Custom Clone Golf Clubs

Clone golf clubs are a great way to get the custom fit and quality you want without having to pay designer-club prices. Clone clubs are also known as generic or knock-off clubs.

The most common type of clone clubs are Ping clones, which replicate the design and style of authentic Ping golf clubs. You can have these clubs customized to your specifications on sites like GolfDiscountCenter.com.

If you visit the clone clubs section of the site, you'll see a long list of custom clubs that are very affordable. Each club has the name of the genuine Ping club after which it is fashioned underneath it.

For example, the P10G Iron Set is designed after the Ping G10. You can find clones of irons, drivers, putters, hybrids, and more on the site.

Understanding Different Golf Club Components

Beginner golfers tend to think of a golf club as just a head attached to a handle. In reality, many different golf club components comprise a typical club, and we'll explain a few of the main parts in this post.

The three basic parts of a club are the grip, the shaft, and the head. The grip is found at the top of the club and is where the player places his/her hands. Clubs today come with a wide variety of grip materials to accommodate the preferences of the player.

The next component is the shaft, or the area that connects the grip to the head of the club. Most shafts are made out of graphite or steel. The shaft material will determine how flexible it is.

The bottom portion of the club that actually hits the ball is called the club head. Heads will vary in size and shape considerably depending on the type of club (e.g., putter, driver, iron, etc.).

Secrets of the Proper Way to Swing a Golf Club

If you've ever watched an amateur and a professional swing a golf club, you know there is a distinct difference. As explained in the video, the proper way to swing a golf club is to start the downswing with the hips.

Most beginners make the mistake of forcing the club toward the ball with all of their muscle groups at the same time. Specifically, many amateurs overuse their arm and chest muscles in their swings.

To correct this mistake, it's important to lead with your lower body when you begin the downswing. This opens up a path for the elbows to come through without hitting the hips and interfering with the swing.

Remember that your finishing form is as important as how you begin the swing. Your back foot should be resting on your toes and your stomach should be pointed toward the goal.

How to Buy Ladies Golf Clubs

Women tend to be shorter than men and also have smaller hands. These characteristics call for clubs that are lighter and shorter than traditional clubs.

When buying ladies golf clubs, what to look for will depend on the type of club you need. For example, ladies woods are typically lightweight in order to maximize distance and swing speed.

Most of the time, unless a club specifies a height, a women's golf club is designed to accommodate people between 5'5" and 5'9". If you're a woman in the market for irons, you might choose utility woods instead.

Utility woods are sometimes easier to control than irons. For short-game clubs, women 5'5" and under should look for a 33-inch putter. For taller women, it's a matter of preference.
