When I started playing, I got a used set. Woods by Callaway, Wilson weighted irons, originals..then I added a 7 wood, Hawkeye, and 9 wood by a Japanese maker I never head of.
Been playing 18 months and moved to Hcp 16….playing between 16-18 in a few different comps. I'm 59, I did play golf before but stopped cold for 30 years. I would say I'm an average club golfer.
I want to know generally..if I went with a full upgrade…how long would it take me to adapt and might my form get worse before it gets better.
I don't know which clubs I might buy..a major brand definitely…or I might only get a full set of woods including a burner.
Adapting to new clubs is a process that averages about a couple of weeks depending on how often you play. Will your form get worse? I am sure you understand that your form will probably never return to what it was like when you were 29 lol. Like several have said…..Graphite shafts are a whole new breed of cat for you…they will require a bit of you adjusting to their characteristics for sure. Good luck and Hope you enjoy the game again
And Do You Know Where I Can Get The Best Deal On True Temper Shafts? Thanks
the clubs are new i really just need to know how to install new shafts because they are new heads without shafts
and for the shafts where do i get the Ferrules and the epoxy to glue it to the heads?? thanks so much all of you
I have used Golfsmith for years. They will occasionally have sales but even some of their generic products are well made.

When I swing a golf club, should my left wrist be cupped away from my body or bent in toward my body?
Posted by Jeff Blanket
I am a right handed golfer. If my golf club is parallel with the ground at the top of my backswing and roughly perpindicular with my neck/spine, should my left wrist be sort of cupped (hinged backwards) or bent (hinged forward)? I've seen both but which is most common. I see a lot of players with bent wrists? it feels a bit wierd for me but looks like it keeps theclub on plane better for the pros.
Should be flat, but there are some VERY good players who have cupped wrist… if in doubt go see a good teaching Pro and get it sorted…
I'm thinking to spend approx $200. Is that possible to get a decent one? I saw a lot of them in the $350 range but wasn't sure if I could find a good one for a bit less. Any suggestions from golfers out there?
I suggest
- looking in his golf bag and find out what brand of clubs he has. if they are a big name brand like Ping or Calaway buy the same brand Driver.
- I would have a chat with his golfing mates , i am sure they know what type of driver he would like
- if you cant pick a driver - get a gift certificate at the golf store
My irons are about 15 years old. I replace the grips every 2 years. Would I benefit from replacing the shafts?
Hello C-A. S'pose if they r cared 4 - why wood they do evil?
My son is 10 year old. He is starting to play golf. What junior golf set should i buy him? Which companies????
Almost all golf companies now making junior clubs, Nike, Ping, Taylormade, Callaway.
For starters U.S. Kids makes good clubs and then as he gets better, invest in others.
I'm right handed, but I put my left hand closer to the club head , i.e. my left-hand on top of my right-hand. My friend says he used to do that, but he changed and now he puts his right-hand on top of his left hand. I know that is the right way for a right hander, but it doesn't feel right. I do this in hockey and hurling as well. Should I try it out or should I golf like a left-hander?
actually, i would continue doing whatever feels comfortable for you, because the game of golf is only 10% physical.
The grip you prefer is called crosshanded. It is more common to use it only with a putter, but there are a few people who use it all the time. In fact there was an article in Golf Digest last year about a man from south Africa who uses the type of grip you use. He plays to a 2 handicap, which is really good, and get this he is 60 years old. He is 60 and is a 2 handicap and uses a crosshand grip. It works for him, why cant it work for you. It may be a little unorthodox, but golf is about what makes you feel comfortable.
my grandma just gave me my grandpa's and im about to start so can anyone help me
Yes. 45" is the standard length that many manufacturers follow.
Recently, with lighter shaft and bigger club head, some companies (e.g. Nike, TaylorMade) have lengthened the stock driver length (e.g. Nike Sumo 45.75", TaylorMade Burner 46").
They claim their drivers add 10 more yards….which is true, but they don't normally mention the fact that they've also increased the shaft by almost an inch. The longer the shaft, the further the ball will fly, but the harder to make solid contact.
Gotta love their marketing department!!
