The better the shaft,
The better the shaft, the better the club.
The biggest game improvement clubs on the market today are called Shallow face metalwoods. Due to their low centre of gravity they are easy to hit and very accurate.
Beginners may find the 2 and 3 irons difficult to hit, therefore if you are going to buy a set, you should think about replacing those with a 5, 7 or 9 wood, preferably shallow face models.
Unless you see yourself as short or tall you should always buy standard length clubs, these allow players to hit the ball on center a higher percentage of the time, thus increasing distance and accuracy.
The shaft flex (?flex? refers to refers to the ability of a golf shaft to bend as forces are applied to it during the golf swing.) is very important for the feel of a club, and does have an effect on distance. The following information may help you work out which flex is right for you (some golf shops can measure your swing speed if you don?t know it).

There are 3 main types of shaft to choose from:
Steel shafts
Due to a more advanced manufacturing process, steel shafts offer consistent quality from shaft to shaft and are more durable, stronger and generally less expansive than graphite.
