Golf seems to be to entering a transition phase, and not just because Tiger Woods no longer reigns supreme — his pal, Roger, over on the grass and clay courts, is no longer number one either, but that’s another matter altogether. What players out on the greens have been noticing is that golf equipment http://www.canadapost.ca/shopper/golf-equipment/pc/50 itself is changing. It was only a few years ago that the well-known dimples of golf balls were reintroduced as hexagons. Today, beyond hexagons and circles, golfers — pro and those of the weekend variety — must also think about the possibilities for game improvement that changing the size of their club heads will afford.
Some club manufacturers have reduced the area of the club head but kept the weight and density parameters intact. It’s believed that this configuration sets up shots to be “cleaner” while not taking away any power or spin. Of course, going in the other direction, extra large club heads have been known to induce the phenomenon commonly known as the “overswing.” Well, to decide which size actually works for your game, you have to give each type of equipment a try. Otherwise, in case you happen to be an exceptional statistical ace, you could try mining the more recent shot data of ShotLink and come up with some analysis of which club size is likely to serve you best.
