Choosing the Right Golf Club for You

2010-03-09T15:32:00.000-08:00

Selecting the right golf club is essential to scoring your best game. The fit and type of your clubs can drastically impact your performance as well as your style of play.

As described in the video, the first consideration you want to make with your club is the shaft. Most experts recommend a graphite club shaft for lightweight, strong performance, especially for your drivers.

Also think about getting a hybrid club. Hybrid golf clubs replace the long irons of past years. The structure of hybrids helps the ball achieve more elevation and the club has a larger "sweet spot" than traditional clubs.

Think about buying a 20- or 24-degree hybrid club. Try to stay away from steel shafts because they vibrate more than graphite clubs, which reduces the comfort of players and the length of time that you can play.

History of Ping Golf Clubs

2010-03-02T14:05:00.000-08:00

PING golf clubs have an incredibly rich and inspiring history. The company began in the garage of Karsten Solheim, an engineer for General Electric. Solheim was frustrated with golf because he considered the putters on the market inadequate.

He made his own, naming it the "Ping 1A" because of the pinging sound the putter made when it struck the golf ball. The club would receive a great deal of attention because of its innovative "heel-toe" weighting.

Solheim moved his business to Phoenix, Arizona, where the company remains headquartered to this day. Despite the mounting sales of PING putters, Solheim continued to produce the clubs in his garage.

Probably the most significant event in PING's history was when Solheim received an epiphany for a new putter design, which he sketched on a record album cover. That putter would come to be known as the "Anser," the most influential and winningest putter in the history of golf.

Understanding Different Golf Club Components

2010-02-02T10:04:00.000-08:00

Beginner golfers tend to think of a golf club as just a head attached to a handle. In reality, many different golf club components comprise a typical club, and we'll explain a few of the main parts in this post.

The three basic parts of a club are the grip, the shaft, and the head. The grip is found at the top of the club and is where the player places his/her hands. Clubs today come with a wide variety of grip materials to accommodate the preferences of the player.

The next component is the shaft, or the area that connects the grip to the head of the club. Most shafts are made out of graphite or steel. The shaft material will determine how flexible it is.

The bottom portion of the club that actually hits the ball is called the club head. Heads will vary in size and shape considerably depending on the type of club (e.g., putter, driver, iron, etc.).

Secrets of the Proper Way to Swing a Golf Club

2010-02-01T09:01:00.000-08:00

If you've ever watched an amateur and a professional swing a golf club, you know there is a distinct difference. As explained in the video, the proper way to swing a golf club is to start the downswing with the hips.

Most beginners make the mistake of forcing the club toward the ball with all of their muscle groups at the same time. Specifically, many amateurs overuse their arm and chest muscles in their swings.

To correct this mistake, it's important to lead with your lower body when you begin the downswing. This opens up a path for the elbows to come through without hitting the hips and interfering with the swing.

Remember that your finishing form is as important as how you begin the swing. Your back foot should be resting on your toes and your stomach should be pointed toward the goal.

How to Buy Ladies Golf Clubs

2010-01-29T15:29:00.000-08:00

Women tend to be shorter than men and also have smaller hands. These characteristics call for clubs that are lighter and shorter than traditional clubs.

When buying ladies golf clubs, what to look for will depend on the type of club you need. For example, ladies woods are typically lightweight in order to maximize distance and swing speed.

Most of the time, unless a club specifies a height, a women's golf club is designed to accommodate people between 5'5" and 5'9". If you're a woman in the market for irons, you might choose utility woods instead.

Utility woods are sometimes easier to control than irons. For short-game clubs, women 5'5" and under should look for a 33-inch putter. For taller women, it's a matter of preference.

Simple Steps on How to Swing a Golf Club

2010-01-15T11:51:00.000-08:00

Learning to swing a golf club properly is actually not that difficult. Follow these steps on how to swing a golf club, and you'll be ready to enjoy golf like never before.

When you begin, stand with a neutral back and your feet shoulder-width apart. On the back swing, rotate your torso and set your leading wrist so you create a 90-degree angle between the shaft and your lead forearm.

In the down swing, haul your club head so it follows behind everything else and increase the 90-degree angle you've created. When you reach the impact area, unwind the angle quickly to create as much speed as possible.

Once you hit the ball, your belt buckle should face the target squarely, the club should be behind you, and you should be planted on your lead foot with your back foot balanced on your toes.

The Need for Golf Club Grips

2009-12-09T00:31:00.000-08:00

Golf Club Grips are an essential part of the entire club and many people forget about it. They worry more about the head of the driver because they want to hit the ball very far. The grip is very important because it helps your hands make sure that they are holding onto the club securely. On top of that, it also helps you to become familiar with the exact grip. The grips can cost anywhere from 5 bucks up to 100 bucks. The more expensive ones are custom made and you can put anything you want on it. So, do not forget your grip today!

Offset Golf Clubs are Different

2009-12-02T06:32:00.000-08:00

Now, why would anyone want to use offset golf clubs? That is the question that I ask myself to many other people. The reason is that some people do not have the same kind of arms. What I mean by this is that their arm lengths are different. Therefore, they need different offset golf clubs to help them compensate for this. What these clubs will do is allow the user to hold the club differently from the normal club. It will adjust for the different in arm length and allow you to hit as well as before. You will have to try it out.

Kids Golf Clubs can Cost a Lot

2009-11-24T01:14:00.000-08:00

The thing with kids golf clubs is that they will most likely grow out of it within a few months. So, it is not a good idea to go and buy them some custom clubs that needs to be fitted to their measurements. I bet if you did this, you will see that they will not be able to use the club within half a year. So, what you should do instead is just let them buy some used clubs and see how it goes. They will be able to practice their skills this way without costing you a lot of money. So, you can take my advice or leave it.

Golf Clubs for Sale can be Found Online

2009-11-16T17:33:00.000-08:00

Hybrid Golf Clubs are Not what You Think

2009-11-09T13:02:00.000-08:00

It seems that the new hybrid golf clubs are the in thing for golfers to use now. Many that use it say that their game has improved greatly because of the clubs. Now, I think that may be partly true, but I also think that the improvement is due to a psychological factor. However, these clubs are still in the testing phase and the verdict is not out yet. These hybrid golf clubs are a combination of different metals fused together to form the club. The new alloy allows for the club to be ultra light and also very powerful.

Have a Complete Golf Club Set

2009-11-04T12:22:00.000-08:00

If you do not have a complete golf club set, then people will think that you are cheap and give you dirty looks. The reason I say this is because the game of golf is more than just a game. Sure, you have to be able to control where you hit the ball. But, there is also a lot of style that goes into the game. What this means is that people will look at how you dress and what kind of clubs you are using. They will then judge you based on this. If you pass the test, then people will like to play with you.

Ping Golf Clubs are still the Best

2009-10-26T23:28:00.000-07:00

I must say that ping golf clubs are still the best in the world. There have been many new companies that have sprung up to compete with Ping, but nothing compares. Other places have put in years of research, but they still cannot match the quality of Ping. I am not biased, just go ahead and ask any of the pro golfers. They will tell you that they like to use Ping clubs more than any other club. The reason behind this is that Ping is full of hard working people who love their jobs. It is really that simple.

Golf Club Distances Vary a Lot

2009-10-21T20:34:00.000-07:00

You need to figure out your golf club distances in order to maximize your game. Think of it like this, if you are basketball player, you need to know how well you shoot, dribble, jump, pass, and etc. This type of thinking applies to golf too. You need to know how far you can hit the ball with each club in order to know which clubs to use for which situations. Trust me; it will improve your game by a lot. Once you have that figured out, keep the info in mind and begin to apply it. You will see vast improvements.
