Is anyone a golfer?

Question

I want to buy clubs and dont know which ones. Can anyone tell me the best ones I can purchase (female ones) that can last a longtime. Please include the irons and the drivers I should have to complete one set.

Answer 1

A lot of people out there suggest knock-offs but don't agree. A knock-off is a fake set made mimicking a set of real clubs. However, these fake sets don't have the exact knowledge that a Nike or Callaway has by doing all the testing and lab work they have done. They also don't use the same materials and therefore, the fake sets can die much quicker. I have always been a fan of Callways. I'm assuming you're a beginner by your question so I would suggest looking for a set of used, but still in good condition, iron sets through eBay. Look for Callaway X series as far as iron sets go. X-14, X-14 pro, X-16, X-16, or X-18 or Callways Big Berthas are all great sets. The X-14's are older and the X-18's are the newest. These clubs are made very well and of the best materials, they also have large club faces which is good for a novice golfer. As for a driver set, what I did there was I went to a local Play it Again Sports. Play it Again is used sporting goods store where you can get quality products at a very cheap rate. Once again, you being a novice, I would suggest a steel shaft(graphites flex a lot and can cause a swing to go badly quickly), and also go with a high loft, say 12 degrees or so as opposed to 9 degrees. I got my set of irons through eBay for $300 or so and they are exactly what I was looking for. I bought a Driver and 4+W from Play it Again for maybe $75.

Lastly, try a Hybrid. A hybrid is a club that is supposed to hit like an iron(Angle-wise) but has a club face like a wood. They are awesome, but they are a somewhat new concept and you will only be able to get them brand new unless you go through eBay.

Forget the brand names!!! Any clubs u buy should last long enough until u outgrow them. I got a set of cheap no-name clubs @ 7 yrs ago and I didnt actually pick them up and play with them until April 06. Since then I have been playing the same clubs and I am now finding that I am too strong for them and I need to up-grade them to a set of mens regulars. For a beginner however...forget longer irons cos u may not be able to hit them. Instead...use a hybrid to eliminate your 3 & 4 iron and purchase irons from 5 - pw. Try using a 3 wood as your driver ( until u master it) then up-grade to a driver when u can. Just remember..it doesnt matter gow much money u spend...it's how u use what u have got. Good luck & Good golfing.

A golf club is good if the shaft fits your swing. Get graphite shafts. They are made very well now, and it is mostly for the weight of them that you should buy them. Steel shafts can be too heavy and even a few grams can make a difference. Try swinging a sledge hammer than a thin metal broom handle. Which one do you swing faster? Speed=Distance

As for what brand? It's personal preference. I have Ping woods, Titleist Irons, Calaway Wedges and a Nike hybrid. I've hit every club there is. Don't restrict yourself to one brand. Go to your local course and find out when they are having a Demo Day. The companies come and let you test their clubs with different shafts, lie angles, etc.

Spend as much time as you need to make all of the right decisions, especially since you say you want to keep these for a long time.

Answer 4

Just go to a Golf USA, MC sports, or local sporting good store and tell them you want Female Golf Clubs and they will point them to you and test them out. 9 iron, 8 iron, 7 iron, 6 iron, 5 iron, 4 iron, 3 iron, 1 Wood, 3 Wood, 5 Wood. IF set includes hybrids hybrids will take place of 5 iron, 4 iron, and 3 iron. Set might also include 7 Wood. And don't forget a putter

Answer 5

You should go to your golf club pro or a golf shoppe and have your clubs fitted for you. They will take your height, arm lenght, and other things into consideration. If you want a good set of clubs that will last you a long time do not get a knock off brand. Try several different brands and you decide which fells best for you. Try Ping or Calloway as they make very good golf clubs. I would suggest tat you take lessons from a club pro and you develop good habits early. try out a few hybrid's also you will be surprised. Good Luck !

Answer 6

If you serious about taking up the game, you'll need clubs that are good enough for many years. I'll recommend getting PING clubs. They sell the full range. Get them custom fitted by a certified PING custom fitter. Custom fitting is like building the club to suite your body structure and skill level. The great thing about PING is that you can get the clubs modified again when either your game improve or if your body structure change. It's clubs you can use a life time.

Answer 7

Pretty Much what everyone is saying is true. A skilled pro should fit you. If you happen to live in the CT area come to the Great Brook Golf Center in Groton, CT. We have a very knowledgeable staff that can help you find what your looking for.

Answer 8

The selection of Golf Clubs should only be done in consultation with the shop pro or club pro depending on where you are buying your set.

Answer 9

You can get a beginner set of Wilsons for pretty good. They're a pretty decent beginner set of clubs and can take a pounding from bad play. If you can spring for graphites, I'd recommend them.

Answer 10

i would say go to a pro shop and get fitted for clubs due to the fact of your height, arm lenght and other things that need to be measured to insure proper fitting. then look at your budget and get the best equipment you can easily afford. leave room in your budget to play golf and get a club pro to give you starter lessons to avoid bad habits because once you start them it is real hard to correct them. have fun and may birdies find your score card
