There are so many drivers on the market today that you often get confused over what you should own. So, let me give you some pearls on what to think about when hitting a golf driver and what will help you in the future when you go to purchase a driver.

For starters, for the ladies, they don’t give you a lot of choices. They give you a Lady’s Shaft with a ten- or twelve-degree loft head on it.

So, if you’re a little bit taller that the average height lady and you’re strong enough, make sure to get the next shaft up, which is usually an A shaft, it’s a Senior Shaft. It’s nicknamed a Senior Shaft. It’s a little bit longer and it’s a little bit heavier, but you should be able to handle it.

Chip Shot – Bump and Run

I’m going to describe two very different golf shots to you. One is called a pitch shot with loft, and the other is called a chip shot with run. Now what’s the difference?

Well, first of all, sometimes the pin is in a situation where you have to go over an uneven lie, or you have to go over the edge of a bunker, or you have to go over a little tree and you need it to stop a little quicker.

So, you take out your loftier golf club, your lob wedge or your sand wedge. Put the ball in the middle of your stance, a little weight left and swing your arms up and down. And after it hits the green, it will slow down and stop because it has so much loft on it.

Now, for a chip shot, or a bump and run shot, it’s the same golf shot, but it’s done with a pitching wedge, or you could even use a 9 iron.

Core Golf Fitness Training For Maximum Power

Golf core fitness training is essential to give you maximum power in your swing. You are probably wondering what that core fitness is and how you get it. Well one thing you can be sure of, you don’t get it pumping iron or spending all your time on these machines in the gym.

What you need is what is known as ‘fitness for golf’ and you get that by practicing your golf swing. Massive muscles don’t make you swing better, and hours on the treadmill just let you walk round the golf course a bit faster. You only need to do that if you are driving farther, so concentrate on that more, and less on the walking. Improve your ability to swing that golf club round in a full arc and whack the ball down that fairway straight and long.

Build up Strength by Swinging the Club

Core fitness for golf refers to the strength and flexibility of the joints and muscles used when playing golf, and specifically when swinging the club. In order to build that up, what do think you should be doing? Swinging the club of course, or at least making the rotational swinging movement while you are training. Fitness for golf involves playing golf with a resistance. For example, swinging with a weighted club will improve your core strength. You will achieve the same thing by swinging with a dumbbell in your hands.
