The Value of Golf Club Reviews
Golf is a very hands on type of game and if you are a golfer there are many resources available to you to help you choose the equipment, accessories, and even the golf course that is right for you. There are many excellent golf magazines out there and an army of touring professionals and top instructors that offer golf club reviews. As an amateur you want to use golf club reviews done by professionals to find out the things about your prospective new set of clubs that you may not be able to see on your own.
This is where the accessibility of the touring professionals and instructors becomes a great asset to every golfer and this hands on approach taken by those that really know the game could be one of the main reasons why golf has grown into one of the most popular games in the world today. It is in your best interest to follow the exploits of your favorite touring pro and then use their golf club reviews to find the clubs that may help you get the same results they get, or at least improve your game a little.
One of the things that many people seem to dislike about golf club reviews is that there are sponsorships involved and that can cause a bias towards certain clubs. But if you can read past the bias you can find valuable information in many of the admittedly skewed golf club reviews out there that, once again, you would not be able to notice on your own. It is still the reputation of the touring pro on the line so if they recommend shoddy equipment then their future as a product pitch person may be limited. But if you are still uncomfortable taking the advice of a sponsored pro then you can always turn to the teachers.
Those That Know, Teach
While most golf instructors are certified PGA professionals they are usually not sponsored and it is for this reason that their opinion is coveted by many golf club manufacturers. A little research will point you towards the instructors that everyone listens to and you can use their golf club reviews to find out which clubs you may want to buy and what to look for when you are purchasing your new equipment.
Without an allegiance to a sponsor the highly trained instructor's opinion becomes very valuable to the amateur player. Always read a lot of golf club reviews before deciding on which equipment to try out. Try and gauge the negative aspects of some golf club reviews versus the positive aspects of others. It is all valuable information that you can use to your advantage when looking for new equipment.
