Choose A Golf Club That Suit You

The choice of golf clubs is vital. It doesn't mean you need to buy costly equipment; having clubs set that suit your strength, height and game are enough. Washing golf clubs is also important for your game. Most of the players can use clubs of a standard length. Height varies a lot. Most people's hands hang at about same distance off the ground. If a man is 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, he can use standard length clubs. This is also applicable for women from 5 feet to 5 feet 5 inches.

Often tall players will have difficulty with too short clubs, especially through shorter irons.

Usually, the set of irons should be graduated by half an inch between each one. For a tall player, graduating the clubs by half an inch from six iron through wedges overcomes any difficulties.

If a player is short in height, hold his hands low at the address or have clubs set up incorrectly where the club's toe is off the ground at address. However, the shot is pulled or drawn. In short, the club is too upright. Often this is not a problem for the club player and may help him eliminate any tendency he has to slice.

Buy clubs with the correct thickness of the grip, and use a grip in which the left hand's fingers barely touch the left thumbpad without digging in. Keep grips in good condition by washing them regularly with warm water. And make sure they are put back on straight, with any line down the front of the grip perfectly square to the clubface.

If you buy a new set of clubs with poorly fitted grips, ask your professional to change them. The grip on a club is not round, but egg-shaped. So if they are not set on correctly, you will find it difficult to hold the clubface square and return it squarely to the ball.
