PGA Pro   Equipment Tips  


Oversize Drivers
The new drivers coming out today have much deeper faces than models of just a few years ago. . .more

Club care made easy
Don't ever store your clubs in the trunk of a car on hot summer days. Heat damages graphite shafts, epoxy bonds, and grips. . . more

3 iron or 5 wood
If your best shots with a 3 iron are only 180 yards or less and your 4 iron shots are barely 170 yards then you may want to consider replacing those long irons with some much easier to hit wood clubs. . . more

The sand wedge
Many times we go to a new course and have trouble from the sand. Sometimes it is our own poor technique but other times it may be the change in texture of the sand that we’re not used to. . . more

Arc putters
There has been a great trend in recent years towards the long and belly putters. Long putters are swung back and thru while being anchored to the player’s sternum or even sometimes their chin while belly putters are anchored just above or near the belly button. . . more

Driver tech
The technology in today's new drivers has made one of the toughest shots in golf much easier. If you struggle with hitting tee shots you should start by hitting some 460 cc volume driver heads. They are the biggest allowable by the rules and also the most forgiving when hit on other than the center of the clubface. . . more

Heavy vs. light putter
big key to distance control in putting is the swingweight of the clubhead. This is an important criteria because the swingweight of the club will have some influence on the distance the ball will travel. . . more

Ping G2 driver
The Ping G2 driver is a great advancement in driving technology. The 460 cc head (maximum legal limit) produces a wonderful flight and is a very forgiving driver on off center hits. . . more
