Southpaw golfers unite! If you have ever wondered, there are left-handed golf club sets made just for you.
Those who were born with a dominant left hand know that this trait makes you different from the majority of right-handers. Undoubtedly you have had to live with this your entire life and either learned to use your right hand or sought out specialty products which are made especially for you. And when it comes to the game of golf, luckily there are a variety of left-handed golf clubs sets available on the market which won't cost you your right arm to purchase. In fact, there is little, if any, difference in price.
Options For Left Handed Golf Club Sets
Quality golf club sets built specifically for left-handed golfers are available from most well-known manufacturers of golf equipment. Callaway, Mizuno, Nike, and Ping are just some of the more familiar names which offer a variety of club sets outside the norm. Be aware, however, that left-handed sets are not in as much demand as others so availability may be limited. Check online if your local sporting goods or specialty store does not carry what you are looking for.
Another option for finding left-handed golf club sets is to have them custom made. This is the best, but of course the most expensive, way to go. These clubs are made to work with your specific gender, weight, height, and a measurement of the distance from wrist to floor as well as swing speed, handicap, age, and the club the golfer uses at 150 yards. If you can afford a custom set of golf clubs, then they are well worth the money and the time required for a proper fitting.
Don't Give Up the Game, Give Up the Clubs
It is a fact that many people have taken up the venerable old game of golf only to quickly become frustrated by their lack of progress in playing skills. The truth is, the majority of those who give up the game are left-handed golfers who experienced difficulty mastering skills while swinging with a club made for a totally opposite grip.
Buying left handed golf club sets is the most important thing southpaws can do to renew their interest in the game. If you've never played a round of golf with the appropriate clubs then you will never know the excitement which comes from swinging away with a driver that makes it easy to go the distance or an iron with the perfect grip.
