Thousands of golf equipment manufacturers have proliferate the market making it difficult to find the best. This is the same reason why Titleist Golf bags rose to the top of sold-outs. Enthusiasts acclaimed Titleist to hold style and quality in one great buy.

Top Notch Titleist Golf Bags

A superb golf bag utilizes a resilient fabric which can hold all your things. Of course, it is preferred to be lightweight and handy.

Titleist Golf Bags have reengineered cart and carry bags. Aside from its various styles and colors, each collection makes use of polypropylene, polyester and textured vinyl. Each bag is said to cater to any golfer from casual to professional tour.

S82 and S83 staff bags were dubbed as the professional’s choice. This collection is also the pride of all cart bags.

Mostly made from polypropylene, it is known for its durability. It was a sponsor in different worldwide tours.

The S83 is a smaller version of the Titleist 2009 staff bags. It sized only 9.5″. Great carry on.

Titleist carry bags were both collapsible and lightweight. But still, these manage to contain a full set of clubs. Newest versions have full-length pockets and foam-padded, mesh-covered hip pad.

Carry bags are also available with stands namely: premium, lightweight, ultra lightweight, and StaDry. All features of carry bags are integrated and enhanced but is also effective for those who enjoy a good walk.

A Folding Golf Bag Trolley Can Improve Your Game

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:19:27 +0000

There is nothing like a leisurely round of golf on a warm spring day. However, carrying that heavy golf bag for eighteen holes can really put a strain on your back and shoulder. This is where a folding trolley to carry your golf bag can really come in handy. If you use a golf cart at times, you know how much less fatigued you are after you complete a round. Many people think that not being as tired when you use a golf cart is due to the amount of walking that is saved. This is partially true but much of the reason you are less fatigued with a cart is due to the fact that you are not constantly picking up your bag and carrying it after every shot.

Well, you could just rent a golf cart each round you play and this would allow you to save that energy for later in the round. While this is definitely one solution, it is a more costly one and takes away one of the benefits of playing golf as far as I am concerned. I enjoy the walk around the golf course and happen to think it is decent exercise. This is why I choose to carry my golf bag with a folding trolley and to walk the course as opposed to riding.

When choosing a folding trolley, you will find that you have a couple of different variations to choose from. In addition to the standard push trolley, there are also electric models available. The push trolley is a fairly simple cart that allows you to strap your bag on the trolley and push or pull it along as you negotiate the course. The electric models are somewhat more complicated as they require a motor to drive the wheels and batteries to power the motor. If you choose an electric trolley, keep in mind that the battery is designed to last only so long, so put a little extra money in a longer lasting battery to ensure there is enough power to complete your round. If you want the ultimate experience with the electric trolley, purchase a remote control to guide the unit and you will not even have to touch the bag to point it in the direction you want it to go.

Whether you choose a standard push cart or an electric trolley, be sure that the unit will fit in the vehicle in which you intend to carry it. It will not be much use if it is back sitting in the garage because you are unable to put it in your vehicle. After you play a few rounds using a folding trolley or some other type of push cart, I believe you will find you are much less fatigued in the latter part of your round and you will possibly cut a few strokes off your game. Even if your game improves very little, your experience on the course will most definitely be more enjoyable.

Golf Club Staff Bags

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 09:21:23 +0000

As the touring golf pros play their competitive rounds, they are accompanied by two very important accessories; the indispensable caddy and their staff bag. The tour staff bag is an important part of the golfer’s arsenal. It easily carries the full component of fourteen clubs and has lots of pockets for golf balls, golf shoes, hats, tees and all the other little pieces of equipment that get the touring pros through their rounds. As the pro strolls down the fairway, the caddy carries the staff bag that, loaded, can easily weigh over fifty pounds.

A golf club staff bag is rarely carried by the average golfer, but happily placed on the golf cart. The more adventurous walkers usually use a Carry Golf Bag. However, if a “hold absolutely everything” golf bag is needed, staff bags do fit nicely on the average golf cart.

Where do you get a Golf Club Staff Bag? All the major brands certainly have them in their online stores or at your friendly pro shop.

Favorite choices are those from Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Ping, Taylor Made, Titleist and Wilson. Wilson is now offering golf bags made in China at, we understand, very competitive prices. Staff bags are also made by well known golf bag manufactures like Mizuno and Ogio.

You can also have a custom staff bag made with your name, company logo or some other significant decoration.

I use a staff bag and it becomes a happy home for everything I use on the golf course. In addition to my full complement of golf clubs, there are pockets and storage areas for balls, tees, markers and my trusty distance gauge as well as golf gloves and shoes and several other golfing accessories. A large pocket in the bottom even has room for my rain gear, an extra sweater or two and there is even space for a nutrition bar, snacks and a tasty beverage.

While it’s a bit heavy from the car to the clubhouse, once the staff bag is on the cart, weight doesn’t matter.

One slight problem is that all these clubs and golf accessories have a tendency to take up permanent residence unless a conscious effort is made to take time to empty the contents and remove all the wrappers, empties, ripped golf gloves and all the other nasty things that have taken up residence over the past few months.

Since you have spent a couple hundred dollars on this beauty, this is also the perfect time to clean up the staff bag. The best way to do this is to put a little dishwashing soap and water in a container. Spray the bag with a hose or wipe it with a wet rag to get it wet. Then, using an old towel or wash cloth aggressively clean the bag. Take some time and get rid of any dirt pockets that can build up in any nooks and crannies. Be more careful on any embroidered or velour covered areas.

Once your golf staff bag is cleaned to your satisfaction, prepare it for drying. This is also a great time to, literally, get it back into shape. Fill the pockets and storage areas of your staff golf bag with paper of regular towels. Don’t overfill and make sure all the zippers close and the snaps snap. Let it dry for twenty four hours, indoors or in a shady area to prevent any fading. You can also use leather or vinyl cleaners, but good old soap and water works just fine.The next day, remove the towels and presto, its almost like brand new.

If you can handle the weight and don’t forget it needs a little loving care and feeding, your staff golf bag can be your best friend on the golf course.

How To Choose Golf Travel Bag Cases

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:24:19 +0000

Golf travel bag cases frequently provide golfers with problems. Among them are the space required for them, the weight and even the price. Some can be really expensive, particularly if you want a bit more protection that a soft cover travel case can provide.

If you have decided to buy a travel case for your golf bag, think on why you want it. Consider the features that would be essential to you, then note down those that would be just ‘nice to have’. If you want some protection during your daily drive tom the golf course, your needs will be less that if you are a golf pro traveling the world on the circuits.

You Need a Good Golf Travel Case if you are Flying

Most people who buy golf travel cases are somewhere in between the two. They are regular golfers who like to take their clubs with them when they go on vacation, whether it’s a long drive or a flight. You need a high degree of protection when flying, since your clubs have to be protected by the rough handling they can get on and off the aircraft. Baggage jockeys are not noted for their soft and careful handling techniques!

Whatever you decide, you also need something that will be fairly easy to get to and from the trunk. It will also have to fit in it, along with any other luggage you are taking with you, but if it’s only a short trip then you might consider a travel case that doubles as a luggage case. You get golf travel cases that you can fit in a change of clothing and any other overnight kit you need as well as your golf bag and apparel.

Make Sure Your Travel Case is up to the Job

If you are only going to use for short travel periods, and decide on the lightness and easy handling of a soft cover bag, not to mention the more attractive pricing, make sure you get enough protection to suit you. Your bag should be strapped in securely, and your clubs should be secured from rattling around. Some protection for the club heads is also useful.

If you opt for a hard case make sure you can carry it, since if you are traveling alone you will possibly have it and the rest of your luggage to handle. Make sure that the wheels are up to the job, and of course that the case itself adequately protects your clubs. After all, that is what it is for. It should also be easy to store at home when you are not using it. The handles should be good enough to help you lift it to and from the trunk, and the strapping should hold your bag and clubs securely and without rattling.

The Choice of Golf Travel Case is not an Easy One

If you decide what you need before you shop, rather than what would be nice to have, you can save money and own a case that suits your needs best. Golf travel bags cases [http://www.golftravelbagtips.com/golf-travel-bag-cases/golf-travel-bag-cases-and-how-to-pick-the-best-for-you.php] come in all different sizes and colors and makes, so the choice is not an easy one if you step into a golf shop cold, and without putting the right degree of though to it.

Personalized Golf Bags – Golf Accessories

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:25:31 +0000

Personalized golf bags are a great gift to give to yourself or to the golf enthusiast in your life. Do not think you can only give this gift to people who already play golf. Investing in a personalized golf bag could be just what someone needs to kick start a new hobby. If you are looking to start a new routine or are looking for a way to spend time with a family member or loved one, consider investing in a nice golf bag with the person’s name, initials or even a little saying etched into it.

A nice golf bag is a great way to motivate a person into playing their very best and to get them out of the house and onto the field. There are tons of personalized golf bags from which to choose one for your loved one. If you consider all of your options, know your budget, and know the person for whom you are buying, you can end up with a truly personal bag to take out on the course.

Golf stands or carry bags are lighter in weight than other bags, but they have limited features (i.e. components, pockets, etc.). These are a great bag to invest in if you or the person for whom you are buying has an interest in playing golf but has never tried it before. The stand is a nice component because it helps the bag to stand on its own (i.e. no one will have to hold it and the owner will not have to bend down to use it). These bags come in materials like nylon or even plastic and can be personalized with silk screening and embroidery.

A gold cart bag is one of the most commonly seen and used today. It’s a bit smaller than a staff bag but larger than a carry bag. They are especially great for cart use. These kinds of bags generally have a strap that will help hold them onto the cart, and they also feature club dividers that will protect clubs from getting worn from hitting against one another. These bags are usually made out of heavier material, and this makes for an even better personalized golf bags because they are sure to last longer.

Lastly, there is the staff bag. These are among the priciest and largest bags you can invest in and they are designed for people who are serious about golf. These bags can hold everything from clubs to a full change of clothing in them, as well as much, much more.

Once you have chosen the kind of bag you want to buy, you then need to consider the look of your personalization. Consider everything from how large you want the personalization to be to the type of font and color. You want to consider where on the bag you want the name, initials, or message to be.

Packing Your Clubs For a Golf Vacation

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 09:25:28 +0000

It’s easy enough to pack your suitcase with clothes and swimwear when you go on vacation. But if you’re going on a golf vacation, it’s important to find the best way to bring your clubs and equipment with you, and to do so safely.

Usually, when you play the green at home, you’ll have your golf bag (a light stand bag if you walk, or a bulkier cart bag if you drive the golf cart). But these, obviously, do not do well during travel unless you drive.

If you’re flying or taking a train to your golf vacation, you probably will want a travel bag for your clubs, and possibly a small trunk for your shoes and other gear. Travel bags come in hard or soft covers, both with good padding to protect the clubs. And a locker makes it easy to keep your shoes, hats, tees, balls, and other gear organized and safe on the trip.

Some of the world’s most prestigious golf courses are the ones you would most want to play on if you are taking a golf vacation. But many of these courses are private courses, open to members and prestigious guests only, and inaccessible (or expensive) to golfers visiting from out of town.

But don’t let that stop you from enjoying some of the country’s best golf courses on your vacation. If you are traveling during the peak of the season (generally summer), you will likely miss out. But if you are able to take your vacation during the off season, you are much more likely to get access to private clubs.

Of course, areas like Arizona don’t have an off season, but temperate zones do. Call to find out if traveling in the fall can gain access to prestigious clubs and make for the perfect golf vacation.

Looking to hit the green for a golf vacation, without spending green by traveling to another country? The U.S. has plenty of stellar locations for a golfing getaway. Here are 10 courses you won’t want to miss.

Edgewood (Lake Tahoe, Nevada)
Mahaka Resort (Oahu, Hawaii)
Red Sky (Vail, Colorado)
Pine Valley (Clementon, New Jersey)
Calusa Pines (Naples, Florida)
Bethpage Black Course (Farmingdale, New York)
Oconee Golf Course (Reynold’s Plantation, Georgia)
Cypress Point (Pebble Beach, California)
Bandon Dunes (Bandon, Oregon)
Augusta National (Augusta, Georgia)

Of course, there are dozens upon dozens of other qualified U.S. courses befitting a golf vacation. But it doesn’t hurt to start somewhere, and any of the courses on this list would be a great place to play. Whether you’re looking in your own region, or across the country, the landscape of the U.S. is ideal for golfers of any stripe.

Choose the Best Ladies Golf Accessories

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 09:27:28 +0000

Golf is known to be an extremely popular sport. The assumptions about its origin still remain controversial; however golf is widely played not only by men but also by women for hundreds of years already. Men play golf because they think it is a challenge for them and they constantly aspire to achieve perfection in this sport and be the best. Women play golf because they want to spend much more time with their husbands and friends. Women’s distinguishing feature is their desire to look perfect, no mater where they are and what they are doing. No wonder why women choose ladies golf accessories so meticulously. They want to impress everyone both by their excellent game and immaculate appearance.

Men can easily do without bags. Women, on the contrary, take bags everywhere they go. That’s why a bag plays an important part in the image of a woman playing golf. Girls use bags not only for carrying golf clubs; they usually put cosmetics and some other things of personal usage there. There is hardly a woman who doesn’t have mascara, eye shadows, lipstick and so on in her golf bag. The bag must be spacious and beautiful at the same time to complete the image of the women.

Women want to be always attractive and they know that to achieve this purpose their facial skin must be smooth and possess natural color. Golf is played in the open air and very often in the sun. Facial skin is especially vulnerable to direct sunlight and can be easily burnt under its influence. Women in no way can let it happen! So, sun protective visors and baseball caps are extremely popular among the other ladies golf accessories. Women usually give preference to variegated caps and hats to attract the attention of the public.

Most women undoubtedly like wearing high heels what is impossible when playing golf. In fact, playing golf involves wearing comfortable shoes. Besides being comfortable, women’s golf shoes should also be beautiful. Despite the fact that golf shoes do not have high heels they can be no less pretty that any other shoes. Some women even suppose that it’s better for them to look beautiful rather than feel comfortable. There are lots of different golf shoes represented on the market today. So, every lady playing golf can choose shoes just to her own taste.

The above-mentioned ladies golf accessories are really essential for golf playing. However, there are lots of other ones which are always carefully chosen by women. Women’s golf gloves really deserve to be mentioned. Besides them, there are also golf socks meticulously selected by ladies. Women spend much time choosing golf balls, golf club covers and even golf putters. It means that they treat golf in their own special way, not only as a sport, but also as an event where they go to show their beauty and at the same time to look at the others. So, it’s clear why women spend so much time on choosing the apparel even preparing to play golf.

Happy golfing

Golf Outings – What to Pack in Your Golf Bag

admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 09:28:29 +0000

If we were going to play soccer, all we would need is a ball and away we’d go. Golf is different. The basic purpose of the golf bag is to carry your clubs, but there are pockets on the sides to carry all sorts of things that we need to have with us when we play. Here’s what to put in them.

Extra balls for when you lose one, or if a ball becomes scuffed and not suitable for playing with. Have at least six extras in your bag. You’ll need tees, too, for hitting the ball off of at the start of each hole. About a handful will do.

Pack two small items for use on the green. One is a ball marker to mark the location of your ball when you pick it up and clean it. That could be a small coin, or a plastic marker you can get at a pro shop. Have a few spares in your bag in case you lose one during the round.

The other item is a two-pronged tool that you’ll use to repair any marks your ball makes when it hits the green. Pack the marker and repair tool in your bag when you go to the course, but keep them both in your pocket when you play.

Take a towel with you and hook it in a ring that should be hanging off the bag. You’ll use it to clean off your club after you hit a shot, and to clean your ball once it gets to the green. If it’s raining, take several towels, because you’ll always want to have a dry towel to dry your hands on.

Speaking of rain, an umbrella and rain clothes are necessities in wet weather, but you don’t have to pack them unless you’re expecting to get rained on. Your bag came with a snap-on cover to keep your clubs out of the rain. Make sure you’ve packed that, too.

A glove to wear on your left hand (right hand, for left-handed golfers) helps you keep a secure grip on the club. This is an optional item, though, as many players prefer to play without one and do just as well.

Optional items which make playing more comfortable, are sunscreen, lip balm, and band-aids. Take a bottle of water for sipping from on each tee. A few snacks, like trail food or energy bars, keep you going strong for the four hours you’ll be on the course. Take a Sharpie to put a mark on your ball so you can positively identify it.

Keep a rule book in your bag, that you’re familiar with, to help you know what to do in case an unusual situation arises. Better players also bring along a small notebook to write down ideas on how to play the course the next time. Finally, your cell phone, PDA, iPhone, Blackberry, what-have-you, if you must take it you, keep it in your bag and TURN IT OFF. Outgoing calls in case of emergency only.

How To Make Your Golf Outing Successful…

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:30:46 +0000

Golf outings are a great way to raise money for organizations and charities. With all the competition today, good planning is essential. A golf outing consists of three parts: Registration, the golfing itself and the award banquet. If this is your first golf outing, you should allow at least 9 months to a year for planning. It’s great to have a positive attitude but golf outings require a lot of work. The less efficient your committee is, the more money you need to spend out of the profits to run the outing. Not only should you be looking for golfers and sponsors, but the more prizes and food you get donated, more profit goes to your organization.

One of the first things you want to do is form a committee. If this is your first outing, your committee should consist of 5 or 6 members. You’ll want to have members who are effective and will get the work done. It is helpful if some of your committee members are golfers. For the outing that continues each year, keep in mind that all too often committees have the same members. Having the same members year after year can cause your organization to be stuck in a rut. Adding new members can bring fresh ideas and energize your committee. Don’t be afraid to try new ideas. When presented with new ideas, ask yourself “why not” instead of “why”.

Committee Responsibilities:

Determine the format for the outing

Set up a budget

Select a course and negotiation pricing

Set up a schedule

Create and distribute your flyers, application, sponsor letters and donation requests

Solicit for participants, donations and sponsorships

Track the progress of the event

Finalize the set up and implementation of the outing

It takes a lot of planning to create a good golfing experience. Registration will be your first contact with the golfers. Making a good first impression will require you to be well organized and ready. Have your committee members play the course beforehand. This will be a great way to evaluate the movement of the course. Talk with the course management for their input on which holes are better for the skilled games, which holes run slower than others, etc. One of the biggest complaints from golfers in outings is poor organization. Make sure your volunteers know their duties before the day of the event. Have a dry run set up to go over the procedures. You want to make sure your event starts as scheduled. With that said, there will be no time to teach volunteers their roles the day of the event. Make the day fun for golfers. If your golfers are happy, they tend to stay around for the awards banquet which in turn can generate more money for your organization. Be sure to let your golfers know the rules as they are checking in. You can also post a rule sheet in each cart but be sure to announce the rules just before the start of play.

A great way to thank the golfers attending your golf outing is with a golf goody bag. These bags are given out at registration. You want to include a gift of appreciation for their support to your organization. Some of the common items are golf shirts, golf towels, golf tees and golf balls. Although tees and balls can be useful, most golfers don’t want a golf shirt with a logo on the chest. Try to be creative with your gift. From articles I read on golfer’s reactions to giveaways, here are a few ideas that were well received: a divot tool with switch blade action, a beverage cooler shaped like a golf bag, golf tee bag, a folding beach chair with carry strap, golf umbrella, for the outside of your golf bag or logo golf balls.

A golf event I’m planning now for a Boy Scout troop will be giving out pocket knives. It’s a gift that fits that organization. Along with the gift, you can also solicit businesses for promotional products, coupons, snacks, etc. to include in the goody bags. If a golfer pays a hefty registration fee to support you organization, make sure the gift is not junk. A good gift can be a big reason the golfer will return the following year. If you need assistance in looking for that perfect gift ideas, visit our website GolfStuffCheaper.com.

Once the golf has begun, make sure you offer ample food and drinks for your guests. Your golfers won’t complain about the amount of time they are spending with you that day and will more than likely stay around for the banquet with plenty of food and beverage. By budgeting a few more dollars for food and beverages will more than likely guarantee your golfers to be happy. And remember, happy golfers spend more money.

If your outing is in the morning, a suggestion of a breakfast snack, coffee and juice is recommended at registration along with a hot dog, chips and drink after the 9th hole. For an afternoon outing, offer a luncheon snack with drink at registration. Make it something easy that they can take with them so it doesn’t hold up the golf starting time. (Box lunches are good but through research, a lot of golfers don’t prefer them.) If you don’t want to do hot dogs, some suggestions could be taco in a bag or finger foods. You can set up beverage stations throughout the course or have carts drive around offering beverages. This is especially important if you have a hot day.

If there is a hole that is generally slow and can cause backup of players, have some sort of station set up, whether it be entertainment of some sort or a food and beverage station. If you can cut 45 minutes off a 6 hour round of golf, you not only increase banquet attendance, but everybody¡¦s in a good mood. Having skilled contests such as Closest to the Pin, Hole in One, Longest Drive, etc, gives golfers a chance to win prizes. Finding companies to sponsor the skilled prizes could save a lot of money for your organization.

Example: See if a travel agency or cruise line will donate a trip in return for advertisement at your event. That would be a great prize for a Hole in One contest. Some fundraisers will sell mulligans. This is pure profit for the organization and golfers like to have a do-over when in trouble. If you want to try something different, sell a mulligan and a throw. Keep your pricing reasonable or you will create a bad impression.

As golfers finish and return to the banquet site, have your raffles and/or Chinese auctions running. Put names on the tickets for a quicker call back of winning prizes. Be careful not to “Nickel and Dime” your guests. That could create a negative lasting impression. Once the last foursome has finished, have the luncheon or dinner ready. Start into your award ceremony as your guests are eating. Avoid having too many speakers. Everyone has been away from their families for most of the day now and the last thing they need is a prolonged ending program. You’ll want to give awards to the foursome in 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place. Remember to have enough awards for all 12 individuals. I remember the feeling of joy I had when I won a first place trophy. It has been almost a year now and the trophy still sits out on my shelf. A good gesture is to also offer some sort of prize for the foursome who came in last place. Make sure you also have door prizes as these little things golfers remember. A nice ending touch is to thank the families for allowing their golfer to spend the day with you supporting a good cause. Have them take a flower as they are leaving for their significant other.

What will that golfer remember when the outing you held is over? What will make the golfer decide to return the following year?

In short, golfers want:

a well-organized check-in that in turn produces the golf to start on time

a nice goody bag without a lot of junk

a representative from the organization available for their needs

fast golf

ample food and drinks

accurate honest score keeping

a brief and rewarding awards banquet

If this is what you give them, then the answers to the above questions will be positive. With this, I wish you a successful outing!

Six Golf Iron Tips

admin — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 09:32:26 +0000

Irons have a large range of uses on the golf course and for this sole reason they are the most popular clubs in your bag. Golf irons could make up more than half the number of clubs that you carry.

These clubs are generally used for shots varying between less than 200 to 100 yards in distance from the green. Irons are comparatively difficult to master and that’s why the driving iron (or 1-iron) and the 2-iron are generally left out of standard golf club sets. However, just for this reason, don’t be afraid to handle your irons! In case you are a little tentative with them, here are 6 valuable tips to help you along in your play:

Don’t try and master the irons as the first thing in your golf game. They are pretty tough to handle. Which is why beginners are advised to leave them alone to start with. Don’t even think about the 1- or 2- iron! And, for good measure, you might even try substituting the 7-wood or 9-wood clubs as replacements for the 3- and 4- irons. These woods produce an equal distance when used right and, most importantly, are much easier to handle.
You ought to have a good idea of how far you can hit with each of your clubs. This is a special secret which can really work to your advantage. The nearer you get to the green, the higher the number of iron you will need. Drivers are not only useful hitting off the tee, but are also quite handy teeing off for Par-3 and when you’re narrow and short on Par-4. If you are one of those novice golfers with the tendency to hit your ball off its center, you can increase your proficiency by using cast irons also known as “perimeter weighted” irons.
There are advantages and disadvantages to using the forged irons that you would do well to keep in mind. Forged irons have heads with a full back behind them. This gives these clubs less of a sweet spot which means the golfer using them has to be painfully accurate or his/her error could be past forgiveness. However, expert golfers would love forged irons as they are far more controlled and have more “feel” than their cast counterparts. Also, if you swing your club relatively slowly and therefore cover a relatively shorter distance, you might consider switching to a graphite shaft as it’s much lighter than steel and can greatly improve the speed of your swing.
As mentioned before, the composition of your shaft could make a significant difference to your style of play. As graphite is lighter than steel, it could be to your advantage to switch from a steel shaft, especially if you’re fairly amateur. The faster swing could add greater distance to your shots and that would be highly desirable.
With respect to graphite, not everyone might prefer it as steel shafts are still considered far more durable as well as more affordable. Graphite tends to be a favorite with players looking for extra speed or distance from their shots while maintaining shaft strength. But the best thing is, there are now shaft options available using the features of both graphite and steel. This might be the choice for those of you torn between the two.
Finally, go for a custom club fitting if you’re confused by the multifarious options available in the market today. Those who teach golf admit that almost three-quarters of the people who come to them for help have chosen stiff shafts to work with. The choices in shaft flexes and club heads are now so advanced; it’s easy to be in a dilemma about making the right choice. So instead of adapting yourself to your club, let the club adapt to you!
