Have you heard of the new Double Wall Driver yet? PineMeadow Golf (the leader in clone golf clubs) has departed from totally clone golf clubs. They have developed a patented technology that is going to change drivers. This club looks and feels great. Independent
lab tests prove the DoubleWall
has the biggest sweet spot in golf. DoubleWall technology
abandons the "trampoline effect" technology used by other
golf club manufacturers. Instead, DoubleWall achieves performance
by building a "solid concrete floor" from which the super
ball bounces. This is a much more stable foundation and creates
greater ball velocity off the entire striking face of the golf club.
Rating: 5 out of 5 - It really does what it says! |
Tips for Tracking your game
Tracking your game is not only interesting but can also drastically reduce scores. By keeping track of your fairways hit, greens hit, number of putts, up and downs, and sand saves, you can start to see clear patterns that will show you where to focus your attention on the golf course.
Keeping track of these things does not have to distract you from your game. On each hole simply put a check mark above your score to the left for fairway hit, above right for green hit, below right for number of putts. Then put an "s" for whether or not you went into a greenside bunker. At the end of the round you can tally these stats.
For every one putt, see if you were on the green in regulation or you chipped and then one putted. This would indicate a successful up and down, or sand save if you were in the sand. A two or three putt where you missed the green indicates a failed up and down.
Your goal (no matter what your handicap) should be to hit between 8-10 fairways, 10-14 greens, 32 or fewer putts, and 40-50% up and down and sand saves. When you do not reach these goals on a regular basis, you can focus your practice on these areas. Anyone can achieve the above if playing the appropriate tees for their ability. Hitting two more fairways and greens, and shedding two putts per round, can lower your scores by up to ten shots!
Our LowerScores Manual will help you do this and more.
