Let's say you would like to upgrade your golf game (who doesn't), then how can you do it. Many people think the solution is innovative, improved golf equipment. How much will it actually help, and will we assume the more we pay, the better the results are going to be? To start with, why do so many players at once look toward equipment as their initial solution? Clearly, marketing with the equipment manufacturers causing expectations to be dramatically exaggerated will make us purchase, and we still trust them. Then many people have greater disposable income to throw around to purchase toys. But possibly it is because it really is a lot easier to improve your game by going out and buying what you may think is better equipment as opposed to putting in the time practicing. And practicing will make a much bigger difference in your game. It's important to differentiate why professional players look to make alterations with their clubs, and the reasons amateurs make changes in theirs. The professionals are looking for subtle adjustments in their equipment to allow them to spin a shot better, shape it better or add five more yards to their drive. Normal players like most folks are looking for forgiveness with a poorly hit shot. Meaning oversized club heads that have a larger sweet spot will be what we are looking for. Proficient players are not as fearful of the miss-hit golf shot, or not hitting the sweet spot, but because of their talent level deem feel of the shot the factor they're looking for. As a result, if we follow the recommendation of professionals and buy the clubs they suggest, are they thinking of themselves or the poor hacker they are selling to. If clubs work out great for Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson, they're probably going to become a mess for many of us. Plus of course they cost more money. But let's face it: the bigger golf clubs assist the mid to high handicap golfer. The drivers will be less difficult to hit, and using hybrid golf equipment as an alternative to long irons made that phase in the game considerably more proficient. They are not terrifically expensive, and there exists a wide range of this type of club now that if you take time to test several, you'll find one that fits you like a glove. Thus equipment, if selected intelligently could make a huge difference in your golf score. It has been acknowledged that those large clubs could also have an adverse result. When a golfer gets that golf club with the big head in their hands, they feel they can swing as hard as they can and yet knock a shot a great distance. This leads to poor, undisciplined golf swings, and even using the more forgiving clubs, your game will not get better. It doesn't matter what sort of clubs you utilize, if your swing is not sound, your game will not be good, either. The modern-day golf clubs will help the mid and high handicapped golfer, as long as they keep the swing under control. Keeping the swing under control will also have an effect on the short game, including chipping. Jim O’Connell is an avid golfer and writer living in Chicago.
