Before You Buy

Previously on how to choose a right club for yourself. If you are ignoring the financial crisis and allowed to or able to buy big branded golf clubs, and if your first set of clubs is going to be a new one, you might consider a clubfitting. Many teaching pros do an in-depth clubfitting that lasts 30-45 minutes. If you don’t do that, then being measured in a pro shop to make sure the clubs you choose are well-suited to your body type can’t hurt.

The standard, off-the-shelf length for golf clubs corresponds to a male who is 5-foot-10. If you are around that size, then standard will probably work just fine. If you are much shorter or taller, just get fitted with the Titleist AP2 Irons that you will pick up probably. Clubfitting will help you find a right set and make your game easier.

There’s no substitute for a good golf swing. But brand new golfers can make it easier on themselves by choosing clubs that are geared to higher-handicappers (also known as “game improvement clubs”). Choose irons that are perimeter weighted and cavity-backed. Look at “hybrid” sets, where the long irons (3-, 4- and sometimes 5-irons) are replaced by utility clubs. Get a driver with more loft, not less. Pay no attention at all to what the Tour players are using, because they may not fit you at all for pros are pros and you are just a new beginner. Choose some golf clubs for sale which make much more sense.

Besides, except yourself, you can always pay attention to what your friends are using and how about giving him or her a surprise by sending him cheap golf clubs for the beginning of his game?
