Helpful tips

A simple toe-wiggling exercise can reveal potential faults in a golfing stance. If wiggling the toes is difficult when the golfer prepares to swing, it indicates that he or she is leaning too far in towards the ball. Golfers should lean back until they feel some play in their feet to get proper posture.

If your ball lands right next to a wall or other obstacle that makes it impossible to position yourself behind it, you may have to hit a backhander. Facing the opposite direction of your target, straighten your arm and use a wedge club to strike the ball squarely so that it lands precisely where you want it to.

If you’re just taking up the game of golf, invest in some professional lessons. Developing an accurate golf swing is extremely difficult to do on your own. A professional can tell you exactly what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right. Once you develop a golf swing, it’s hard to make changes. By taking lessons from a professional, you’ll get it right the first time.

A helpful tip when it comes to golfing is to make sure that you surround yourself around people who enjoy golf if you want to better yourself. There is no better way to improve your game than to have the positive support of your peers. You will find that you practice more and are more interested with you can share your stories with other people.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to be sure to remove the flag pole from the hole whenever putting. This is important because having the pole in the hole may actually prevent the ball from going in when putting. It is intended only for guidance when hitting from far off.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to make sure that you protect the heads of your golf clubs with covers. This is important so that they are not damaged by contact with other clubs and anything else that may come into contact with them. This also helps to cut down on the amount of noise caused when moving your carrying case around.

Q&A: 1-iron vs. driver? Ten Points?

Question by Jean-Louis: 1-iron vs. driver? Ten Points?
I have been golfing for 5 years now. I’m 16 and I can’t hit my driver. I completely smash my 1-iron its straight and long. So my question is why can’t I hit my driver? I have a Callaway Big Bertha 454 driver. Its 11* loft and has a RHC light shaft. I don’t know my exact club head speed but it isn’t that fast. I choke down on every club in my bag including my 1 iron. I hit my 1-iron 200 yds and my driver goes 50ft. then drastically turns right. should I even bother with my driver anymore?
The 50ft. was an exageration.

Best answer:

Answer by Adam E.
The swing between irons and driver for me has always been slightly different. I try to keep the driver near the ground as long as possible during my backswing, this allows me to have a better plane to hit the ball on the follow through.

Which driver should I buy? (loft, draw, etc.)?

Question by Ryan B: Which driver should I buy? (loft, draw, etc.)?
Hi all… just in the market for a new driver to help out my golf game. I currently shoot in the high 80′s to low 90′s. My irons are Nike Slingshot OSS and I absolutely love them. I have an older Callaway Big Bertha driver, but I’m looking to replace it. I’m pretty sure that I’m settled on a Taylor Made Burner Driver, but I’m just not sure what configuration I want. For example, should I get the 9.5 or 10.5 degree club? Also, should I go for the Draw version or the regular version? As of now, I don’t slice the ball too bad, but it does fade on occassion. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Best answer:

Answer by
I would just stick to what you Callaway driver was in loft, but i would get a 10.5. The Taylormade Burner is a really nice driver. If i were you i would just get the regular one because you do not slice that much. If you want to hit a draw though then get the draw.

TaylorMade, probably. Wal-mart clubs are fine too since I made a hole-in-one with them last year. And I suck.

Need a new driver. Slice and control problems, looking for driver to help fix it.?

Question by macnkitty2002: Need a new driver. Slice and control problems, looking for driver to help fix it.?
I am looking to purchase a new driver for my set. Here’s some info that may help you help me:
Age: 19
Height: 6′-1″
Weight: 200
Build: Fit, very strong, tennis player
Typical driver distance (using 90% power): 200-210yd
Typical 7 iron distance: 150yd
Irons: Ping Eye 2
Woods: Callaway Big Bertha War Bird 2, graphite shafts, 10 degree driver

I’ve been playing golf for most of my life, but don’t get to play but about once per month. I have a problem with shots off the tee where I have to use a good bit of power. When I need to use power, all my control goes out the window and I end up hitting it to the right (about 25 degrees off center) or slicing the heck out of it. And because the War Bird’s face is so small I mis-hit the ball often. I tried my friend’s Ping g10 and hit beautiful long straight shots. If I hit my War Birds at 50% power, I get the same effect but it only goes 175 yds.

I want a driver that will help me hit straighter and further while using less power. Price range is $ 200 or less. Thinking about the Callaway FT-5 or FT-i, any other suggestions?

And is Maxfli a good club brand? I know they make good balls, but their drivers are $ 100 less but I can’t figure out why.

Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Shawn
Callaway FTI Driver draw biases 10.5 degree with a Fujikura speeder stiff flex. When I demo’d this club it was very hard to slice.
Sounds like your strong enough to use a stiff shaft. This club would be a great help. Check out some of the other reviews , you might find something you like better.

Which set of irons is best for a mid- to high-handicap golfer?

Question by davud5eva: Which set of irons is best for a mid- to high-handicap golfer?
I have not golfed in a few years, but when I did, I was a mid- to high-handicapper. My club are 10-year-old TopFlite shovels that really just won’t cut it anymore. I’m looking to get back into golfing a few times a week and want clubs that will last a while.

I’m 20 years old and probably have a swing speed in the 90s (just a guess). I hit the ball fairly straight, but struggle with my long irons, and am thus researching hybrid irons to mend this problem (but don’t necessarily need hybrids if regular irons are better).

I have taken particular interest in the Adams IDEA A2 OS hybrid set and the Wilson Staff Di7 set. I have also considered pre-owned Callaway X-18s.

I found the Adams set for $ 199/249 (steel/graphite) and the Wilsons for $ 299 (for either steel or graphite. Does anyone have a preference between the two or another suggestion.

Answer by PATRICK N
Do yourself a huge favor and try out these clubs before buying them. They are all good clubs, and all have different characteristics. Find the ones that fit your swing the best, not some one elses.

What hybrid should I get?

Question by Mike C: What hybrid should I get?
My Wood work needs help so I went to the local golfsmith and tried out the TaylorMade tp burner 19* and the Callaway X 18*. I liked both of them in the store but out of your expiriences on the golf course what would you recomend? I’m a rookie golfer with not much power (5wood 175) so I need big time forgiveness in a club. Also do you prefer steel or graphite?

Q&A: What ball should I use?

Question by Jacob: What ball should I use?
I am getting a new set of clubs for Christmas (long way off, I know, but today was like 55*F and raining and not golf weather, and my course will be closed soon), BUT: I am a 14 year old (6’1″) who can drive 190-205, but I am on a budget. At my Target, they have Callaways, Nike, and Top-Flite among others.

Callaway and Nike both have excellent stuff, but the Top-Flite is way better budget wise.

So, in the Top-Flite’s I am deciding between D2 Distance-for more distance or D2 Feel-Soft and is good on and around greens.

I would really like honest opinion about whether I should get a soft ball that feels great off the club and good for scoring, or one a little firmer, but not too hard, that gives me about 5-15 more yards off the tee.
I’m actually just a beginner- started a couple months ago, so am I doing pretty good distancewise (190-205)?

Best answer:

Answer by Kev
if you want a better short game and touch use the ball with feel, if you want to gain distance but loose some touch on short game, get the distance ball. Top flite is a pretty good ball for a low price, but callaway and nike have good balls that are cheap. good luck
