Featured Golf Tip
Proper Equipment - Putting Tips:
"When
selecting putters be aware that the ball should be lifted slightly off the turf
and then slide about 6 inches before it begins to turn over and roll on a 20
foot putt. Tests have shown a ball that
begins to roll immediately without lift and slide will not roll as true or stay
on line as long."

Effects of the Groove Rule Change in Irons and Wedges
By: J.L. Lewis, PGA TOUR Golfer
 The new rule implemented by the USGA which went into effect January 1,
2010 will change the game of golf in several ways. The rule puts
restrictions on the shape of grooves in irons and wedges for
professional competitive golf. Visit the USGA's website for more details about this rule change. The
ball is going to have as much as 50 percent less spin on irons and
wedges. This means the ball will fly lower, land harder, and react
totally different on shots from the rough and around the greens.

PGA Golfers Adapt Golf Equipment to New Groove Rules
Interview with PGA TOUR TaylorMade Representative Paul Loegering The USGA
enforced a new rule, put into effect in January of this year. The rule
puts restrictions on the shape of grooves in irons and wedges for
professional competitive golf. Visit the USGA's website for more details about this rule change. Paul Loegering, a TaylorMade representative for the PGA TOUR discusses
the changes in his company's clubs and gives his opinions on how the golf
marketplace will change in response to this new rule.
Q: How does the new equipment groove rule change effect your company's production of golf clubs?
A: In reference to general production, it's like starting
over. We have to spend research and development time as well as
marketing and production dollars to put a new product in line. March
2009 is when we started making changes. Anything that's done in
reference to changing a product line, the research and development team
is working a year to a year and a half before the new products are
released.

Proper Equipment - Wedges Tip:
"When
deciding on wedges, sand wedges, and lob wedges look for consistency, playability,
similarity in look, and the construction of the leading edge and the sole of
the club. It is difficult to have
different styled wedges and be consistent.
This holds true throughout the irons and woods as well."
