Generic or Name Golf Equipment?

When it comes to golfing, are you generic or name-brand? That is, do you prefer to use generic clubs, balls, etc., or do you prefer to stay with a tried-and-true name brand?

There's not necessarily one right answer, other than what's right for you. But let's take a look at this debate. And the question to keep in mind is this: do you get more value from generic or from a brand?

It's Not Just a Golf Issue

These days, you can find nearly anything in a generic offering. From food to prescriptions to (yes) golfing equipment, the debate has gone on and on. Is generic just as good (or maybe even better) than a traditional brand name?

If you're new to golfing, if might not be the best idea to go out and buy hugely expensive golf clubs. If you're wanting a name brand, why not buy used? Golf can be an expensive sport, and getting the most for your dollar (especially in the beginning) is smart.

However, if you're hankering for brand new clubs, perhaps generic would be a good idea, if you're having to watch your dollars.

The fact of the matter is, when you start playing golf, you have to learn the whole game -- the swing, the putt, the stance, etc. So you'll have to concentrate on learning the basics before considering expensive new clubs.

Moving Up in Your Game
