Golf can be a difficult game but technology has fortunately made it a lot easier. If you play golf or are interested in learning the game, it is important to know some basic information about the tools you are using. Since it can also be an expensive game, you will want to consider the different options available before making a decision.
If you decide to purchase new clubs, it is highly advised that you get properly fitted for them. Since each person is unique, we all require different specifications in our equipment to optimize performance. You can have all the natural talent in the world but without clubs that fit your dimensions and swing, the game will be more difficult than it should be. Thomas Golf offers free fittings on their website: simply fill in the information and one of the club fitters will email you back with your recommended specifications. They also sell clubs that independent research has shown to offer easier alignment and more accuracy. With the level top plane on the woods and their alignment indicators, you are better prepared to aim and hit your target.
The basic set of golf clubs consists of a driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and a putter. How these clubs are arranged in your set will depend again on your dimensions and club fitting. For instance, let's say you are a beginning golfer. If you start the game with blade style irons designed for experienced players then it will be very difficult for you to hit solid shots. On the other hand, if you start the game with more forgiving clubs, such as Thomas Golf's AT505 irons then you'll find the ball much easier to hit well.
