How to choose the right golf club for you
After playing golf for so long, I found that many people had stepped on the pit when they first started selecting clubs. He could either follow the trend and buy a whole set of big-name brands or just listen to others. It wasn’t until he got the result that he realized that he was either too weak to swing the bat or too inaccurate in hitting the ball. But the more he played, the less confident he became.
In fact, choosing a golf club does not need to pursue expensive and high-end ones. The core is to “fit your own hands”. Combining your own playing level and physical condition to choose is better than anything else. Today, I will talk to you about the real selection method, and even novices can understand it.
First of all, you must recognize your level of ball skills, and don’t just start leaning on the professional model. The most taboo for novices is to buy a club with a small head and low fault tolerance before the movement is set. Slightly deviated, he flew out. The more he fought, the more he was defeated.
Our novice swing rhythm is slow and the force is not coordinated, so we chose the entry model with a large club head and a sweet point width. Even if there is a slight deviation in the batting posture, it can reduce errors and it is less likely to hit an out-of-bounds ball and lose the game. Moreover, the beginner-level clubs are mostly made of soft materials, so there is no need to exert too much force when swinging. You can gradually find the swing feeling.
After you played for a while,
your movements stabilized. Replace it with a moderately fault-tolerant club that takes into account both distance and accuracy. If it can operate stably, then consider adopting a compact head design. And pursue the professional style of precise ball control.
Then there is the material and hardness of the shaft, which directly affects the feel of your swing and the distance you hit the ball, don’t blindly choose. Common are steel shafts and carbon shafts, which are very different.
The steel shaft is focused and stable, and the feedback is particularly clear when hitting the ball, which is suitable for those with solid strength and fast swing speed. Especially when hitting the iron and digging the pole, the accuracy is higher.
But if you don’t have enough power, such as a novice, a girl, or an older enthusiast. Just choose the carbon shaft, it is much lighter, and it is easy to speed up when swinging. Moreover, the shock absorption effect is good, and the wrist and arm will not be so sour after playing for a long time, which can reduce the impact force.
In addition, the hardness of the shaft must match your own swing speed. If it is too hard, you will not be able to move at all. The shaft is too soft and easy to run off, so it feels good to follow your own strength.
There is also the angle of the head and the length of the shaft, which must be adapted to your height and size, otherwise the movement is easy to deform. For people who are taller, choose a slightly longer club. When you stand and swing, your body can stretch out without bending over. If you are short or small, the shaft will not twist if it is too long. Bend over and swing, not only tired, but also inaccurate, choose a shorter custom model will be more suitable.
In addition,
different clubs are used for different purposes. The No. 1 wood is used for kickoff and long-distance play. The iron rod is suitable for short- and medium-distance attacks. The putter is specially used on the green, so you do not have to buy the same set. According to the distance of the holes you often play, it is enough to match these cores. There is also a grip. The thickness should be moderate. If you hold it in your hand, you will not slip or shake your hand, and you can only grasp it steadily when you swing.
Last reminder, don’t blindly follow the trend, combine your usage scenarios and budget. Don’t buy a full set of high-end clubs if it’s just an occasional casual break. It is equipped with the three key components of top-quality clubs. The 1-wood, 7-iron and putter. They offer excellent value for money and are fully sufficient for use.
If you practice regularly, you want to improve your game skills systematically. Gradually add the storage tank rods and the stirring rods. It is best to perform the operation in an offline state, by gently waving your hand to feel its weight and texture. This method is much more reliable than simply checking the online parameters.
In fact, choosing a golf club is just like finding a partner, only you know if it is compatible.No need to pursue high-end configurations, based on your level, strength and playing needs.
Choose one that feels comfortable, smooth, and slowly run in, so that the more fun you play, the more you can gradually improve your ball skills.
