Don't put yourself at a disadvantage

We always encourage the golfers we teach to get out on the practice ground between lessons. It’s through this repetition that swing changes start to feel more natural so the pupil can then hit the course full of confidence. We love good habits like this, but there is one habit we see all the time that we certainly don’t recommend…

NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE?

It’s not uncommon for us to see members playing a scuffed ball, using it until it eventually gets lost. But ball damage, such as worn dimples or surface cuts, can alter the airflow over your ball, making your trajectory more erratic and causing wayward shots and shorter carries.

You might think this would have minimal effect versus and unblemished ball, but a mark across just a few dimples can make 10 yards difference to a shot, as we’ve demonstrated in the illustration here.

IT'S AN EASY CHOICE

You have the ability to ensure your ball is the same on every hole, which is why we recommend finding one you like and sticking to it to improve your consistency.

One to definitely try is the Callaway Supersoft, which has surface contours on its dimples that reduce drag and enhance lift to increase carry time for longer shots.

Which one are you?

So you find yourself on the course facing 172 yards left to the pin; how do you work out which club to use? There is one method that many turn to, but we hope you’re not one of them...

 

PLUS OR MINUS 10 YARDS

Do you know how far you hit each iron, or do you just add or subtract 10 yards per club from your 150 club to find the one you need?

We come across many amateurs who do this, but you’d be surprised how far out this method is when we bring those golfers in for a gapping session, which helps explain why they miss so many greens.

Indecision
 
Gapping

COME AND SEE US FOR A GAPPING SESSION

During a gapping session we will hit lots of shots and work our way through your bag to get your all-important carry averages, from your wedges right up to your woods.

Having those exact distances for each club means you’ll never have to guess again. Combine this with a golf GPS and you can further reduce indecision and increase your confidence.

Odyssey
A new way to roll

Odyssey's O-Works range of putters fuses stunning looks with Microhinge Insert Technology to provide an unmatched, smoother forward roll - something which will help you hole more putts. But Odyssey haven't stopped there, as this highly popular line-up now includes a beautifully clean, simple red finish that's become a popular choice on tour.
