Practice and experience.\nI was given a little trick to learn well.\nGo stand on the goal line at a local football field (preferably when nobody is around).  The grass is usually cut low enough to be similiar to a light rough.  Then just hit out some balls and track where they land - mark your shortest, your longest and your average.\nDo that with each club until you have a good idea of the distances.  Write it down and you can keep it in your bag to refer to when you are out on the course.

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it \nmuch further than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

All golfer or most golfers will tell you the same thing.  Before they started playing golf they never thought they would play it.  I guess you can say you have to try it to know if you like it or not.  Now if you have some friends that would like to try, tell them to check out www.playgolfamerica.com They have some great programs for beginners at local golf courses.  Link Up 2 Golf is the best.  They do not need to but clubs.  May they can sign up for a free golf lesson to try it out.

If you subscribe to Golf Magazine, there is a clubtest on a certain type of club every month, such as putters or fairway woods.  Look at websites like golfsmith.com or golfmart.com, find the club you want, and read the reviews.  Or go to a golf store and try the clubs out for yourself.  That is the best way.

Agreed.  There is no standard distance for a club, it all depends on who is swinging it.  For example, put a 9 iron in my hands, and I'll hit the ball about 115 yards, but put it in Tiger's hands and he'll hit it 150 or so.  \n\nThe best thing to do is go to your local driving range and hit all of your clubs - try to get a sense for how far you hit each club on average and use that as your guide.  Bear in mind the distance you are hitting each club today will change as you progress, so adust accordingly.\n\nHave fun!

Either way you decide to go you should get the irons custom fit. For some reason the golf consumer believes that name-brand clubs off the rack are "better." This is simply false. \n\nIf the average Joe could witness the hours of tweeking that go into a touring pro's clubs, then they'd realize that it's not the name on the clubhead, it the custom fitting that makes it all work.\n\nTo get everything just right, your swing has to be analyzed either with computer or by lots of experimentation or, preferably, by both.\n\nA book that you may benefit greatly from is Tom Wishon's "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club." (See link 1)\n\nSee link 2 for a quick Q&A discussing custom clubfitting.\n\nNo, I do not work for nor am I associated with Wishon Golf in any way, shape, or form. I actually play a set of Golfworks irons, TaylorMade driver (a gift...would never have spent that much on a driver), and a SeeMore putter (like Payne Stewart's).

A good club for one person may not be for another.  Picking out golf clubs, you have to consider how much you play, your budget, and what you like.  The best thing to do is try out as many as you can.  Go to Demo days and have someone fit you for clubs.  Now since you already have them, who cares what anyone else thinks.  The only  thing that matters is how you hit them and if your happy.  Now if your having trouble with them go to www.playgolfamerica.com and sign up for a free golf lesson with a local PGA pro.

Take the three and test them on a launch monitor with a certified club fitter or PGA pro.  They will be able to tell which one is best for your swing.  They are all good drivers.  The major differences are with trajectory and forgiveness.  A fitter or pro will look at your skill level (be honest about your handicap), swing speed, ball speed, and launch angle......and will be able to advise the best one for you.\n\nOne more thing to try....go on eBay and see if you can find one of the newer TM's for a better price.  I have a TM R7-425 with a 75g V2 shaft and I love it !!!!!

Well, as for the previous two answers I will say that Ping is good, but nowhere near expensive as Callaway products.  As for the Taylor Made r7, well, I have one and it is great, but the changeable weights wont help if you have a horrible swing. \n\nRight now, the best drivers on the market in terms of accuracy I would have to say the Nike SQ and the Cleveland Hi-Bore are on top.  Both of those drivers are probably the most accurate clubs on the market.

Woods – \nHave you tried the new Hybirds out?  If not hit a 3 and 4.  They take the place of long irons.  I think you will like it, almost everyone does.  \n\nWedges – Your wedge should be a 52 or 54 and you have the 60.  I suggest you get a 56 or 58.  Check the length, I purchased a Ben Hogan SI and it was the same length as my 9 iron, so if went just as far as the wedge.  When it comes to bounce if you 60 has a lot, do the opposite with the new one.  \nGood Luck

The clubs are fine the most important thing is making sure you have the correct one.  Trying out several and being fit is the key.  You have to find the club that looks good, feels good and does the job with your regular swing.  You can always sign up for a free golf lesson with one of your local PGA pros at www.playgolfamerica.com if your having trouble hitting them.  My first option would be have the checked out and switched out if it's not to late.

When it comes to putters if you like it and think you can make putts it's good.  Heavy putters for slow greens light for fast.  \n\nA couple things to remember \nDo not use your wrist \nShort back swing good follow through - make sure you accelerate the putter\n\nLength of putt\nLay a ruler on the ground.  Putt the ball 3 feet.  Make a note how far you take the putter back.  1.5 inches in most cases.  Do the same for a 5 foot, 8 foot and 15 foot putt.  Once you learn how far to take the club back for each distance your way ahead of the game.  \n\nHere is some more info \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_nesbitt120505.cfm

There's no such thing as "perfect" golf club specs....everyone has their own swing and style of hitting the ball....which leads to many different set make ups....\n\nWhat works for me most likely will not work for you as well...
