Golf club sets – Choose wisely and lower your handicap

Golf club sets are important to any professional or amateur golfer. A properly selected golf set can give your game the required fillip in terms lowering the handicap.

Golf clubs with steel shafts are highly recommended for greater control, whereas titanium shafts are advised for those golfers who believe in perfect swing and raw power.

Golf Club Sets consists of several woods & irons, sand wedge, pitching wedge and putter. Beginners tend to feel comfortable with woods which are easy to handle; these are generally used for long shots. Irons on the other hand are difficult to control, especially number 1 & 2. Numbers 3 and 5 are two most favored clubs for long distance shots.

Broadly, there are three types of golf clubs; woods, irons, and putters. Woods are typically used for long shots, irons for both long and short distance; whereas the putters have their task cut out very clearly; to roll the ball into the cup.

Along with the length of the club, the design and construction of the heads, called the “Golf Driver Heads” play an important role in enhancing the game of the player.

A titanium based driver head is generally available in over sized design due to its inherent light weight. This in turn results in a head which has a bigger contact spot called the “sweet spot”. It is used by amateurs who tend to hit the ball off centre.

Stainless steel driver heads are heavier, which forces its manufacture to design them in smaller sizes. Although it has less contact area, the hardness and weight allows the golfer to have a better control on the direction.

Today, the market is flooded with Clone Golf Clubs; be it Irons, fairway woods, hybrids, wedges or putters. They are cheaper than the original brands. But the question that pops up in the buyers head is. Will they actually perform? The answer is, yes. These clone clubs are manufactured with the same technology and material and are likely to give the originals a run for their money in terms of quality.
