glad ive found a golf forum.. anyone from malaysia?
ive just started my lessons a month ago.. planning to buy my very 1st golf set now..
any tips for buying my 1st set??
Welcome to the forum...I am in Jakarta, not quite Malaysia but close...my biggest tip is to buy from a good golf shop so as to ensure that you are getting originals and not copies...other than that you really can't go badly wrong with a first set
Welcome to the forum. I agree with Bigvivec as well, about going to a good golf shop. THe only thing I would add is have your self fitted professionally and your swing analyzed so you can get a properly fitted set for your body and swing....Good luck!!!
Hi, Clubs are made especially for women now. Fitting for clubs is normally free. I have started watching the LPGA (Lady's Professional Golf Tour). They awesome! I would highly recommend you watch them too. Then you can see what clubs are tour quality. Consider buying last years model or top quality used clubs. The cost is more reasonable. Welcome to golf rewind!

Which part of Malaysia are you from? In KL there are a lot of good pro shop where you can get good sets. But you must know that expensive clubs doesn't mean good, but its rather depend on your swing. But for a beginner try to get something in the range of RM2000 first, a graphite shaft with a regular stiff. Most clubs in Asia are made from Japanese shaft which is more lighter and easier to handle. But as time goes by most golfers will upgrade to stiffer shaft once they learned how to handle it.
But if you want some more lasting investment youcan try to custom fit your clubs, there are a few in Malaysia, I know one.
wow.. im so glad that so many of you responded. thank you so much..
andru, Im from KL! which shop should i go to? A friend of mine was telling me to get the cheapest beginner set i can find, play with it for a while and after i get better, i'll have a better idea of what kind of clubs i want.. then i can buy a better set..
