How do teens choose golf clubs?
There are basically two ways to shop for junior golf clubs: by age and by height. While most manufacturers offer their sets by age range, it is more accurate to shop by height. Selecting your junior golf clubs by height will result in a more appropriate fit, since your junior may be small or tall for his/her age range.

How do I choose golf clubs for the class?
To figure out which golf club to use for a particular shot, you need to know the average distance you hit a ball with each golf club in your set. Then, you simply choose the golf club that fits the distance you need to hit. The best way to find out is to hit about 50 balls with each club.
Should I hit wood or hybrid?
Fairway woods have a broader sole and larger head than hybrids and are hit further, but lower. Hybrids are more forgiving and easier to hit than long irons or fairway woods. Hybrids are typically used to replace some of the more difficult to hit long irons in the average golfer’s bag.
Should I carry a fairway wood or a hybrid?
If you hit the ball high and far then fairway woods will be good for you. If you like the idea of something giving you a little help to get the ball in the air that will be easier to hit, the hybrids are for you. Many golfers will see a benefit from having a three wood and having a more lofted hybrid.
Do you hit a hybrid like an iron?
Hybrids are easier to hit in the center of the face, and they fly higher and land softer than long irons, which is crucial on lengthy approach shots. The key to hitting a hybrid well is to swing it like an iron, not a fairway wood.
Can you hit a hybrid out of rough?
One of the biggest benefits of using hybrids is that they are very easy to hit out of the rough, even if your ball ends up in the thick stuff. When you’re hitting a hybrid out of the rough there are three main changes. The first is grip, make sure to grip the club with more pressure than normal.
Should you hit down on hybrids?
A lot of bad shots with the hybrids come from poor setup positions like ball position and shoulder position. The reason the shoulder position is important is that you want to hit down with a hybrid, not up, and if you tilt your shoulders up too much (to try to sweep it off the ground), more than likely you will top it.
