For Quality Golf Equipment San Jose Sports Store Can Assist

A beginning golfer faces many choices when first setting himself up to play the game

. For quality golf equipment San Jose golfers need look no further than their local sports stores. Large stores are devoted to paraphernalia associated with this sport and those who love the game can spend many happy hours browsing through the merchandise.

The first buy is probably a set of clubs. For a beginner, these do not need to be brand name clubs. In fact, you may pick up a perfectly good second-hand set. When buying clubs, you can choose from a complete set or just buy the basics and add to it as your game improves.

The clubs that one player swears by may not suit you. Every player plays a little differently. Until your game stabilizes, it won't be possible to make an informed decision on the best clubs for you. A standard set includes irons, woods and wedges. One of the woods will be a driver. A putter is also standard and many players add a hybrid club.

Your golf bag will be quite heavy so you'll need a push/pull buggy. You'll be able to choose a lightweight model if you want. Older players who have trouble walking for eighteen holes may have a self-propelled cart. These run either on batteries or on gas and it is important to have them fully charged or, alternatively, filled with gas, before you start your round. These carts usually take two people and their equipment.

Buggies may be lightweight or more substantial. Most are collapsible and can be taken apart and carried in the trunk. They may have a seat, umbrella and drink holder. Midway between a buggy and a cart is the trolley. This runs on batteries and makes carrying your equipment easy.

To give a better grip when playing, one glove is worn. Gloves are sold as right- or left-handed. These may be made of soft leather or synthetic. They are designed to fit snugly with Velcro fastenings at the wrist. The palm and thumb area may have extra padding and some have support over the knuckles. For maximum comfort, they have very few seams.

Golfing shoes come in a range of types and prices. Comfortable shoes are important. Golf involves quite long periods of walking. If shoes don't fit well, they will rub. Blisters and calluses will spoil a good day's golf. Good shoes should improve traction and many are fitted with cleats for this purpose. They should be well-cushioned. Again shoes come in leather or synthetic fabrics. Waterproof shoes are a good idea.

Golf balls come with varying quality too. If you're beginning your career, you won't notice the difference between cheap and expensive balls. As you are probably going to lose a lot of balls at first, it might be best to buy cheaper ones. Among the more expensive balls, professionals can choose from those that are designed to making the ball travel further, and those with harder covers which develop more spin on shorter shots. It all depends on what you want. Whatever you need in the way of golf equipment San Jose sports stores will be able to help.
