Question by Sam: Would it be bad If I waxed my golf clubs “not the club face” would it be bad for the club?
Also will it help the air travel easier around the club head making it more aerodynamic which would make my club head speed faster thus hitting further?

It wouldn’t be bad for the club, but you are not generating enough velocity vs the surface area for this to reduce drag. The club face generates the most drag and, as you’ve already stated, by rule you cannot wax the face.

You enter a golf store and are overwhelmed with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you see along with the golf balls, clothing and other golf accessories. If you are just starting to play golf, the task of selecting the golf clubs that would work for you could be a bit challenging.

First, you would need to know what a set of clubs is made up of. There are four main types of golf clubs: the Woods, the Irons, the Wedges and the Putter. Today, you may also come across hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a cross of a wood and an iron. People who are having a hard time hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, prefer to use these clubs. You are allowed to have up to 14 clubs and could be in any combination. An example of a good combination for your golf clubs would be one driver, one 4 wood, 3 through 9 iron, a lob wedge, a gap wedge, a sand wedge, a pitching wedge and one putter. However, the combination would entirely be up to you or the golfer as different combinations work for different people.

You then need to know your available options as you buy your golf clubs. You can either buy used or new. Although you would definitely save more if you choose to buy used golf clubs, you may encounter some issues like cracked shafts, worn grips and other problems that a new set would surely not have. If you are buying your first set, it usually makes more sense to buy new ones.

After deciding on buying a new or old set, you now have to decide if you will be getting a complete set or will just buy individual clubs by your own to make one set. Putting together your own set would be a bit more expensive compared to just buying a set of clubs that is already complete. Purchasing a complete set also saves you the hassle and the time in making decisions.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to buy the complete starter set, which includes one driver, a 3 wood, a 5 wood, the 3 through 9 irons, one pitching wedge and your putter. This could also include one sand wedge and a bag for your golf clubs. Although this set only has 11 or 12 clubs, as your game progresses, you could decide for yourself on which club to add to your set. You could eventually add a 2 iron, another wedge or a hybrid club.

Keep in mind that getting expensive golf clubs will not improve your game or help you play better. You should not spend 0 on just one driver if you could spend a lot less to get everything you need in one package. Getting a complete set would be the best option to save you money that would later on need for replacing lost golf balls.

It is true that some professionals like to select every club individually as per their specific requirement; it may be too much of a hassle for the weekend player to get into that. Especially if you are new to the sport, it is a better idea to go for a complete set – after all you may make a couple of wrong decisions if you go for individual ones. The complete set would provide every club you will need to play a complete and uninterrupted game, while it saves you the task of painstakingly selecting individual ones shop after shop. No doubt it works out cheaper as well when you buy a set. You may well get a good discount, unlike buying one at a time. Read on to find out a little more about club sets for the game of golf.

You may be wondering why you need a whole set.

Well, if you a professionally qualified player one can understand if you want to select every club of your kit to specific requirement. But if you are a beginner do not get carried away with this idea when you see a pro buying individual clubs. After all it takes years of practice to perfect any sport, and that holds so very true with golf. Rather than bungle up by buying the wrong clubs, you would be better if getting hold of a set. And what?s more, you?d probably get a discount on the kit, which is not very probable when you buy one club at a time. So, unless you are a seasoned veteran it is better to go for a kit. You could always add to it one step at a time when you are sure of what you need to change right?

The kit would include?

Different manufactures offer different packages when you go for a golf club kit, but any set should contain all the clubs needed to play a complete round of golf. Some companies throw in a few free balls, while others provide a kit bag to hold the clubs. You will no doubt be given a good driver with a fair number of woods and irons as well. The putter and the wedge should also be included in the set of clubs. The kit bag generally has pockets to hold your other odds and ends while a more comprehensive kit would include accessories such as gloves as well. What you buy is more of a preference based option, and one that is only limited by your needs and by your personal budget.

So go ahead and get a complete set of clubs if you are new to the game.

“good set, right price for beginner”

By Ray PGH (Pgh, PA)
My wife bought me these clubs for Christmas. I am a beginning golfer and the price was right- less than 0 for a new set of clubs w/ a bag. I’ve used them about 1/2 dozen times now and they’ve worked just fine. The driver makes a funny sound (my friends and I say it sounds like a church bell going “Gong”). Good deal for the price.

The Callaway X-22 Iron Set really sets the standard in golf irons. This set incorporates all of Callaway’s best technologies and builds on every set that has come before it to give you the most technologically advanced, golfer friendly complete iron set on the market. With the Callaway X-22 irons you’ll be hitting it straight and even every time.

 Callaway had continued its popular X series irons by coming out with a brand spanking new game-improvement version, the X-22 just in time for an early jump into the holiday shopping season. Golf iron set and golf club set are avalaible in golf set store.

Built from 17-4 stainless steel for softness and durability and employing something called “Precision Notch Weighting,” more weight is positioned closer to the perimeter which increases the moment-of-inertia (MOI) for more forgiveness and increased stability while at the same time keeping the center of gravity at an optimal position for that “ideal” trajectory as well as providing added feel.

One thing that I have not liked about Callaway irons in the past is the “clunky” look at address. The X-22 irons were designed with some “tour” features in mind such as a thinner topline and sole which is nicer in my opinion to look at while still maintaining the forgiveness of a “larger” looking iron. Kudos to Callaway for working on that.

Packed into the X-22 irons is some fancy technology that you’ve come to expect from Callaway Golf such as VHT, which is the variable face technology that allows more weighting on the perimeter of the club for more forgiveness, S2H2 which allows for weight to be removed from the hosel to be used elsewhere, and Modified Tru-Bore, which allows the shaft tip to extend through the hosel and clubhead to the sole of the iron and improves feel and control by moving the tip of the shaft closer to the center of the clubface. If you’ve played Callaway irons in the past, it’s something you are certainly familiar with.

Toss in the 360-Degree undercut channel which moves the center-of-gravity lower and farther back in the clubhead and you have a large sweetspot, which for those of us who’s swings don’t always repeat, is a very good thing.

The X-22 irons run from 3-iron through lob wedge with complete sets running either in a 3-PW or 4-SW. Righties and lefties can both try all what the X-22 irons have to offer today at your local Callaway authorized retailer.

 Overall we enjoyed this set quite a bit. If someone has been a Callaway fan in the past, they will really love these. They have raised the bar on the “X” series quite a bit this year, and we noticed instantly. You can read all about these clubs at our golf set store.

Question by Dan-O: Where can someone identify and locate a specific Izod club pullover?
I have an old Izod pullover jacket that I really want to replace and I can’t find out the make, year, model to help on my quest. I think it was made in the 80′s (possibly early 90′s) and was purchased in a golf pro shop I think. The tag (that is barely hanging on) says “Izod Club” in green and had a gold coat of arms next to it. The I in Izod is embroidered like a spool. There is not Izod logo on the outside of the jacket. If anyone knows of a place where one can identify older Izod garments or a clothing tag reference… or anything that may help it would be great.

Thanks

Make you on fire with your every golf clubs

To utilize what you have is a key to your success, no matter what kind of work you are engaged in. A couple of days ago, I submitted some similar articles about golf tips. To complete my goal on some level, the sequel goes as follows.

4. Load and pivot against your forward leg.

No.1: FASTEN YOUR FORWARD LEG. Find a strong pivot point to snap the club through at impact. Never allow your forward leg to slide, or you will lose your stability and a lot of yards and your valuable harmony. Support your forward leg to create a strong pivot to rotate your body enough and snap your golf clubs–not just with irons but also with woods.

No.2: ENSURE YOUR FINISH WITH A FULL ROTATION. Fully turn and make your weight bump to your left side to make sure your finish solidly on a firm left side. Attention please. The golf swing requires you to turn all the way through and not stop the moment when you hit the ball. Just finish your every step of golfing.

This would be the last tip of golfing I will submit in a short run. To watch carfully what the pros are doing is quite rewarding and makes much sense. If you try what I have suggested, I believe you will see better results and enjoy a better golf life.

Later, maybe I will submit something new about golf. Please check back on me soon! Thanks!

Question by Serena: Were you bothered by Time Share Guys in Punta Cana?(Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club)?
We absolutely loved our stay in Punta Cana. The beach, sea, everything was total HEAVEN!

I just wish someone had warned me about the deceptive Timeshare people! They wear white polo shirts and act like they work for the resort(I heard from other tourists, that they’re at MANY resorts in the DR) My husband and I were polite at first, because we thought Lubens worked for the resort. He told us he was there to HELP us, and show us around. We got into a golf cart. I thought he was taking us on a tour, but next thing I know, we’re at the Grand Oasis Resort meeting with a salesman named Reggie. I said,” We don’t want a Timeshare”, but he denied it was a timeshare! LOL! I suggested he give us the sales literature for us to read later, but he said they didn’t have any. My husband asked about a website, but he claimed they didn’t have that either. I said,”We’re not putting a “vacation club” on our credit card, while on vacation.We’d have to thoroughly research it.” Of course, Reggie chased us, and told us this great deal wouldn’t be available soon. We walked out and demanded a golf cart ride back to our resort. It was a gorgeous day, and we wanted to enjoy THE SEA! Reggie was very aggressive and annoying, and this whole experience wasted 45 minutes of our precious vacation time!

I want to warn other travelers, if these guys offer to help you say ,”No gracious.” first, and then just ignore them. Don’t let them waste a minute of your precious vacation time!

Also if you check out “Rip Off Reports” online, as I did. They have loads of people trying to get their money back and sue them. BEWARE! I’d love to hear about others experiences with this obnoxious group. I also don’t understand why other resorts allow them on their property to harass their guests.

It’s not just Punta Cana, all timeshare people are obnoxious. And yes, they are deceptive too. Why do they do this? It’s simple economics. MONEY! Lifestyle Holidays, or anyone for that matter, builds condos that would normally sell for maybe $ 200,000 as an example. Now, if I get convince someone that they can “own” part of paradise, for only a “fraction” of what it would cost to live here, people give into their emotions and buy. Lets say they sell a one week slot for only $ 5,000 down and $ 1,000 per year in maintenance. There’s 52 weeks in a year. So that $ 200,000 condo was just sold for well over $ 300,000. And they probably oversell, and they get residual income as well. Actually, its a very smart business model.

Unfortunately, the human element has been taken away. No one wants whats best for you, or cares about your interests or feelings. Bottom line is money. Now why are these sales people deceptive and so aggressive? This is high pressure sales at it’s finest. They know that if they give you any sales literature, or give you time to “think it over” you’re answer will be NO. They sell to your emotions, and they want logic on your part, to be involved what-so-ever.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience in Punta Cana. However, I can assure you that these time share people with their same high pressure deceptive sales tactics are in just about every tourist destination in the world. Punta Cana alone, is not the only victim of Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club
