Making The Best Investment In Golf Clubs

By Tom Doerr


There is much more to the game of golf than meets the eye of those who have watched it, but never played the game. It is a sport of precision and requires plenty of calculation, with regards to the force of the swing, the direction the ball is aimed at and the factor of the wind direction, to name but a few. The equipment is of the most important elements of the game, which means that players need to know how to buy golf clubs.

The first thing to assess is how they feel. Some just feel like they suit you. Even at that, they need custom fitting so that they are sized correctly. This adjustment requires measuring your height, the distance from the floor to the wrist, the speed of the swing, and much more.

Longer ones will hit further, even if the swing speed is the same, but it isn't as easy as that. The fact is that this can also cause players to lose some of their control, which many are willing to sacrifice. Graphite shafts on drivers are an inch longer than their steel shafted counterparts because the former weighs less and so custom fitting is essential.

There are many factors taken into consideration, as well, prior to adjusting their height. However, some cannot be adjusted as they could be damaged in the process, such as woods, hybrids and putters. As for the irons, bending the loft should be avoided because it will make them weaker.

After this step, get some professional training. Even a few will make a difference in the way you play the game and the outcome. The right trainer will watch you swing, the manner in which you address the ball and much more.

This is a sport where precision and calculations are a must and so everything possible to ensure the right decisions are made with regards to each swing. This can only be done when the right clubs are being used and the right training is acquired.
