When you take up a new sport you have a high degree of initial enthusiasm and often you are tempted to rush out and get the best equipment and golf is no exception, but what equipment or type of golf clubs does a new golfer really need.
There are lengthy books on developing the correct swing, practice tips and even training, but unfortunately the golfer who is just starting out to play golf, is left at the mercy of the pro-shop salesmen to buy his or her beginner’s golf equipment.
All of the big, brand name sports equipment manufacturers spend so much money advertising and hoping that customers will realize who has the best golf gear but as a new golfer how much do you need to spend?
Using the driver that Tiger Woods does, will not enable you to use it to your best ability and you are best suited for a driver that matches your playing style. Similarly, for golf balls and other beginner’s golf equipment, it is the same case.
The first thing on your shopping list will of course be a good set of golf clubs and a bag. The trick here is to understand that professionally endorsed products are not all the same and you need to find a set of clubs that feels good for you. It will probably take at least 6 months for you to find your style any way so save yourself some money here.
Steel shafted clubs are far more durable than either graphite or carbon fiber, and they are stronger too, but they are also heavier to use and carry around. They also have better accuracy and control as compared to graphite shafted clubs.
They also have a far lower level of twisting, but do not have the same effective range as graphite shafted golf clubs. You will require more power and a faster swing to make your golf balls go an extra distance.
Graphite shafted clubs are much lighter than steel clubs and can generate faster swing speeds, which will take your ball farther. Since they take your ball farther, they also have an associated loss of control over the ball on behalf of the flex created while swinging.
Choosing a correct shaft flex or level of stiffness for the club is important too. Golfing pros use a high level of stiffness for they can generate high swing speeds at the club head, and are therefore able to generate more power from a stiff flex.
Now that you are able to see beyond the advertising and endorsements, you are in a far better position to make a sensible purchasing decision when you buy your next set of clubs.
