Best Golf Set Configuration for Advanced Golfer
As an advanced, their game is strong but ready for fine tuning. It's all
about the details for them. They hit most shots pretty solid. Now they
want to be able to work the ball and control trajectory better. They hit
8-10 greens in regulation but to hit more they'll need clubs they can
really feel.
Their drives are consistent but a little extra distance wouldn't hurt.
Those par 5s are starting to be reachable in 2 especially if they only
had just a bit more distance.
Their long irons are sometimes strong but still inconsistent. Those
200-230 yard shots to the green can still be a challenge.
From 100 yards in they are very strong. They just need to fine tune
those wedges and get the most short game options possible.
The Ideal Set for Advanced
The ideal set for an advanced player would start with some Players
Irons. These clubs have less perimeter weighting and a thinner topline.
They have minimal offset and a more traditional look. They are easy to
move the ball right to left and left to right. They can really feel the
ball and tell where it's going.
Driver would have a little less loft (9-10 degrees). Make sure the shaft
is correct for their swing speed and ball flight. The trial and error
process may be required to get the shaft that feels just right to them.
Fairway woods and long irons are the critical clubs to make those long
par 4s and par 5 reachable. They may want to find that perfect 3 wood
for the par 5s and that 2 hybrid for high soft-landings on those long
par 4s. This may also take some trial and error and certainly a solid
club fitting.
Their wedge options are where the details start to really count. Finding
the right combination of loft, feel and bounce to fit their requirements
is the name of the game. Much depends on what loft they have on their
pitching wedge. They want 5-6 degrees between clubs up from there.
For an advanced player, custom fitting of shafts and club lofts to their
game requirements becomes much more important. They want to make sure
they can cover every 10-15 yards down from their longest club. They also
want to be able to control trajectory for whatever shot requirements pop
up - high and soft for small or hard greens and low and boring for wind
and knock downs.
