Golf Tips Of How To Determining The Type Of Club

Various shafts and club head compositions and designs make it possible to select the right combination to suit every individual's golf game. Before going to a local golf shop or shopping in an online golf shop, whatever, you should determing the type of clubs and the materials that they are made of before you choose them.

The Shaft
 

Materials
 

Golf club shafts now primarily come in 2 materials, steel and graphite
 

Steel shafts

1. Stronger, more durable and generally less expensive
2. Offer greater consistency from shaft to shaft
3. More control on shots, but requires a faster swing speed to generate the same distance as graphite
4. Recommended for stronger players who could use a little extra control in their game
 

Graphite
 

1. Generally lighter than steel and can be made in many more variations
2. Graphite is generally more expensive than steel and less durable
3. The lighter shaft allows greater swing speed for more power, but it sacrifices control
4. Graphite absorbs shock in a swing
 

Flex
 

Flex refers to the amount of "bend" in a shaft
 

Your shaft flex needs to match with the speed of your golf swing
 

1. Beginners and players with less powerful swings will benefit from a more flexible shaft
2. An average player has a swing speed of 75-90 mph, and should look for a regular shaft
3. Players with powerful swings - in the 90 -110 mph range - should purchase a stiff or firm shaft. This will provide a stiffer club for more control.
4. Many shafts are now available in a uniflex that will fit most any golfer's swing

The Club Head

Woods
 

Standard
 

1. Better control but a smaller sweet spot
2. About 150-155 cubic centimeters
 

Midsize
 

Positioned between standard and oversized
About 195 cubic centimeters
Different club head materials allow for a combination of benefits with a medium-sized sweet spot and lighter weight than an oversized head
 

Oversized

1. The largest club head size, up to 250 cubic centimeters
2. Offers the largest sweet spot of any head size, and is the most forgiving on mishits
 

Wood materials

Stainless steel
 

1. Less expensive, but slightly heavier than the more modern titanium and other alloys
2. The slightly smaller head gives a more traditional look and feel to the club
 

Titanium
 

1. Lighter weight allows for the creation of even larger club heads
2. Larger sweet spot

 

Finally, don't choosing a golf club only because it has a nice grip. Keep it in mind when choosing clubs in a golf shop that whether those clubs are expensive and quality or cheap, the grips are only pieces of cheap rubber.
