I have been playing golf for about 3 years now and I have regressed. I cannot hit my irons at all. I either hit it fat or shank really bad. I have contemplated going to Golf-Tec, or my local golf course to seek a professional. I have also thought about individual teachers and online. Lastly I thought about buying videos. Any thoughts?

Picking up suitable golf clubs is significant in the sport of golf. Quite many things are considered when golf clubs are purchased. It is essential to know at the outset about the Golf clubs you would need. Every set comprises a sum of 14 clubs. They are classified in putters, woods and irons. Your essential goal should be purchasing a golf club suiting your swinging style as making a mistake here would disrupt your game.

An important aspect to determine the quality and the movement of the club swing is by knowing the swing weight of the golf club. There are many ways deciding upon the weight of clubs you would be comfortable with. Lighter the gold clubs, faster is the swing whereas, heavier the golf clubs, more is the momentum in playing.

Golf Clubs- Wood

This is one of the types of Golf Clubs used. Unlike the name, the heads are not developed out of wood. Hollow metals such as steel or titanium are used for structuring these clubs. More distance is covered in each stroke when played with woods. Among 14 clubs in any standard set, Woods account for less than 50%. Woods are used in case of real large distances and also their accuracy level is much lower compared to that of irons. One requires hitting the ball many times with wood to get an idea about the exact distance it will cover when stroked. Woods are undoubtedly the longest Golf clubs in the set.

Golf Clubs- Iron

Next come Iron Golf Clubs which are commonly used all through the game. Golfing work which is distance-specific and where distance is gauged by size and weight of the head uses irons. These are quite often made use of, and are common in the fields of golf. These clubs are very versatile making up many clubs in your golf bag. They can target distances, however not as much as Woods, though. Based on the kind of iron club you use, you can try getting the ball closer. Irons assist in getting the ball off an obstacle or popping it up a sand trap.

Golf Clubs- Putter

The third variety is Putter. Every Golf kit would consist one of this Club variety. These are used towards the end or especially on the part of greens which require real accuracy. Strokes where the level of accuracy is high, or shorter swings, putters are used. They help in obtaining highest accuracy when compared to other available clubs. These clubs don’t target farther distances and balls stroked with them are never meant to fly high up in the air. They are handled delicately for gentle swings. Putting is a significant aspect in the Golf game and hence it is recommended to involve one decent putter among your clubs.

When a total Golf club collection is desired, you would have to buy one of each variety. These three clubs are fundamentals for the sport. If you are in a habit of going for faster swings, then a lighter golf club would be an ideal choice as swings become forceful. On the other hand if you plan to hit a less forceful shot, heavier golf clubs become wise alternatives as it would add the extra momentum. As you achieve the hang of Golf, you can try shots with iron and wood clubs. Till then, as a novice, any Swings could be implemented.
