How often should i replace my golf clubs?

i'm a beginner golfer and just bought a beginner golf set. when i start getting more serious with the sport, i'm probably going to want to start replacing clubs forming my own set...but what is the time line of when i replace clubs? when do i replace the driver? the irons? the woods? hybrids? what is the average time span?How often should i replace my golf clubs?If properly cared for golf clubs should last several years. As time goes by you will need to have the grips replaced at a cost of about $5 per grip. As far as when to upgrade, that will depend on you. As your game improves and you get more interested in the sport you will want to upgrade to better quality clubs. There's no real time line for this, it's more a matter of personal choice. When you're ready and can afford it, go ahead and upgrade.



The two clubs that are probably replaced the most are your driver and your putter. I've had the same set of irons for about 6 years but have changed both my driver and putter twice during that time frame.How often should i replace my golf clubs?
since it is a beginner set, I you will have to replace them when they break obviously. As for upgrading, it is different for everyone. I have noticed that older people don't change clubs as often as younger people do. I buy a new club about 2-3 times a year. I also get some for presents.How often should i replace my golf clubs?I would worry about breaking 100 before you think about buying any more clubs. Manufacturers basically tweak clubs through the years. Replacing them every 5 years would be pretty safe just to keep up with the technology. Or if you are lucky you will find "The Ones". I have an old set of Ping Zing 2's (15 years old) that I play with that I don't think I will ever give up. Good luck to you.How often should i replace my golf clubs?
There is no need to replace clubs if you are doing well with the ones you have. In the event you now want to get a complete set be sure that they are matched, conform to your strength and swing speed, have the proper flex in the shafts and feel good when you swing them, being neither too light or too heavy. In 75 years playing the game and a member at a country club for 52 years I have owned 4 sets of woods and 5 sets of irons. Two of each were replacements since two of my sons laid claim to a set each.How often should i replace my golf clubs?You should use your current golf clubs until you outgrow them, with clubs that are properly suited for you, you should be able to have little or no bend in your knees standing straight up with the blade of your irons flat on the ground.
