Discussing The Types Of Golf Ball

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Have you been shopping for golf balls lately? It seems like there are more types and brands than you can count! It’s a huge business. Giants like Titleist, Callaway, and Nike do a brisk business. What is the difference between these different balls, with new ones coming out every week?

Try used balls. They’re very reasonable and work just fine. I get mine — I use Pro V1′s — from a guy here in Scottsdale. Costs me about 50% less than if I bought new, and they’re near perfect. If you don’t have a local supplier who stocks used, try online. I know that there are several websites that have great deals on used balls.

The high handicap golfer doesn’t need to bother with expensive balls anyhow. It’s just a waste of money for anyone with a handicap of 20 or higher. It makes more sense just to get cheap balls really.

Instead, if you are in the high handicap category, save money on balls and instead purchase higher quality clubs, or lessons to improve your game. Then get your balls cheap at a sporting goods store or somewhere like Target.

Golf balls that bear a company logo are also very popular, and are a great marketing tool. Put your company logo on a golf ball and people will be passing around your business name. These balls go over great at charity events, tournaments, and company functions.

Think on this. If you lose your golf ball, but it is a logo ball, whoever finds it sees your company name. It’s not the loss of a ball, it’s effective advertising.

You’d be amazed what you can put on a golf ball! Company name, logo, photos, if you can think of it someone will put it on a ball for you.

In fact, some are a bit over the top. But whatever you want for your business is fine by me. Regardless, we’ll keep buying golf balls that is for certain.

Fix Golf Slice – Add Yards To Your Drives

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Fix golf slice is a thought on many amateur golfers’ minds.  Studies reveal over 80% of all amateur golfers slice the ball.  There have been more training aids, drills and tips to fix the golf slice that I can’t even begin to count.

 

  What a frustrating situation!  Do you realize what’s causing your golf slice? If you hit a golf slice, have you taken lessons; bought any training aids, and done several drills only to still hit a slice?

 

Upon first thought, this may seem like a mechanical issue.  And it is…but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find it’s a ‘physical’ issue. A golf slice is caused by the clubface coming across the ball from outside the target line, creating side-spin on the ball. 

 

If your body has ‘physical limitations’, your swing will not be mechanically sound and swing faults will appear. You see…your body dictates your ability to swing the club efficiently.

 

If you can’t make a 90 degree shoulder turn on the backswing, you’ll do whatever it takes to feel like you are making a full turn. In the golf swing there are many compensations for lack of proper mechanics. 

 

A good example of this would be to rotate your hips beyond the desired 45 degrees to enable your body to make a full backswing.  What this does is rob you of power.  You have no torque built up in your core to unleash into the ball at impact.

 

  Here comes the banana ball! A golf slice is caused by the upper body getting ahead of the lower body, creating an “over-the-top” move, which in turn results in your clubface slashing across the ball and creating side-spin.

 

Your first inclination will be to take a lesson to fix this.  If that doesn’t work, you might buy a training aid.  If that doesn’t work you’ll buy an “offset” driver to help eliminate your golf slice.

 

Now the real answer!  Take a break on your lessons.  Don’t buy anymore training aids.  And keep your normal driver in your bag.

 

  It’s that simple.  The minute your able to separate the upper and lower body upon initial move down…you’ll see that golf slice improve dramatically. You need to work on you core rotational flexibility to be able to initiate the downswing with your lower body first, to avoid the upper body getting ahead of it.

 

A golf slice is a weak shot that does not penetrate the air for maximum distance. Along with fixing your golf slice, you’ll add up to 30 yards to your drives.  You will get more roll when the ball lands from a draw ball flight. 

 

All of my programs, dvds, and books focus on core rotational strength and flexibility which will improve your power output and eliminate swing faults.  You will not experience compensations on the golf course anymore.

 

  You will finally eliminate the thought, “fix golf slice”. When you work on your “machine”, your golf swing takes care of itself!
