(4 Easy Ways)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Breaking in a golf club is a common practice for many golfers. I’ve done it but honestly not really sure if it did anything. So do you really have to break in golf clubs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, brand new golf clubs do not need to be broken in. They are ready to play with immediately after removing it from the packaging. However, we adjust ourselves to the clubs in which we play. The adjustment happens with us rather than the clubs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what adjustments do we need to make to play with our golf clubs properly<\/a>? In this article, I will explore the process that I used and how you can adjust to your new clubs properly.<\/p>\n\n\n

How do you break in new irons?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a few different methods people use to break in new irons, but the most popular way is to simply play a lot of golf<\/a> with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. When you get a new set of irons:<\/li>
  2. you want to start by hitting some short shots with them.<\/li>
  3. Get used to the feel and how they perform.<\/li>
  4. Start hitting some longer shots. Don’t try to hit too many long ones at first, just gradually increase the distance as you get more comfortable with them.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Another way to break in new irons is by using a hitting net. This is a good method if you don’t have time to go out and play golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Start by hitting some short shots, then gradually increase the distance similar to when you were on the course described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you don’t have a net, you can use a machine like the Trackman or Flightscope. They will help with swing speed, adjusting your golf swing, and just overall help your golf game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How long does it take to get adjusted to new golf clubs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Generally, it can take a few rounds of golf to really get comfortable with your new clubs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For me, I was probably about 3 rounds in before I got to the point that I did not need to think about my clubs anymore and I could focus just on playing golf and getting the ball down the fairway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I most recently did this with my new Mizuno clubs. They are forged iron clubs<\/a>, but have a stiff stainless steel club shaft. I was more accustomed to a staff with more flex so I was worried about adjusting for distances and flight patterns I was used to with my older TaylorMade clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do you adapt to new golf clubs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I can do breaking in a new wedge<\/a> or driver on the driving range. My goal is to figure out the best way to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
