Golf clubs: Which one to use when

Whether you win or lose a game of golf can depend on which golf club you use

During a game of golf a player will use different clubs according to his or her expertise, so it is important to know how to choose the appropriate golf club for you. Some of the famous brands of golf clubs are Adams, Yonex, Wilson, Mizuno and Spaulding. With today's society becoming more brand aware, it is tempting to buy the first thing you come across. However, lots of thought has to be put in buying golf clubs. This is because there are different types of club available, and you play your game according to the golf club you use.

A basic set of golf clubs consists of irons, drivers, putters and wedges where each club is designed to help you correct your faults, and to improve your swing speed. The bend or flex of the golf club determines the flexibility of the club's shaft. Powerful swingers have more control with clubs which have less bend in them, while beginners are more comfortable with a more flexible golf club.

The beginner is better off with a solid iron golf club. In these golf clubs, the outside of the golf club holds the majority of the weight. The golf club is more balanced which makes it ideal for those who find it difficult to make full contact with the golf ball.

Professionals usually prefer the wrought iron golf clubs because of the specifications it provides. The heavier side of the golf club is found in the front of the club, which is why it is the preferred choice for experienced players.

Besides the material a club is made from, clubs are chosen according to their size. The basic club is the smallest club. This has a very small area for hitting the ball, so it is usually the professional golf player and the advanced players that choose basic clubs. As the name suggests, the midsized golf club has a larger area for hitting your golf shots, and is bigger in size than the basic golf club. As these golf clubs have a larger �sweet spot� and are easier to control, the intermediate players prefer midsized golf clubs.

Choosing the right size, weight and material is so important in a golf club, as the wrong type can make you play badly and not perform to your potential.
