When it comes to golfers looking to get in on the game or upgrade their existing clubs, it generally comes down to two options – put together piece by piece from various brands (whether new or used) or get everything at once with a set package.
Now, there are certainly options for beginners regardless of whether you go piece by piece or package set, but what most golfers don’t realize is that there are advanced package sets loaded with technology that can offer a lot of benefits, so let’s dive in.
Golf set benefits
One of the biggest benefits when buying a bundle set of clubs is the opportunity to save money because you are buying everything at once, in most cases this includes a bag, which when factored into the bundled price if purchased individually usually comes at a significant discount compared to buying it separately.
The same goes for the clubs themselves because most club sets include only the clubs that are most important to the skill level of the golfer who is buying them. For entry beams that generally means a half set of iron, sweetwood, driver and putter.
On the other end of the spectrum, high end package sets for more advanced golfers still offer less than 14 clubs but are usually in the 10 to 12 club range and leave the option open for the golfer to choose something like a putter individually.
The reason most racquets are sold separately from pack sets, especially those on the premium end of the market, is that a racquet can be a very personal thing to choose based on look, feel, grip preference, and even the inclusion of materials. So instead of offering a club that a golfer might not like, golfers are given the freedom to make that decision.
Can you get fit for the pack set?
This is where things can get a little tricky, because in a lot of cases you can’t fit into what’s considered the traditional way, but on the other hand packages are inherently designed to suit a particular market segment, whether that be golfers for men or women.
To go along with that, any premium package combo gives golfers the opportunity to find the right flex shaft for them and in some cases custom grips so they don’t need to be replaced immediately after purchase.
Finally, from a convenience perspective, a bundle of clubs helps with one aspect of golf that most players really struggle with – the club gap. Given that most club combinations focus not only on finding the right clubs but also the correct gaps between the clubs in the set, a package set helps eliminate this process because it is intentionally designed from the start to help a golfer get a club for any distance.
This is especially true of combos that remove irons and replace them with more forgiving hybrids and higher fairway woods to help golfers hit them higher, farther, and land softer.
So whether you’re a beginner golfer or a more advanced player looking to upgrade your collection, considering group packages may not only be more convenient, and save you money, but it may be the perfect solution to help you play your best golf.
