Golf club size

[standup]

Got invited out last Wednesday. 1 I'm not a flop by any stretch
2 enjoyed more than I thought. Do clubs need be fitted for length or just by mens right hand and have at er ?

[beardchaser]

A fitting is recommended but means the cost of a new, and probably expensive set. If you are just starting out an off the rack set of men's right hand, regular shaft, "game improvement" clubs are what you want. Used sets can always be found. Have fun.

I'm going to go new. I do nothing half azzed. Game improvement. Are they stiffer for accuracy

Stiffness depends on club head speed, don't get caught up in thinking you need to hit it hard and fast, go to golf town, have them let you hit in the simulator, tell you your club head speed and recommend staff stiffness, go back several times hitting different clubs, you at this point have till next spring to purchase a set.

You'd wonder how companies can sell 800 buck drivers online?

Golf clubs don't make the golfer.... Most golfers aren't very good no matter what clubs they have... Custom clubs only improve a professionals game (and maybe by a stroke or two)... You got to be super good (under par) in order for custom clubs to make much of a difference. It's best to buy something you have confidence and feel good in your hands.... Try and ignore the price tag....
Ask to try a few different clubs, (make sure they hide the price) take some practice hits, buy the ones that feel the best, not by price.
IMO, pros need custom clubs, amateurs need more golf time to improve their game.

This is good advice.

Unless you are very tall or very short - you will not need any customization on your clubs. For your first set of clubs I think a regular shaft is best choice. Also - most commonly if an adjustment is needed due to your height - it can normally be done with easy angle change of the club head. Shaft length mods normally not needed unless you are very tall or short. And actually that is done in the handle, not in the shaft length.
Some people recommend buying cheap clubs first until you decide if you like the game etc. Personally when I started golfing - I bought the best set that suited me regardless of price and figured I would use them for a long time. Twenty years later still use the same set and love them. Of course I have changed the driver and putter many, many times.
Good luck, happy golfing.
