    How to Buy a Golf Club - part 1

    A golfer is only as good as his next swing. That’s the thing with golf. And that’s probably what makes this game so addictive. Because you can’t always replicate your swing, the only thing you can control when you play is your attitude towards the game and the kind of equipment you have.

    One of the most important items that almost every golfer obsesses about is the golf club. So many things depend on the specific golf club to use that all golfers who are worth their salt take shopping for a new golf club very seriously.

    But the golf industry is so swamped with various sizes and shapes of golf clubs it is difficult to choose the right one for your game. How do you know which golf club to buy? And how do you know if it would really help improve your game?

    Many golf equipment manufacturers and companies these days are claiming that it’s all in the club head, that the way to improve your game is to get a golf club with a head design that’s perfect for your kind of play. But the head is not the only factor!

    When you buy a new golf club, there are several considerations and only in making the right decision will you have the opportunity to improve your game.



    The Price Myth

    It is a common enough myth that anything more expensive than the rest automatically means that it’s better. But smart shoppers have long since debunked this myth. Many people today are spending less money on equipment and more time on the course.

    You want to play better? Spend more time practicing than shopping for high priced golf clubs that don’t even guarantee an improved game no matter what sort of marketing hype the makers are stirring.

    Just think about it. Are drivers really worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? Are iron sets worth three grand? If your club cost you $800, are you playing great? Chances are no, they are not worth it and your game is pretty much the same.

    Paying high prices for a golf club will not lower your handicap. However, if you choose your club well, even if it’s a cheap one, your chances of improving your handicap scores are better.

    Then, once you have achieved a decent level of play, that’s the time to go for custom-fitting. And even then you should always go for value than for show. After all, that is what golf is about. It is an awkward set of bodily contortions and yet they produce such a graceful result. Your golf club may be inexpensive but once you perfect your swing, all eyes would be on you, not on your club.
