What is the functional difference between oversized and regular golf clubs?
Regular is good, believe in me, I am the seller of clubs. Maybe ebayoyo can help you.
I assume you mean that the heads are over-sized. If that is the case, the difference is that over-sized clubs tend to be more forgiving — that is, they have a larger sweet spot. Depending on how skilled a player you are, this is either a good thing or a bad thing: if you do not hit the ball consistently, over-sized heads might help you keep the ball in the fairway more. However, you lose the ability to shape shots.
For example, I’m a pretty low handicapper, so I want to be able to control whether the ball draws, fades, goes high, or stays low. I can’t do that too well with over-sized clubs because they cancel out the things that make the ball spin the way I need it to.
Oversized are easier to hit. Since you don’t know the difference between the two it would indicate that you are not that experienced or highly skilled at golf – so you are probably best to go with the oversized model.
