Let's try somewhere different!

Trying to keep yourselves occupied during Lockdown 3 is increasingly difficult during the cold, wet winter and attempting to find somewhere different to walk as well.

Tracy and I explored North Baddesley a little further last week and came across 'Emer Bog' and Baddesley Common, a 'Bog' it most definitely was! I'm sure in the spring or summer this is a beautiful walk.

We have got the Six Nations rugby to look forward this coming month and the golf from UAE is perfect for early morning viewing.

The benefits are huge

We know there are golfers out there who question the incredible difference between off-the-shelf clubs and custom-fitted ones. For us, a fitting experience is key if you want to play your best and get the most from your equipment, so here are a few of the standout benefits.

Fun & Educational

A fitting session with us is a fun experience. It doesn’t matter if you leave your ‘A-game’ at home; you can still enjoy hitting some balls and learning a few things about your game along the way.

Maximum Value

Whilst we are very competitive with our pricing, we know golf equipment is a serious investment. So, let us help you get the most bang for your buck by finding your perfect set-up during a fitting.

Combat your Weaknesses

With our expertise and guidance, we’ll find you the clubs that not only optimise your strengths but also protect you from your weaknesses. Say goodbye to the dreaded slice!

Hopefully, this has given you some food for thought. If you want to find out more or book yourself in for a fitting when it's allowed, get in touch with us below.

Hybrid vs Crossover

Having the right equipment is incredibly important when it comes to playing great golf, but there’s no ‘best clubs for everybody’; this is unique to your game. Many golfers struggle to know whether to put a hybrid or Crossover in the bag. So, let’s look at what each offers.

PING's new G425 Hybrid and Crossover

On the one hand, Crossovers are a great option off-the-tee, making it easy to get that penetrating flight with plenty of distance. A hybrid, on the other hand, helps you launch the ball from the turf with plenty of height and distance – great when you need a soft landing into the green. Either way, PING has brilliant options for you.

Thanks to revolutionary Spinsistency technology, the G425 hybrids offer a tremendous amount of forgiveness and performance. Meanwhile, the Crossover irons make it easy to generate distance with precision thanks to strategic perimeter tungsten weighting. Which is right for you? Well, send us a message and we'll be happy to help.

Video of the Week

We love golf through thick and thin. Every person who has played the sport will have experienced the euphoria that comes with hitting a brilliant shot. Likewise, we've all felt a little bit of anger on the course too. Sit back and enjoy this week's video from the European Tour, which features some of the tour's 'angriest' golfers in Hatton, Poulter and Stenson.

I hope you have enjoyed this week's update.
We hope to see you soon
Gary, Tracy, James and Adam.
