When you are thinking about changing golf clubs to fit you better as you age,

you want to look for golf clubs that will give you distance as well. You may

want to have an iron that is custom made, a hybrid club or a clone wood. These

are just a few different ideas when you are thinking about golf clubs. Although

the clone clubs are slightly different from the original clubs, many golfers

find that these clubs are more suited for their changing needs. Whether you need

new irons, woods or drivers you can find some with just enough flex in the shaft

that will help you gain more distance.

There are many manufacturers of senior golf clubs such as Calloway, Wedgewood,

Adams and Nike. You need to choose a golf club that has enough flex in the

shaft, but not too much. It will depend on your ability to swing the club as the

amount of flex you need. The flex is what allows the golf club to bend as you

swing and connect with the ball. You will choose from the ladies flex, senior

flex, regular, stiff and extra stiff flex. If the flex of the shaft is not

matched with your swing, you could miscalculate your swing. A senior golf club

has a little more flex that that of a beginning golfer.

Many golf course pro shops do have golf clubs with different flex shaft ratings

that you can use out on the driving range. This allows the senior golf player to

find the right club that will give you the distance. Before you buy a club,

trying different shaft flexes will enable you to find the one you need without

mistakenly buying the wrong one. You can also find a shop that custom makes golf

clubs for senior golfers and have a set of clubs make especially to enhance your

game.

Whether you buy an expensive senior golf club or a discounted club will not

matter as long as you buy the right club with the right amount of flex. You do

however need to buy something durable, this is where it pays to be critical with

discount clubs. Just because the club gives you, the distance might not mean it

will be the best. Some discount clubs may loosen up as you use it more. This

could cause the flex to become softer than what you need.

Senior golf players have more advantages today then what they have in the past.

The clubs are designed more for their use and flexibility where as golfers in

the past usually only had a few club flexes to choose from as they gained more

experience in the game. Finding the different golf clubs and understanding the

best clubs will help your game. You can look at different websites under the

manufacturers of the clubs to see what they offer and what the ratings are

before you seek a pro shop to try the club on the greens.
