A good round of golf can be one of the most relaxing activities. But throw a few bad rounds into the mix and it can suddenly become a little infuriating.
The best golf clubs will help minimise those moments and, although won't automatically turn you into a pro, will definitely help to improve your game.
You'll need a driver (also known as woods) to hit that ball off the tee for a good start; irons and fairway woods for the approach to the green, and a putter for use on the green itself.
Hybrid clubs, designed to be a mixture between woods and irons, are now often also used too, being easier to hit than long irons, and greater loft (the angle of the club face that controls trajectory and affects distance) than fairway woods.
Whether you're looking to upgrade an iron or buy a whole new set, we've rounded up the best golf clubs below for a more enjoyable game (almost) every time...
