Golf Putters

dominic — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:48:01 +0000

Golf putters are specialized golf clubs that are generally used on the putting green. The putter club is considered as an indispensable club in a golfer’s bag, because the act of putting is taken as the most precise aspect in the game. This has lead to the careful design of golf putters for smooth strokes, polished impacts, good glides, and bounce-less ball launch.

The effective design angles for golf putters loft should not be less than 5 degrees, and not more than 10 degrees. Among the other clubs, the golf putters are the only clubs with bent shafts enabling for the placement of the line of the straight part of the shaft at the “sweetpot”, for the best putt. Moreover, accuracy is increased because the golfer can direct their swing through the ball as the bent shaft eliminates the perception that the golfer is behind the ball.

Traditionally, the clubheads of golf putters are made by forging, which is similar to the production of iron clubs. However, the process of forging has resulted into clubheads which are short, thick, and slightly curved form front to rear. This has lead to the evolution of the design of the clubhead through investment casting method. The casting method has opened different designs and configurations for golf putters’ clubheads. Furthermore, casted clubheads are cheaper and easier to produce in large quantities than forged ones. Moreover, casted clubheads have L-shaped side profile, with a thinner flat clubface. Unlike the forged clubheads, the weight of the head is concentrated on its perimeters, resulting into an increased inertia of the clubhead. New materials have also improved the performance of clubheads.

Variations of golf putters include long-shaft putters, chippers, and trainers. The long-shaft golf putters are those that have longer shaft lengths ang grips than the typical 31-35 inches shaft length. These longer shafts limit the degrees of freedom of a golfer which would influence his putting consistency. Chippers on the other hand are similar in appearance and feel to the typical golf putters, with a higher loft of 30-35 degrees though. The higher loft angles are responsible for lifting the ball out into the green. Trainers however are training tools that guide golfers into the correct techniques of putting. Trainers such as the breakaway, trains a golfer to have a steady putting motion by eliminating the sudden pressure applied by the hands in swinging the club.

Hybrid Golf Clubs

dominic — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:17:13 +0000

Hybrid golf clubs are generally golf clubs that are made from a combination of two different materials with improved characteristics and better properties. It has been observed that long irons are difficult to hit because of the rather small face and the low-loft clubfaces. Thus, these long irons are replaced with the hybrid golf clubs that produce a higher trajectory, to ensure an easier hit.

In order to ensure that hybrid golf clubs truly are an improvement over the traditional wood and iron clubs, the head is made similarly to fairway wood clubs only that, these hybrid golf clubs are made of hollow steel or titanium. Moreover, the faces are slightly convex, sufficiently narrower, and do not extend back from the faces as far as the other types. Due to its convex configuration, there is a trampoline effect which increases the lash that is applied to the ball when launched. Aside from these, hybrid golf clubs possess a length and lie that is tantamount to that of iron clubs.

In terms of design, there is no limit to the possibility of the design for hybrid golf clubs. Most hybrid golf clubs have bulging, high-mass back, as opposed to the muscle back, and cavity back of the iron clubs. The beauty of having these hybrid clubs is that manufacturers can actually combine the flat faces of an iron club with a wood-like shape, and produce a new clubs that actually works favorably. These hybrid golf clubs allow a swing through a turf or sand with a more remaining momentum because of the added weight that is responsible for increasing the force applied, yet slowing down the clubhead speed. Players with slow swing speed prefer these types of hybrid golf clubs.

The hybrid clubs are comparable to the iron clubs in terms of distance carried by the ball, due to the wood-like design of its heads. Although hybrids may seem to be similar in performance with a wood club of the same loft, hybrid golf clubs actually behave differently. There are two things that one has to note in the behavior of hybrids. The first thing is the increase in the launching angle such that the ball is sent higher than iron clubs. The other thing is the increased loft along with a tighter impulse that results to a higher ball backspin. These behaviors created by hybrids can work to the advantage of any golfer.

Golf Irons

dominic — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:55:46 +0000

A golf iron club is basically a golf club with an iron clubhead. Although, alloys are already used as clubheads in modern iron golf clubs, there are still a high number of iron golf clubs preferred by most golfers. The standard set of 14 golf clubs usually contains a lot more irons, than woods.

The variations of iron golf clubs in a standard set are distinguished by the length of the shaft, size of the clubhead, clubface’s angle of loft, and the lie angle. Furthermore, golf iron clubs are numbered accordingly, such that 1 iron has the lowest loft, the longest shaft, and the smallest clubhead through the 9 iron which has the highest loft, shortest shaft, and the biggest clubhead.

The three important components of an golf iron club are the clubhead, shaft, and grip. The clubhead can either be forged, for easier adjustment range; or casted, for a wider design range. Since the iron number is disproportional to the shaft length, golf iron clubs with higher numbers are heavier than those with lower numbers. On the other hand, the shaft is the real driver of the iron. The shaft determines the distance and accuracy of a shot. The most common iron shaft is steel, although there are shafts that are made of wood, graphite, or composites. The shorter the length of the shaft is, the higher is the number of the iron. Finally, the grip enables the golfer to hold the shaft properly by covering the top of the shaft. Golf Iron grips are made from rubber, leather, and other materials that are durable and long lasting.

Traditionally, golf iron clubs were made by forging, while modern clubs are already made by casting methods. There are two distinctive designs of the golf iron clubs which include the muscle back, and the cavity back. The muscle back has a small “sweetspot” which makes it difficult for the player to hit the ball consistently. This is due to its solid head which has an unevenly distributed weight around its perimeter. However, if muscle back golf iron clubs precisely hit the ball, greater distances are covered as compared with cavity backs. The cavity back, is an iron club made by casting. There is a distribution of weight along its perimeter that increased the “sweetspot” size providing more opportunity for the ball to be hit and sent airborne. This is the reason why amateur golfers prefer them over the muscle type.

Golf Woods

One of the important equipment needed in playing golf, is the club. There are a number of clubs used in playing golf, but the traditional club that is used is the wood golf club. The golf club plays a vital part in the game as it is responsible for sending the ball as far out into the course, and as nearer to the holes. The wood golf club is said to hit the ball at far distances than any other golf clubs.

The traditional wood golf club is one which has a head made from hardwood, typically persimmon. Wood golf clubs are generally classified as drivers, and fairway woods. There are fourteen clubs in the traditional set, which compose of a driver, two fairway woods, a putter, and ten irons. Basically, the driver, and the fairway woods are made from persimmon, or other hardwoods.

The driver is generally considered as the longest and the lowest-lofted wood, and is also known as 1 wood. A driver can be either hit from the turf, or off the tee for the long-yardage holes. However, a high level of skill and a sufficient amount of luck are needed when hitting the driver from the turf. On the other hand, the fairway woods are the high-number woods, which are shorter and stiffer, and are designed for shots that require long distance. These are also designed for shots from off the turf.

Fairway woods are designed such that these have shallower face heights allowing the players to have the exact center of the club as they hit the ball from the ground. Moreover, fairway wood golf clubs have a higher loft in order to lift the ball out of the turf, and avoid low obstacles such as hills.

Although metal and composites have replaced the traditional wood golf clubs today, these are still referred to as woods of metal woods because the design and the purpose at which these clubs are made for have not changed at all.

Used Golf Clubs

dominic — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 22:51:02 +0000

When you decide to take up golf, one thing that can knock you back is when you find out how much you are going to have to pay to own your first set of golf clubs.

Don’t let this hold you back. There is a cheaper way to own your first golf clubs and that is by buying a good set of Used Golf Clubs.

The problem with cutting costs of your golf clubs is that quality golf equipment comes with a price tag to match.

If you buy cheap and inferior golf clubs, then you are more likely to end up playing inferior golf which is certainly not enjoyable. Then you start playing less until you have finally given up and you low quality golf clubs sit rusting in your garage.

OK, that sounded pretty depressing. Now for the good news!

The chances are, that someone who has splashed out for a good quality first set of beginner golf clubs has dedicated themselves to the game. Got good at golf and looked after their precious golf clubs in the process. Now they are looking to upgrade to a more advanced set and have no use for their shiny well kept beginner set.

An even better scenario is where someone has had a brief thought that they definitely want to get good at golf at no cost and gone out and bought the best set of clubs that they could, only to find that they are not really that interested in golf and now want to get rid of the clubs.

And that’s where you come in. You can swoop in and snap up a set of nice used golf clubs that will save you money that you can spend on all those golf ball that you are going to lose

Where can you find Used Golf Clubs

The best place to start is your local pro shop. Not only will they have sets of used golf clubs (and plenty of single used golf clubs), but you can also do your research on finding what clubs you want by browsing through the new sets of clubs.

Then jump online. Check out the following websites where you can buy quality used golf clubs:

Used Golf Clubs at Ebay – A great source of used golf clubs. And plenty of other used gear too.
Used Golf Clubs at Amazon.com – A massive range of used golf clubs. Many different quality brands can be found here.
Callaway Pre-owned Golf Clubs – A huge range of certified Used Callaway Golf Clubs. Not such a great place if you are not after a set of Callaway Golf Clubs though!

Nickent Pipe Putter (Flare Tip Blade)

Nickent Pipe Putter (Flare Tip Blade)

When you’re on the greens, nothing is more important that alignment. The Nickent PP/005 Flare-Tip Blade Pipe Putter is designed with this in mind. The Pipe putter was designed with a cylinder pipe shape on the top provide a three-dimensional visual readout of exactly where your putter is lined up. Old alignment putters were only two-dimensional, allowing only half the visualization needed to sink longer, tougher putts. The diameter of the Pipe putter cylinder matches the diameter of a golf ball (1.68 inches), making this an exceptional alignment aid putter. Essential to Pipe’s performance is the ultra-light thermoplastic centerpiece surrounded by heavier steel, which pushes additional weight to the perimeter of the clubhead. In addition, the thermoplastic material is strong, tough, and resistant to abrasion, so you can count on this putter round after round after round.

Available in five different models, this flare-tip blade putter features a shorter Pipe section than the mallet models and no perimeter bars on the outside of the clubhead. This enables the blade putter with a substantially higher moment of inertia (MOI) than other blade putters on the market. Putters with flare-tip hosels generally have less offset, and are more blade-like in design. This type of design usually works best for golfers who like to rotate the blade open and shut through the stroke.

About Pipe Technology
The Pipe putter name is an acronym for Putting Inline Performance Enhancement. This patent-pending and USGA-conforming technology combines three-dimensional capabilities with the most extreme perimeter weighted putter allowed by physics to deliver a club that allows the ball to roll true, straight and directly where you’ve aimed. A heavy tungsten plug in the rear of the pipe section accounts for 15-percent of the putter’s weight. This produces a very high moment of inertia (MOI) to resist twisting on miss-hits, and to bring the center of gravity (CG) further back than any available putter design. This weighting system also gives the ball 25-percent less skid and roll than other leading putters, so not only will you have a better aim and better feel, but the ball will actually follow the path you’ve lined up. Compare this alignment-weighting system with any putter on the market and you’ll quickly see why Tour pros and amateurs alike are making three-putt greens a thing of the past with the Pipe putter.

Nickent Pipe Putter (Flare Tip Blade) Features:

Flare-tip blade putter features a shorter Pipe section than the mallet models and no perimeter bars on the outside of the clubhead
Cylinder pipe-shape provides a 3D visual readout to zero in on the hole
Alignment cylinder matches the diameter of a golf ball (1.68 inches)
Ultra-light thermoplastic centerpiece is strong, tough and resistant to abrasion
Steel-surrounded cylinder pushes additional weight to the perimeter of the club head
