The grip is the only physical contact the golfer has with the club. Therefore, the club feeling comfortable in the golfer’s hands is essential to consistently strike the ball. Changing your golf grips can improve your game by 3-5 shots per round. The wrong size grips can actually have the opposite effect.

Determining your proper grip size is very easy, and can be done in a short period of time. While using sample grips to determine your proper grip size is the best way, using the guide below can get you to the proper size. If you need to size your grip incorrectly, I suggest you err on the large side, as most players I’ve ever dealt with do better with larger grips.

How To Select Golf Clubs

Golf irons are one of the subsets that make up a "set" of golf clubs (Woods, Irons, Wedges, Putter). Generally, irons vary in degrees of loft, which makes the ball travel on a higher trajectory or a lower trajectory. They are used from the fairway, which is the space between the tee-box and the green. They are also the clubs you will use most during a round of golf, so it is important to choose the best set for you.

In choosing golf irons, golfers must consider:

Their body (height and build).
Skill level.
Swing speed.
Personal preference (aesthetically pleasing clubs).

There are other factors that may be considered, but a golf professional will fill you in on those during one of the steps described below.
