Our recomendations golf club sets :
1. Low Handicap
A low-handicap player has a single-digit handicap, meaning he or she generally scores less than 10 strokes over par, or an 82 or less on a par-72 course.
Woods: The low-handicap player should carry a driver and at least one fairway wood, most likely the 3-wood.
Irons: The low-handicap player will benefit from lower irons in his bag, because the three or four-iron are difficult clubs to hit but can be very useful if they can be controlled.
Wedges: At least 3 wedges–sand wedge, pitching wedge and either a lob wedge or approach wedge–with a maximum 4 degreebloft difference between each one.
2. Mid Handicap
The mid-handicap golfer plays “bogey golf,” meaning his or her score averages 1 over par on each hole, or somewhere in the 11-20 handicap range.
Woods: In addition to the driver and a 3-wood and a 5-wood, consider adding a 7-wood or even a 9-wood. These fairway woods give much better control and consistency than the very hard to hit long irons.
Irons: Usually only a 3 through 9 are recommended, since the 2-iron is very difficult to hit consistently.
Wedges: Three different wedges are recommended- pitching wedge, sandwedge, and either a lob wedge or approach wedge.
3. The high-handicap golfer
The high-handicap golfer is usually a beginner or has not played sufficient rounds to reach the mid-handicap level. The high-handicapper usually shoots near or over 100.
Woods: You may not even want to have a driver in your bag. Instead , choose the 3-wood as your off-the-tee wood and add the easier-to-hit 7- and 9-wood.
Irons: 3- thru 9-iron, and consider replacing the 3 and 4 with hybrids.
Wedges: Up to 3 wedges – pitching wedge, sand wedge, and either a lob wedge or approach wedge should be carried.
