Recommended Clubs For Intermediate Golfers

 

Intermediate golfers tend to hit the ball a lot more consistently than the beginner golfer. So, now you should be a lot more confident with your play and you should be hitting well on a regular basis. Your iron shots are becoming more accurate and they are reaching the required distance most of the time, and you are also hitting the greens a lot more too. The speed up your club head when swinging is also going up, and you are beginning to hit the ball with the centre of the club face more often, resulting in more accurate and longer distance on all your shots.

Now, you may become to realize that you may need a little help around the greens, but you know how to hit confidently now so you can begin to add additional wedges to your bag. You would also like to have a few more options from 100 yards and in so your short game can be improved upon and your scores lowered.

Your drives may still be a little inconsistent and your distance could be a touch better, but overall your accuracy could be more of a problem. The odd hole where a 2 or 3 drive into the wild is ruining your round.

You may still not hit those long iron shots very well, but if you have a decent enough lie you can pull out your five iron and smash it down the fairway onto the green. You would love to get more distance and more consistency on those longer attempts at the green. Also, those long par 4's may sometimes be hard to reach.

You may still fight that bit of a slice but now it has become more of a fading shot. You may even get a clean shot through the ball and perhaps you'll notice a slight move the right then to the left, which is known as a draw. But you're starting to predict were the ball is heading.

The perfect setup for the Intermediate Golfers

Now, you will want to start with the game improvement irons, still with a little forgiveness to them, but not so much that they affect your distance too much. You would like to have a little more feel and control with the irons, and if you hit your irons reasonably well most of the time you will want to consider getting a 4 iron instead of your hybrid 4. If you don't fancy going to a longer iron then just stick with your hybrid if you feel comfortable.

With regards to distance with your hybrids and woods, you may want to decrease the loft on those so that you're able to maximize distance. Also, you may want to go with the 3 hybrid instead of the 5 to add a little more distance to your shots.

The driver should still be oversized and with a 10 to 12 degree loft so you can still maximize loft, distance, and accuracy. Also, the shaft is an important component for the intermediate as the swing speed is generally slightly higher and you will want one that will work well with your swing speed and ball flight requirements. Perhaps even a draw enhanced driver would help you to get that little extra distance you crave.

You can now also begin to add more wedges to your bag. A lob wedge or a gap wedge would be great additions now. If you do choose to add more wedges to your choice of clubs then I would recommend that you would get wedges of different loft measurements. You should aim for a degree of 6 different between them all.

If you are comfortable using your putter now then this doesn't have to be altered to fit your experience. If you’re comfortably sinking putts then it's not a problem you have to worry about. But, however, if you would like to try something new I would suggest the new Moment Of Inertia maximized mallets would be a great choice.
