Golf Clubs and Supplies

I've just begun a course in learning to play golf, and the easiest exercise is swinging the club with one arm.
The problem is that, being totally new, I do not own any golfing equipment. I'd like to know what I may use to substitute.

Lol, of course you can. so clever!! you can find sth like golf club. like this you can make good use of your used thing and save your money. at the same time you can practice it at your home. maybe broom is good. maybe you can find others or do it by yourself which you thought.

How do you remove a small golf ball size dent from the top of a golf club driver ? I have an expensive club .

very likely, the dent can not be removed. If it is a dummy mark you can try to have someone refinish it, but its next to impossible to repair a dent and maintain playability

I just took one lesson at the driving range, and the instructor was nice enough to give me a used golf club. Even though, it allows me to practice after my lesson, it is old and worn out, and may even affecting my performance. How am I to pick out a driver that is "right" for me?

I would suggest a 5 iron. A 5 iron is sort of the middle club in a complete set. I would suggest you also get a 3 wood just for practice using a longer club,a pitching wedge to work on short shots, and a putter. Usually people get bored doing the same thing over and over with 3 clubs you can vary your practice.

The big thing when you get a used club is make sure the grip is fairly new. The pro at your club can have it changed for a few dollars ($5-$8). Avoid grips that are old, dry, hard, and slick.

I have searched the internet and every methot to do this requires that you take the old grip off of your club and measure. Since i will be purchasing a set of grips and installation kit online from amazon, I don't want a period of 2weeks without grips on my clubs. I dont want a professional to replace them for me for obvious price reasons. Lastly and most unfortunately the golf club maker of my set doesn't reveal this information on their website and the only contact with them is by mail [slow]. Thanks for any advice.

I use Tommy Armour Morph Irons(rifle 5.0 shaft R flex),
Adams Golf 460D (Nv regular flex),
Adams Golf ovation 4 wood (stiff flex)

these are the clubs that i wanted to re-grip.
Thanks for any advice.
P.S. lets say for instance that my Golf Clubs have a .620 core size and i buy the .600 then im out 80 bucks. this is why i want to know.

How to Properly Re-Grip Your Golf Clubs

Every golfer who decides to re-grip his own clubs should remember that the grip is the only direct contact with the club - so re-gripping must be done properly.

To properly re-grip a club, you must know the core size of the grip that you will require, and the size of the grip that best fits your hands.

Grips come in standard core sizing: .520", .560", .580", .600" and .620". There are also special-core-sized grips for oversized-butt diameter shafts, however these types of shafts are very rare now.

Determining the core size you require is simple. Just measure the diameter of the butt of the shaft you are going to re-grip.

The diameter of the shaft should match the core diameter of the grip.
Now determine what size grip best fits your hands. Grips come in regular, mid-size, and oversized or jumbo. To determine which grip best fits your hands, measure from your wrist (base of hand) to the end of your longest finger. If the dimension is less than 6.5 inches, use a junior grip; 6.5 to 7 inches, use a .560" grip; 7 to 7.5 inches, use a .580" grip; 7.5 to 8 inches, use a mid-size grip and over 8 inches choose a jumbo grip.

Once you have chosen your new grips and are ready to start, make sure that you have the following materials:

• Grip solvent (place in a squeeze bottle).
• Two-sided 2-inch-wide grip tape and a container to catch the unused solvent.
• You'll also need a vise and a special rubber shaft holder.

All of the above should be available from major component companies.

The grip solvent I like to use is Coleman Camp Fuel. It does a great job and leaves no residue. DO NOT USE Varsol or WD40 - they leave an oily residue and some grips will become loose.

Before you start you must remove the old grips and the old grip tape. This needs to be done to leave the shaft clean and ready for the new tape and grip. Once you've done this, you are ready to ready to re-grip your clubs:

• Put the shaft holder over you club shaft and tighten in the vise. Be careful not to overtighten if you are re-gripping graphite shafts - they can crack. Tighten just enough that the shaft does not move.

• Cut a piece of grip tape about 8 inches long. Place it along the butt of the shaft, leaving about a half-inch over the end of the shaft. Wrap the tape around the shaft, making full contact for the length of the tape. Squeeze the tape together at the end of the shaft and push it slightly into the shaft to seal the end of the club.

• Squeeze solvent along the tape. Fill the grip about three-quarters full of solvent. Put your finger over the hole in the end of the grip, squeeze the grip opening closed and shake the grip so the solvent covers the entire inside. Pour the solvent along the tape and be ready to install the grip.

• Push the grip up and over the shaft butt. Hold the grip by the front and back and push using equal pressure with both hands. Once you start the grip sliding over the tape, do not stop until the grip is completely on the shaft.

• Clean any excess solvent from the grip and let it sit for an hour. Then you're ready to go play.

I want Golf Clubs ranging from 20$ to 60$ where should i go?
I want more of a driver. Where do you think i could find a nice 80$ or less one?

Neither one. Go to a yard sale, this is the only way to find a set of clubs for less than 60$.

What type of player are they meant for. Has anyone tried them so I can give an honest review?

Miura Irons are among the best clubs in the world. In years past, when a PGA Tour player did not like the irons his sponsor made, he would have Miura make him a set and stamp their sponsor's name on them (i. e., Taylormade). They've only been selling them under their actual brand name for a couple of years now, which is why they are not well known (and sometimes hard to find), along with the fact that they are very expensive (about $1200 a set).

Miura makes several models of irons. Most of them are designed for better golfers, but they have models geared towards middle and somewhat high handicappers (maybe 15 or less).

Miura are among the best of the best. I have literally never heard a person who owned a set say a bad word about them. If money is no object, or that is your price range, you should certainly look into them. I would also suggest looking into a company called Scratch Golf. They are an American company making clubs that are in the same league as Miura, and have a few different models that may better suit your game.

If you don't want to spend that kind of money, you can gets clubs almost as good for far less from custom clubmakers. I use a set of forged clubs from a company called KZ Golf that cost several hundred dollars less that Miuras, and I would not trade for anything.

Just would like to know if anyone knows of a disc (Frisbee/disc golf) store in southern Florida thanks in advance.

Well there's a great store in Clearwater, FL. It's called Gdisc.

They have a lot of used discs too.

I'm getting ready to shop & get fitted for a new set of irons. A friend of mine suggested that I check a "Golf Galaxy" store in the state where I live.

I was wanting to know if anyone else has ever been to one of their stores and what they thought of their experience.

Excellent store - their motto is "Everything For the Game" and they have about everything. Extensive line of top name equipment, they also offer PGA professional in the store to properly fit your new set of clubs, give video lessons etc. They also have simulators so you can hit all different kinds of clubs and see what you want, launch monitors, and they guarantee the lowest price. (After you buy if you see your clubs advertised for less they give you the difference). They also take trade-ins and sell used equipment and last year teamed up with Maltby Golfworks so guys who make clubs can get shop supplies, grips, shafts etc at the store. Overall the best store for golf that I have seen.

That would be 45 inches.

what is a great store to by Golf Clubs from ?

Depends on whether you already know what you want or need help in the store. My suggestion would be to find a Golfsmith, Edwin Watts, Golf Galaxy, etc. and hit a few different clubs into their net. Find what feels good and try them out. The larger stores will have used clubs or factory loaners that you can take to the course and play a round or two. Once you find something you like, go on-line to check pricing and negotiate with the store. If they offer the same price available on line, buy them from the store. If they won't, then order them on-line and save the money. Remember to factor in the shipping costs when calculating the price difference.
