Every golfer, both new and experienced, reaches a point where they have to purchase new or replacement golf clubs.

It’s a simple fact of life for most golfers, though sometimes driven more by the desire for something new rather than a genuine “need”.

One of the questions that invariably comes up is whether or not a custom golf club (or set of clubs) is a good option for improving your game.

The final answer is probably similar to the scenario of two pilots in a dogfight, one with more experience in a piece of junk aircraft and the other a rookie in a top-of-the-line bird.

Everyone knows the experienced flyer will be the one going home at the end of the day and that same logic likely holds true on the golf course too.

However, there are certainly some benefits in purchasing custom golf clubs as long as you can stomach the extra cost.

The fact of the matter is that everyone is built a little bit differently, yet all those nuances can’t be accounted for in your standard, off-the-shelf set of golf clubs.

You find this sort of one-size-fits-all type of equipment in other sports too, with many players opting for customized equipment instead due to their different build or body type.

The same holds true for golf and much like those athletes from other areas of the sports world, custom equipment can help you realize a marked improvement in your golf game, all other things being equal (like being solid on the fundamentals).

Factors such as your height, your reach and which side is more dominant can have an impact on the amount of power and accuracy with which you can deliver the ball down the course.

These and other factors might be a little bit different for you versus the generic measurements used for creating off-the-shelf clubs but with a set of custom golf clubs, you’ll know they’re tailor made to be a perfect fit for you.

In fact, when you get your custom golf clubs made, the people you’re working with will ask you all sorts of questions to really nail down exactly how they need to design them.

Even factors such as your age, your previous golf performance, the types of clubs you favor and other characteristics will, surprisingly enough, have an impact on the final design.

Once you get to try your new clubs out on the course, it might take a little time to get accustomed to their new, and likely different feel.

However you should quickly get a good feel for it and soon it will be easier and more natural to handle than your old, stock clubs.

And while I can’t guarantee your new clubs will get you to the Master’s, your golf buddies will definitely notice a difference in your game, though they might not know why.

I won’t tell if you won’t…

Golf is one of the UK’s most popular sports with thousands of new starters getting involved every week. A wonderful form of relaxation which can be extremely addictive with highly committed participants.

One of the drawbacks of the sport is the financial outlay that is necessary when you first take up golf, this includes golf club membership, clothing, clubs and other golf equipment and accessories.

This article points out some hints and tips when first buying golf equipment so you can pick up the sport without blowing your entire budget!

A common mistake new golfers make is to straight away go out and buy a top set of brand new golf clubs and equipment without having really tested out the sport first.

Although it’s great to look good and have the best equipment possible, buying expensive clubs will not necessarily lower your handicap.

With so much on the market these days you can easily pick up a good deal on cheap clubs which are equally as good quality.

Many stores buy their heads, shafts, and grips from the same small community of golf manufacturing suppliers as the large companies such as Callaway, Ping, Titliest, TaylorMade and Cobra do.

Therefore they can offer the exact same quality of product at a much cheaper price. It’s exactly the same concept as when you go shopping for a T-shirt, if you buy a labelled one you may end up paying four times as much as you would for an unlabelled one of the same quality.

One popular option for new golfers is to buy a half-set of clubs. Usually this consists of five irons, two woods and a putter.

This covers most of the club sizes you will need to get started, develop your interest in the sport and work out whether it will be a life-long hobby or just a fleeting interest.

Most shops both online and in the high street stock a wide range of half-sets of clubs.

You will also be able to benefit from their advice. Have a look at a range of online sports equipment stores that can help you.

On the plus side of buying a new set of golf clubs is that it can give an immediate boost in confidence to be taking up your first rounds of golf, however, you might be fairly embarrassed looking like an abject failure whilst using a top notch set of clubs.

You can get a complete set of clubs for a reasonable price - between $100 and $200, including custom fitting. Obviously not the top brands but certainly at a standard of a keen beginner.
