subject: Begin Your Golfing Career With An Excellent Golf Club Set [print this page] Before buying a golf club set one must be clear about the goals that he has. If you have decided to take up the game just to accompany a friend once or twice a year then you should not spend much money buying expensive golf clubs. Just in case you have decided to play the game whenever you get the time or are looking forward to take professional help from a coach, then you must look out for club sets that would help in improving your game.
If in case you are deciding to take up the game only to leave it after some time then you must think about getting used golf club sets. They would be considerably cheaper than new ones, and you can easily replace them if you want to continue with the game longer. You must have a budget in mind while looking for your golf components. In case you want to spend on golf clubs then one must go for the best one.
If you are deciding to buy a new set of clubs then you must go for custom made clubs instead of the standard ones available off the shelves. Most pros prefer to get these custom made clubs for their games. In case you are not interested to go for customized clubs then you can go to a shop to select the clubs that have been measured to suit your body well. The clubs available in the market are meant for those with a height of 5 feet 10 inches, if you are around this height then you can buy the standard clubs but if shorter or taller then you must get them customized as per your requirement.
One must pay keen interest on the kind of shafts that are being used for their clubs. You should also pay attention towards the composition of the shaft and the flexibility it shows while swinging. The shafts are available in two different compositions, graphite and steel. Graphite being lighter helps in producing greater swing speeds whereas steel is comparatively cheaper and durable. Some of the more aged players and women can easily benefit from the shafts with the more flexibility which in most cases is made by graphite. Some of the younger and stronger golfers prefer shafts made with steel. Also your clubs should have a lower centre of gravity and a higher moment of inertia.
Often when buying a set of clubs most of the attention is paid towards the irons and the wood, putters are neglected even though they are used more often. These are basically meant for shots with slower speeds and to cover lesser distances.
Putter heads are generally available in many different sizes and shapes. There are two types of putters commonly used, the blade and the mallet.
Blades are generally used for making straight shots. These are the smallest, lightest and narrow. Their weight is concentrated mostly in the face. Mallets are comparatively heavier and when swung, it easily slides across the greens. Apart from putter heads you must also consider the size of the shaft being used with it and the grips.
