Choosing the Perfect Golf Set For Beginners
Starting out as a golfer and choosing your clubs can be very tricky as there are so many variations of styles and clubs available on the marketplace today. Golfers can choose from drivers, irons, woods, hybrids, putters and wedges. Beginners would be advised to keep things simple when choosing their clubs as it can get pretty complicated!
Typical Golf Set
As you will not have the experience and the feel for the game and preferences of clubs yet, it would probably be best to buy a Golf set rather than try to choose individual pieces. A set will offer you a wide variety of clubs for all circumstances and allow you to work out your preferences. A Typical golf set such as the Confidence Golf Power Clubs set will comprise of:
o Oversized 3 Wood fitted with graphite shaft, complete with embroidered headcover
o 24° hybrid wood with a steel shaft, replaces the difficult to hit longer irons
o 6-7-8-9-PW-SW easy to hit cavity back irons with steel shaft
o Putter fitted with steel shaft
o Upgraded stand bag with auto pop legs, plenty of external storage, and rain cover included as standard
Irons
There are two types of clubs. Clubs with cavity backs and forged blade clubs. Beginners are advised to go for the cavity-backed clubs. The cavity backs allow the clubs to stay weighted and low allowing a greater sweet spot and more forgiveness when swinging for the ball. Forged blades are usually for the more experienced player and require a greater level of accuracy.
For greater accuracy as well as opting for the cavity-backed clubs, beginners should also opt for a graphite shaft on their drivers. These shafts are more flexible than a normal stiff shaft allowing a greater margin for a successful swing. Stiffer shafts are, again, for the more experienced golfers who have perfected their finesse and accuracy.
As a beginner, you will more than likely find that you will be relying heavily on your 7-iron and pitching wedge, as you gather more experience in the game you will start trying other clubs, especially the new hybrid clubs for longer shots.
Drivers and Woods
Drivers and woods are meant for long-distance swings and shots. Beginners would be wise to opt for larger headed clubs for an increased chance of accuracy on a swing.
What's a Hybrid
Hybrid clubs are a mixture between a driver and a wood. Combining the elements of a driving iron, an iron and a wood. These clubs are great for beginners, they are easy to hit and can be used on multiple types of lies, making them essential for many parts of the course.
Putters
There are two types of putters, mallets and blades. It can be argued that blades create a more consistent stroke, but new technology in the mallets mean a higher sweet spot and a high Moment of Inertia. This means that the mallet is weighted in such a way that twisting and resistance of the club is highly reduced, meaning that both amateurs and professions alike prefer the new mallet, and swing accuracy is increased. In package sets you get a variety of different putters so have a try with a few before you buy.
Choosing a bag
Choosing a bag is all down to preference. Most bags that accompany the golf sets are free-standing ones and have two-pronged legs that are used to proper the bag up. The other bags are the type that sits upon golf trolleys.
On the whole, it is always down to a player's personal choice on what clubs they choose to start with. It is always best though to do your research into clubs and golf sets as prices will usually be cheaper on the internet as they cut out the middle man and pass on the savings to you.
