I just got back into golf last summer after a year break and i need help finding some new clubs for next summer. I know the basics about finding new clubs. Best round 86, driver swing speed about 94, drive about 260-270 strait.
HELP, what clubs should i get?
Please include driver, fairway woods, hybrids (if applicable), irons, wedges, and putter
THANKS A LOT
It depends a lot on your swing analysis, go to a professional and ask for it. Golf smith has Golf TEC or look for a golf TEC store near you.
They have a Machine named VECTOR and can tell you even which ball will work better for you.
Golf Basics : How Do You Measure Golf Clubs for a Travel Case?
Where can I find all the basics I need to know about a good golf swing?
I’m going golfing for the first time in a couple of years and didn’t want to make a fool out of myself. A pictured diagram of foot placement, grip and the actual swing would be perfect.
LOL @ the answer above! One of my all time favorite books on the fundamentals of the swing is David Leadbetter’s original book “The Golf Swing”. Basic, easy to understand.
Another suggestion is to go out to a local lake or pond and skip a few flat rocks across the surface. Pay attention and feel the motion. Replicate it in your golf swing when you play and you’ll be ahead of the curve.
What is the best set of golf clubs for a left handed beginner?
I want to purchase my first set of golf clubs. I have not been golfing too many times but I am pretty athletic and a quick learner. I am not trying to be a pro but would like to have fun. I usually spend a little more than average on my sporting equipment because usually you can get better quality and if nothing else at least it makes you more confident. I want to spend around $1000.00 on clubs and I am wondering what else I should buy shoes, bag, glove, etc. I would also like to know the basics when it comes to club selection, offset, shaft length, stiffness, etc. Someone who could summerize for me would be great!!!
I am left-handed but play right because it was easier for me to learn that way and club selection is greater. Golfmith has an excellent selection of right and left handed clubs though. They also have a golf simulator that tests your swing-that will help determine what kind of clubs you need. Stiff versus flex, speed rating etc. Even though I am a lady, I have a very fast swing speed of 125+ mph so I need a very stiff graphite shaft so I chose a men’s set (Nickent). I find that graphite shafts are more forgiving than steel. I have been playing almost everyday for 3 yrs and my game has changed so much that I am glad I waited to invest more money on clubs until I was able to understand what my needs were better.
im going to a practice range for the first time tommrow and was wondering like what each club and stuff is used for cuz i have a whole set of clubs balls shoe etc or what are some tips about my swing?
First of all, don’t rush your swing. Start slowly and try to send balls where you want. Your swing tempo will decide what kind of golfer you will become.
Second of all, instead of trying to crush the balls, try to hit them softly. You will get the feeling of hitting balls crisply, then you can start a little harder with bigger swing.
Help with golf club (irons) selection around the course?
I am a relative beginner to golf, and am having a bit of trouble selecting the correct club to use whilst on the course. Does anyone have a basic guide to what club I should be using in line with the distance/ground etc. For example if I am 200yds from the flag and in the rough etc.
Cheers.
The first thing you need to do is get to a golf range with accurate yardage markers and hit some balls: See how far they get and either make a mental note or write your yardages down, because not everyone hits the ball the same distance. Just swing normally and dont try and blast the ball – you want to get an idea on your ordinary range without over-doing it.
As a rough guide for a beginner, you may expect 140-150 yards from your 7 iron. For each iron you go away from that, add or subtract 10-15 yards, so if you hit your 7 iron 140 yards, you can expect to get 125-130 yards or so from an 8 iron. For your 200 yard example, expect to use a 4 iron (or hybrid).
When you’re out on the golf course though, you must remember to take wind and elevation into account. Its all very well being at the 150 yard marker and thinking “I can hit my 6 iron for 150, I’ll use it”, but if the wind is against you or its uphill to the green, then you’ll need to take more club; i.e. a 5 iron instead of the 6.
Conversely if the wind is coming from behind you or you’re playing downward to the green, you might choose to go the other way and use an 7 iron to avoid overshooting the green.
On a dry day, consider the ground may be more bouncy and the ball may roll further. The opposite is true if its raining heavily or the ground is already wet.
Lastly, consider your lie: If you’re in thick rough, you’ll often do better to take a club that can get the ball back into play (like a wedge or short iron) with a sensible shot rather than taking that long ‘hero 3-iron’ attempt at the green.

How long does it take for golf drills to work consistently and for your own golf swing?
With the new drills, i dont seem to have as much distance with irons and driver as i used to. Why is this?
It can take several weeks of many hourly repetitions to groove the desired move the drill teaches. One reason your new swing may not achieve the desired distance is, you may still be conciously thinking about the movements you want to make instead of trusting your muscle memory to accomplish the swing. If that is it, your swing is not as fluid. Once you know how you want to swing the club, you can let it go to generate the needed club head speed because there will be no thinking.
Don’t really worry, changes take some time. Trust what you are learning will be better than what you had.
