Each golfer has different problems, and golf training aides are designed to handle those challenges. In researching the areas that women golfers have the most difficulties, we learned some surprising things. In addressing the most important challenges to women golfers, these issues will not be necessarily impossible to beat as a result of physical limits, but in addition to some education can be dealt with. The three areas that we feel are the most important challenges to women golfers involve putting, insufficient driving yardage, and general club head velocity. With some understanding on what you are trying to accomplish as well as a bit of training, we believe that women golfers can show progress in all three areas. 1. Putting. This might be unanticipated of the key challenges to women golfers to almost everyone, as putting wouldn't appear to require power, that is taken for granted as the biggest advantage for men. Nevertheless in PGA versus LPGA statistics, men are statistically better than women in putting, and women are superior in hitting greens in regulation. So why are women poorer at putting? In a subsequent article, I'll go into putting at greater length, but two things right away come to mind: they too frequently utilize a putter which is exceedingly long for them, and they do not take putting training seriously enough. These two factors obviously don't hold true with professional golfers, but for amateurs if they would get fitted for a putter that is the right length and work on stroke mechanics at the practice green, we can practically ensure their scores will plunge. 2. Not enough driving distance. Women's professional golfers are becoming more into physical training, and their driving distances have gone up in the same way. This has in all probability not happened to a great level with recreational golfers. The areas to work are the core, the abs, lower back and hamstrings. At the end of this article we are going to advise you on where to uncover some first-rate tools to meet these ends. Also, learning to harness the power of centrifugal force is an even better contributor, which has as well been described as "let the club do the work". There are some teaching tools available that should help you get a "feel" for producing this centrifugal force. 3. Despite which club you use, they all go about the same yardage. The cause for this is not enough club head speed, and as a long-time golfer, I have seen that my long irons don't have any additional yardage than my middle irons as club head speed has diminished. Club head speed might be improved with effort, but father time always marches on. My solution has been rescue clubs and being refitted with fairway woods. Another tip to answer the most important challenges to women golfers is improving ball contact. Statistics show that for every half inch you strike the ball from your sweet spot, you lose ten yards. By just becoming more consistent with your ball striking will provide more yardage. These most important challenges to women golfers could be overcome by practice. Additionally, women in my observations appear to be more prone than men to give in to difficult shots, like deep rough or sand shots. I'll confess, there are lots of times I feel identically, but I know that won't help me the next time I'm confronted with the same shot. But on the other hand, I'm sure men can learn from women in not at all times taking things on the course too seriously. A pretty good topic for another day!
