Your new shirt awaits If you haven't bought a golf-specific polo in a few years, you are missing out. You might think that any old shirt will do, but today's garments are packed full of technology that is lightweight and breathable; a delightful combination for the summer. If you're still to be persuaded, bring in any old shirt and we will give you £10 OFF selected ones in-store. |
|
Which club do you use most? The answer is your putter, and by some margin too. But how many of you are still using any old putter rather than one that is custom fitted to your stroke? From different head shapes to various alignment aids to multiple putter lengths, there are several ways in which your putter needs to be correctly suited to you. So come and speak to a member of the team in July and we'll give you a FREE fitting and lesson with selected putter purchases. |

The past few months have seen us talk a lot about the importance of using clubs that are suited to your game because, ultimately, they’re going to give you the most help when out on the course. One piece of equipment we haven’t touched on yet, which needs just as much attention, is your putter. |
How do you narrow down the options? If you come by the shop to buy a new putter, you’ll be faced with an array of styles. From different head shapes and alignment guides, to various lengths and grip types. So how do you know which one will help you hole more putts? There are some trends you can look to. Larger mallet putters like this PING Sigma G Craz-E tend to suit golfers with straighter putting arcs, while they are also a little more stable to help with shorter putts. In comparison, blades like this PING Vault 2.0 B60 can usually help those of you with more of an arcing stroke, while some players also prefer the feel a blade offers. Of course, the most sensible thing to do is come to us once you have a shortlist and we can advise you on which model will best suit your stroke type and take you through a full custom fitting. Just imagine how many shots you could drop by holing more putts.
