The Science in Women’s Golf Clubs

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Robert Riles asked:


Creating women’s golf clubs is meticulous a task in the sense that the woman-specific features of golf clubs are increasingly becoming more complicated. The demands to meet the needs of women golfers are growing as more and more women get into golf, nowadays.

Women’s golf clubs may be lightweight or not. Each characteristic is aimed at achieving certain goals. For example, heavier golf clubs are designed to achieve greater control while lightweight clubs are made for higher swing speed and to cover more distance.

Lengths of women’s golf clubs also have their specific reason. Obviously, shorter clubs are for smaller players while longer clubs are for taller ones. Any mismatch is predicted to bring inconvenience or lesser proficiency on the part of the player.

Women’s golf clubs (such as iron, wood and wedge) are of different designs. Usually, woods for lady golfers are lighter. The same is true with irons and wedges. The reason is that women have different physique and physical strength as compared to men.

The necessity to pick the right golf clubs becomes more evident as a player progresses in terms of proficiency. This is because she becomes more conscious with the technicality and science of the game. But, beginners must also acquaint themselves in these art and technicalities so they won’t have difficulty when they become more experienced players.

Women’s golf clubs may be regular or discount clubs. You can choose from a wide array of offers online and pick the right set for your personal needs. There are also slightly used and brand new clubs offered for every type of women golfers.

Great deals and attractive offers are available online. You can collect as many details as necessary so you can have a more informed decision as to which clubs you are going to buy. The best way to do this act of getting the right clubs is to make comparison of the different offers made by online shops.

If you have the luxury of time you can also drop by at your nearest golf shops so you can see for real the women’s golf clubs they offer. You can ask them about their offers so that you can get the best buy.

Deciding the right clubs, for novice or professionals, plays a significant role in the degree of performance of a golfer. This is why professionals stress so much on the kind and features of golf clubs golfers use. For every specific situation of actual golfing, there is a perfect club that will greatly improve the quality of hitting the ball. Golf indeed is an intricate game.

Women’s golf clubs have designs specifically geared to suit their taste in same way that men’s golf clubs have.

Getting Fitted to Play your Best Golf

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Kennard McGill asked:


Taking that leap from a high handicap golfer to a low handicap golfer can come down to having the right clubs in your hands.

Golfers come in all sizes and shapes. Yet there are a lot of golfers who attempt to play the game of golf with clubs that do not match their body type or swing style.

When it comes to playing your best game hitting a bucket of balls at the golf-range or practicing your chip shot for hours will not help if the clubs you are using are not the right length or type.

Having properly fitted clubs can dramatically increase your level of play. When your body type and club length are matched you will find hitting the ball with your natural swing is a lot easier. The golf swing will often separate a low handicap golfer from a high handicap golfer.

The clubs you buy in a pro shop are usually one size fits all and are generally geared toward golfers of average build and weight who can hit a 6 iron about 160 yards. So before you invest in buying golf clubs spend a little time in a pro shop and ask a professional what type of clubs may be right for your size and height.

Custom fitting involves some key factors that can be learned from an assessment of your game by either someone in a golf pro shop or a golf teaching professional. The most common elements taken into account include: gender, height, and distance from your wrist to the floor, age, and handicap or skill level, in addition to some other factors.

Gender determines the correct fitting scale for standard length clubs. Then your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to determine the length of a set of golf club that is appropriate for you. On average about 80% of golfers is standard length.

All of these dimensions ultimately can determine the type club shaft and length appropriate for you.

Club fitting does not take a long time to do. You can get fitted for golf clubs in some cases in 15-20 minutes. Yet depending on the pro shop and the skill level of your game you can sometimes spend a half hour to a day getting fitted for clubs.

Usually there is no cost associated with club fitting at a pro shop. Pro shops are going to fit you especially if you intend to buy clubs from them. Yet you may still run into some golf shops that will charge a fee.

Once you know the type of clubs you should have you also can buy your golf clubs online.

You can find different shaft type and dimensions for golf clubs on most online golf retail shops.

Understanding the types of clubs you need and the proper lengths will go a long way in improving your game.

I made an appointment at one of our local golf shops to get my speed tested when swinging my driver. He said he can get the spin of the ball and some other things tested while I do this. Of course its not free but is it worth it??

What and where can I find the ink that is used to fill in the numbers on the bottom of the golf club?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

joon asked:


After hitting from the rough a few times I noticed that on the bottom of a couple of my golf clubs the paint filling was partially scratched off and I can’t seem to find a place that sells the “paint”. I’m sure I can go into any repair shop and have it done, but it doesnt seem like a hard thing to do as long as I have the paint. Anyone know where they’d sell it either retail or online? I’m located in the Bay Area.
