Our Golf Club Recommendations for Beginners
To compensate for these swing issues, a beginners set should aim for maximum forgiveness.
Oversized clubheads will remedy the problem of inconsistent contact. With a larger hitting area, there's less mis-hits. Perimeter weighting will help on irons - the mis-hits will straighten up a bit, and heel and toe shots become solider. The ball will go up higher with a wide sole, which will also help the club slide through the turf. Also, clubs that are a little shorter will improve the chances of club-ball contact.
Offset clubheads get the club back to the ball later, which remedies those out-to-in swing paths, because the clubface will be squarer, and less open. Additionally, it will assist with those fat shots, because your hands will be kept to the front of the clubhead.
Choose hybrid clubs with a lot of loft and a low centre of gravity to help you with long shots from the rough or the fairway. The more loft you have, the easier it becomes to get the ball higher in the air, which in turn gives you more distance. In addition, it adds backspin, which makes shots go straighter by neutralizing side spin.
When it comes to putting, practice definitely makes perfect. It's not a matter of strength, but it can still be tricky for beginners to gauge distances. The big issue is alignment, as you won't have learnt to keep your head right above the ball. Contact is also an issue.
