When I began golf, I bought the cheapest no-brand Golf Clubs I could find because I didn’t know if I would like golf. Now I am on a league that competes and I love golf, and my skill has advanced (I’m still NOWHERE near a pro). However, my cheapy clubs no longer cut the mustard and I am looking for some clubs that would provide more distance but still offer some forgiveness for bad shots. Thanks!

I have Ping G-10′s. They are about 4 years old now. I’ve re-gripped them once, though I’ll regrip once a year from now on. Ping G series clubs are very forgiving and are designed for beginning to intermediate players.

If you bought new Pings today, it would be the G-20 series. Go out to your local course and ask the pro what he would recommend. Also, different club manufacturers will come to your course once a year so players can try out their 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.

If you have 5 days send ‘em ground, it shouldn’t take more than 2 days to cross the state at most. Ground would be the cheapest method.

I am a beginner to golf, only recently properly starting playing. I cycle and was wondering are there bags specific for bicycles or smaller bags which are more helpful so its easy to bike with my clubs?

Well first off you should see if you can leave the clubs where ever you are golfing. That will make it much easier. But every way is going to be difficult. try getting a bag with one of those backpack straps sometimes you can buy one and put it on any bag. The make sure you put the cover for the Golf Bag on (usually bags come with some sort of rain cover or something) put that on the bag for the clubs don’t fall out.

What are the advantages of using metal Golf Clubs instead of wooden golf clubs? Why are they made out of metal? What advantages does metal have?

Metal (aluminum/titanium) on the face or shaft of a golf club provides spring off the face which gives more distance… it also has a higher MOI naturally than the wooded clubs. Also wooden clubs have either no flex or to much… you also cant shape wooden shafts the way that you will need to to be a top notch player. So in conclusion… metal golf clubs give more distance, control, and spin. They are also easier to make b/c wood has to be carved… metal can be casted. hop i helped
