The article want to mention the newbies on glof how to purchaseing the equipments for starting the first course,
of course you could see many brands of wood, driver, irons, putters and wedges to choose from in a variety of websites, but you'd better forcus on some notices comes from the experienced golfer before you buy it. Your first move is to buy a complete set of starter clubs. A complete starter set consists of 11 clubs. Usually a driver (1-wood) and one or two fairway woods, most commonly a 3-wood and 5-wood, irons 3 thru 9, a pitching wedge and a putter and a golf bag in most cases. Woods have large heads that are fairly round in shape with a somewhat protruding clubface and a compressed bottom that slides over the ground without digging in during the stroke. They are used for the longest shots on the course usually for driving the ball. Iron have smaller heads and are typically solid with a flat clubface. They are used for shorter shots than woods, like shots approaching the greens. Wedges are irons with a loft. The degree of loft depends on the type of wedge. The types of wedges are Pitching wedges, Sand wedges and Lob wedges. They are used on shots from bunkers and shots from the sand. Putters have a variety of head shapes and a low loft with a short shaft. They are used on the green for putting, but occasionally used from bunkers. There is a new type of club that you don't find very often in a starter set but are important to mention. These are hybrid clubs. Hybrids are a cross between a fairway wood and a long iron. A hybrid club has a larger head and more mass than an iron, but a head much more compact than a typical wood. The options you have when buying a set of starter clubs is whether to buy new or used. It is recommended to buy a new set so you wont run into problems like worn grips, cracked shafts and other problems. Although a used set can save you money you never really know what you are getting in to. If cost is a big issue and a used set is all you can afford, try to buy from a friend or someone you trust so you have a good idea of the condition of the clubs. Earlier we mentioned buying a complete starter set. Some agree with this and some don't. Simply put if you are going to put a set together it is much harder to decide on the individual clubs and much more expensive to purchase individually. This is a no-brainer, buy a starter set and spend the extra money on golf lessons. hot products: TaylorMade Rossa putter Taylormade Burner Driver TaylorMade Burner Fairway Wood -------------------- |
