Many of the most expensive clubs use very strong and thin steel combined with titanium or sometimes tungsten. And not only are these metals more expensive but the accompanying manufacturing processes necessary to turn them into working golf clubs are inevitably more complex and therefore costly. The material used in golf shafts also makes a difference with graphite shafts typically being more expensive than standard steel ones. While profit has undoubtedly been a driver in the latest club developments the manufacturers are also constantly researching to produce clubs which are more forgiving, launch the ball higher and hit it further.
And not even the golf manufacturers I think would argue that using expensive golf equipment will result in an immediate reduction in your handicap. More expensive clubs by their nature of being made from better materials and a more labour intensive process will more than likely last longer than their cheaper counterparts.
More expensive club heads and shafts which are better designed can also offer the opportunity to better hide inconsistencies in your swing and give you an improved chance of hitting the ball more consistently from the middle of the club face. Many more expensive features on golf clubs often will only benefit better golfers though and there is rarely a substitute for spending more time on the practice fairway rather than more money on clubs.
The simpler question is probably therefore do you need to spend the money on those new clubs rather than are more expensive clubs better? Given the expensive nature of golf and the seeming ever-increasing costs of new clubs what about used clubs as an option?
The answer to that is that you whatever standard of player you are you should undoubtedly consider used clubs as an option. For beginners in particular used clubs are an excellent option and very much the suggested route. We always advocate golfers just taking up the game should save their money to start with.
To being with beginners only need one or two golf clubs to get started — high numbered irons like 9, 8 or 7-irons are best as they have a lot of loft.
And there is no need to buy those new to get going. Why would you spend potentially hundreds of dollars or pounds on clubs before you have even had a go at the game first to see if it is worth more of your time and investment? And it takes time and a lot of practice to establish your swing so what clubs you choose to start with may not end up being the best fit for your eventual swing. So why spend a large sume of money on clubs to fit a swing that is not yet established?
With top of the range drivers, irons, wedges and putters routinely costing hundreds and even thousands of dollars or pounds better players in need of an upgrade should not discount looking out for deals on used clubs.
Unless you are a top golfer constantly practicing and playing does it really matter if your current driver is one model behind the latest version and pre-owned by another good golfer?
And of course EBay has hundreds and hundreds of used clubs listed for sale. The PGA Value Guide is also a great starting place to research prices on used clubs and older models. If you are planning to be playing the game a lot for a decent length of time then it may make sense to spend a bit more on quality clubs to make sure they are right for you and last a bit longer.
Whatever you decide we would recommend every golfer considers two main factors — skill level and age. As we have already noted if you are beginner there seems little point in spending a lot of money on clubs before you have decided how much time you want to commit to the game and also got a better handle on the basics and your swing.
You have to be in control of the basics first — grip, stance, balance etc — before you can start to judge whether a club is the right fit for you. Age is another important factor. Choosing the right equipment will give kids a great foundation , help them with their progress and prevent them from being needlessly put off. Club weight and club height are especially important to focus on to help children learn the fundamentals and develop a good swing.

Some are hybrid with a combination of both.

Size: Golf clubs come in different sizes and the choice has to be based on the height of the individual, the playing style and the posture at play. The golf clubs that are available online satisfy all the requirements and it is essential to make informed choices.
Many new golf players either rent their clubs or borrow a set from friends. But after a few games, not having your own set of golf clubs can become inconvenient. What happens if you show up for tee time and all of the sets have been rented out? Not to mention that playing with different sets can affect how well you will play. Each time you play with new clubs, you have to become accustomed to them.
For many golfers, purchasing their own set of golf clubs is a wise choice. In this article we discuss the price of golf clubs and what you should expect to pay for a set.
