Golf is a sport that involve so many tools that hardly any other sport involve. Different sort of clubs are there for different type of players, i.e. from novice to professionals.

The complexity of the playing equipment is increasing day by day. Every new entry in the market is far more superficial in their designs for most of the players.

Unfortunately, there are very few people who understand their requirements and buy equipment accordingly.

Remember, a club is always designed for somebody, not for everyone. For a particular piece of equipment, a club maker is given specified specifications and requirements, which he than create on the drawing board. This clearly shows that a particular set of clubs is made for low handicappers or for high handicappers. You have to select one which best suits your skills.

Your club head speed also plays a vital role in choosing the right set of clubs for your. Nowadays for player’s convenience, many pro shops offer facilities to measure club head speed, ball speed and the trajectory and the back spin.

It further improves for professionals and ranges 110 mph.

Your speed very much depends on your swing style. If your swing is at fault, this may be due to wrong selection of club or vice versa. Here the best person that can help you is a profession, which can be more probably your coach. Coach is the best option to seek help from while shopping for golf equipment.
