3 Tips On Buying Your Own Clubs
Edwin Shackleford
Golf is a very addicting game mainly because you’re both
relaxed and also in a competitive mood. You’re having fun,
shooting at your own slow pace and now you’ve decided to start
taking the game seriously. You want to improve your game, do
things correctly. First thing you have to do is buy clubs. Here
are some tips when buying golf clubs.
Create Your Own Club
Clubs can be custom-fitted according to your needs. One thing
to remember is that it’s all about measurements. You should
know your height and the length from your wrist to the floor.
Average players stand 5 feet 2 inches high and have
wrist-to-floor measurements of about 34 inches. They will use
the standard length of a club. Consult your club dealer about
it if you’re taller or shorter than that or if your
wrist-to-floor measurement is not of average proportions.
You should also let someone test your swing speed. Regular male
swing speed is about 75-84 mph and will need a 5 or 6 iron.
Regular female swing speed is slower, around 60 mph. A 3 iron
or wood would be best suited to help you.
Remember that all players should use standard golf clubs unless
you are obviously shorter or taller than an average player.
Standard measurements give an average player more distance and
accuracy.
Choosing the Right Shafts
Should you use steel or graphite shafts? The thing to remember
is that steel shafts are heavier than the graphite ones. Men in
their mid 50’s or younger are advised to use steel and just go
to graphite once their swing speed has slowed. Women of all
ages are advised to use graphite for its lighter weight to
compensate for their slower swing speed.
Maintain Your Clubs
Buying your golf clubs does not end there. Proper maintenance
is required on your clubs. You should try to regrip it from
time to time. This is to prevent your clubs from becoming
loose. This will help you from buying again and again because
your clubs are worn out.
Just remember that golf equipment also have their measurements.
Ignorance of this has led many golfers to believe that the more
expensive the golf club is, the better they will play. It’s
more about how comfortable you are with your clubs and the way
you regularly maintain them that matters.
