Match clubs to style Golf clubs must be matched to your style of play as well as your build and posture. To help you find the best tools for your game, consider these impor­ tant factors as you shop: CLUB WEIGHT: Find a weight that enables you to swing your club at the greatest speed with the most control. Lighter clubs permit greater control and are, therefore, usually better for most players. Recommended driver weights are usually in the 12- to 13-ounce range, the way a club feels should be the priority in selection rather than the official sw- ingweight measurement used to categorize clubs. ?gp] LENGTH: Length is related to weight; the club will feel heavier the longer it is. Resist the temptation to buy a longer club unless you can handle it; the danger is poor control for as long as you own your clubs. Though you do sacrifice some distance with reduced length, your abili­ ty to control the ball will most likely result in better results on the golf course, which will far outweigh any loss in distance. LOFT: Measured by the angle of the face of the club in relation to the neck, loft determines how high your shot will be as it leaves the club. Make sure the set of clubs you buy has a consistent pro­ gression of lofts. Your professional can measure the loft to make sure your set is uniform. LIE: The angle between the shaft centerline and the ground, lie is respon­ sible for making sure that your club can be properly rested on the ground. If the lie is not correct, your ball will not leave the face of the club correctly. In general, if your shorter, or if you lean farther over the ball, then you'll need flatter clubs than a taller or more erect golfer. GRIP: If your grip is the wrong size, you may hold your club in a manner which causes substantial hooking or slicing. Your golf professional can con­ duct some simple tests to determine if your grip is proper, and correcting an improper grip is relatively easy. Also important is the material used in your grip, whether leather, cord or rub­ ber. Your choice should give you a firm grip without a slippery feel, particularly if you wear a glove. Several commercial products are available to help make your grip more secure. PUTTER SELECTION: Check the lie and the length to make sure you're com­ fortable with your putter. If you're hav­ ing problems with your putting, try a heavier choice which helps you reduce wrist action. There are a wide variety of putters out today claiming to make the job easier; its best to try out several on the course before deciding if the adver­ tising is true. Because clubs represent a substantial investment, it's worth taking the extra time to shop around and try out all the alternatives. The right decision will allow you to play up to your potential for a more enjoyable and comfortable game. Experts recommend that to improve your golf game, you should match your club to your style of game, in addition to height and weight. pi i1 m if CREATIVE POOL & SPAJ P.
