But where do you begin? If you’re new to the game of golf, or even if you’re an old pro, you may want to fill your golf bag with more than just a set of clubs right off the store floor. Picking and choosing clubs is probably the most ideal way to ready yourself for the game. More often than not, using this approach of purchase will get you a set of golf clubs that’s perfect for you. And that can only translate into a better--and more enjoyable--game.[/FONT][FONT=宋体]Step 1[/FONT]Set a budget. First and foremost, before you ever set foot into any sort of golf equipment supply store, you’re going to need to know your budget--even if you feel money is no object. Having a number in your head will keep you from buying a set of irons that aren’t appropriate for your game. Though there’s a great deal of truth to “you get what you pay for,” buying the best, most expensive clubs on the market won’t necessarily help your game, because those clubs may not be right for you, your swing or your loft.Step 2Figure out your game. Probably your most valuable asset in selecting a set of irons is to understand your game, even if you’re new to the sport of golf. The information you’re able to provide to a golf pro or any associate at your local pro shop makes fitting you with the proper set of irons much easier. Even if you have no idea what your game is like, you can always rent a set of clubs and bring that information with you after you’ve played a few holes.Step 3Understand the head. Next to your game, the type of head you choose for your iron is of utmost importance. There are various types of heads available, each with their own benefits. The oversize heads are a bit more forgiving when it comes to your shots and will inevitably improve your game. The midsize heads typically are designed with a cavity-back which allows for more power in your shot, yet aren’t as accurate, but if you have good control over your game, these types of heads really let you work with the ball. Blade heads are smaller than the other two and work great for people who already have a command of the game.Step 4Choose the right shaft. Nowadays, there are three options for the shafts that make up your irons. Steel shafts are pretty much the standard when it comes to these golf clubs. They’re extremely affordable, fairly consistent and quite resilient. Most people do very well with steel shaft irons, so if you find a pair that works for you, go with them. Another option for the shaft of your irons is graphite. People looking to add some speed and/or some distance to their ball would be wise to pick up a set of graphite irons. They’re lighter and a bit pricier than steel shaft irons. You may also find that a “hybrid” of graphite and steel is best for your game. They aren’t necessarily giving you the best of both worlds, since the extreme lightness of the graphite and consistency of the steel will be somewhat lost when combined, but there is the potential to still increase the speed and distance of the ball if you have a decent handle over the club.Step 5Shop around. Once you’ve decided on the perfect set of irons, take the time to shop around. You may be able to find a set of used clubs, making the purchase not as costly. Or you may be able to find last year’s model at a reduced rate.</blockquote>
