Back to our discussion on the price of your new beginner golf clubs. The top of the line, high-end golf clubs can
run you up to 3 or 4 thousand dollars by the time you are done. The question is the $3000.00 set of golf clubs 10 x better
for me than the $300.00 set of golf clubs? Most likely not, quite often students are happy with their first purchase of clubs
for a few years before feeling the need to go out and get fitted with high end golf clubs. So if you are a beginner golfer
we would suggest a standard set of clubs. Unless you are unusually tall, short, strong or have very large or very small hands.
Generally speaking when regarding beginner golf clubs we would recommend golf starter clubs valued under $500.00 so
you can have a good quality set and not over commit on your golfing budget.
Remember we are going to need money left over for green fees, golf balls and shoes.
What specifications are right for me?
Golf clubs come in all shapes and sizes some
considerations for the correct set for you are as follows.
What golf club flex is right for me?
As a general rule a beginner golf starter set should have a golf club shaft that fits their needs.
We would strongly discourage purchasing a set of clubs that is too stiff for the amount of speed that the golfer produces.
If there were a direction to err we would suggest a softer shaft, which is easier to flex. Like a fishing rod we need to flex
the shaft to get the most distance. We would strongly discourage 100-pound women purchasing the next-door neighbor's extra
stiff shafted men’s golf clubs, even if they were dirt-cheap. This would hinder your progression substantially.
For the beginner golf set we would suggest
for 90% of men to start out with a men’s standard club shaft and for women we would definitely consider the shaft flex
as a very important factor of your purchase. Choose the softest or ladies flex until your swing speed and golf muscles are
developed. Some very strong athletic women may eventually use regular or stiff men’s club shafts.
Should you purchase Graphite or Steel Shafts?
The question of golf shaft composition could raise some debate amongst your playing
partners. Many beginner golfers will prefer to use the graphite shafted clubs as these help to absorb the jarring of shots
not hit perfectly in the sweet spot. The advantage of steel shafted clubs is they are generally a little cheaper and more
consistent.
What Golf Club Head Design?
There are many golf club head designs on the
market, too many to mention them all. We want you as a beginner to be looking for an Iron Golf Club Head Design that features
a lot of weight on the base of the club. This will assist you getting the golf ball into the air. Golf clubs with a cavity
back are very good for the golf starter set as the perimeter weighted design of cavity back golf club will allow for the sweet
spot of the golf club to be larger than the thinner blade style models which are generally better left for the pro’s
or top amateurs.
What is the best starter golf set make up?
Golf set make up refers to
the type of clubs and the loft of clubs that you decide to use in your starter golf set.
Traditionally a standard set of golf clubs would comprise of Irons 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,PW
and SW and woods 1 3 and 5.
With
the invention of the utility clubs and hybrids many manufacturers now choose to build sets without the 3 irons. Hybrid clubs
are often used as a replacement for the 3 irons as they are easier to hit.
When buying golf starter clubs it may be tantalizing to look for the expensive high end driver
however we suggest that unless you are a very accomplished golfer that a 5 or 7 wood will be a far more enjoyable experience.
We hope that this helps you make a smarter
choice and saves you a few dollars.
Many golfers have contacted us requesting a recommendation on one or two sets
that we particularly like for beginner golfers.
