Golf Instruction 101: Matching the Golf Club to Player Skill Level

Picking the right set of golf clubs is part of any basic golf instruction. It is no secret that a set of golf clubs should match the skill level of players. The usual standard golf set is made up of three woods, ten irons, and a putter. However, it should be noted that this has been the standard configuration for the last hundred years.
Things have changed along with the times and technology has taught man to redesign golf clubs for better game play. With the invention of better and well designed golf clubs, it should be standard practice for any golfer to assess a golf club and figure out if it will benefit one's game. There definitely is no single golf club that will work best for all players. So, no-players don't really need to know what kind of golf clubs that Tiger Woods prefers.
Golf Clubs for Beginners
Beginners usually have hit and swing challenges. That's essentially what everyone faces when they play golf the very first time. Some beginners usually make fat shots, where their clubs tend to hit the ground first before actually striking the ball. Some beginners even hit the ball with the toe or the heel of the club. In short, beginners usually have trouble hitting the ball squarely with the club head.
To help beginners overcome such challenges, experts have created golf clubs to match their needs. Some have designed clubs with a bit of an oversized club head to make hitting the ball a lot simpler. Some have even designed golf clubs with offset club faces. Of course, there are different beginner golf clubs that are designed to meet their different needs. Getting the right beginner golf club is part of any beginner golf instruction.
Golf Clubs for Intermediate Players
Intermediate players will still need some golf instruction and tutelage to help them gear up their skills. Intermediate golfers will definitely need improvement irons. They will still need some slack for the usual mistakes that they make every now and then but they also need to feel in control of their swings.
Intermediate players may want to start off with hybrid irons in case they still need to improve their swings a little more. On the other hand, once intermediate golfers have things under control, they can switch to regular irons. Some intermediate players may still require the old oversized drivers they used to play with when they were new. The important thing where distance is concerned is a shaft that can very well suit their flight requirements and swing speeds.
Such players can also opt for reconfigured wedges and a putter that they're already used to. A good set configuration for intermediate golfers include 1, 3, and 5 woods, 3 and 4 hybrids, game improvement irons, and a putter.
Advance Player Clubs
Advance players may still require some golf instruction where it is needed. It still requires another player or expert to see certain flaws in any athlete's game. Nevertheless, there is a lot more freedom with regard to golf club choice when one becomes an advanced player. Golfers of this skill level will now want to have clubs that have thinner top lines and fewer perimeter weighting.
Drivers will lesser loft with a shaft that matches individual swing speed will work nicely. In the end, whether one considers long par 5s or 2 hybrids, what matters at this point is to match custom club lofts and shafts to one's individual playing style. And that may require some form of golf instruction and second opinion for that matter.
