Each year, golf club manufacturers launch new products aimed at making golf easier and more enjoyable. The best clubs for accomplished players are not going to benefit the average weekend golfer. Likewise, the clubs that can help beginners are not suitable for better ball strikers. Whether you are an 18 handicap or a scratch golfer, clubs are designed for your needs.
Drivers
Low handicap golfers and professionals should consider the Callaway FT Tour Driver. It produces a penetrating, low spin ball flight and provides accuracy and workability. Callaway's Hyperbolic Face Technology helps create higher ball speeds across the face for consistent distance. The Callaway FT-iZ is designed for greater forgiveness and is more suited to the average player. The lightweight body of the FT-iZ allows for weight to be moved to the perimeters of the clubhead and also behind the sweet spot. This design process resulted in a very stable and forgiving driver. The average player should also consider the Ping G15 and Adams Speedline Fast 10 drivers, both of which offer a high degree of forgiveness and distance.
Woods and Hybrids
The Titleist 910F fairway wood features SureFit technology that allows you to adjust the loft and lie of the club in order to alter the ball flight. Elite players prefer the 910F's traditional look and smaller clubhead while most players will be better suited to the Titleist 910Fd, which has a larger head and offers greater forgiveness. As of January 2011, Adams hybrids have been ranked No. 1 on the PGA Tour since 2008. The Idea Tech V3 hybrid features an ultra thin face which produces a "hotter ball flight and more distance." It also features tungsten weighting in the heel and toe for increased forgiveness. Players of any handicap should consider putting an Adams hybrid in their bag.
Irons
Callaway is renowned for producing high quality game-improvement irons. It sold more irons than any other brand for 13 years between 1997 and 2009. Callaway claims that the Diablo Edge irons are the "longest stainless steel irons" they have ever made. Because of their power and forgiveness, they are a fine set for mid- to high handicappers. Low handicappers should consider the Titleist CB irons. They are forged from 1025 carbon steel and provide a soft, solid feel and a high degree of workability. They also have a classic look with a thin top line and chrome finish which better ball strikers prefer.
Wedges
Titleist produces Vokey wedges, the No. 1 wedges on the PGA tour since 2004. The Vokey Spin Milled range feature CNC milled faces for maximum roughness. The milling process helps to create more spin, particularly on shorter wedge shots. Spin Milled wedges are available with an "unmatched number of choices for loft, bounce and sole grind" so whatever your needs are, Vokey has wedges to help your game. Vokey wedges are available in 3 different finishes, Tour Chrome, Oil Can and Black Nickel.
Putters
TaylorMade putters tend not to have a classic look. The Rossa Ghost is another in a long line of innovative designs from TaylorMade. In order to provide greater contrast between the green and the putter head, the Rossa Ghost has a white head. The Rossa Ghost also features an anti-skid groove system insert that helps to reduce backspin in the early stages of a putt. It also features perimeter weighting for increased forgiveness on mishit putts.
