IS YOUR DRIVER THE CORRECT LENGTH?

There are a significant number of studies out there that have discussed the driver length. Recently my friends at GolfWRX issued an article on that subject. It would be better to discuss if speed (which translates to greater speed) is worth the losing control (which translates to accuracy). By personal experience I have found that searching the correct head and shaft is much better that the speed. I have searched and modified my drivers to a controlable length (personal = 44.5″). That length has also included additional changes in the shaft weight which has also affected the swingweight. For more reading on the subject I would suggest the following GolfWRX article:

IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO CUT DOWN YOUR DRIVER

Finding a good club fitter and repair technician would give you a good start on the potential cost of the upgrade. You can search further information from may of the forum sites around. I can also be contacted relative to how deep you wish to research the topic and I will give send you resources for some of the best reference materials available.

Golfing as a Hobby

Most people consider golfing as a professional sport but to some it is an enjoyable hobby. Golfing is one of the most interesting hobbies as it involves a combination of different activities including talking, walking as well as competition.

It is a healthy hobby since the player will always be walking a few miles and they can burn up to 352 calories within an hour. In addition, the golf swing involves turning the body several times and this is a great exercise for both the tummy and the back muscles.

With the high prevalence of lifestyle diseases which are as a result of obesity among other factors, the best hobby is the one which can help one live a healthy life. Golf can be played by one individual unlike many other sports that require a team and this allows the person to play whenever they feel like making the hobby very interesting.

The best hobby is the one that one can share with their loved ones. Golfing ensure that nobody is left out since one can play with their family and friends.

As one can see in the article attached mallet putter have changed and updated their style and designs. We all understand that this is an annual process in order for each manufacturer to get his product onto the market.

Ever since I was introduced to Evnroll Putters at the PGA show I have been a real fan. Looking forward to revisit in 2022 and adding Axis1 to my must see list. (FYI: Odessey has always been there).  I have helped a number of the members at my former club make decisions on a new putter and this type of information has been a great help. Both articles have very good information for those considering a change in the process and equipment. The most significant change in the lists are the increased in costs of putters over time.

Check out the link below to get the latest information and I am leaving the older version online for comparison.

In 2018 it appears that again the Evnroll has topped the list again, however, a new character has entered the fight. In 2021 Odessey is back at the top of the putter lines. 2018 Tommy Armour had a new model (#3 Align) that has great test results. If you scroll the website you will see that I have added a special single product review for Axis1 putters which I am swapping back and forth with my Evenroll as the best putter on hand.
