The Right Golf Clubs for Your Game Are Only A Mouse Click Away
Golf equipment has changed over the years and the way we play the game has altered as well. The irons we carry have changed, with most manufacturers realising the increasing popularity of easy-to-hit hybrids and marketing irons sets which start at the 4-iron and sometimes even at the 5-iron. It stands to reason, as for most club players the hybrid is significantly easier to play than the irons.
The volume of driver heads is governed by the current USGA and R…A limits. For conforming drivers that limit is 460 cc and most club golfers would do well to play to that limit. If you struggle with consistency with your driver, a larger driver will most likely help in most cases. New perimeter weighted designs and modern square or triangular profiles make for a much more forgiving driver, even on bad swings. Playing a bigger driver means less loss of distance and accuracy on miss-hits.
The engine of your driver, as with all clubs, is the shaft. Fit the wrong shaft and you’ll be struggling with the club. Most common faults can be reduced or even eliminated simply by playing the right shafts. Troubled by a slice, a more flexible shaft might do the trick. If your launch angles are too low, then using a driver shaft with a more flexible tip for example, could add some loft to your drives. Fit the right shaft for your swing speed and your driving will get stronger. If you don’t know how fast you swing the club, nearly all of the top shaft companies also factor in shaft ratings for carry distances as well. Check the flex rating for various shafts and match your average carry distance to a flex rating.
Sales of hybrid clubs are now outpacing fairway woods by almost 100%. If you need consistency in your long game, some easy-to-hit hybrids could well be your best decision. Extremely forgiving and very versatile from all kind of lie, hybrids work just as well from the tee, fairway and even the rough. These are high hitting clubs, so shaft manufacturers now offer a range of shafts expressly made for hybrids.
Iron designs now come in an even wider range of choices. Modern irons can help many of the most common swing faults. Offset designs to reduce or even eliminate slices, wider soles on irons can reduce the fat shot and get much needed height on the ball for lots of golfers. Take a long look at your irons. If their design doesn’t give you the help you need, then it’s in all probability time for a change.
The short game is where you bring in your scores and that offers a lot of options as well. Wedges come in a number of forgiving designs so you don’t have to compromise your wedge play anymore. If you have problems playing little flop-shots then high lofted wedges are there to help. If your bunker play is inconsistent, choose an easy to hit hollow sand wedge. These hollow wedges are almost impossible to miss-hit and make easy work of just about any bunker.
Recent changes in equipment rules now allow for some pretty strange looking putter designs. Strange looking, but playable. If your putting is unreliable, a more forgiving putter design may well be the best decision. Closing the putter too much towards the hole? You probably miss a lot of putts to the left (for a right handed golfer) and a face balanced mallet could well be the solution to your putting woes.
