FAQs

Which golf clubs are used the most? ›

The most important golf clubs to have are the driver, 7 iron, pitching wedge, and putter. To round things out to a total of five golf clubs, we also throw in the hybrid. Each of these clubs serves a unique role, and because of that, it makes sense to have all of them in the golf bag.

It is important to look for quality as worn-out equipment can affect performance. Second-hand golf equipment is bound to have some blemishes. Take time to scrutinize the club heads to ensure they are not loose, ensure steel shafts are not rusty and have no nicks. Grips can easily get replaced at a reasonable cost.

Irons clubs with smooth faces (no lines, dots, or other patterns) went out of style before 1910. These are older and generally more valuable. Old wooden clubs with long, narrow heads are good. Clubs marked “patent” attract collectors, because they are rarer than non-patent clubs.

What clubs has Tiger Woods used in the past? As an amateur and early days on the PGA Tour, Woods mixed it up at the top of his bag and has been pictured with Titleist, Callaway, Cobra and TaylorMade drivers in play. With his irons though, he preferred the Mizuno MP range and Cleveland 588 wedges.

To figure out which golf club to use for a specific shot, you need to know the average distance you hit a ball with each golf club in your set. Then, you simply choose the golf club that fits the distance you need to hit. The best way to find out is to hit about 50 balls with each club.

Determining Club Length

You can find the right length by measuring the distance from the floor to the wrist crease on your dominant arm when standing with arms hanging straight down. The ideal measurement for a golfer is around 37 inches for men and 33 inches for women.

5.0 Flex = Regular, 5.5 Flex = Regular Plus, 6.0 Flex = Stiff, 6.5 Flex = Extra Stiff, and 7.0 Flex = Extra Stiff Plus.

Rare. With collectible antique golf clubs, it's estimated that fewer than 5% of all old clubs with wooden shafts have collectible value beyond being decorative or looking cool on the course. Most vintage or antique clubs you find at yard sales or online are common golf clubs with very little value.
