rain or shine golf

Introduction

More pros on the PGA golf tour use Taylormade golf equipment than any other golf club manufacturer. Some top tour players who use Taylormade golf equipment are Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson among many other tour players. There must be something about the new Taylormade golf equipment for so many PGA tour players to be using them.

The Taylormade Company

The Taylormade golf company was founded in 1979 by a man named Gary Adams. At the time Mr. Adams was working as a salesman for the Witteck Golf Company. In time, he got a promotion with the company in the research and development department. Around the same time the new two piece golf balls had been developed.

In Adam’s research he noticed that the new two piece golf balls performed much better with the irons than they did with the original persimmon woods. With this new information in hand he left the Witteck golf company. He went on to start the Taylormade golf company.

Adam’s took the information he had and developed the Taylormade metal wood driver. The driver caught on immediately and Taylormade hollow metal woods ever since. To this day they continue to make improvements in their golf club design.

The Taylormade Drivertaylor made driver

Taylormade drivers are made of materials that make them easier to hit and to control your swing thus maximizing your driving performance. This is one reason that the Taylormade driver is one of the leading drivers used on the PGA golf tour. Their metal wood design have taken them to develop the famous Taylormade burner and the Taylormade bubble.

Probably the most popular Taylormade driver is the 2017 M2 driver which i recently did a review on. It offers a totally new level of distance and forgiveness in its new driver technology.

The M2 driver houses a new speed pocket that makes it twice as flexible as the previous model. The Taylormade driver is extremely strong and durable but yet light and easy to swing due in part to their titanium heads.

Taylormade Irons

Their low center of gravity helps even the lesser advanced golfer hit purer iron shots even on slightly missed hits.

The Taylormade M1 irons are very similar to the M2 iron put have a smaller head size and shorter blade length but they are more suitable for the more advanced golfer who strikes the ball on a more consistent basis.

Taylormade Hybrid Clubs

Taylormade has an extensive line of hybrid golf clubs. The difference in the different line of hybrid clubs depends mostly on a golfers swing speed and their swing tendencies. For those of you that are not aware of this, the hybrid club was designed to replace your hard to hit long irons. For instance the #3 hybrid would replace your harder to hit 3 iron. Some of Taylormade’s hybrid clubs:

The Taylormade burnertaylormade hybrid club

This hybrid club was designed for golfers with a swing speed between 70 to 105 miles per hour. It has a large head and a better center of gravity which translates to better ball striking and a higher launch angle. It is basically a very easy club to hit.

The Rescue TP

This hybrid model is more suitable for the more advanced golfer who has a swing speed of 90 to 115 miles per hour which is pushing the swing speed of the professional player. It has a smaller head and is less forgiving than the burner. The more skilled player does not need as much forgiveness. It has a lower launch angle and produces less backspin.

The rescue dual hybrid

Taylormade’s dual hybrid offers movable weight technology. In other words if you tend to slice the ball a lot you can change weights on the head of the club creating more of a draw bias and eliminating your slice. The club head is small but still offers a fair amount of forgiveness.

Taylormade Putters

Although Taylormade is more famous for their drivers, irons, fairway taylormade puttermetals and hybrid golf clubs they actually have a very attractive line of putters to choose from. All of their putters are designed with the Rossa insert system which is a technology called ASGI which stands for anti skid groove insert.

These systems cause less skid when striking the ball which leads to purer and straighter on line putts. They have 10 different lines of putters which you can check  out here.

Taylormade – Adidas

Most recently the Taylor Made company has purchased the Adidas corporation. So now besides being world renowned for their awesome golf clubs they now offer a full line of other golf equipment and accessories.

  • Manufacture their own line of golf balls
  • Produce the Maxfli golf ball
  • Carry their own golf bag line
  • Their own golf shoes
  • Many other golf accessories

The present company is known as Taylor Made – Adidas Golf Company, so come on in and check out the new Taylormade golf equipment.

 

In Conclusion

I hope i have helped you in your research if you are looking to purchase new golf clubs. Taylormade has many a full line of clubs and equipment for the man, for women and also a full line of junior golf clubs and equipment.

They also offer a selection of pre-owned golf clubs that you may find more affordable. Keep in mind if you decide to purchase Taylormade golf clubs they will not be cheap but they will give you many, many years of good golfing.

Enjoy the Game of Golf Today – and Forever

Introduction

As far as most sports go, golf is probably right up there at the top of the list as far as the cost to get started as compared to many other sports, but that certainly does not have to be the case.

There is no reason you cannot enjoy the game of golf today without going broke to get started or even upgrade your current equipment.

As a matter of fact if you are an average golfer or are just getting started playing the game of golf, going out and buying expensive golf clubs could actually be detrimental to your average game.

Your Golf Clubs

When you are just getting started playing golf or have been playing for a little while your first and probably most natural instinct would be to run out and get the most expensive golf clubs you can get thinking that it would increase the level dramatically and quickly, but it could actually a reverse effect on your golf game.
men's senior golf clubs

You see, good expensive golf clubs are not as forgiving as a less expensive set of golf clubs. These expensive clubs are geared more to the more skilled golfer who can hit the golf ball on the sweet spot more frequently than the beginner or average golfer can.

Buying less expensive golf cubs will help you to develop a more consistent golf swing due the fact that they have a larger sweet spot so you will be able to enjoy the game of golf much quicker.

Another route you could take is to look for a good set of used golf cubs. A lot of skilled players are always updating and improving their equipment so you should be able to find someone in this position quite easily. If you do decide to go this route a couple of things to look out for that you might not be aware of is,

 

  1. Make sure the grips are not worn out, this would add expense out of your pocket
  2. Make sure the grooves in the irons and wedges are not worn down to much
  3. Make sure every club is not bent or damaged in any way.
  4. And a lot of skilled golfers will never give up their favorite putter, so if not include this could add additional expense

Hope this has answered any questions you might have had about purchasing golf clubs

Golf and the Internet

I would suggest especially if you are a complete newbie to the game of golf perhaps you take a short lesson or at least go to the driving range with a buddy who has played the game and has some knowledge of the game in order for you to at least get a solid foundation, a decent swing technique and hitting the ball somewhat consistently.

After that you can go on the internet and find out just about anything you want about enjoying the game of golf. You can learn all the golf terminology used in the golf world and on the golf course so you don’t feel like a fool when you are out on the golf course yourself.

You can find all kinds of videos and e books so you can pick up pointers so you can try to improve your own golf game even more.

The internet is also a place where you can find different golf courses in your area, the rates they charge to play their golf course, directions to all the different courses and just a ton of other golf course information.

If you are just starting out you can find out where certain nine hole golf course are which are much easier to start out on than the larger eighteen hole golf courses.

You can check out different golf instructors, what their rates are for lessons and what golf courses they teach at. You can also find a lot of free instruction on the internet, you tube etc.

 

Popular Golf Terms

Back Nine

Typically most golf courses consist of eighteen holes, so in this situation if were to start your round of golf on the first hole then holes ten through eighteen would be considered to be the back nine.

Sometimes when golf courses get crowded you may start your round on the tenth hole, in this case holes one through nine would be considered the back nine.

Par

Golf courses normally consist of three different size holes, par threes are shorter holes normally between one hundred and two hundred yards to the hole, if you get your golf ball in the hole with three shots, you have made par, par fours are typically between 300 and 400 yards long, if you get your golf ball in the hole with four shots you have made par.

Then you have par five holes which are typically between 450 and 550 yards long, if you get your golf ball in the hole with five shots you have made par.

Birdie

A birdie occurs when you get your golf ball in the hole with one fewer shot than what the hole requires, in other words on a par three holes,you get your golf ball in the hole with two shots you have made a birdie or one under par. The same concept hold true for par four holes and par five holes

Bogey

A bogey occurs when you get your golf ball in the hole with one more shot than what the whole requires, in other words on a par three hole it takes you four shots to get in the hole you have made a bogey, the same concept holds true with the par four and the par five holes..

Bunker

A bunker is a depression in the ground on the golf course which is more often than not it is filled with sand. Bunkers are normally found around the green area but can also be found in the fairway. The bunker can also be known as a sand trap.

The Green

The green is found at the end of every holes it is where the hole is located and where the flag stick is put.

These are just some general terms used in any given round of golf, there are many, many more that I will cover at another time.

 

The Golf Bag

There are many things to consider before purchasing a golf bag. Whether you are a novice golfer or a skilled golfer there are many things to take into consideration before you purchase a new golf bag.

There are basically two different types of golf bags, the carry golf bag and the cart golf bag. If you are a novice golfer and plan on walking the golf course as you play your round of golf you probably want to look into a good carry bag with sturdy straps.

Most carry bags have retractable legs so when you put the bag down the legs Your golf bagautomatically come out so your bag does not have to lie on the ground.

The cart bag is a much larger bag and is used to be put and kept on the back of a golf cart or used with a caddie.

There are many other things you need to consider when purchasing a golf bag whether it is a carry bag or a cart bag. The main thing is you will need to have plenty of storage and different compartments. Most bags all have a place for a large golf umbrella.

You will also need a large compartment for golf balls and smaller compartments for tee’s, wallet,sunglasses,golf gloves and other things like keys’ cell phone etc. So be careful in the golf bag you choose and be sure it is comfortable for you.

Always Keep in Mind

If you are really serious about enjoying this game of golf never settle for mediocrity, Whether you are at the driving range or on the golf course playing a round of golf always play to the best of your ability and with great sportsmanship. You will enjoy this wonderful game of golf much more.
