Golf Equipment \u2013 Clubs<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Golf has entered a new technological era with terms such as launch angle, spin rates and COR ratings in almost daily use.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturers will attempt to convince you that they can save you \u2018shots\u2019 and reduce your handicap if you use their clubs, shoes, gloves, socks, etc but in reality the time and money spent on equipment and tuition will be wasted if you attempt to play with clubs not suited to your \u2018automatic swing\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other than a well-fitted and maintained grip the most important part of a golf club is the shaft, especially for the long irons and metal woods.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Golfers with a high swing tempo and fast hands should avoid regular or \u2018whippy\u2019 shafts, using instead stiff or firm shafts and only the older golfer should consider using graphite-shafted irons.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How does this type of thing impact on the way you think I hear you ask?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am sure that you have all heard the words \u201cI always do that with this club\u201d after a bad shot has been played by an opponent or partner<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have such a club in your bag remove it and check for what is different to the other clubs in the set (loft, lie, swing-weight, etc) BUT do not attempt to use it because under pressure you will carry negative thoughts about the club and the shot to be played.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that to continue to do the same thing repeatedly and expect a different result can only result in frustration and a loss of confidence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Contrary to this if you have a favourite club in your bag, use it in pressure situations because you will approach the shot with more confidence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Confidence is POWER and you cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought on the golf course.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
