Which Type of Club Shaft Best Suits Your Game?\nShould you go with steel shafts or graphite shafts? What are the differences between the two? Is one type of shaft better for you than another?\n\nThese are questions that many newcomers to golf - and even many golfers who have played for years - have in mind when they go shopping for a new set of clubs.\n\nIn the "old days," the general feeling was that recreational golfers, mid- and high-handicappers, should use graphite, while the better players, low-handicappers, would stick with steel. That's not necessarily true anymore, however. Even PGA Tour golfers can be seen using graphite shafts. In 2004, Tiger Woods switched from a steel shaft to a graphite shaft in his driver (most pros made that switch even earlier).\n\nAs with every type of golf equipment, the key is to try out both kinds and determine which type best fits your swing. \n\nBut there are differences between steel and graphite that could help you choose one over the other.\nSome Keypoints\n• Steel shafts are less expensive than graphite, so the same set of clubs will cost less with steel shafts than with graphite shafts.\n\n• Steel shafts were once considered much more durable than graphite. That's not so much the case anymore. Quality graphite shafts will last as long as you do so long as they are not chipped, cracked, or the laminate-seal is not peeling. Steel shafts will last forever so long as they are not bent, rusted or pitted.\n\n• Graphite shafts transmit fewer vibrations up the shaft to the golfer's hands than do steel shafts. This might be good or bad, depending on your skill and your desire. You might want that added feedback that steel shafts offer - or you might be tired of your hands stinging so much on mis-hit shots.\n\nThe Most Important Point\nThe biggest and by far most important difference between steel and graphite shafts is this: graphite shafts are lighter than steel shafts. So clubs that have graphite shafts will be lighter than otherwise identical clubs that have steel shafts.\n\nAccording to clubmaking and equipment guru Tom Wishon, the difference in weight between graphite shafts and steel shafts will translate, for most golfers, into an additional 2-4 mph of swing speed with graphite. And that could mean an extra 6-12 yards of distance with a graphite shaft, compared to a steel shaft.\n\nThat's why, in the everpresent quest for more yards, more and more golfers prefer graphite shafts.\n\nWhat It All Means\nYou probably want more yards, too. So it's obvious: You should choose graphite shafts, right? Probably, but not necessarily.\n\nAs we said, the majority of golfers these days are going to graphite, at least in their woods, but steel shafts maintain a very strong presence in golf, especially among low-handicappers and scratch players.\n\nIn many cases, those are golfers who don't need the extra boost of swing speed that graphite shafts can provide. Players who prefer steel shafts often make that choice because their heavier weight provides the golfer with a feeling of more control over the clubhead during the swing. And these are players who can analyze and benefit from the added feedback (more vibrations traveling up the shaft) that steel provides.\n\nWe'll quote Tom Wishon: "If gaining more distance is a primary goal for the golfer, they should definitely be fit with the proper graphite shaft design in their woods and irons to match their swing. On the other hand, if distance is not the main focus for the golfer because they already have a high swing speed, if they like the feel of steel and their swing tempo matches a little better to the higher total weight steel shafts bring to the clubs, then steel is the better option."\n\nAnd we'll add that anyone who is not physically strong, or has physical problems in their hands, forearms or shoulders that are exacerbated by the bad vibes of a mis-hit shot, should go with graphite.\n\n\n

Yea, by pure luck! I'm not a golfer and couldn't tell you what club. I do use the Happy Gilmore swing. People laugh at me but that's how I got my hole in one! Good luck!

If you have no budgetary limits, you have many, many options. I would recommend the Ping G5's (if you can stand their looks) or the Mizuno Mx-900s. These are both extremely forgiving clubs that are geared toward the beginner. Expect to spend close to a thousand bucks, though.\n\nFor those on a budget, the Adams Idea OS set for men is probably the best product on the market. They are very forgiving clubs that are very good quality for a good price. The set includes wood-like hybrids for the 3 and 4 irons, iron-like hybrids for the 5 and 6 irons, and regular cavity backs for your 7-PW irons. This set can be found on eBay for $369 or mid-$400's retail.\n\nIf you are just trying out golf experimentally, then buy a set of used clubs. Make sure they have cavity backs though, because used or not, you want the most forgiving clubs as a beginner.\n\nFinally, if you are a woman, look at the Callaway GES.  This set comes with 3 irons, 3 woods, a putter, and a pretty nice, lightweight golf bag. The entire set can be had for about $200-$300. It is also available on eBay. This complete set is super-forgiving and is probably the best option for a beginning female golfer.\n\nI'm not sure of your gender or what kind of budget you have, but the above selections should cover all the bases.\n\nHope this is helpful!

I've never played it, but I know someone who did, and we were talking about it while watching.\n\nMe: What club did you hit?\nHim: I hit my 8 iron...all five times.\n\nApparently, there used to be no fringe, just straight green, meaning you wanted to avoid roll as much as possible.

umm are we supposed to guess or are you asking for recommendations.  I have Wilson Fat shafts, and a big bertha 12 degree driver and a NIke hybrid club.  read up on clubs on the internet and try some.  most golf courses you can rent or try things.  and if you dont golf yet buy a semi-cheap set and take lessons and you can always buy better clubs once you learn how you play and what you like.

I would say 9 clubs to start with - only tricky bit is the half club isn't mentioned in the second section so don't know whether that has to be counted in overall total.

Whatever you're comfortable with. There are cavity back irons, muscleback irons or combo irons. Since you're a beginner, cavity backs would be most wise for you. musclebacks are more for experienced players and combo irons are good for mid to low handicappers. You'll want to stay away from long irons and replace them with hybrid clubs instead. easier to hit and more versatile than regular irons. Probably forget a driver and stick with a 3 and 5 wood instead which will help your confidence a little. You'll probably be able to hit your 3 wood further than your driver if you notice. As far as brands go, cheap route would be to get a starter set from any sporting goods store or walmart or kmart. They're cheap and usually come with all the clubs you'll need to get started. from there you'll be able to see which ones you hate the most and which you like the best. If you're into brand name then I would either go with Callaway or Taylor Made. Each offer unique clubs both regular and hybrid that would make your game a little easier. But for now, i'd either get a starter set or a nice used set from 2nd Swing, Play It Again Sports or Hit 'Em Again.

That's a very good question.  The answer to that question would depend on the golfer you ask.  I personally believe it is the putter, but that's just me.  If it was your husband who said he needed a new sand wedge then he would know.  As far as a more important club, that would depend on your husband's skill with the rest of the clubs in his bag.  If this is a gift you might be able to get a golfing buddy to casually ask what your husband considers to be his most important club, and go with that, if not the best way would be to ask him straight out.  I know I would like it if my wife were to ask me to go with her to get a club for me, but that's just me. LOL!  At any rate good luck with your purchase.

"YOUR" club will depend on your skill level, height, speed of swing, and preferred type of golf ball.\n\nIf you improve, and your swing changes, then you have to start all over again.  This is the premise behind the PING clubs.  It will never become perfected as everyone will blame their clubs, balls, or something.\n\nIgnore reviews.  It is like asking what type of aluminum can do you prefer(ignoring contents).  Whatever works for you is best! \n\nYou MUST TRY THEM OUT FIRST though.  Variations in shaft material will alter dpending on your swing strength etc.  \n\nREMEMBER, it is ONLY MARKETING, and therefore Dollars $$$$$$$$.  If you could buy the "right set" for $1,000,000, you'd be a billionaire in a week.  Some like Pepsi....others swear on Coke.  \n\nYOU MUST CHOOSE !

well I just picked up a Ben hogan set of woods and I really like them.  I hope you have a store you can go to and hit the clubs before you buy them.  I went in to get a much more expensive Nike set but after hitting both I liked the ones I got alot better and saved some cash!

There's no such thing as "perfect" golf club specs....everyone has their own swing and style of hitting the ball....which leads to many different set make ups....\n\nWhat works for me most likely will not work for you as well...
