How To Select The Right Driver For Your Golf Equipment
Article by Dean Caporella
Have you ever considered how important the driver is as part of your golf equipment? There is a propensity for less inexperienced golfers to go out and by the biggest and meanest looking club in the golf shop but if it doesn’t suit your style, mainly your swing speed then you will be heading off into the trees in search of your ball more often than not following a tee shot.
Golf equipment should contain a small selection of drivers and in this report, we’ll look at some of the aspects required in the make up of this all important tee shot club.
Golf Equipment-Analyzing The Driver
It makes sense, if a club has a larger head, then there is more chance of connecting to the ball in an area on the club head known as a “sweet spot.” Larger heads are a good idea for players with less ability as the margin for error during the ball connection is less. Better players are more able to get better control using a club with a smaller head.
It’s determined the advantage a club with the larger head has it’s ability to hold it’s line when striking the ball at impact. Smaller head clubs can have a tendency to “skew” off at the moment of impact requiring greater aim and control. More power is also generated behind larger clubs resulting in extra distance being generated when hit right on center.
Club Weighting
Weighting of clubs is a vital component of today’s clubs as players can adjust the height they hit the ball or control shots such as a draw or fade. Slicers eager to find a quick solution to their problem may go for a club with more of a draw bias and vice versa for a player who tends to hook a lot.
With a larger club head on a driver, the launch angle to penetrate greater distances is higher and golfers today are tending to steer towards this direction. A driver with a higher loft degree is highly recommended although if you are a beginner and receiving coaching then check with your mentor first who may be keener for you to build a little more control into your game before you start to worry about head design features on clubs.
Golf Equipment-The Driver Shaft
How flexible should the driver shaft be? This is a perplexing question for average players who seem confused by the give in a shaft. It’s reasoned that the more flexibility a shaft has the greater power behind the point of impact. This is true in a sense but be careful you don’t waste money here unneccessarily. Why? Because shaft flexibility should be in relation to the swing speed of a person’s swing. The slower the swing the more flexible the shaft; the faster the swing, the less flexible the shaft for better accuracy.
