Dean from OZ asked:


Does anyone know what material they use for the golf ball finding glasses like the vissiball glasses. Is it just the color blue tint that makes white objects look brighter.

Can it be that easy?

Two guys I know were failed by their teacher, so they decided to shove a golf ball and two paper balls in the teacher’s gas tank. Will that even do anything to the car?

Hit a Golf Ball Straight Down the Middle of the Fairway

Boris Tomson asked:


Hit A Golf Ball Straight Down The Middle Of The Fairway

If you have a swing fault that makes you hit slices or hooks then you need to learn how to hit a ball straight of the tee. Apart from the satisfaction of hitting the ball down the middle of the fairway, you will also increase your distance of the tee. What’s more, you will find yourself with an easier second shot to the green when you are nicely positioned in the middle of the fairway.Visit to : http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

What causes so many golfers the inability to hit a golf ball straight? The first thing to understand is why the golf ball moves to the left (a hook) or to the right (a slice) of the tee. Once you know how to fix a slice or a hook, you will then be in a position to learn how to hit a draw or a fade - which are basically just controlled versions of the hook and the slice but with less movement on the ball.

In order to keep this article short, I will describe what causes the slice and how to cure a slice; for the hook, the description and cure are the opposite of a slice. When the golf ball has a significant tilt of the spin axis to the right or in a clockwise direction, a slice will occur. With a slice, the ball ends up to the right of where you are aiming and the phrase is used when the flight of the ball is acute or inadvertent. The less severe version of the slice is called a “fade.”

When you understand the basics of the golf swing you will know that you have to return to the original place at impact if you want to hit the ball squarely and straight. When the club face is open at the point of impact, a slice will occur and the ball will spin in a clockwise direction. Generally, the swing path is correct but the golf ball is not hit squarely at impact; this is normally caused by a “weak grip.”

If you can not hit a golf ball straight, then the first thing to look at is your grip. It doesn’t matter what type of grip you prefer (an interlocking grip, an overlapping grip, or a ten finger grip) the factor that can affect the balls flight path is the strength of the grip. If you want to fix a slice, try moving your hands around to the right into a stronger grip position.http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

If you want to cure a slice, then try changing some of the following factors: Don’t grip the club too tightly so that your muscles tense up in your wrists and forearms. If you can work on increasing your golf swing speed then not only will you increase your distance, you should be able to reduce the amount of side spin and therefore cut down on the chance of slicing the ball. Check the flex of the shaft that you currently use; if you are a powerful hitter of the ball then use an extra stiff or stiff flex; if you are a medium hitter of the ball then use a regular or firm flex; and if you can’t drive the ball more than 200 yards, then use a ladies or a senior flex.

The setup position is also important if you want to hit a golf ball straight. Keep everything square and parallel to the target. Your feet, hips, and shoulders should all be parallel to the target line. With a driver, place the ball opposite the instep of the left foot and don’t stand too close or too far away from the ball - the sole of the club should be grounded and not tilting forwards or backwards.

Remember all the basics of the golf swing; keep your eyes on the ball, feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly flexed, spine straight and chin up. I won’t go into detail about the golf swing here, just take your club back straight and bring it down again on the same plane. Maintain the same swing speed throughout the backswing and the downswing - don’t try to over hit the ball.

Lastly, there are an other two types of swing faults that will prevent you to hit a golf ball straight - the push and the pull. As opposed the slice, the push shot happens when the ball shoots straight off to the right, and the pull is when the ball goes straight off to the left. The push is a result of an incorrect golf swing when the club goes through an in-to-out plane, and the pull is an out-to-in swing plane. The push or pull shot comes about due to an improper golf swing action and forgetting the basics of the golf swing. http://golfclub-review.blogspot.com

Personalized Golf Balls are a Perfect Gift for a Golf Addict

Muna wa Wanjiru asked:


Have you ever thought about the perfect gift for a golf addict? It could be pretty difficult to choose something he or she doesn’t already have; well, for such cases there is always the chance of ordering personalized golf balls. Regardless, of whether your friend or family member has already got such an item, it is impossible to get an identical design, since you will leave your personal imprint on the product. Thus, on Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, at weddings or on Christmas, you can always rely on personalized golf balls to send the right message of love, appreciation and gratitude. Like all custom-made items, there is a sentimental value these balls carry on.

There is another market tendency associated with the use of personalized golf balls: they have become a widely appreciated medium for advertising. In some cases, the use of a certain message can help support a special cause, not to mention that a company can bear the complete costs of these items. The popularity of such promotional means has reached unprecedented levels on a market that needs to be constantly reinventing advertising tricks and techniques. In the past, manufacturers would not take small or medium orders for personalized golf balls, a bulk quantity was a key condition for accepting a project.

Nevertheless, at present, you can order smaller numbers of personalized golf balls, as many as you’d need for trade shows, golf competitions, special sports program support or various kinds of parties. Orders can be placed directly on the sites of the manufacturers with all the details you’ll want to be inscribed on the items; each designer actually requires a certain procedure, and you’ll probably be asked to follow certain steps before the order is thoroughly processed. You may also use your own design and send it to the manufacturer via email or by uploading it directly on the site.

If you don’t bring your own material for the design of the personalized golf balls, you can always choose some of the many imprint photos available with the designer: afterwards you can add logos, customized texts or special graphics. If you’d like the model to be a two-color one the costs will be highly reasonable; nevertheless, for personalized golf balls that require the use of more than two colors, you’ll be charged an additional sum of money. All such details need to be discussed before actually completing the order, and it may not be a bad idea to learn the work conditions and the quotes from several manufacturers that activate on the market.
