Golf Equipment For Beginners

When it comes to learning about golf, golf equipment, is a subject sometimes greatly overlooked or something that we spend too much time on.

There are of course those lengthy books on how to perfect your golf swing, practicing tips for better consistency, and how to train to be a better golfer and you will of course find some of the best known sports stars endorsing some great products making them even more desirable to you and anyone who wants a lower golf score.

However not ever golfer is a pro so not everyone will need the same equipment that the pros use especially if the golfer is just beginning to learn how to play golf.

At the outset it is actually a good idea to not spend too much money on your first set of golf clubs for a couple of reasons. Number 1 is a good number of beginning golfers actually actually break a few clubs during their first few rounds of play. And number 2 you'll have to play a few rounds before you figure out your swing and truy know what kind of clubs will complement your swing. So better to save some money now and invest later in a quality set of clubs. A great idea for someone new to golf is also used golf clubs because they give you get quality golf clubs at a low price.

Golf clubs are usually made of steel and graphite. However, some are made of carbon fiber and titanium and composite alloys. For someone new to golf it is best to stick to steel and graphite clubs.

Clubs that have steel shafts are much more durable than carbon fibre or graphite clubs. They are much stronger but are heavier to carry and use. Steel shafted clubs are said to have much more accuracy and control compared to graphite ones.

With steel shafted golf clubs you will have to use more power and a quicker swing to make the golf ball go the distance you need it to. These work best for beginners because they help to develop accuracy and control from the start.
