If you a beginner at playing golf, you should probably not buy a new golf club set immediately, since you may find out that you don’t like the game that much after all. Furthermore, you have yet to find out your real niche in the game and your own unique playing style, which will greatly affect the way you choose golf clubs once you are a more seasoned player.

The good choice for a beginner is to start with used golf clubs. The main goal is to keep the price down so that you aren’t making a huge investment before you really know what you are doing. Here you will find some tips to follow to help you to hunt down your starter golf clubs.

At this point in time, you should be trying out as many golf clubs as you possibly can. Borrow them from your friends, rent them out from golf club rental stores, and take the clubs down to the driving range. Hit as many balls as it takes to decide whether you want to stick with that particular club when you make the purchase.

If it feels at all uncomfortable or if you keep missing shots that you would normally make, you should probably reconsider your choice and find a different golf club that will work better for you. When you actually go out to buy some used golf clubs, carefully make sure that they are similar to the ones that you have tried in the past. If they are what you need, you’ll notice a huge difference in their quality.

As you search around for used golf clubs to get started with, you should bring along a friend who knows a little more about golf clubs that you do. By enlisting the help of an expert golfer, you can use their knowledge on top of your own personal preferences.

If you are stumped on a certain set of golf clubs and you aren’t sure whether they are worth the money or not, they will be able to help you make up your mind anyways. If you don’t know anyone who has such a high level of expertise, you can take your questions elsewhere.

Find out the specifications of the golf clubs that you are looking at, and discuss them with the pros at the golf shops, or even with golfing communities on the internet. Make sure you get some sound advice from at least a few people before you make the purchase.

Beginners also frequently make the mistake of buying a full set of golf clubs. A full set consists of 14 clubs, and is usually absolutely, 100% unnecessary for someone who is just getting started. Instead, look for something called a half-set. There are certain clubs in a full set that are more difficult for a beginner to control.

This includes the driver most of all, so this is the first one to go when narrowing down the clubs to a half set. Narrowing down your club set to just the most necessary clubs will give you quite a few benefits. It will make it easier to choose the right club when you go to make your stroke, and it will mean a lighter load to carry around all over the golf course.

After hitting from the rough a few times I noticed that on the bottom of a couple of my golf clubs the paint filling was partially scratched off and I can’t seem to find a place that sells the “paint”. I’m sure I can go into any repair shop and have it done, but it doesnt seem like a hard thing to do as long as I have the paint. Anyone know where they’d sell it either retail or online? I’m located in the Bay Area.

Customized golf clubs have a lot of advantages over mass-marketed models. Some of these advantages are purely practical, while others are a bit more whimsical and decorative in nature.

Customized golf clubs can especially be beneficial to golfers who are shorter or taller than the average person. If you use golf clubs that were designed for people that are not close to your height you will have to make an adjustment to your swing and this will not be beneficial to your golf game.

Custom golf clubs may be the answer for the golfer looking to improve his game - at a reasonable price. Custom golf clubs are not just for the professional or highly skilled player. All golfers can benefit greatly from clubs that are fit precisely to the correct specifications of the individual golfer. But, Custom golf clubs are a huge investment, both financially and in your game. You will want to make sure the fitting is correct.

When customizing a set of golf clubs, be sure to check around your local golf accessory stores and perform price comparisons. It is also important that the staff take correct measurements so that your clubs are designed exactly the way you need them to be, and according to your body type.

When having a set of clubs fitted for customization, there are three major areas which goes into a fitting. They are the height, your arm length, and the swing speed. Let’s briefly touch on each below:

The Height

Taller men and women generally have more of an upright swing. If you are tall then the manufacturer will adjust the lie of your clubs.

The lie is determined from the angle that the clubhead extends from its shaft, which is connected like a hinge. This hinge will be closed slightly for taller people, and shortened a bit for golfers that may be on the short side.

The Arm Length

The arm length is an important factor that will determine the length of your shafts. When you are playing golf, you never want to have to crouch down unnaturally when gripping the club, nor is it desirable to choke up on the club either.

The fitting of your grip must feel perfectly natural. The customization process will include measuring the length of your arms, similar to that of a suit tailor. The measurement will be made by your arms against your sides, and the shaft length will be determined by the distance from the tip of your middle finger to the ground.

The Swing Speed

The kind of shafts your clubs will have will depend on your swing speed. Of course everyone has a different swing speed, which can depend on size, age, strength, etc.

Most professional golfers have steel shafts that are specifically designed stiff. They are extremely rigid and have very little flexibility when swung. On the other hand, average golfers are typically best suited to have steel shafts or granite shafts. Flexibility can then be measured by regular, women’s, or senior.

Titanium and other materials, along with innovations in the contact point, have greatly improved distance and accuracy of shots. Once you’ve mastered the basics of the game, custom golf clubs are a great tool to help you improve your performance.

Titanium is a lightweight yet very strong material that is perfect for golf clubs. Sometimes you will find titanium mixed with other materials.

What might look the used golf club bargain deal of the month to you, as it stares out appealingly to you from the golf shop display, might not be all it seems.

One pitfall for buyers of used golf clubs, especially if they are a bit inexperienced, is to be seduced by looks rather than the technical aspects of the clubs. So, it is always important to understand whether they will be suitable for you and your capabilities and style of play.

Because what looks a bargain, may not always be as it seems. It is worth checking for more.

Used Golf Clubs - What’s The Twist Like?

The ‘twist’ in a set of used golf clubs is a measure of how good you will have to be to get the best out of them. How can that be, the clubs are dictating to me that I have to be of a certain standard before I can use them then? Yes, that’s right!

The whip is where there is movement between the grip of the club and the head. By holding the grip in one hand and the head in the other, you can see just how much twist there is in the club. Generally the twist in one club in a set is similar. When you buy a set of used golf clubs, it’s important to check this ‘twist’ effect out.

The more the twist between the head of the club and the shaft (of which you are holding the grip), the greater the possibility there is to hit the ball out of line as the head hits the ball. If there is less twist, then you are more likely to have a better chance to hit the ball straight.

Used Golf Clubs - How Much Whip?

There is yet another thing you need to check on when buying a set of used golf clubs. Some clubs have a built in problem that makes them quite challenging to use.

If you take hold of the grip of the club and waggle it quickly and sharply backwards and forwards, you will be able to see just how much the club head moves differently from the grip end. If there is a lot of ‘whip’, then you can imagine how difficult it can be to control.

Sometimes you might be very interested in a set of used golf clubs, with large heads at the end of the shaft. With these clubs with the heavy head, you might think that will be a benefit. The problem is that these clubs can be more difficult to control and can be quite unforgiving if you are slightly off line.

It’s worth paying attention to this possible variation in the used golf clubs you might be thinking of buying, because, whatever the bargain, if you are not ready yet in terms of your capability, you might find you play even worse than you did with your older, much more controllable clubs.

These cheap golf clubs are made by several manufacturers who practically duplicate the Ping engineering features as part of their manufacturing process. While they do not carry the Ping brand, they certainly have the look and feel of Ping golf clubs. While this may be a relatively new phenomena to the golfing world, this is exactly what the Japanese did to the American automobile industry a few decades ago. How many of you who are reading the article on golf club clones own a Japanese car? While many consider clones golf club knock offs, they still perform like the real thing.As the brand manufacturers keep changing and updating their products, so do the golf club clone companies. In 2007, Ping introduced its new line of Rapture golf clubs. The Ping Rapture series driver combines titanium and carbon fibers to create a driver that is long and quite forgiving off the tee. The club head is weighted and balanced to produce a high launch trajectory with minimal spin.The clone golf club manufacturers were not far behind and soon drivers with the same Ping features were selling online and even in some retail outlets. The same strategy used in the Ping Rapture driver held for Ping woods and Ping irons. Ping has upgraded their Ping G5 series to the Ping G10. Great buys are still available for Ping G5 clones. Purchasing a clone of a just discontinued model allows anyone looking for discount golf equipment to save even more money on the older clone models. This is the ultimate in cheap golf equipment.The ZR1 irons golf club clones are now available from our friends at Pinemeadow. They call their Ping iron clones the ZR1. These irons feature an undercut cavity and multi-tier mass replacement system that balances the club weight in the Ping style. You can design your own club by selecting orientation, shaft, length and flex, grip, lie and even shaft orientation. The attractive club design is a beautiful shot preen finish. This golf club clone is perfect for middle and high handicap golfers.The Ping clone golf club fairway woods and irons also have a low weight distribution for a high launch and maximum distance. There are some differences in the engineering and manufacture of these discount golf knock offs. If not, the clone golf club manufacturers would be spending more time in court than on the clone manufacturing floor. While the design and features are basically the same, the materials differ. While the Ping golf club may be titanium and a carbon composite, the ping clones may just have a titanium head. This difference is much more important to the PGA pro of low handicap golfer than to your average weekend player.Ping also has a line of ladies golf clubs and yes, you can most certainly find ladies golf club clones.
