Golf Instruction - Tips - Equipment
A highly skilled player
could go out and shoot a very good score with just about any set
of golf clubs. They have enough feel and experience to make adjustments
and adapt to the performance differences between clubs quickly. For a
middle to high handicap player, however, having equipment that is
properly fitted to their physique and capabilities is more crucial.
No matter what your
handicap or skill level, having the right clubs is one more thing you
can do to give yourself the best possible chance of playing well.
There are many different
variables in club fitting (swing weight, club length, grip size, grip
material, shaft flex, shaft material, loft and lie, club head style,
club head material, and so on). The two most important of these are:
lie angle (the angle between the shaft and
sole plate)
and
shaft flex (the relative stiffness or softness of the shaft).
If you're serious it's also
important to have the frequency of your shafts consistent throughout
your set. Good club makers will have no problem fitting you for these
variables.
Of course, there's no
substitute for liking the look and feel of your equipment.
