A big difference can be felt in your game, depending on the club you use. New advancements in golf club technologies make lighter, bigger, and better golf clubs available to the experienced as well as inexperienced golfer.
How do you know what to look for in golf clubs? For beginners, you will likely have only drivers, wedges, putters and irons in your golf bag. Beginners will need to use the proper type of club to speed up the learning process. Different clubs are designed for different purposes, such as improving swing speed, and correcting faults to improve your score. You must take into consideration the style, size, and type of material used to make the golf club shaft. One of the less expensive materials is steel. Steel club shafts last longer than other shaft types. The steel shaft may also give you more control over those fast swings. Graphite shafts are lighter than steel, but also more expensive. This type of club is used for long distance shots or for slower swingers.Steel and graphite shaft options are available on most clubs for sale today. Keep in mind that graphite shafts will not only be lighter and easier to handle, they will also be more forgiving if you have a bad shot.Vibration is absorbed to give you a better feel. Plus, you will pick up some distance because the speed of the swing will be greater due to the lighter materials.
The flexibility of a shaft is referred to as flex, or bend. The less the bend in a shaft, the more control the powerful swinger will have. Beginning golfers, and those with weaker swings will use a more flexible shaft to improve swing speed. 65 mph is an average swing speed for beginners. Advanced swings can top 100 mph.
When it comes to selecting a golf club driver, especially as a beginner, you will probably want one with a head made out of titanium. Titanium is stronger, denser, and lighter than steel so the club head can be made larger with the same amount of materials. The advantage to having a large head driver is there is a larger “sweet spot” giving you more area to hit the ball with. With this type of golf club head, the club will be much more forgiving if you miss hit the ball or have a bad shot.
The goal when buying golf clubs should be to own the best golf clubs you can afford, whether they are name brands, used, or a reproduction of one of the name brands.
