What are good golf clubs for a 14 year old golfer?
January 18th, 2010 | by admin |Im about 5′8" and ive been golfing since i was 8. im not obsessive over golf but im starting to play alot with friends for something to do after school. im a decent golfer but im not consistant at all. I have dunlop irons and a wedge that are probly over 10 years old, a taylor made(i forgot what kind) driver(although a newer one) a 9 wood, and an oddessey putter. my parents can afford good clubs but im waiting for xmas bc i feel bad for making them spend money)they just spent 180 dollars on a bag and shoes. My driver feels a little too big for me and i ALWAYS slice with it. I really want to fix the slice and i know that its not the club except the club just feels pretty big for me. So my question is, i need a new set of irons, wedges, and maybe a new driver that will last me a long time and hopefully improve my game. I also try to stay away from ping bc i dont really like the way they play. Ive tried them
wow u guys are fags
Well, it sounds like you don’t want to spend insane amounts of money on new clubs, but you don’t want a cheapo set that you find at a garage sale. I would reccommend some mid-range nike irons. Such as the Victory Red Full Cavity irons or maybe the Nike Slingshot irons. Whatever you choose make sure ot works for you. Keep your putter it’s a nice one. I would reccommend dome cleveland wedges or Titleist Vokey wedges. As for the driver, you may want to keep that club, you said it is newer. The club isn’t too long for you at that height by the way, in fact the longer the driver, the longer you hit it. So I would stick with your driver and to correct the slice maybe stand closer to the ball, and if that doesn’t work than try to swing easier, trying to kill the golf ball will 99.99% of the time result in a slice for amateurs. If that doesn’t work than try to grip looser, don’t use a "death grip" as this is part of killing the golf ball, if all of this fails than I would see a instuctor on how to correct your slice because it could be so many other things.
P.S. For standing closer to the golf ball, I don’t mean by much, I mean 1 inch or 2 at the most.
P.S.S For your slice you may want to try the Taylormade Draw driver as this will correct your slice or a driver like the R9 with an adjustable head. This will almost guarantee you hit it straighter. But don’t use equipment to fix your slice alway try a pro first because a pro for a half an hour is a lot cheaper than a 400.00 driver that you would’ve found out you don’t need.
Hope thos Helps!

Check ebay and Amazon. Also, buying bags w/ clubs helps cut the cost down alot.
