Finding
the perfect golf club Back
to articles
The following article lists some simple, informative
tips that will help you have a better experience with
golf clubs.
Hopefully the information presented so far has been
applicable. You might also want to consider the following:
If you think any old golf clubs will do, you haven’t
been on the course trying to compensate for a club
that’s simply too long or two short. Besides
making a shambles of your golf game, ill-fitting clubs
can leave your body aching after the game. If you’re
spending all your time compensating, you probably
aren’t shooting your best or even enjoying the
time on the course.
So does that mean that you’re going to spend
hundreds of extra dollars on a set of clubs with a
custom fit? While custom clubs are one answer, most
people can find what they need from a well-stocked
golf store. But there are some things to keep in mind.
Length of the club is important, but it’s not
everything. The pros say that the size of your golf
club’s grip should be comfortable for your hands.
That’s why clubs for younger players and women
often have a smaller grip.
If you should decide to go for a set of custom clubs,
what is the process? It’s nothing like be measured
for a suit. The point is not only to make the club
reach from the point of your outstretched hand to
the ground, but also to make the most of your body
– your strengths and your weaknesses. So don’t
go for your custom golf club fitting session expecting
to spread your arms and stand still while someone
uses a tape measure.
A good custom fit will probably take place both inside
and outside. The best custom fit clubs will be tailored
so that your swing is taken into account. Sound expensive?
Possibly.
While some major golf club manufacturers will charge
(dearly) for the actual “fitting,” many
offer up this service for free, with your commitment
to buy clubs from that company. While custom clubs
are more expensive than clubs purchased “off
the shelf” from your local golf supplier or
even from an outlet store or individual, the results
will probably show themselves right away on the golf
course.
Consider the shots that you may have been compensating
for all your years of playing golf. If you’re
taller or shorter than the “typical” golfer,
or even if you have some muscle strengths or weaknesses
that make your game a bit more of a challenge, custom
clubs can help you compensate.
But what if you want the clubs immediately? Do you
have to go with “off the shelf” clubs?
Actually, many manufacturers who provide custom golf
clubs promise delivery within just a few days, a week
or two at most.
Among the few negatives of custom golf clubs is the
potential for offering them up as a surprise gift
and the potential for resale. But at the same time,
the golfer who is going to receive the custom clubs
will likely gladly give up the “surprise”
and most who go to this expense and trouble aren’t
going to offer the clubs for sale.
Only you can decide whether custom golf clubs are
a good investment for you. If you’re going to
spend a bundle of money for an awesome set of clubs,
you may very well take the extra step to get custom
clubs.
There's a lot to understand about golf clubs. We
were able to provide you with some of the facts above,
but there is still plenty more to write about in subsequent
articles.
