Which Golf Clubs Are Best For You?
By: Lee MacRae
Are you looking to buy new golf clubs? Finding it difficult to determine what will work the best for you? Newcomers especially can become bewildered by the large variety of golf clubs you see when you are looking to buy.
Follow along as we examine what is available on the market today and what they can do for you...and your golf game.
First of all, it can be stated that standard golf clubs will work for just about anyone standing between 5 to six feet in height. And that holds equally for males and females. Shorter or taller golfers may need to look to the custom club for proper equipment.
Will that be cast iron or forged?
For virtually all golfers, the stock cast iron golf clubs will be the soundest way to go.
The major reason? The answer centers on a particular feature of the cast iron club - a larger "sweet spot". This is the are in the center of the club face where "forces" are said to be perfectly balanced to deliver the perfect shot. The larger "sweet spot" you have, the less likely it is that you will hit a bad shot You can still be a little "off center" and the ball is still struck well because you have a larger margin of error. Beginners especially benefit from that standard cast iron feature. Until their swing plane is more developed, they will have an easier time striking the ball on a consistant basis with the cast iron club. That is why clubs like "Big Bertha" came on the market. The large oversized head obviously gives a much larger sweet spot than a normal driver. Average golfers get longer and straighter drives on a more consistant basis.
Conversely, forged iron golf clubs have a much smaller sweet spot and it is far more difficult to hit a ball well with this kind of club.
Which begs the question. Why make forged iron clubs?
This is due to the fact that forged iron offers a better "feel" on your shot because it is a softer metal than cast iron. The better player, with a more refined and "repeatable" swing, can use this "feel" to shape or control his shot in a way that the beginner can't. The better player doesn't need that larger sweet spot because he can strike the ball dead center with far more consistancy. He trades that off for more control.
The next thing to look at is the shaft itself. Will we get one made from steel? Or will it be a composite material?
The important touchstone here is golf club speed. An ordinary golf player will have a club velocity of 80-94 mph. Slower speeds normally means looking at a shaft made from composite material. With a slower swing speed comes less distance on your drives. Less distance means more shots needed to reach the putting green. Not a good thing if you want to lower your score. Composite shafts will allow you to get that much needed distance on your shots. And even within the composite shaft class, you will find variations in flex and materials that will affect your game.
For golfers with faster swing speeds, you don't necessarily need more distance. What you really want is more control. A steel tube shaft will give you that control to go along with your acceptable distance.
Have your swing speed determined by visiting your local pro shop or a golf store that is equiped with a swing speed radar device. Or simply buy a small radar device for yourself. You can find some small devices that operate by batteries but are effective enough to determine your swing speed.
With only these few starting tips, it is typically best if you rent a few different sets of clubs as you play and take note of how each club serves or handicaps your game. You are looking to ascertain your own strengths as well as weaknesses. Check out the assorted types and varieties of golf clubs you may find in a rental shop, for example, and discover what works best for you.
Work on these tips and make sure you tee off with a positive mindset. The more you practice and implement what you learn, the more confidence you will gain in your ability to hit it straight and long. And watch your scores begin to plummet!
Improve your golf game with improved golf fitness before you hit the links again!
Quick Golf Ideas
The shove type: The word shove is misleading. An actual shove is illegal. It's only a feel. What gives this shove feel is the stroke is made with a very short backswing and a long followthrough. The advantage of this type of stroke is the shorter the backswing, the less chance of error.

While all golfers continue to look for that secret that will perfect their swing,. it is wishful thinking that they will find it because their is no secret to swinging the golf club. Even with the best of players no two swings are alike. What works for one player doesn't necessarily work for another. There are no two swings alike - similar, but not alike.

Posture Not Perfect
Unless you're young or unusually flexible, you're not going to look like Tiger Woods at address. Stay relaxed rather than forcing your back straight.
...Golf Tips magazine
The trajectory of a golf ball and the distance it travels depends on its initial trajectory, speed and spin, as well as what it's moving through (air). The air is not always the same. It varies in temperature, pressure, humidity and density. If there were no air whatsoever, the golf ball would not travel far. Likewise, if a ball is hit in air with no spin, it will not travel far.

Harrington hopes Open exam leads to Masters joy
Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:00:01 +0100
<p>While Tiger Woods has given the outright betting to win the Masters a top-heavy feel, the presence of Padraig Harrington has provided the "leading European" market with a similar balance problem. If the bookmakers' even-money caution suggests there is only one man who can win this week, then there is also a heavy hint that only one of Nick Faldo's Ryder Cup team is capable of launching a realistic challenge. Harrington is as low as 20-1 to don his continent's first Green Jacket in nine years, while Justin Rose is the next best-priced at odds as high as 40-1. In other words the wily Irishman is twice as likely to prevail as the much-heralded young Englishman. And Harrington believes he knows why.</p>
