Hello Lowpost42, hope your day is good and you're heading to the golf course !!!
Thank you for your reply and invaluable info.As said am currently lent a set of
clubs from a friend and he's 6 feet 2 and amd 5 feet 6 and his hands are massive and the
clubs seems larger (not that I know any differences but it feels further away) so that is why I thought I better asks afew questions.
I have had a look around the sports shops but they don't seem to have the general knowledge when ask and some suggest female
clubs ??? I haven't really been to the golf shop itself. Some of the golf courses that I have had a look at don't seem to have shop, but I am still looking. once again thank you for your info. Zac

When you do buy clubs, spend the money and get them fitted. I'm a proponent of getting a swing, then matching clubs to the swing, rather than getting clubs and fitting a swing to the clubs.
After doing some static fitting exercises (sheagolf.com, pinemeadowgolf.com), it seems as though I can use standard length gear. So, like a dummy, I bought some off-the-rack gear. It's worked out so far, but it's time for a fitting, and some different gear. Lessons has turned my swing from a baseball swing to an actual golf swing - and the reward will be new clubs! (Properly fitted and weighted).
Enjoy your new obsession! |
