Best Driver for Dad

November 28, 2008 Used Drivers Comments Off

So here we are again. The Holidays are upon us, and the question on the mind of people with loved ones that golf is…

“What is the best Driver?”

That’s not an easy question to answer. Anyone that tells you that it is, is lying to you. There are many factors that make it difficult, but at the same time, there are some ways that you can get close enough that he’ll REALLY be excited by the gift you bought him.

Step 1: What kind of golfer is he?

That’s an easy one to answer. If he plays once a week, he’ll be at a greater skill level than someone that plays once a month. Start with something like one of these drivers from Ping or Taylor Made.

If he’s playing less often, maybe a more forgiving club is in order.

Step 2: How old is he?

This one is crucial. If your golfer is 75, he has a slower swing-speed than a guy that is 45. I’d say the following is a good rule of thumb.

18-55 = Stiff Flex Shaft
55-65 = Regular Flex Shaft
66+ = Senior Flex Shaft

Here are a few examples of driers with stiff flex shafts…

Step 3: Should I just get a Gift Card?

Possibly. Here’s the down-side of that though. They MAY not have what he is looking for either. In any case, make sure that you are buying a gift-card for a place that they’ll actually go to.

Never Compromise Putters

October 28, 2008 Used Putters Comments Off

Vijay Singh won $10,000,000+ with a Never Compromise putter this year alone. While many of us subscribe to the “It’s the Indian, not the Arrow” theory, you can’t deny that they make a great product.

At the end of the day, will you win $10,000,000 with your putter? Probably not. But I CAN promise that you’ll at least think it’s better than what you are using…for a few putts at least.

Paul Casey’s Putter

August 14, 2008 Used Putters, What the Pros Use Comments Off

What putter is Paul Casey using? Let’s take a look!

From 2006 till now, he’s been fluctuating a lot of the clubs in his bag, but something that’s been relatively consistant has been the Nike Golf Unitized Retro Putter that he’s had in the bag. Several versions of the same model, but it’s usually some sort of a rendition of the Retro that he’s got in the bag.
