Are Your Used Golf Club Fit For You

Opinion on Buying Used Golf Clubs (II)

 

After reading the last article(Opinion on Buying Used Golf Clubs (I)),you may ask: what's wrong with used golf clubs?

 

Well nothing...maybe. If the used clubs you find are right for your game and fit for your body size and swing speed and swing type, you just might get lucky. But what if they're not? What if the golf irons are too long, too short, too stiff, too flexible? What if the grips are not the right size and the driver loft is not enough for your swing speed? What if the lie of the clubs will make you tend to hit the ball to the left or right?

 

In my opinion, getting the right golf clubs for you requires some fitting. What kind of golf clubs are "Fitting". For example, you got a set of taylormade r9 irons that are adjusted for your height, swing speed, hand size, and typical ball flight, this means the irons are fitting for you. Without clubs that have been adjusted you might just be throwing away your money.

 

You also want to make sure that your clubs have the right head type for your game. That means if you are a beginner, a woman, or just someone who doesn't play very much, you want forgiving clubs with heads that have game improvement features like maximum perimeter weighting, hosel offset, a wide sole and thick topline. These features help make shots more consistent with greater height and distance...especially if you don't hit your taylormade burner golf ball with the center of the clubface.
