It can be tricky choosing a new golf club, so why not take a look at some of our pointers below

Whether you are new to the game of golf or a seasoned pro, buying clubs can be a minefield. Golf has grown ever more popular and there is a whole array of equipment to choose from both on the internet and from specialist golf shops. Choosing golf clubs can be one of the most tedious jobs for a golfer, as it can be a laborious task, but it is essential for good play.

• In golf a person can use 14 different types of clubs. Therefore, to gather an effective set of golf clubs, you must primarily acquire an essential knowledge about the different types and specialties of each type of club

• Clubs are generally available in different types namely – woods, irons, wedges, bennets, hybrids and putters. Each club has unique characteristic type of ball movement. The unique combination of the different types of clubs will make a perfect set of golf clubs. The type of club to be used, has to be decided based on various reasons, such as your proficiency in the game and physical characteristics, since a club is not used alike by a beginner and professional. If you are a beginner, learning to play strokes, you could include the hybrid type of clubs, which will make the stroke much easier

• Approach a new golf club with caution. Just because the brand has been heavily advertised does not necessarily mean it is the best. If a golf club is expensive, it has to be for a reason. Is it just because a lot of money has been spent on the advertising of it, or is it actually technically better?

• Shop around ? pick out a club you like the look of and practice a few swings. Check to see whether it is the right weight and length for you. Does the grip hug your palms?

• If you’re thinking of taking the sport more seriously you could look into the possibility of getting some clubs made especially for you. That way you can make sure they fit perfectly. Most golf club sets off the rack are designed to fit the average person, but few of us have an average profile; we all have our own unique shape and size

• Not all golf clubs have top be expensive. If they are, you need to ask yourself whether your level at the game and the frequency you play it warrants paying a large amount of money for them. If you are a beginner, learning to play strokes, you can include the hybrid type of clubs, which will make the stroke much easier
