Drivers

Beginner golfers should look for a driver that will provide a lot of forgiveness at impact, especially on mishits. Also look for a lightweight model, it should make it easier to hit for golfers with slower swing speeds. To cater to beginners’ needs, Dylan focused on forgiveness and ease of swing with his choices.

Titleist TSi1 Driver

The Titleist TSi1 Driver is ultra-lightweight and designed for players with moderate swing speeds, offering easy launch and increased distance. Its aerodynamic shape and advanced face technology provide impressive speed and forgiveness.

Mizuno ST-X 230 Driver

The Mizuno ST-X 230 Driver features a draw-biased design with a lightweight carbon crown for optimized launch and spin. Its modern construction delivers exceptional speed and forgiveness, making it ideal for players seeking distance with control.

Fairway Woods

When it comes to fairway woods, beginners should look for a lightweight model that will provide a lot of forgiveness at impact. Also, consider the sole of that model since you’ll need to hit your fairway wood from the ground. Here again, Dylan focused on forgiveness and ease of swing with his choices.

TaylorMade M6 D-Type Fairway Wood

The TaylorMade M6 D-Type Fairway Wood offers a draw-biased design to reduce slices and promote straighter shots. Its Twist Face technology and low center of gravity ensure forgiveness and easy launch from various lies.

Hybrids

Picking a hybrid golf club as a beginner is much easier than you may think. You should keep the forgiveness and lightweight focus of the woods, but also consider that hybrids could possibly replace your long irons. They are much easier to hit and control, and Dylan’s selections are no exception.

Callaway Steelhead XR Hybrid

The Callaway Steelhead XR Hybrid delivers distance and versatility with its compact shape and Hyper Speed Face Cup. Ideal for long shots from various lies, it’s a dependable hybrid for players of all levels.

TaylorMade SIM2 Max Rescue Hybrid

The TaylorMade SIM2 Max Rescue Hybrid is designed for versatility and forgiveness, with a V Steel sole for improved turf interaction and Twist Face technology to help correct off-center hits.

Iron Sets

Your irons are the heart of your set and you’ll be using them a lot as a beginner, so be sure to pick an iron set that suits your needs as a beginner. Once again, focus on forgiveness and lightweight feel, but also take the clubhead shapes into account. Big bulky clubheads are your friends as a beginner, and cavity-back designs will suit you just as well!

Cleveland Launcher XL Iron Set

The Cleveland Launcher XL Irons feature a forgiving, oversized design with a high MOI for improved accuracy and distance. They are perfect for players seeking easy-to-hit clubs that maximize performance.

TaylorMade Stealth Iron Set

The TaylorMade Stealth Irons prioritize distance and forgiveness with Cap Back Design and a low center of gravity. These irons offer a sleek look and consistent performance across the set.

Wedges

When it comes to picking your wedges as a beginners, you’ll want to consider the same aspects as you would with an iron, but in the case of wedges, the blade profile vs. bulky design debate is not as critical. As long as your wedge have decent grooves, you’ll be able to work on your short game.

Putters

The cherry on top, the putter is a unique club as you’re not looking at as many factors as you would with any other club type. In the case of putters for beginners, you’re always better off with a mallet model (the ones with bulky clubhead heads). These will provide you with more stability through the swing for more consistent results on the green.

TaylorMade Spider GTX Silver #3 Putter

The TaylorMade Spider GTX Silver #3 Putter delivers stability and alignment in a sleek mallet design. Its premium finish and Pure Roll insert provide excellent feel and roll on the greens.
