When you take up a new sport you have a high degree of initial enthusiasm and often you are tempted to rush out and get the best equipment and golf is no exception, but what equipment or type of golf clubs does a new golfer really need.

Sadly, you won’t find too many books give a new golfer information and what kind of golf equipment is best for them. The golfer is left at the mercy of the golf pro-shop salesmen to help him, which can prove to be no help at all.

Big, brand name sports equipment manufacturers spend a lot of money on advertising in order to persuade the unknowing customer that they have the best clubs and balls and equipment for you.

They get your favorite sports stars to endorse their products making them look like an even more lucrative bargain. However, every one is not a Tiger Woods and will not require the kind of equipment he uses from day one of learning to golf.

If you are new to golfing, using a Tiger Woods golf club will only make it harder on you because it was made for a professional, not someone who is just learning and only needs basic golf equipment or golf balls for example.

Golf clubs are going to be your most expensive purchase and therefore you should spend a lot of time researching on a set of clubs which will work best for you. It is advisable to not go by brands but what works for you, as they will affect the way you play golf.

Golf clubs are primarily made of Graphite and Steel. There are alternative materials too, like carbon fiber and titanium and composite alloys, but it is best to stick to the tried and trusted steel and graphite.

They also have a far lower level of twisting, but do not have the same effective range as graphite shafted golf clubs. You will require more power and a faster swing to make your golf balls go an extra distance.

Graphite shafted clubs are far more expensive and they are not as durable or robust as steel shafted golf clubs. They also generate large power levels, and are therefore effective as driver clubs.

Picking the right shaft flex or level of stiffness for the club is also important to a beginner golfer. Professional golfers usually use a high level of stiffness so that high swing speeds can be generated. This means more power from a stiff flex.

Now that you are able to see beyond the advertising and endorsements and understand that it is about personal styles, you are in a far better position to make a sensible purchasing decision when you buy your next set of golf clubs or any other golf equipment for that matter.
