How To Make Sense Of Golf Club Specifications
from:When you are looking at golf clubs online or at your local store, you will probably see a whole series of golf club specifications and terminology about why this club can make you hit the ball better, or why a certain club is the best around, and so on. It can be hard to make sense of these golf club specifications and find the best club for your needs. However, there are some basic rules you can follow that will help you make more sense of certain golf club specifications. From grip and flexibility to lie angle, loft angle and weight, there are a myriad of factors to consider. Here is a guide to help you unravel the mysteries of golf club specifications and golf jargon.
Grip size
Grip size is one of the first golf club specifications you might see in a brochure. If you are looking for a grip size, then pick one that can fit in your hands. The right grip size should have your left hand touching your left hand ring finger. Gaps or digging into the hand mean the grip is the wrong size for you. You need to have the golf grip the right size so that your shot remains straight.
Shaft flex
Shaft flex is all to do with the power you put into the shot. A club with too much flex means the club head will generate power before it strikes the ball, whereas too stiff a shaft and you will not be able to generate a lot of power. If you have a slow speed swing, say below 100 km an hour, then go for a flexible shaft marked F. If you have a faster swing then choose something stiffer, like an A rated club.
Length and weight
Club length and weight are two other important factors in golf club specifications. The length of a club affects balance and your stance. You need to make sure you get the right length of club for your height, which you can do by asking your local store for a fitting. The weight is also important. Beginners should stay away from heavy clubs as they lack control. Choose the best weight for you by trying out a variety of club weights and seeing how comfortable they feel.
Although golf club specifications can seem a little confusing, they are important factors to consider when buying clubs. Getting a club with the wrong specifications will affect your game, so make sure you ask if you are unsure about what a certain specification means.
