A Golf Equipment Review - It's In The Golf Swing

Golf is probably like no other game when it comes to the type of golf equipment one must posses in order to maximize or otherwise improve one’s game.

But, before you begin investing your hard earned money in all of the latest golf technology that is somehow going to compensate for a lack of a properly executed golf swing,

Let’s have a quick reminder or a bit of a golf equipment review. The best piece of golf equipment that you can invest in is your golf swing. Get to know what your golf swing is and what you need to do to improve it!

Let’s start our discussion with the golf beginner. So many times I see parents running off to buy the young golfer the complete set of clubs before the youngster has even begun to take any whacks at the golf ball. Although the intensions are good, the money well spent really isn't.

Kids can have fun and play the game of golf with just about any type of equipment. And is it really a good idea to get a young person thinking about how their clubs fit them and what is the stiffness of the club shaft, the proper swing weight of the club… and on and on? They’ll be a mental case before their first round of play. Of course we've got some great junior golf equipment and accessories in our discount golf warehouse.

Even for those of us who have played for awhile, I muse at how any one person thinks a high dollar set of golf clubs is somehow going to improve an otherwise horrible golf swing.

Yet we see it all the time.

Mid handicap golfers are always fussing over things like what type of ball should they play. I generally suggest that they try to find a round one. I mean really folks. You’re basically a bogey golfer (which is great... the majority aren’t that good) that hits a good many decent shots during a round of golf. But by no means is the cover and materials of the golf ball going to take strokes off your game. Of course you shouldn’t go out and play with stolen range balls but a nice round inexpensive golf ball will do you right.

The point I am trying to make here is save your golf equipment review for another time and spend more time investing in your swing. Let more of the natural progression of your golf swing mechanics, and eventually your more consistent striking of any golf ball; begin to dictate what type of mental state you put yourself in over the golf clubs and golf equipment you do use.

If your golf swing is sound and you trust it, you’ll be able to hit any ol’ golf ball off of a pop bottle with a lost and found driver and sweep the $5 nassau from your buddies who, by the way, are probably still waiting on the miracles of golf technology to save them from their own cobbled together un-practiced golf swings.

Play Good Golf!
