Most golfers find the game of golf very relaxing. Whether it is putting on the greens that they most enjoy, the ambiance of the golf country club restaurant or the chance to spend time with like-minded friends and other country club members, it can be quite the enjoyable time. Playing the game may be the highlight of the country club trip, but it is good to know that you can spend your entire day at the club and on the fairways and greens, with all the comforts that you desire.

Most golf and country club settings offer you a choice of restaurants that cater to most tastes. Next to the restaurant is the golf store, where you can purchase many items pertaining to golf that you will need for your game. If there are any items in the golf shop that you are not sure of, then a golf pro is normally on hand to explain their uses to you. Many of the items may be something that you will need as your game evolves and grows, such as golf apparel, golf gloves and other golf accessories and equipment that you would like to have.

If you are new at the game of golf and are looking to learn techniques that will help your game, then a membership at a golf country club can offer you the ability to learn from a golf pro. These are individuals who are paid by the golf club to offer golf training and suggest golf training aids to further develop your game. Besides learning and playing the game of golf, there are normally other things that individuals can do to enjoy themselves. Many golf clubs are equipped with a at least one swimming pool and at times a game room for the kids.

While you will most likely have to pay dues to belong to a golf country club, you will be offered much more than you would at a regular golf course. The country club will allow you to be a part of the golfing community. If you have never visited a country club that showcases golf, then you will find that it can be an experience like no other. You can spend time playing the game you love and meet other people with the same love of the game. It can be an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Choosing The Best Mens Golf Club Set

Mens golf club set from used golf clubs sale.

There are many different mens golf club set styles created by manufacturers to appeal to a wide range of golfers. These golf club sets come in numerous different designs, colors, and styles so that anyone can find a golf club set that will fit their needs. There are several things that will need to be considered when choosing the best mens golf club set to ensure that you are getting the right complete golf club set for your needs.

The Style Of The Golf Club Set

A mens golf club set can be found in a wide variety of attractive styles. The style of golf club set that is chosen will have a great deal to do with what appeals to the golfer the most. If the person prefers to own items that are modern, then the best mens golf club set for that person will be of a modern style as well. A golf club set does not have to match anything else that the person owns so any attractive style may be purchased as long as it fits into the person s budget for a new golf club set.

The Price Of The Golf Club Set

Have a fixed price in mind even before you start your shopping. Prices are quite flexible with golf clubs. Whatever figure you have in mind as your budget, you are sure to find a mens golf club set to match within that range. So, you need to decide on how much you will spend first. In case you want something special, like a customized golf club set, you have to be ready to pay more. Standard golf club sets that you can get directly from the store will be cheaper. But remember to decide your budget first because some of these can tend to be very expensive.

The Size Of The Golf Club Set

The size of the mens golf club set that is chosen is also very important for obtaining the best golf club set for your home. Some sets come with more than a dozen different clubs while some others come in a much smaller amount and you can add additional pieces when shopping for golf clubs in the future. Purchasing a mens golf club set that has a large number of clubs included will be a waste of money for a beginner because they will have too many choices to make while trying to improve their game.

Mizuno MX-700 Driver Review

The Mizuno MX-700 driver at the used golf clubs sale.

The new Mizuno MX-700 driver has certainly taken a stand atop the new driver list this year. The new Mizuno 460cc driver is a wide body geometry shaped driver that pushes the CG toward the back way back. And CG is not he only thing going for this driver. The face incorporates a Ti-9 titanium alloy that is designed with a grain structure that really allows this driver to improve ball speed especially on off center hits.

Mizuno offers Power Hull body construction utilizes internal reinforcements for powerful sound and feel. The MX-700 will replace the beloved MX-560. Some may be disappointed of the replacement, most will enjoy the upgrade.

A quick snapshot of the Mizuno MX-700 Spec Sheet-

Face Height : 52 mm
Face Area ..: 44.6 cm
Shaft Length .: 45.5
Heel to Toe .: 113 mm
Front to Back : 120 mm
MOI : High
Launch Angle : High
Spin Rate : Low

This driver exudes confidence at address, I just plain like the looks of this driver. Mizuno has traditionally catered to the more accomplished player. Until now that is – in the case of the Mizuno MX-700, they broke the mold by offering the recreational player a nice higher launch, low spin driver that will be sure to fare well among the masses looking for such traits.

Really the only negative was the head fitting not being interchangeable. Therefore, since there is an extensive custom shaft selection including Fujikura, Grafalloy and Mitsubishi, it makes it difficult to test.

Overall Rating-

No doubt, the Mizuno MX-700 deserves your attention this year. It earned a Silver rating from Golf Digest for drivers under $350. A Hot Metal face and geometric body design combine to create Mizuno s most powerful and most forgiving driver ever, Straight from Mizuno. Yep, put this one on your short list this spring to take a good long look at.

Golf Bags – Is Pricing An Issue?

Golf bags from the used golf clubs sale.

Titleist Golf

Golfing is not just something people do. It is a passion, and just like any other passion, nearly all golfers only want the best equipment. This includes their golf bags. However, how do they know when they are getting a good product for a good price? Most products will have a high end and a low end and purchasing a new golf bag will not be any different. There are several reputable brands out there that golfers are familiar with, and tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum, but those on the lower end are quality goods as well.

If you are someone who is looking for top of the line golf equipment and accessories, such as golf bags, and are not worried about the price, then there are many brands out there that can accommodate you. Some of them are Ogio, Slazenger, Titleist Golf, and Nike Golf. These are some of the more well known brands. Many expert golfers choose to purchase these higher end bags for the name that they carry.

Upon entering a golf store, you will find that there are many golf bags under $150.00 that are of high quality and will not break the bank. A Nike Golf bag is under $100.00, for example. Just slightly over this price is the well-known brand Callaway with their Mini STS bag for $119.99. This is a price that professional golfers and those golfing as a hobby can both respect. The brand Bag Boy also makes the OCB-15 for just under at $99.99. However if you are not looking to spend $100.00 on a golf bag, then there is hope for you and your game. The brand Acuity specializes in lower priced bags that still uphold a standard of quality for men and women. Commonly, their Pro Series bag with a stand costs around $59.99.

While golf bags are not as important as custom golf clubs when it comes to golf gear, they are what a golfer trusts to cart around their golf clubs. This is why most people make sure that they have a good quality bag. If you are new to the game of golf and not sure what type of bag you should purchase, then looking to names that you have heard of before is probably the best bet. As you grow in your game and get to know other golfers, there will be time to learn about the different brands.

Do-It-Yourself Golf Clubs

Used golf clubs sale for amateur golfers.

For amateur golfers, making one’s own set of golf clubs or just that one special club can be a lot of fun, and could help in one’s game.

You may ask why you would ever want to build your own golf clubs.Well, the big reason is that when you buy clubs off the shelf, you are stuck with the sizes and fits that are in stock – limited only. There may be one size for men; another for the women; and another for children who need junior golf clubs. At 6 ft 2 in, for me buying off the rack can cause my golf game to suffer and cause some annoying back aches because if the clubs are too short. By learning to make your own golf clubs you can help your body and save some cash at the same time.

There really isn’t much needed to make one’s own golf clubs. You just need a head, shaft, grip and some materials to hold it all together. Searching the internet will give you many options to buy your components to make clubs that match your game.

Club heads — iron and wood heads are available from many suppliers. You can buy club heads that resemble popular brands or designs unique to the manufacturer you buy from. Each vendor offers their own line of clubs.

Shafts – you can buy the same shafts that most of these branded golf club companies use.

Grips – there are a variety of sizes and types of grips. You can find them in all price ranges and even buy the same ones the pros use..

Ferules — That’s the little plastic piece that goes on the end of the shaft above the club head on some clubs. These are purely decorative except on graphite shafts, where they are needed to absorb some of the stresses where the shaft joins the club head.

The beauty of finding the components to make your own club is the fact that you can actually mix and match the components to match your game.

Some of the tools needed are:

Grip tape two sided tape is needed

Grip tape solvent very cheap and you can recycle the excess

Epoxy you will needs an epoxy with a drying time of 2-3 hours

Pipe cutter for cutting steel shafts, a plumbing cutter will work fine

For graphite shaft use a hack saw

Grip cutting knife one with a hooked blade works nicely

Sandpaper for roughing up shaft tips to epoxy them

Shaft clamp a thick piece of rubber in a vise works well

Making a golf club consists of measuring and cutting the shaft to length, abrading the tip to make sure the bond to the head is as good as possible. You then push the ferrule over the thin end of the shaft and glue the head to the shaft with epoxy. Waiting for the epoxy to dry is the worst part of the job You want to take your new golf club to the course and try it out. Once the epoxy has set, you wrap the butt end of the shaft with grip tape (double-sided sticky tape), wet it using one of a wide range of solvents, slide the grip over it and let dry. Once that is done, you can now clean your new golf club – polish the ferrule and end up with something better than you buy at the store.

So get to your computer, find some great websites and order your components. In no time, you will be able to create your own golf clubs. So have fun.

Those who have played golf knows that it’s addicting. Building your own clubs can result in a similar addiction, so be warned.

Cobra S9-1 Driver Review

The Cobra S9-1 Driver at the used golf club sale.

Center of Gravity (CG) is the primary focus with the new Cobra S9-1 Driver. The all titanium driver has been somewhat downsized for each loft. In addition to the optimized CG, rather dramatic changes have been made from last year s model such as slightly narrower face and less crown surface area. The weight has been reduced by almost 6 grams to increase club-head speed – this is huge. Making golf clubs as light as possible is a very big perk in my opinion. Stripping unnecessary weight to increase club-head speed. This is the name of the game to gain additional yardage.

Other notables for the Cobra S9-1 is the new Hotter 9 Points technology to further increase clubface efficiency. What is this? It s the design of the driver to maximize COR using a Dual Rhombas insert to promote higher ball speed and a more consistent ball flight across the entire club face.

Comes in three different models (excluding the S9-1 Pro): S9-1 M for swing speeds of 87-108 and ball speeds of 125-155, S9-F for swing speeds of 97 or less and ball speeds of 140 or less and finally the S9-M (offset) for swing speeds of 97 or less and ball speeds of 140 or less.

Cobra S9-1 Spec Sheet-

Face Height .. 53 mm
Shaft Length 45.5
Face Area .. 43.7
Heel to Toe .. 107 mm
Front to Back 120 mm
MOI .. Very High

The Cobra S9-1 is an absolutely great looking driver. Cobra has always come out with stellar drivers and this one is no exception. Very high MOI and balanced face makes this one of the straighter drivers on the market today. Excellent custom shaft selection such as Graphite Design, YS-6+ and YS-7+, Aldila DVS, Aldila NV, Grafalloy Prolaunch, Proforce V2, Fujikura Speedax, Rombax, and the Mitsubishi Diaman to name a few.

The Cobra S9-1 is probably more geared for the average player. Lacks lower loft selection (starting at 9.5) unless you go to the Cobra S9-1 Pro model – this is not a negative to the majority of players however.

The Cobra S9-1 will be a hit for players looking for greater distance and accuracy. A high launch driver that s straight and long, the general consensus is that it will be a hit for Cobra after making a Gold Rating in the Golf Digest Driver reviews for 2009 . This is definitely a driver putting on your short list this spring.

Stack and Tilt:Find Out How a Bit of Stack and Tilt Could Transform Your Game

Stack and Tilt with drivers from the used golf clubs sale.

 

Stack & Tilt

To drive the ball longer, straighter and more consistently,are three things that every golfer strives to do from the complete novice right through to Tiger Woods. Most of us are plagued by ugly shots from time to time but what if you could eliminate those fat and thin shots for good? Well there’s a revolution going on and it’s call Stack and Tilt and it just might be the answer to your prayers.

Do you even know about stack and tilt? You probably have as you have found this article but you’re probably not completely clued up as to what it’s all about. It’s basically a new type of golf swing which is having a remarkable effect on quite a few tour professionals- Mike Weir, Aaron Baddeley and Charlie Wi, to name a few but so far over 20 professionals have adopted a Stack and Tilt golf swing.

The History of Stack and Tilt Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett are known as the ‘Golf Whisperers’ because of the number of players they have helped to become winners on the tour. It is these men who, following 20 years of experimenting, have created this marvelous new swing which totally contradicts the fundamentals that are taught about ‘the swing’ currently.

The Difference Between The Stack and Tilt Swing and a Traditional Swing Normally when a golfer learns to swing a club he or she is taught to transfer their weight on to their back foot. The problem with this is that what sometimes tends to happen is that the swing bottoms out behind the ball. This then leads to some those terrible shots that make golf so frustrating. What’s different about the Stack and Tilt, however, is that the weight moves forward so the swing bottoms out in front of the ball. This results in a pure, smooth contact that feels totally effortless and not a horrible contact that reverberates up your club into your hands!

The execution of the swing is extremely simple and the benefit is that very quickly you will see that your ball will go further straighter and more consistently than with any other golf swing – it’s really pretty remarkable!

The top golf courses in the world

Right here are the top five golf course from areas situated all over the world. Get those electric golf trolleys ready, here come the best of the best.

5. Number five is Shinecock Hills golf club

A stunning course that has hosted four US opens so far. A very challenging course indeed you will struggle to make your handicap on this one. The course itself was first designed in 1891 with further amendments occuring in 1930, with no changes happening since it just goes to show a perfect course has no faults.

4. At number four is the magnificent St Andrews (old)

Quite possibly the oldest golf course in the world with golf being played here way back in the 12th century. Although known as the home of golf it is apparently not very good for newcomers to the course. This is a course that you have to get to know before you like playing here so many other golfers have said.

3. Cypress point club

The vast majority of people will never get a chance to play on this course as it only has 250 members but the last few holes have been called the best in golf. I have never actually played this course so I have no idea how well it plays but it certainly had to come into the top five.

2. Royal County Down golf course

This course was first designed in 1889 with further work done to it in 1908 as well as this it has been voted the best course in the United Kingdom. Some of my best golf was played on this course with my brilliant birdie on hole 6 which is partly why it is at the number two slot.


1.Pine Valley golf course

It had to be the number one slot purely because it is the most stunning course I have ever seen in my life. The only problem with this course is the huge 10ft deep bunker containing no sand, in other words its a no go area! If you get the ball into this bunker then it is certain you are not going to get it out.

So there you have it the top five golf courses in the world. No need to charge up those golf batteries when you have the caddies at these places to drag your clubs around for you.

Helping You Find The Right Golf Bag

Golf training with clubs bought at the used golf clubs sale.

golf training

The golf bag is a very useful tool; one that will not only can carry the golf clubs that a golfer needs to play the game, but much more. Many different styles of golf bags are designed to help carry all of the golf accessories and items that you may need on your day of play. While you are walking around the country club greens or even driving around in the golf cart, golf bags have become a very useful piece of equipment. There are even golf bags that are equipped with wheels, in case you do not have a caddy; you can simply pull it around the country club or public golf course.

Some golf bags are made out of leather and some are made out of plastic, yet golf bags serve the same purpose whatever the material. It is just a matter of longevity and looks. If you are concerned about how you dress, then it may also be important to you to have a cool, top quality bag. However, the bags are not made for looks alone, as their job is to carry your golf equipment and accessories, such as your golf gloves, tees and perhaps some of your golf apparel. Some bags may carry more belongings than others. Different styles of bags will have more pockets on them than other ones will. Some may be made out of waterproof materials. If you are still in golf training, then a very expensive bag is probably not a good idea.

The cart bags have more storage in them than bags you carry for simple physics. You would not want to carry a heavy golf bag and do not have to because it can be placed on the cart, or it may have wheels, allowing you to pull the bag. All of your golf training aids can also fit into your bag, whether or not you have a cart. On a hot day, you could even have some soft drinks in it to refresh yourself while you play. A bag is very important to keep your expensive gear protected from the ravages of time and humans.

When you are selecting a golf bag, just as when you are selecting any other needed golf accessories, you will want to make sure that you are getting the exact style that you are looking for. You will want to make sure that the bag can hold all of your accessories and equipment, as well as anything else that you feel that you will need on your trek around the country club greens and fairways.
