•Stack and Tilt Golf Swing What Does That Mean
There has been a lot of talk over the past few years about the so-called stack and tilt golf swing. Apparently about two dozen PGA Tour players have adopted it, including some champions like Rick Weir and Zach Johnson, as well as Aussie Aaron Baddeley, among others. This article will explain where the terms stack and tilt come from and what is going on with this approach to the golf swing.
So What’s With “Stack and Tilt”?
It is really a catchy little phrase that has worked well for the people...
•The Medicus Driver Can That Crazy Looking Thing Work
Most golfers have seen videos about the Medicus driver, usually featuring Tour pros like Mark O’Meara, Camilo Villegas, or other golf celebrities, including Hank Haney, swing coach for Tiger Woods. I’ve always wondered if that crazy looking thing actually worked. The curiosity built to the point where I gave it a try.
The First Swings Cause Concern
The first sensation is that the club head is quite heavy. I didn’t expect this and it felt funny, but since this is a practice-only club, what’s...
•Article Series How to Cut 10 Strokes Off Your Game Using Medicus
This is a series of articles the goal of which is to help golfers improve their game by a significant number of strokes using various Medicus products and following the advice given in the articles.
But first we need to set some baselines. It may not be out of the question for a golfer who normally shoots 100 to improve his/her game by 10 strokes and start averaging 90. Of course this would be a huge improvement, and any golfer who shoots these kinds of scores would probably be thrilled with...
•The Basics of Buying Ladies Golf Clubs Part 1
Ladies are at a disadvantage when it comes to putting together a set of golf clubs that fits them well and from which they can get the most out of their games. The reason is that there are few choices in normal off-the-shelf ladies golf clubs. With typically less than 10% of sales for a golf club company coming from ladies golf clubs, there are simply few choices in club styles, shaft flex, swing weights, or lofts normally available in most golf shops. An exception to this is the excellent...

Irons
Golfers with slower swings should take the following into consideration when choosing their irons. First of all, you should probably have a 6 or 7 iron as your longest iron club. Only carry a 5 or even a 6 iron if you can hit it confidently and consistently. Most people with slow swings cannot accomplish this. Higher number fairway woods and hybrids will replace the long irons. Another consideration is a wide sole that is rounded to prevent from digging more into the ground and...
•Custom Golf Clubs The Way To Go
If you really want to get the most out of your golf game and enjoy the sport as much as possible, custom golf clubs are your best option. The downside of having custom fitted and custom made clubs is obviously the cost. However, I have spoken to certified custom club makers who say that they can get a golfer into a high quality set for about the cost of an off-the-shelf set from the top club sellers like Calloway or Titleist, for example. These clubs will not carry the leading brand names of...
•Nancy Lopez Golf Clubs Great Choices For Women Golfers
Until recently it was one size fits all for women golfers. Since most major golf club companies had less than 10% of their sales in ladies golf clubs, they offered women few if any choices in club length, shaft flex, swing weight, etc. LPGA Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez has come to the rescue with an excellent product line for women golfers.
Club Fitting for Women
The company offers at least a basic level of on-line club fitting, which is far better than nothing. They have several lines of...
•Ping Hybrid Golf Clubs
There are two product lines in the Ping hybrid golf clubs lineup. These are called the Rapture hybrids and the G5 hybrids. The Rapture is the newer of the lines, and as you will surmise from the discussion below, Ping club designers were working to obtain a center of gravity (CG) that is lower and farther back in the club face to make the ball easier to get up into the air.
Rapture Hybrid Golf Clubs
Three different materials are welded together to make the Rapture club head. The body of the...
•Hybrid Golf Clubs Should You Use Them
Hybrid golf clubs have appeared in the past few years, and their popularity will no doubt continue to increase. Phil Mickelson used a hybrid numerous times during his win at the 2007 Player's Championship. Many other top PGA Tour players use hybrid clubs as well, and the popularity of these clubs will continue to skyrocket. Taylor Made has said that one-fourth of all its wood sales in 2007 will be hybrids. Almost one-third of U.S. golfers now choose to carry a hybrid golf club in their bags...
•Golf Drivers Distance Distance And More Distance
The driver is considered the second most important club in the golf bag after the putter. This is because it can normally be used 14 times per round on a typical par 72 golf course, and more importantly because the tee shot sets up each hole. An accurate drive can make the rest of the hole seem easy, while a drive that is off line and in the rough, fairway trap, or behind a tree or in a water hazard can cause enormous problems and make par almost impossible.
