When it comes to golf, you need to be careful when choosing equipment. Pick the wrong ones, and you might end up losing your games and making a fool of yourself. But combine the right set, shaft length, and other features, and you’ll see yourself swinging like a pro! And while quality golf clubs aren’t cheap, they will still help you save money in the long run.

Now with so many golf clubs out there, you might have a hard time picking the best ones for you. And as a beginner, you might not even know which types of clubs to have in your first set! So to make your life easier, start with the items listed below.

to provide you better control when swinging from the tee box; and to cover distances that your iron can’t handle.  

Irons

Irons are great for making mid- or short-range shots across the course. With thinner club heads and deeper grooves, it can help you make accurate shots while simultaneously increasing ball spin.

Hybrids

Hybrids offer the perfect alternative to the difficult-to-swing 3 and 4 irons. Combining the head design of fairway woods and the shaft length of irons, they’re more forgiving and easier to hit.

Wedges

Wedges are special types of irons, featuring more angled club heads to provide higher lofts. They’re best used for getting your ball out of tough spots, as well as for chipping and pitching on the greens.

Putters

Golf Balls

Golf balls refer to the balls you’ll hit while playing golf. Usually white and yellow in color, they’re quite bouncy and sturdy, capable of withstanding the impacts of your swings.

Golf Club Sets

Golf club sets refer to the
collection of standard clubs sold at stores.
Sets usually vary depending on the club type or the brand name.
