Another golf club review

Ok, you are right. My first logs of the days before are very short. Well, I knew it. These are notes to let you think. Let’s start with the first one “for a lower golf handicap: 5 areas of concern” 

Any golfer, pro as well as amateur, young and old, is focussed on the magic swing.It is obvious your golf swing has been influenced by the type of your irons and drivers. However, I get the impression if I surf on the web people think a great iron will improve immediately their swing. For example, a man had asked on a forum:  “Do you think I need a new shaft??” He wants to improve his drive distance. He had mentioned a great iron which cost him ~$200. However, he did not fully analyse his performance at first. He forgot there are more influences than good equipment, eg.:

·        His athletics ! How is he making his natural swing on a higher speed? Did he test it? No  

·        His Mental health ! He really will improve his drive distance;  Does it helps him to think “I have to put some more muscle into my golf swing”? No, it is about a faster upper body rotation. He becomes a better golfer if he visualizes this peak performance instead of block his vessels by power swinging.

·        His fitness ! Does he need a stiffer shaft ? Maybe the golfer himself is a little bit stiff J for a proper speedy swing. He should check out his ‘mechanics’ with a PGA professional. And he could go to a sport centre for special golf fitness program. Pro’s like Ernie Els, Tiger Woods, Annika Sörenstam en Se Ri Pak are regularly in the fitness school to improve their body condition and strength. 

Golf also is about this. Take care for it before you order a new expensive driver or iron. 

Next days I will give you more great insights. By
