Choosing the right golf clubs

"So how hard can it be?" I remember asking myself this when I went through the process of choosing golf clubs. When you think about it, Golf Clubs consist of Golf Driver , Golf Putter , Golf Hybrid, Golf Wedges and Golf Irons . You get to choose one club per category or all five if you are an experienced golfer.

The average person will try to find what is most comfortable to them. Unfortunately for us, sometimes that will lead us down a dangerous path of poor selection.  First, let's talk about the different types of golf drivers on the market:


  • Golf Drivers with an offset  - This type of golf driver has its weight biased towards the heel (offset) which creates a slice tendency. Golfers using this type of club will have a "push" hook or an end slice because there is less mass at the point of impact.
  • Golf Drivers with a square face  - The weight in this golf driver is placed more towards the middle and back of the head, while also creating a shorter shaft for more control.
  • Golf Drivers with an adjustable hosel  - This driver can change it's center of gravity depending on your preference. You can add or decrease loft through a wrench that tightens or loosens two bolts located near the crown of the head. Golfers should always check to make sure their golf ball flight isn't being when adjusting their driver.


Next, you should look at Golf Clubs in the Golf Putter category. A Golf Putter will always have a straight shaft and a putter head made of stainless steel or titanium. The golf putters with loft blades can be suitable for people with faster swing speeds, while mallet golf club heads work better for players who have slower swing speeds

Golf Wedges  are used to get out of tough situations on the green such as bunkers and small mounds around the green that cause you to land your golf ball short or long of your target.


There are three types of Golf Wedge:

  • Golf Sand Wedge - This type of golf wedge has its weight biased towards the heel which creates a tendency for more spin when hitting a bunker shot.
  • Golf Lob Wedge - Also known as a Golf Chopping wedge, this golf club is the easiest to use. It has its weight bias towards the heel and sole which will prevent you from digging into the green and getting under your golf ball.
  • Golf Approach Wedge - This type of Golf Club has its weight biased more towards the toe and also has a flange that forces you to contact the ground first before hitting your golf ball (like a putting putter).


The last Golf Clubs category we will look at are Golf Hybrid  clubs. A Golf Hybrid  is similar to a fairway wood but it's around 40% shorter in length than most fairway woods. Golfers should choose Golf Hybrid Clubs that are just under the length of their golf driver . Golfers also need to make sure they are using a Golf Club with both lofts on the club.


Now that you have knowledge about Golf Clubs , you can make an educated choice on which one is right for you!  Jack Nicolas is a Golf enthusiast who shares information  on how to choose Golf Clubs  for beginners in this article. For more tips, visit his website at Golf-Tutorials.com
