Number Four: Wilson 8802

Arnold Palmer made it famous, but one of the best putters of all time – Ben Crenshaw – elevated the Wilson 8802 to a special place in golf’s history. Nicknamed “Little Ben,” Crenshaw’s 8802 was with him through thick and thin, but a replica was used to win the improbable one in 1995 (see comments below). Said Crenshaw’s dad of Ben’s original 8802, “It was just a putter in Harvey Penick’s shop. Ben felt it and waggled it around for a while. ‘Dad, I’d like to have it,’ he said, so I bought it for him. That club’s been the best provider in the family.” The putter cost Crenshaw’s dad .

The 8802 is a simple putter with no heel-toe weighting to speak of and a very clean, simple look. Its design may have been inspired by Calamity Jane (see below), and it won nearly as many majors. Arnold Palmer used the 8802 (and a small revision, the 8813) to win several of his majors, and Phil Mickelson has always seemed to putt best with his remake (currently made by his sponsor Callaway – i.e. Odyssey) of the venerable 8802.

Number Three: Calamity Jane

Arguably the U.S.’ most famous golfer (Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods being the only real competition), Bobby Jones mastered golf long before The Masters came to be. His putter, nicknamed Calamity Jane, was a simple offset blade putter forged by Condie and sold by William Winton. The putter was almost 20 years old and already had its famous nickname when it was given to Jones in 1920. Jones replaced the original in 1926 with a duplicate known as Calamity Jane II (and mmade by Spalding). Jones won the last 10 of his major championships with Calamity Jane II and later gave the putter to the USGA Museum. The original remains on display at Augusta National Golf Club.

After winning the Grand Slam in 1930 and retiring, Jones began consulting for Spalding – at that time a clubmaking giant. From 1932 to 1973, Spalding produced a line of clubs under Bobby Jones’ name. Dozens of Calamity Jane models in both hickory and steel shafts were made in those 40+ years, but none contained the magic of the original and none won a major of their own.

The most viewed Ping G15 clubs review

The most viewed Ping G15 clubs review

Ping G15 golf clubs, with thinner and longer club head, increased stability, make great shots. This innovation has also increased the height of your golf shots and decreased the spinning of your golf ball while in midair. The moment of inertia or MOI of your golf shots are likewise increased.

 

Another common innovation present in the entire G15 line of PINGs is the redistribution of weight, shifting the center of gravity closer to the golf club face. This results in the increase of weight in the bottom of the club without sacrificing swing speed. Ultimately, this also helps with your golf shot trajectory and lessens the spin of your golf ball.

 

And, last but not the least, the look and feel of the G15 golf clubs is a big improvement over the G10 set of clubs. A redesigned full cavity graphics badge (instead of the old moon-shaped ones) makes your golf swings feel softer and your golf shots sound more solid. These three innovations allow you to have superior control over your shots.

 

The Ping G15 golf club line come with a G15 Driver, G15 3-Wood, the G15 5-Wood, PING G15 Irons (from the sand wedge to the 3-iron), and the G15 Utility/Hybrid Club.

 

If you are a current Ping G10 or Ping G5 user, you should definitely consider upgrading to the latest Ping G15. Technology and materials have improved and it will make a difference in your golf game. Besides, wouldn’t you want to be the first on the block with the hottest set of G15 clubs?

Most Famous Putters Part One

They say you drive for show and putt for dough, so that would make the putter many player’s “money club,” right? This week, we’re going to look at famous money clubs.

Putters, as we all know, come in many shapes and sizes. Putters (cheap golf clubs)can be shaped like Futura Phantoms or the Ping Docs and look perfectly normal sitting next to a Ping Answer or a Bullseye. Putters may be the most personal instrument in a player’s bag, with everything from the lie angle, face angle, grip, shaft length, and weight coming into play and combining to give that magical sensation – feel – to the player.

When the tournament is on the line, what famous putters (Ping Golf Clubs)stroked some famous putts? Find out in this week’s edition of Trap Five.

Number Five: PING

Karsten Solheim was a General Electric engineer and a golf nut. His engineering background and his passion for golf combined in his Phoenix garage where he began working on his putting game not by practicing his stroke, but by creating a new putter. Though he made several playable prototypes, only one made it out of his garage in the end: the original PING putter, so named because of the sound the putter made when it struck a golf ball.

Solheim’s Anser putter – a revision of the original PING – was used by Julius Boros to win the Phoenix Open in 1967, and sparked a trend that’s continued to this day: heel-toe weighting in putters (and perimeter weighting in all other clubs). Solheim’s PING putters spread the weight towards the heel and toe to minimize distance loss on off-center hits, effectively enlarging the sweet spot. Almost every putter today uses heel-toe weighting.

Number Four: Wilson 8802

Arnold Palmer made it famous, but one of the best putters of all time – Ben Crenshaw – elevated the Wilson 8802 to a special place in golf’s history. Nicknamed “Little Ben,” Crenshaw’s 8802 was with him through thick and thin, but a replica was used to win the improbable one in 1995 (see comments below).

The Most Important Golf Equipment That All New Golfers Should Have

The Most Important Golf Equipment That All New Golfers Should Have

Article by Edward Meyer







Most new golfers go on an unnecessary spending spree. Certain pieces of golf equipment will help you get your game off on the right foot. But not every product advertised on television or in infomercials will help improve your game. Most of these products will only hurt your wallet, not help your game. When you first start playing, you’re better off focusing on a few key pieces of equipment and saving the more advanced gadgets for later.

The first thing you need to invest in is a good driver. The primary thing you should know is there happen to be some “specialty” drivers out there, which aren’t exactly PGA sanctioned. Depending on where you are and what your goals as a golfer may be this might not be a problem for you. Different people have different needs when it comes to drivers. In general, drivers with flexible shafts provide greater distance but less control. If you have problems with hooks, slices, or rogue balls you might prefer sacrificing distance for added control by using a steel shafted driver.

You should also spend some time to look at the most comfortable shaft length for you to use before you buy also. This will take some trial and error to figure out what the ideal length is, on the contrary it will be time well spend when it comes to having lesser back pain after 18-holes.

Ball markers are also important pieces of golf equipment to have. This is especially important if you play with a group. These markers are used to mark where your ball stopped on the green and won’t interfere with the play of the others in your group. Golf etiquette dictates that the person farthest from the hole plays first. The play of the others in your group could be disrupted by your ball if a marker is not used on the green. It is important to have this inexpensive equipment when playing in a group.

You will need to invest in a decent divot tool, as well. It won’t help your game play but golf is a gentleman’s sport. Golf etiquette states that you should repair any damage done to the green so as not to impair subsequent players with nicks and clumps you’ve left behind.

When buying starter golf equipment, start small. You can add more expensive pieces as you learn the game more and work on building a set that will help you accomplish your goals on the course. Follow these tips to get the most value for your money when you first begin golfing.

The Most Powerful Move in Golf Review with Steve Elkington and Martin Ayers

The Most Powerful Move in Golf Review with Steve Elkington and Martin Ayers

Article by Nick Del Pozo







This article is written for those who would like an open and honest detailed review into the most powerful move in golf. I am personal friends with Martin Ayers and Steve Elkington. I have been fortunate to be able to work with Martin Ayers one on one. I met him over a six months ago through a site known as Secret in the dirt that Steve Elkington created as a free online community for every level of golfer to be able to connect and share anything and everything golf related.

Personally I own a golf academy for kids and through implementing what I have learned and teaching my personal students there is no doubt that the most powerful move in golf will change anyone’s swing immediately by following the simple drills outlined in the video.

So what is the most powerful move in golf ?

The Most Powerful Move in Golf is a collaboration effort between 10 time PGA tour winner Steve Elkington, Golf Instructor Martin Ayers along with legendary World Golf Hall of fame Jackie Burke.

Steve Elkington is an Australian professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. He spent over 50 weeks in the top-10 of the Official World Golf Rankings from 1995 to 1998. Elkington has won 10 events on the PGA Tour, most prodigiously the 1995 PGA Championship at the Riviera Country Club, which is his only major, and the 1991 and 1997 Players Championships. Elkington was a member of the International Team in the 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2000 Presidents Cups. In 1995, he was awarded the Vardon Trophy; this award is given annually by the PGA of America to the tour player with the lowest scoring average.

Martin Ayers is an Australian golf instructor. Martin developed a large following in his own right by expressing his unique ideas on Youtube and in various golf forums. He was also one of the earliest members of Secret in the Dirt when in launched in April of 2010.

He began working with Steve Elkington in the Spring of 2010. The concepts that he worked on with Elk are now presented here in “The Most Powerful Move in Golf.”

When the two connected, they began collaborating on Elk’s swing together, and began work on The Most Powerful Move in Golf. Within the video, you’ll discover:

1. How Martin Ayers came to understand The Most Powerful Move

2. Why it is so effective the average golfer

3. How to implement the Move into your swing easily and effortlessly.

Here are what a few people are saying about Martin and The Most Powerful Move DVD:

“I could go on for hours about the specifics and whatnot, but all I can say is that Martin is seriously a genius of the golf swing, through some unorthodox drills and ideas, you will get a lot better hitting the ball and can really change the way you look at golf “.

The wait for “The Most Powerful Move in Golf” seemed like an eternity! But I can tell you now it was well worth it!

“The video is a great piece of work. Martin has discovered something very important. If this isn’t Hogan’s Secret then Hogan never had one

Take if from a guy who feels like he has tried everything — I literally have read well over 150 books on this game — Martin’s stuff is the real deal. For the price of a round of golf at a municipal course (perhaps with a cart in some places), you can learn a move that will put more power, accuracy, and confidence in your game. That is the bottom line”.

“I bought & downloaded Martin’s video and got up at 5.00am this morning to try the swing. As a devoted TGM admirer I found the moves Martin succinctly described very useful and I did get the ball to fly 10-15% further.The biggest improvement I found was that the move kept the pressure points on my grip intact without having to grip the club any harder. Occasionally my grip separates at the top, not any more.The description of the swing was well described and easy to follow”.

“If you have not given Martin’s method a try all you are doing is cheating yourself out of a lot of great golf…”.
