Find your best golf equipment with FindTheBest.com
The paradox of choice is an interesting concept. In short, it says that the more choices you give a consumer, the more difficult it becomes to make a purchase decision. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of golf equipment. In theory, the vast array of clubs and tools on the market today should be a good thing. However, it is often highly difficult for the average golfer to sift through this sea of options and settle on a set of clubs that meets their needs.
Enter FindTheBest, an online comparison engine that offers a new tool for comparing drivers (as well as a similar tool that helps compare putters). This useful tool gives users the ability to sort and filter the driver listings (more than 1,000 in total) based on a series of important data points. This post will outline a couple key things to look for when shopping for a driver via FindTheBest.com.
The first think to think about when looking for a driver is the loft of the club head. Experienced golfers usually go with lower lofted drivers because they want to maximize their distance off the tee. For less experienced players, who need help getting the ball airborne, higher lofts are usually the way to go. By selecting one of four options on the left side of the screen, users can focus their search on a loft (or lofts) that they feel are right for them.
After deciding on a loft, the shaft flex should be considered. There are four flex options listed on the FindTheBest driver comparison: women’s, regular, stiff, and extra stiff. Experienced golfers (who generate high swing speeds) will want a stiff, highly consistent shaft. Golfers with lower swing speeds should look for more flex so that they can generate more distance off the tee.
One final thing to keep in mind when comparing drivers is the volume of the club head. Not surprisingly, large club heads offer a bigger, more forgiving sweet spot. However, it is important to remember that smaller sweet spots can provide more consistency and increase the energy that is transferred on contact.
After your have decided on a driver, there are a few extra ways that you can save money on your purchase. Because, drivers can be such expensive products, it’s a good idea to look for websites that offer discounts on golf clubs. It is also not a bad idea to shop around a little bit, as prices will vary slightly from retailer to retailer.
Buying new equipment is an important process for any golfer, but it shouldn’t be a stressful one. If you use the tools outlined above, you can save both time and money when shopping for clubs.
