Question by playaut0785: How do you determine the core size of a golf club’s shaft?
I have searched the internet and every methot to do this requires that you take the old grip off of your club and measure. Since i will be purchasing a set of grips and installation kit online from amazon, I don’t want a period of 2weeks without grips on my clubs. I dont want a professional to replace them for me for obvious price reasons. Lastly and most unfortunately the golf club maker of my set doesn’t reveal this information on their website and the only contact with them is by mail [slow]. Thanks for any advice.

I use Tommy Armour Morph Irons(rifle 5.0 shaft R flex),
Adams Golf 460D (Nv regular flex),
Adams Golf ovation 4 wood (stiff flex)

these are the clubs that i wanted to re-grip.
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. lets say for instance that my golf clubs have a .620 core size and i buy the .600 then im out 80 bucks. this is why i want to know.

Question by Matt: What’s the cheapest way to ship golf clubs?
I need to ship my golf clubs and bag just across the state of NC. I would put them in my car, but with the wife and baby’s stuff, they won’t fit. I looked at Fedex and UPS and it costs over $ 100 bucks. That seems a little steep, just goinf across the state. I have a window of 5 days for them to get there.

Question by julz: What does a good set of golf clubs include?
My husband wants to take up golf and is looking for a set of clubs. Which clubs–irons, woods and putters, and sizes–should he start off with?

Best answer:

Answer by Jared M
They are usually 3-PW. That includes, 3 Iron, 4 Iron, 5 Iron, 6 Iron, 7 Iron, 8 Iron, 9 Iron, and Pitching Wedge.

You can customize most nice sets too as long as you keep it to 8 irons, but you will be charged extra for any additional clubs. For example, if you don’t want a 3 Iron, but want a SW, you can substitute. Or if you want 3-PW and a SW, you will pay an extra $ 110 or so (depending on the club) for the SW.

Question by B-Rad486225: What are the best budget junior golf clubs for a 9 yr old beginner?
My son is just getting into golf and I want to get him a basic set that will keep him interested. I don’t want to go crazy with the price since I don’t know how well he will take care of them. We’re still working on the responsibility thing. Thanks.

Answer by murraymcf
At 9 years old, it’s important to ensure that the clubs fit him properly. Probabaly the best advice would be to speak to a golf professional about this. Most golf clubs (courses),have a club pro who would be happy to spend a little time with you and your son to give you proper advice. The other thing of course is that your son will outgrow his first set of clubs rather quickly so you may not want to spend a fortune.
You might be advised to enroll your son in some lessons with a reputable pro in your local area. Let the pro guide you along and make recommendations. I can’t overstate this. Getting your son started on the right path will help him to develop good habits, rather than bad ones which are difficult to break later.

Question by tacosauce: How can you tell the difference between good golf clubs and bad ones?
I’m looking to by my first set of golf clubs and am trying to find a balance between good and cheap.

Best answer:

Answer by MIKE W
You can find a combination of both. Try Adams GT500s (4-LW). You can get these for under 200.00. You can probably find some Wilsons, or Spauldings for a little cheaper. Basically, you want to go with reputable names in the golf industry. You’ll see a lot of knock off brands that might try to trick you, stay away from them. Since this will be your first set of golf clubs, maybe check your paper or internet for some used set of quality clubs. When you are just learning, you could have a 1000.00 set of clubs and still won’t hit good. Well good luck!

Question by Terry: What specific golf clubs does a beginner need to play?I know you need a driver and a putter but what else?
I just ordered a driver on line and that is all I own. I’m going to practice driving at a virtual golf place until it gets warmer outside. I am an absolute beginner. What would be the minimum clubs I would need to actually play a round? I am an older (54) female so think the hybrids would be good for me. I am not actually looking for brand recommendations here, but club types. That said, the Callaway GES system sounds good to me because it apparently only has seven clubs which sounds about right to me but I am having trouble finding it. Does anyone know how I could replicate that buying individual clubs? I don’t really want a full set, at least not yet. And carrying 14 clubs around, many of which I probably wouldn’t use at least not soon, sounds like a waste of energy. So what is the minimum and what are they? Please be specific because a lot of what I have read is pretty confusing. So many choices! Thanks.

Answer by Wham
If your a beginner and don’t want to carry around all the clubs at first then I would recommend just getting the basic irons 3,5,7, and 9. I would also recommend a pitching wedge and also a fairway driver like a 3 or 5 wood to start with. After that if you feel comfortable then you could fill in the rest of your set.

Question by Jo: What is the best method for flying with golf clubs?
I have an expensive set of golf clubs & wish to minimize any damage or loss when I fly with them. As you can imagine, I have heard many horror stories over the years. How is this best achieved? Can I get insurance?

Best answer:

Answer by Mike W
you can insure anything..
The best way is to have a hard lockable travel case, and check them as luggage.

Question by Arie R: What kind of golf clubs should I buy?
I would like to take up the sport of golf, however first I need a set of clubs. I just need to know what a good set or brand would be for a beginner such as myself who does not want to break the bank right away.

Answer by refreshe123d
Go to wal mart and buy ram for $ 100. Do not buy good brands such as taylor made, callaway, titlest when your just starting out. Once u get better and break around 80 than buy a nice set. and you’ll improve a LOT.

Answer by David
What you should do is go to Golf Galaxy or Dicks Sporting Goods, or any golf store and get properly fitted for golf clubs. They can get your exact right height, shafts for your swing speed, and even match you with the perfect set. Hope it goes well!

Question by IceCube: Do you think golf clubs these days are made for hitter not swinger?
I’ve played golf for over 20 years since Persimon woods and iron shaft time and I felt the club more then than now. With drivers these days, I feel the need to grip harder and use more hands and wrists than ever before. Is there any theory changed lately on driver swing?

Best answer:

Answer by ANF
I have just bought a new driver of the 460cc size with a 10deg loft. I find that with this driver I can swing faster with no loss of accuracy, as long as I keep my head down, but I still need to observe the basic requirements of the swing. Straight left arm, take back 12 inches before turning etc. The best results come with a complete and full follow through complete with end of stroke pose. Have a good golf time.
