Good clubs will help to improve your game.  New advancements in golf club technologies make lighter, bigger, and better golf clubs available to the experienced as well as inexperienced golfer. 

[1] How do you know what to look for in golf clubs? For the novice golfer, the basic set of golf clubs consists of drivers, wedges, putters and irons. Beginners will need to use the proper type of club to speed up the learning process. Different clubs are designed for different purposes, such as improving swing speed, and correcting faults to improve your score.  You must take into consideration the style, size, and type of material used to make the golf club shaft. Steel is always a cheaper material. Golf clubs with a steel shaft weigh more but can be longer-lasting than other types. More control is achieved with a steel shaft due to less flex. Graphite shafts are lighter than steel, but also more expensive. This type of club is used for long distance shots or for slower swingers.   Most golf clubs are available with both steel and graphite shafts. Keep in mind that graphite shafts will not only be lighter and easier to handle, they will also be more forgiving if you have a bad shot.Vibration is absorbed to give you a better feel.Plus, the lighter materials allows for greater swing speeds.

The flexibility of a shaft is referred to as flex, or bend. The less the bend in a shaft, the more control the powerful swinger will have. On the other hand, beginners and those with less powerful swings generally use a shaft with greater flexibility. 65 mph is an average swing speed for beginners. Advanced swings can top 100 mph.
When it comes to selecting a golf club driver, especially as a beginner, you will probably want one with a head made out of titanium.Titanium has many advantages over steel allowing for a larger head with the same amount of material.A larger head on your driver gives you a bigger sweet spot, or area to hit the ball with.This type of club head allows for more forgiving shots.

The goal when buying golf clubs should be to [2] own the best golf clubs you can afford, whether they are name brands, used, or a reproduction of one of the name brands.
