How To Buy A New Golf Driver

Choosing new golf clubs can be a bit tricky today since there is such a wide range and immense variety available from so many different manufacturers. However, all you have to do is keep in mind some very basic fundamentals about a golf club and what you should look for. And most importantly, you need to look for something that will fit in with your own personal golf game and your particular golf swing.

For example, you may have a tendency to drive all your shots off the tee with a slice. This can become extremely frustrating and, although you can eventually eliminate this with more practice, you still want to be able to enjoy your golf game. The amazing thing is that today there are manufacturers who actually design clubs to offset this flaw. Take a look at the Adams Golf Insight XTD a3OS Driver or the Cleveland HiBore XLS Draw Driver. Club design includes a draw-biased club face combine to eliminate slices. The club can actually compensate for your tendency to slice. Being realistic about your game helps you to choose the proper clubs.

You may be a golfer who has trouble getting difficulty on his shots. You need to determine the reason for this. Swing speed may be your difficulty. Higher swing speed can result in increased distances on your shots. You simply may not have the strength to swing faster or you may be limited by some physical problems. Or you may be just starting out. The average swing speed for a beginner is 65 mph. More experienced and stronger players can get up to 100 mph with tour professionals developing even higher swing speeds. You can either have the local golf shop help you determine your swing speed or you can buy a small radar device that can help you determine it by yourself. Once you know what your swing speed is you can now look to offset that weakness with golf shaft that will work specifically for you. Each shaft has a particular flex or bend. A shaft with a higher flex rating will actually help you to develop more power from your particular swing speed and drive the ball farther. There is a wide range of shaft flexes available for your particular circumstances. Keep in mind that a shaft that is too flexible for your particular swing can actually give you a difficulty in your accuracy. Since the club head has to be square to impact for an accurate shot, if your shaft is too flexible the clubface can be all over the place instead of square.

Also keep in mind that clubs that are too long or too short will have a tendency to hinder your capability of being able to rotate in your swing causing you to improperly transfer your weight. You end up topping the ball or hitting the ground too soon depending on whether the shaft length is too short or too long for you. Standard club length for a driver is 44.0 inches in the steel club and 44.5 inches in a graphite club. A standard length for women is 43.0 inches and 43.5 inches respectively. There are charts that will show you the needed club length for your particular height and wrist to floor measurement. Someone who is 5 foot tall with the rest of floor measurement of 40.0 inches would require a club that is 2.25 inches longer than standard. A golfer whose 6'9" tall with the rest of floor measurement of 28.5 inches would require a club that is 1.5 inches shorter than standard. Again, ehen you buy a club make sure you have the proper length of shaft for your own particular circumstances.

Also keep in mind that a larger clubhead can mean a larger sweet spot. A golfer with an inconsistent swing will find this type of club much more forgiving and less likely to lead to bad shots. Those who have a much more consistent swing when hitting the ball "on the money" can benefit from a smaller club head that allows them to have more control. More controlling your shot means you can shape it anyway you want. Once again, the factors are extremely personal.

When choosing new golf clubs always keep your own personal circumstances in mind. It might be fine to ask your friends to recommend a good golf club but it may be a model that works for them and will only create more problems for you. Analyze each factor of your swing as well as your own personal physical attributes. In doing so will result in full satisfaction when you buy a golf club and it will show up with better shots than next time you play golf with your new clubs.
