Will Custom Clubs vs. Store Bought Actually Make A Difference In Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

” Playing with golf equipment that fits you makes it so much easier to play and be enjoyable” says, Tiger Woods. It all depends upon your budget in what you can afford.  Some golfers are turned off by custom made clubs.  They are more expensive and there is a waiting period while their being built to your specifications. (Height and Wrist to Floor.). Unlike going out shopping at any brick and mortar stores that carries different lines of golf equipment.  You just pick out the golf clubs that you want and  you can play with them that same day.  However,  it does take time to get used to them.

With the economic conditions and not knowing if you’ll even have a job the next day.  Most people will buy off the rack standard clubs.  It won’t improve their game one  iota and they don’t care. They believe what’s the difference! Their not there to improve their golf swing mechanics but,  to have fun being with others and enjoying the great outdoors.  Most of the ones playing with used or racked clubs are just beginning to play and don’t need expensive clubs.  That’s  True!

For those who have been playing for a while and want to improve upon their golf swing mechanics. Then  investing in custom built clubs is a must! It will benefit your golf swing in the long run.  For those who want to further improve themselves it is essential that you are fitted correctly.  It’s highly recommended that you see your local P.G.A.  professional who has all the necessary tools to fit you and align your golf swing up properly with their latest computer technology.

When I first started playing I was given hand me down golf clubs by my father.  I played with these clubs throughout my college years.  Couldn’t afford to buy new clubs until after I got married.  I was playing all of the time in the  high 70’s through college but,  when I bought my first set of Wilson  1200’s I did  see immediate improvement.  I was able to at least shave off  another 4 – 5 strokes. I now was able to compete not only at my own golf club but,  also get involved in local district tournaments.  I still play with Wilson golf clubs but,  I had to adjust my clubs  as I got older.  I no longer play with steel shafts but, with graphite lights.   I extended my shafts from 44′ to 46” giving me longer extensions on the golf swing.  I  still have lost some distance on my drives but,  it’s enough on most holes to set me up nicely on my second shots to the green.

The value of having something fit to you is indeed a major benefit in improving your golf swing. You don’t want to have your body adjusted to the golf club but,  instead have your golf club built to your size and your height.  Having to adjust yourself to the golf club is probably the worst thing that you can do.  Your ingraining so many bad swing flaws because your having to overcompensate on your height, weight, and strength.

Probably the easiest thing you can do with custom built clubs is the control factor. With the proper setup of your golf clubs you have no bad  movement with them.  Instead you have properly balanced clubs,  the correct shaft, weight,  correct shaft composite ( steel, graphite or hybrid.),  shock absorbers built in,  alignment of the club head (closed or open),  and  the proper loft and lie. ( degrees of the club face).

Now when you mishit shots their still hit with authority and they go much straighter.  I believe that is the biggest difference,  because as amateurs or professionals we don’t hit perfect shots all of the time.  The Human Factor must be accounted for. Most of our golf shots will be mishits.  With these misses it accentuates it even more when the golf club isn’t set up perfect for you.  You don’t have the right shaft,  the right loft and lie,  all of this  becomes factors into your golf swing including the correct grip size.

When you have a set that is made for you. It’s amazing how much better you feel about yourself mentally, and you do play better golf without trying.  It seems that the Universe is on your side, because you will hit shots that you never thought you  could hit.  Your confidence and trust level will begin to soar, and this becomes a lot more fun and it’s why us golfers  come back for more time and time again.
