DJ asked:


It seems there arent many golf clubs for that age group. Ladies golf clubs would be a fine fit, but this is for a boy. Is it best just to buy a regular set and instruct him to grip it quite low?

Choosing a Golf Club

June 11th, 2009

Jay Moncliff asked:


ng a golf club can be very difficult if you are an experienced, much less a beginner. The reason finding the right golf club is so hard is because there are so many types, designs, and features you have to consider in correlation to your skill, swing and needs. The following golf club overview might help you choose the right golf club for you, or at least narrow it down.

Cast Iron Golf Club The cast iron golf club is made from cast iron and the majority of the weight of the golf club is around the perimeter. Because of this the sweet spot is larger and this type of golf club is really great for beginners or those who have trouble making full contact.

Forged Iron Golf Club The forged iron golf club is generally used by professionals simply because of its design and function. The center of the golf club is the center of gravity and the front of the club is a bit heavier. If you are an experienced player then you might consider a forged iron golf club.

Also, you will need to choose a size for your golf club as well from standard to midsize or oversized. The standard club is smaller, so the sweet spot is as well. Generally professionals and advanced players use a standard club.

Midsize golf clubs are great because they have a bigger sweet spot and are a bit larger than the standard golf club. Average players frequently use midsize golf clubs because they are easy to control and have a larger sweet spot.

Oversized golf clubs are generally used by seniors and individuals who have a hard time hitting the ball straight on. The one problem with these clubs is they can be difficult to control. The bonus, a huge sweet spot so when you make contact your ball goes further!

How do I put a value on old golf clubs?

June 11th, 2009

purple dove asked:


I have a complete set of old golf clubs, with the bag, the push stroller thing, balls and tees. How do I know how much to price it at. It’s in very good shape for being about 25-30 years old. I am cleaning out my storage area and need to get rid of some of this stuff. I don’t want to overprice it but I don’t want to really under price it either. Thanks in advance.

Nike Golf Clubs are Here for Christmas

June 10th, 2009

David Potts asked:


The Sports PLC are proud to announce the new golf clubs from Nike. The Sports PLC have the latest golf club names are the lowest prices. One of the Nike golf clubs is the Nike Golf SasQuatch Sumo driver. This is available at the low price of £99.99, one of the cheapest on the net.

 

Nike is one of the major leading brands in golf and big name players are signed with them. The SasQuatch Sumo driver has been used by Trevor Immelman, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Grace Park and Suzann Pettersen. The driver had over 29 wins on the PGA tour in 2007. Nike have had more wins than any other brand in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

 

The original Sasquatch driver has won numerous awards. When the  Nike engineers set out to create an improvement on their clubs they had a difficult mission on their hands. However they proved that the mission was accomplished with the SasQuatch Sumo. The driver is the latest technology which boasts a new Nike PowerBow geometry for even more distance and forgiveness. The PowerBow configuration adds weight to the bottom perimeter of the driver while moving the centre of gravity lower and further back. This gives a SUper MOment of inertia hence the Sumo name. Another dramatic improvement is the shaft by Mitsubishi Rayon which is now high performance Diamana. The graphite shaft is designed to blend power and stability, with a light weight feel and an optimized tip profile for better distance and accuracy. This is the latest in golf club design!

 

The Nike Sumo driver golf club offers many advantages over other brands. It uses the highest MOI by utilising a multimaterial construction and new PowerBow design which delivers superior forgiveness and greater distance.  The PowerBow design has a radical square design increasing the MOI for superior forgiveness and greater distance. The golf club has a full titanium construction and Diamana graphite shaft. The Sports PLC have purchased the driver in Men’s right hand in 9.5º stiff and 10.5º regular so there is a SasQuatch Sumo driver to suit most players.

 

Nike Golf SV Tour Wedge

 

The Sports PLC have the pleasure of selling more Nike equipment. The Nike Golf SC Tour Wedges have been a complete success and we are offering them to you at a very low price. The profile, bounce and groove contour of the Nike SV Tour wedges were designed with the help from the Nike Golf Tour staff members. The SV stands for Spin Velocity and ultimate control!

 

The golf clubs have classic profiles and grinds which provide a clean look with maximum versatility. The face is CNC milled which is flat and provides consistent golf ball response off the club face for more accurate shots. The SV Tour Wedges provide control, confidence and accuracy for a solid short game.

 

The Sports PLC have a variety of Nike items on offer and only have a limited amount in stock. Make sure you don’t miss out!

How to Choose Golf Clubs

June 7th, 2009

Craig Crooks asked:


How To Choose Golf Clubs

One of the most confusing things about getting started in golf, is not knowing how to choose golf clubs that are most suitable for your game. Even for people who have been playing golf for a while it can be difficult to know what to look for.

In this article I’m going to run you through the steps you should go through when you are choosing what golf clubs you will buy. By using this organized approach you will be able to choose golf clubs that will be good for your game…and hopefully good for your bank account.

Know What You Need

Too many people buy golf clubs for the wrong reason. Then what ends up happening is the club doesn’t suit their swing, they have to sell it, losing a little bit of money, and they have to look for something else.

You should always match a club to your swing – never the other way around. Think about your game and where your weaknesses are. Talk to your pro and see what they think. Hit some balls with the pro watching and get their opinion. Use a launch monitor to get some numbers.

All this information can then be used by an experienced professional – either a club maker/fitter or golf pro – to match you up with the most suitable equipment.

Trial & Error

Once you know what you need, make up a shortlist of equipment that meets these requirements and give them a try. Before you choose a golf club you should always try to get it in your hands and hit balls with it, even if you are going to buy it online.

See if your golf club has some demo stock in the pro shop you can use. Or visit one of the big retail outlets with indoor facilities you can use to trial the club. By doing this you will cut down the money you waste on the wrong products

Price Research

Narrow your shortlist down to one or two finalists, and do your price research. Check all sources, both off and online. Get a good idea of what the price range for the product is.

One thing I would always do is take the best price you can find on the internet, and see if your local retailer can match it. All things being equal buying from a retailer is better – it makes after sales service much easier if there are ever any problems.

If you can wait, look to hold off until the end of the season when prices will take a fall. Or check for new models that may soon be replacing the one you are interested in – your product may be in line for a clearance price cut in the not too distant future.

With money tightening up the way it is, following the above approach will give you a good approach to finding the right club for your game, and hopefully save you some money in the process as well.

Is there any place in the Seattle area that rents quality golf clubs independently?

I’m travelling to the area soon and planning to golf. Most of the times, public courses don’t have quality clubs to rent from. I’m wondering if there are any independent places that rents them (like in Vegas).

adam0 asked:


I’ve been to the driving range some, but I’ve always used the club’s unknown drivers - and I really know nothing about buying my own golf clubs. Can someone give me a dumbed-down explanation about what kind of irons/wedges/whatever I need in my starter set?
