How should beginners choose golf clubs when playing golf? Many beginners have this problem, sometimes it’s not ideal to choose the wrong club to hit the ball, but it feels expensive to choose the clubs used by professional players from the beginning. How to choose a golf club? When to choose what kind of golf club? JTWGOLF will take you to learn about it.

The golf club is one of the important factors for hitting a good ball. If you want to play well, then you must have a suitable golf club in your bag. How to make this sport simpler? Although the new ball equipment, especially the new serving beam, track beam, and long iron, can make the sport easier, the push rod that suits oneself is also the best choice for you to hit the ball well.

Most professional players choose a smaller face angle for their kick-off compared to regular players, mainly due to their higher head speed. For most people, the ball is more ideal when the face angle is between 10.5 degrees and 12 degrees compared to a smaller face angle. It is best for the face angle of a lady’s tee to be no less than 13 degrees.

In addition to using a smaller angle tee, most professional players also choose a harder shaft, mainly because their swing speed is faster and a harder shaft is more helpful for them to control the club head.

Many students have found that the shaft of their golf clubs is relatively hard, but their head speed cannot handle such clubs. So it’s important to choose a shaft that suits your swing speed.

When choosing a golf club, it is important to ensure that both the shaft and face angles are suitable, as this can improve your accuracy when hitting the farthest ball. When choosing a cue stick, be sure to measure your swing speed. It is recommended not to use clubs with high shaft hardness, as the ball will fly lower and the distance will be shorter. Clubs with too small a face angle can also have the same problem.

Both the shaft and the corner of the face are suitable for one’s own kick-off, and the shot will be straighter, higher, and farther. This seems to be the expectation of every player.

The most difficult thing to handle in the golf bag is the “long iron”, which refers to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th iron, even for experienced players.

The reason why these rods are difficult to hit is mainly because it is difficult to control the correct trajectory. The ball hit by the long iron is relatively low, so it is not suitable for hitting the green, and the “sweet spot” of these sticks is also small, making it relatively difficult to touch the ball.

Therefore, it is recommended that you replace these poles with “iron and wood poles”. The face angle and shaft length of the iron wood pole are basically the same as those of the long iron, but the head looks more like a small track wood. Iron and wood poles can be more prone to pilling and are more useful than long iron rods. Nowadays, most professional golfers carry at least one iron wooden pole to replace the No. 2 or No. 3 iron.

When playing long-distance balls on the track, it is easier to use an iron wood rod than traditional long iron rods. This is because these iron and wood rods have a lower center of gravity, which allows most of the weight of the club to be placed under the ball when hitting, resulting in a higher trajectory.

The ‘lane wood’ is also being updated year by year. When I started learning ball, most of these clubs were made of wood. Their sweet spots are smaller, making it difficult to hit the correct trajectory, just like the original long iron.

There have been significant improvements in the design of the track wood, including a flatter face that lowers the center of gravity, making it easier for the ball to bounce. At the same time, steel or titanium club heads also make the sweetness point bigger, which is much superior to old-fashioned “wooden” track wood.

It is also recommended to choose the new model when selecting the push rod. These push rods have some new features that can help you improve them.

Nowadays, there are inserts on the face of the push rod to make the ball feel softer. Some rods even have special grooves on the face to allow the ball to roll better.

In terms of putting, most people have problems with aiming, so choosing a suitable putting rod will help to aim the ball more accurately. There are many such good choices now.

When choosing a push rod, it is important to try multiple options. Finally, choose the one that feels best and is easiest for you to aim at.

The right club can make your ball play better, and most importantly, you can derive greater pleasure from it. So when choosing a golf club, you can consult with a professional golf coach or a professional golf adjuster to listen to their advice, so that the club you choose will be more suitable for you.

JTWGOLF will take you to understand how beginners can choose the right golf club for themselves

The first step

At the beginning of playing, you can use borrowed or second-hand golf clubs. These clubs include at least one No. 3 wood (there is no need to use No. 1 wood yet), several iron rods, and a putting rod. Use these clubs to familiarize yourself with the sport and decide whether you want to continue.

Step 2

Purchase a set of your own novice golf clubs. At this stage, it is not necessary to customize clubs and/or purchase branded clubs, otherwise if you give up on this sport, it will be a very expensive lesson. Go to a golf discount store or department store and buy a beginner’s basic golf club set, which may include a size 1, a size 3, odd numbered iron bars (size 3, 5, 7, 9), a putting rod, and a golf bag with the club. Of course, you need to make some basic judgments: choose men’s equipment or women’s equipment, whether you are a left-handed player or a right-handed player. In addition, you may also face the choice between steel and carbon shafts. As a beginner, choose a steel pole body because it is durable and has a lower price. With these equipment, you can start playing golf.

Step 3

I have been playing for about a year now, equipped with a complete set of clubs to improve my skills. This set of golf clubs usually includes a 1-piece, a 3-piece, a 5-piece, and a set of 3-to-P iron rods, as well as a separate push rod. At the beginning, a blade type push rod is sufficient. This equipment does not include specialized golf clubs that you currently do not need, such as digging rods (sand pit digging rods, approach wedges, and high throw digging rods), long iron rods (No. 1 iron, No. 2 iron), and other wooden rods (No. 7 wood, No. 9 wood, and even numbered wooden rods). Now you will still face the choice between steel and carbon shafts, and continue to use steel shafts in the initial stage of improving your skills. You also need to consider offset heads for clubs (to increase trajectory or reduce curveballs) and hollowed out iron bars (to enlarge the “sweet spot”), which are very helpful for high difference players.

Step 4

With the improvement of ball skills, some specialized clubs such as sand pit digging clubs or high throw digging clubs are added. A 60 degree high throw digging pole helps avoid trouble around the green. If you’re struggling with a wooden cue stick, try a long iron (like a No. 2 iron) or an iron wood cue (combining the benefits of a wooden cue stick and an iron man). If you are not good at growing iron bars, use No. 7 wood instead of No. 3 iron. But you have to remember that the maximum number of clubs in the bag is 14, otherwise you will be punished. If you have problems with the push rod, you can use a wooden mallet instead of the blade. For ordinary players, 50% of serving requires putting.

Step 5

In a few years, as your skills continue to improve, you will be able to match your skills with good golf clubs. At this point, you know that you are a very loyal golfer, and compared to when you first started playing, the investment risk is much lower now. For this new set of golf clubs, you need to consider the brand, grip, carbon shaft, shaft hardness, cast or forged iron, etc, offset heads, cavity back heads， The most important thing is custom-made golf clubs. Customization is to tailor the length, curvature, head angle, and face angle of the shaft to fit your size and swing style. If you want to become a serious player, these extra expenses are worth it. As playing changes, you may consider belly PUTTER, which is an increasingly popular club among professional players.

Summary: In the early stages, one should not blindly invest in this sport. Instead, it is important to check whether one is interested in it and whether it is suitable for oneself. If you are truly interested, then good golf clubs will definitely be a must-have for you as your skills grow. In the early stage, you can reduce your consumption appropriately and choose some novice equipment. After your skills are good, it depends on how you spread your wings and fly high.
