Key Considerations When Choosing Your First Golf Club Set

The best fit for you will largely depend on your swing and your preferences, but the following factors are important to consider when choosing a starter set:

Forgiveness: Large sweet spots and perimeter weighting help you hit straighter, even on off-center shots.
Set Makeup: Look for included essentials—driver, fairway wood, hybrid, multiple irons, wedges, putter, and a stand bag. Headcovers are a nice bonus, but not a necessity.
Shaft Flex: Most beginners do best with regular or uniflex shafts, which improve feel and control.
Materials: Lightweight graphite in woods and hybrids adds distance, while durable steel in irons gives you better control.
