Picking Out Clubs For Beginners

10:18 pm May 24, 2009

A. Clubs

Now that all the basics have been covered, you should be able to go
out and practice all of the points made. Stick with the basics taught
above before moving on to advanced swing techniques.

But what about clubs?

All golf clubs vary in multiple ways. This includes how much loft a
club gives the ball, the lie angle, and the club length. Your driver is
the longest club. It provides the least amount for loft as well as the
flattest swing plane.

The shortest club you have is the sand wedge, which provides the
highest amount of loft and a very steep swing plane.

Neither one of these clubs are recommended for beginners. It is
never smart to use the longest or shortest clubs because the swing
conditions they create are unique in conjunction with the clubs’ size
and build.

B. The Best Club To Get Started With
Although beginners can use any club that they would like, we highly
recommend the 7-iron for those players who are a little sketchy on
the basics and are still practicing their golf swing.

This club is right up the middle in terms of length and action output.

It is also much easier to control than other clubs, especially the
driver.

Due to the 7-iron’s average swing plane and the perfect amount of
loft, it makes an ideal golf club to learn a swing for standard shots.

Some beginner golfers use other clubs that do not produce the best
results during this part of their “learning curve” (I’m talking about
your education learning curve, not any golf terminology).

For example, if you practice with a wedge, the ball will have a lot of
backspin on it due to the high loft action output of the club. This can
lead to poor golf shots that result in “hooks” or “slices.” You’ll never
be able to pinpoint any problems in your swing if you use these
clubs for practice. At least at first.

The 7-iron is great because you will easily be able to tell if the ball is
slicing, hooking, or actually going straight. Because the 7-iron is
easy to use, your confidence level in making your shots will rise
quickly and you will be able to advance more rapidly.
