Gold Equipment

[ad_1]

Every game of golf is based on playing a number of holes in a given order. More particularly, golf is a sport where individuals or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs. Golf is one of the few games where no fixed standard playing area is necessary, but it is defined by a certain number of rules and it does need some particular equipment to be properly played if one dreams to going low, shooting that perfect score.

There are a mind-blowing number of choices of equipment used for golf at the disposal of today's players. This indeed makes it much harder for golfers-especially amateurs-to know which products will best fit their individual games' needs. The fact of the matter is that playing with equipment that does not fit a golfer's particular needs and experience can produce more harm than good, both in terms of scoring and enjoyment. Thus, collecting as much information as possible and learning the basics apart from any new technological developments on the golf equipments used today, becomes a must; both for golfers to make well-informed buying decisions and to get the most out of their games.

According to the golf game's rules a player can not carry more than fourteen clubs during a game. So, most of today's golf players do possess multiple clubs but always carry no more than this maximum permitted club number. The major types of clubs are three and are referred to as woods, irons (wedges) and putters. Woods are used by golfers when they wish to go for a long shot from the tee or fairway, while irons are used mainly to cover precision purposes, like shots from fairways as well as from the rough. Wedges, which are iron clubs, are used for games played on difficult grounds, such as sand or the rough, and in order to approach shots to the green. But when a golf player is on the green, putters are mostly used. These clubs can also be useful when playing from bunkers or for some approach shots.

Apart from the number of clubs needed for a given game, the golfer has to carry golf balls and golf shafts. With a surface that has a pattern of 300-400 dimples designed to enhance the ball's aerodynamics, modern golf balls have a two-, three- or four-layer design constructed from various synthetic materials. But depending on the method of construction and the materials used, a golf ball's characteristics can be greatly affected-such as distance, trajectory, spin and feel. Golf shafts are used between the grip and the "club head". The profile of the golf shaft is circular in shape, while some of the strongest and lightest materials are used for its production. Graphite and tempered steels are used for the best strength. The latest, USGA approved, profiles are the Triangle Golf Shafts or Trigraphite Shafts, introduced in 2006.

Finally, golf tees are used to place the golf balls on top before hitting them with the golf clubs. Usually made of wood or plastic tees resemble nails with a small cup on their heads and are pushed into the ground for the balls to rest upon. Most of a golfer's equipment items are transported in golf bags and golfers prefer to wear special shoes with exchangeable spikes attached to the soles for a better grip onto the grass. Some also prefer wearing gloves that help their grip when handling the golf club and prevent blistering from occurring.

Golf club ratings can mean different things to different manufacturers and the companies which rate them, such as golf magazines. The ratings are based on the quality of the club as well as its ability to get the golf ball from tee to hole. Reviewing the ratings can be a useful means of determining which golf clubs may be best for you.

Nike

For a quarter of a century, Nike did nothing but manufacture footwear and sports apparel. In just seemed natural to progress to the manufacture of golf equipment and it did so in the late 1990s.

In particular, Nike’s drivers have received some top ratings and propelled the company to a top reputation in the industry. Considered some of the best of the best are the Nike 350cc forged driver, the Nike 450 cc driver, and the CPR woods. These have received a rating of 4.5 out of a possible 5 points from one popular golf website.

The highest rated golf club manufactured by Nike, however, is the Sasquatch Sumo 460. This club has received an overall rating of 4.59 out of 5 points and won the Golf Digest’s Editor’s Choice award in 2006 for drivers. The Sasquatch has produced such reviewer comments as “seven-month upgrade…still in love with this club” and “I can’t count how many times my regular playing partners demanded to hit this driver”. It was also proclaimed to have the ability to get a golfer’s long game under control. Still another reviewer claimed that the Sasquatch provided “huge distance, literally unbelievable forgiveness, yet workable when you want it to be”. It was a recommended buy for anyone who wished a weight-adjustable driver.

Titleist

Titleist enjoys a long and venerable reputation as a manufacturer of golf equipment. In terms of ratings, Titleist clubs are not as highly revered as those from Nike, however. Their highest-rated driver is the 905T.

Internet Ratings

Be aware that looking at golf club ratings online can be deceptive. Some companies actually pay freelance writers to post a favorable review without actually having tried the club. Determine if the reviewer has any other postings online or whether there is only one under their name. If you can only find one review, chances are it is a bogus one.

Golf club reviews can be quite beneficial, but remember that there are more factors than the rating alone to consider before making your golf club purchase.
