Golf Balls
May 6, 2019
Many casual golfers tend not to put a lot of thought into choosing the right golf ball for them. However, if you want to play at your best (and who doesn’t ?), this is certainly a mistake: the right golf ball can help you gain distance in your drives, as well as making it easier for you to pull off tricky finesse shots.
Each of the various golf balls that are on the market has been designed and constructed with a difference balance of priorities between desirable qualities of distance, spin or control. Thus choosing an appropriate golf ball for you, is a matter of identifying which qualities are important to you, and which particular ball has the right balance of those priorities.
The first thing to understand is that there are three main types of golf balls: balata, two-piece, or a combination of both.
– Balata golf balls are softer balls with softer covers, designed to achieve greater spin and control. This type of ball is usually the best choice for low handicap players, and is in fact the type used by most professionals. Balata balls do however tend to be the most expensive type of golf balls.
– Two-piece golf balls have a harder cover, which creates less backspin when the ball is hit, allowing it to travel farther. Generally, this type of ball is more suitable for higher handicap players looking for distance as well as durability.
– There are also golf balls designed for players with lower swing speeds. These balls, which are often marketed towards women or seniors (but used by many men too), have a lightweight construction designed to help players achieve extra distance.
As well as the big factor – the choice of the type of ball, even relatively small unobtrustive features of the ball can also affect your game. For example, the dimples on the ball – smaller dimples tend to lessen trajectory of the ball in flight, whereas larger dimples tend to increase it. For this reason, you’ll almost certainly benefit by trying out a few different balls until you identify the type that suits you best.
When new to game of golf, as soon as you find a ball that you’re comfortable with, you’ll be tempted just to stick with it. However, as you become experienced in the game, you will discover that you can improve your play by varying your choice of ball depending on the weather and course conditions. For example, in wet conditions you might select a ball which spins less and travels farther, whereas in arid conditions when the course surface has been made rock hard by the sun, a softer ball which lands softly and spins, is more suitable. Likewise, golf balls come in two compressions – 90 and 100 – the former being more suitable for cold days, and the latter for hot weather.
Choosing the right golf ball really is important to playing a good game. There are many, many choices on the market. Explore which golf ball you may want to use and then try it out. Experiment and in time, you’ll find exactly the right golf ball for you.

Origin of Golf
May 6, 2019
Golf is a very old game, we all know this, but what isn’t well known is what country invented golf? During research we discovered that nearly every country has a claim to Golf’s origins. Some say it originated from bored shepherds knocking around stones with their crooks. This was disproved as it is widely known that herding sheep is anything but boring. You walk amongst the wool covered beasts trying to prevent a stampede and see if you’re bored.
The first accepted historical written reference to golf, or ‘Gowf’ as the Scottish hillbillies called it, was in 1457, etched on the side of a statue. Apparently the archers of the time were spending too much time playing ‘Gowf’, and not enough time shooting arrows. The Scottish government declared it against the law to play golf and inscribed this mandate on the side of a statue.
What no one seems to be clear on is where golf came from before this? How did golf become so popular in 1457 that it had to be banned? Did it just spring up from the ground, a fully formed sport ready to be played? Of course not, that would be silly. Like all things in life it was a slow building process that culminated in creating the greatest sport the world has ever known.
During our hard hitting investigation we came across a reference in a wax tablet, unearthed in ancient Rome. Our research team here conducted a thorough and exhausting investigation into this wax tablet that led us across the Pacific Ocean, but not really as we pretty much never left our office. Unless you count trips to Taco Bell. Our objective was to finally uncover the truth behind golf’s origins and what we found blew us away.
The first form of golf, played around 122 A.D., was very similar to modern golf in that you swung a club to hit a ball, but the ball you hit was actually your opponents and by ball I mean testicles.
Yes golf started out as a pain threshold game wherein the two, or more, players would take turns hitting each other in the “Shag Bag” until one passed out, tapped out, or died. It was a rough sport, played only by the nobility of the time. Women were forbidden to play, but simply because they lacked the necessary ‘equipment’. This version of Golf was eventually banished as it was much too silly.
Some people have compared modern day golf to this much older version in that, they feel like their getting nailed in the ‘Shag Bag’ every time they pay for their round.
Eventually around 1691 Golfers realized they could enjoy a fun filled, painless version of golf. They began hitting actual little stones across wide open fields. They used rabbit holes as their golf holes and they began tallying the number of strokes each player had.
Once again some people in power didn’t like the common man having any fun. To curb the masses from playing ‘Lucifers Game’, as the church began calling it, the Scottish Parliament passed a law forbidding anyone from hitting a stone with a stick unless they were dressed as a clown. The penalty for hitting a stone with a stick was called the ‘Nib Nibber’ and involved a trained poodle and a jar of peanut butter.
For the love of the game, golfers obeyed this law and began dressing as court jesters and circus clowns whenever they played golf. (Yes circuses were around in 1691) We believe this is where the tradition of dressing like a complete ass came from. A tradition that many golfers carry on to this day.

Wrist Cock in the Golf Swing
May 5, 2019
There are two ways your wrist can hinge, or cock, in the backswing. Every golfer does it one particular way. To get the most out of your swing, you have to hinge them both ways, which few recreational golfers do.
Hold your hand together in front of you, palms and fingers touching as if in a praying posture. Now hinge your wrists directly up toward you, so your fingers point straight up in the sky. That’s the first way to hinge your wrists, and that’s the one very golfer does. It’s the way you would hinge your wrists if you were chopping wood by lifting the axe straight over your head and swinging it back down.
Put your hands in the starting position again and hinge your wrists to the right and left, so each hand is alternately folding back on itself. That’s the second way, which is the way recreational golfers should learn how to do. It’s the way you would hinge your wrist if you were hitting a forehand shot in tennis.
The reason this is important is that allowing your right wrist to hinge backwards on the backswing preserves the square alignment of the clubface you had at address by preserving the angle your left wrist had at address. The right arm folds on the backswing and if the right wrist does not fold backwards with it, the left wrist is forced to hinge backwards, taking the clubface out of alignment. Then you would have to make a correction on the downswing to square up the clubface, and that is awfully hard to do consistently.
Learning how to hinge the right wrist takes a drill and a mirror. The drill will teach you the new movement and how it feels. The mirror will let you make sure you’re doing it right, because what needs to happen takes place behind your back. Remember while you’re doing all this that letting the right wrist bend backwards is an effect, not a cause. You don’t deliberately hinge it back; it is something that happens by itself when you take the club back correctly.
Take your grip on the club and hold it out in front of you. Notice the amount of bend there is in the left wrist. Now swing your shoulders and arms around so your hands are in about the place in space they get to at the top of your backswing and do not let the amount of bend in the left wrist change. You will find that your right wrist bent backwards. That is what you’re looking for. That’s the wrist hinge you want to add to your swing.
Stand with your mirror to your right, and swing to the top of your backswing, keeping the left wrist as it was at address and letting the right wrist hinge backward. It’s really not hard to do, but if you haven’t been hinging the right wrist, it will feel quite strange. Practice this every day until it you get accustomed to the feeling, and keep checking in the mirror to make you sure you’re doing it right.
The payoff comes in the downswing. As you start down, maintain this right wrist hinge until the momentum of your swing forces it to release. That will happen when the hands get about hip height. When the right wrist unhinges, the right hand comes into the ball providing effortless power and real accuracy.
