The Chicken and the Egg Debate in the golf world can be translated to: What comes first, lessons or clubs?
When a golfer is new or re-entering the game after a long layoff, they are typically in search of new clubs. I hear it all the time, “Once my game improves, then I’ll buy clubs.”
Golf clubs are a big investment, but having properly-fit clubs can only enhance your golf experience. You would never try to learn to ride a bike on one that is too big or too small for you, right? Why would you learn to play golf with an outdated set that a family member handed down to you?
Do not, I repeat, do not buy a set of clubs off the rack unless you were fit for them first. Clubs are not one size fits all. There are a number of factors to take into consideration when zeroing in on the perfect clubs for you and your game. Do you need graphite or steel, a degree upright or flat, +1/2” or -1”, and how about the grips?
All of that information can be overwhelming, so why not leave it up to a professional fitter to help you decipher all of these numbers? Having clubs that are specifically fit to you will only increase your confidence when you go to set up for a shot, and who doesn’t want to be more confident on the golf course?!
