What is your golf club preference??

Question

Still trying to figure out how to buy my hubby golf clubs w/o his knowledge and I need to know what is a good brand. I found a lot about Callaway, Clevland and Ping. Are all these good?

Answer 1

Golfers are a very picky lot that are very particular about their brands and models of balls and clubs.

Callaway, Taylor Made, Nike, Titleist, Cleveland, Ping, Adams, Top Flite are all good names but even within those name brands are steel vs graphite shaft, degrees of loft for each individual club, regular flex vs stiff/firm flex shaft, cavity back vs blade irons, steel vs titanium... way too many choices.

My suggestion is to give him a gift certificate at a golf shop ($500 would be a good amount) and if the shop sells one of those coupon books for reduced green fees for area golf courses.

Answer 2

There alot of variables involved here , steel or graphite shaft , regular or stiff shaft what handicap is your hubby , you dont want to buy him oversized heads if he is a good player because those are considered "Game Improvement" clubs for your average to poor player and a must when you buy a good set of clubs is to get fitted , is it the right club length or lie angle for his swing the majority of people now settle for clubs off the shelf and wonder why they dont get any better or do want to improve , well if they were club fitted first they would be ahead of the game , I know I have thrown alot out at you but what i'm trying to say is this , good golf clubs if he is serious about his game are an investment and should be treated as such and to get the right clubs that are suited for your style of play makes golf that much more enjoyable , getting him a gift certificate from a golf retailer is a good idea prices range from 200-300 for a entry level set 300-500 for a alright quality but if you really want him to have state of the art equipment and have him fitted also thats going to run at least 600-999 for a set of irons . good luck.

If he is new to golf get a cheap set for a couple hundred. If he is already a golfer he might want to pick out his own clubs. All those brands are fine. Just don't buy a set of clubs that includes a putter, that's always a sign of crappy clubs

Answer 4

Depends on how good a golfer he is. You need to ask his buddies that. How often does he play? Based on that get him a gift certificate. A set can run anywhere from $150 (beginner) to $1500 (real good ones- that is not including the woods). Otherwise just get him a driver ($500 approx).

Gift certificate is the way to go. Many places do club fitting. He can choose his own brand.

Answer 5

Cleveland, Callaway & Ping are all good. Of those three, I recommend Callaway. The "Fusion" woods and irons are outstanding!

I would highly recommend the new TaylorMade woods and hybrids and especially the R7 CGB Max Irons.

Answer 6

Sure, they're all good. Plus, the golf magazines have annual buyer's guides.

But there's a lot of personal preference, and what he wants also depends on how he plays.

Why not call his golf buddies and get tips? They talk about clubs all the time, I guarantee.

Answer 7

its not always wise to buy the golf clubs for someone else, as one set of clubs may suit one player, but not the next. best thing to do is to get him a gift voucher and then he can go and try out several sets himself, he would appreciate that more. worst thing would be to buy him calloway which may be nice, but he may find them awful to use

Answer 8

They are all good. My preference is Titleist. I played with callaway for years but the titleist seem to be easier to hit in my opinion. Good luck.

Answer 9

Ping eye 2s ....he would flip!
