help with a broken golf club(driver)?

the other day i got a driver, but the head boke off. its the part were the head and shaft meet. i know that i can just bring it to a golf pro and get it fixed, but does anyone no how to fix it myself?

Well I would take it back where you got it, if there is any sort of return policy. If not, then you need to reshaft the club or pay someone else to do it. So now you need to buy a shaft. Then you need to get the rest of the shaft out of the head. That generally takes a blowtorch and a graphite shaft puller attached to a table clamp. Then you need to drill any leftovers out of the hosel and clean it with a hosel bore brush. After all of that is complete, mix your 2 part epoxy, install your shaft (don’t forget your ferrule), and clamp it into place until the epoxy sets. Then you need to trim the butt end to length and install a new grip. There you go!

But if you want my advice, it will really be cheaper for you to take it to a golfsmith type store and get it re-shafted. If the driver cost less than $100, throw it away and get a different one. There are just too many things you have to purchase to do a proper re-shaft.

which of these 3 balls is best for me?

Titleist Pro-V1

NIKE one

Callaway HX Tour

-I’m not the best golfer in the world but i like to use nice balls…i average 80-85
I’m currently hitting the nike powerlong and the bridgestone e6
which one of these balls is your favorite and which one do you think would work best for me?

Your score is not what effects the kind of ball your play. It is your clubhead speed. A ProV1(x) would not be worth it to you if you have a clubhead speed below 95mph, or 105mph for a ProV1x. I wouldn’t suggest the Nike One (black or platinum) as there are better balls to get for the same price. The Callaway is a nice golf ball with a very soft face. It doesn’t require as much clubhead speed as the ProV1(x) does, but the softer face does have its downsides. The most obvious one is that it will get cut up the first time you use it. The grooves in your golf club tear up the face, and if you hit a tree or cart path the ball cover will be scuffed beyond use. Don’t let me mislead you though, the HX Tour is a great ball. I hope this description helps.

Why is it that Tiger Woods gets treated differently than David Letterman or Charlie Sheen?

All three men cheated on their wives. In fact, Charlie Sheen shot his wife in the arm.

Both David Letterman and Charlie Sheen took almost no losses and were warmly welcomed back to their jobs by both the public. Tiger Woods has lost multiple sponsors, received much vocal disdain from his peers, and has had to leave altogether temporarily.

Can’t help but notice he’s being punished more harshly…What’s the difference?

David Letterman was not married nor did he have a squeaky clean, good boy image. Charlie Sheen is a womanizing alcoholic but many people still love him and ignore his flaws because most of his women are as crazy as he is. BTW, Kelly Preston was not Charlie’s wife but that shouldn’t make a difference. He still shot her.

Tiger was the one with the squeaky clean image. I believe that he’s a compulsive liar and sex addict. It wasn’t just 2 or 3 one night stands. He had other relationships going on. Some of these women did not know that he was married. I didn’t know that he was married. I heard that he got a divorce 3 years ago. I guess he was telling people that.

is the Driver golf club always the longest in length?

my grandma just gave me my grandpa’s and im about to start so can anyone help me

Yes. 45" is the standard length that many manufacturers follow.

Recently, with lighter shaft and bigger club head, some companies (e.g. Nike, TaylorMade) have lengthened the stock driver length (e.g. Nike Sumo 45.75", TaylorMade Burner 46").

They claim their drivers add 10 more yards….which is true, but they don’t normally mention the fact that they’ve also increased the shaft by almost an inch. The longer the shaft, the further the ball will fly, but the harder to make solid contact.

Gotta love their marketing department!! :-)

Lob Wedge bounce help?

I just went out to Golf Town to go and purchase a lob wedge. I have never owned one before, so i wasn’t completely sure what bounce was. After a little research, i realized that bounce is the amount the leading edge on the wedge sits up from the ground. With this in mind, I went to Golf Town. I looked at all the wedges and I narrowed it down to the two i liked the most: the Titleist Vokey Spin Milled and the Cleveland CG14. After back and forth for about an hour, i decided to go with the Vokey Design. But when i got home, i started hitting half swing pitches in my basement, when i noticed the ball wasn’t getting as much loft as i anticipated from a lob wedge. I was impressed though how easily i got the ball to check up. Anyways i checked the bottom of the club and found that the bounce is 4. So now i am wondering, did I make the right call? I plan on using my lob wedge from 40- yards from the green. I want the ball to check easy from this range. I have a Top Flite 56 Sand Wedge also.
Also, what does bounce actually do?
What is the difference in ball flight/speed/spin between a lob wedge with 4 bounce and one with 8?

Bounce is to prevent the leading edge from digging into the turf even when the club is hit with a descending blow. The difference you will notice between high and low bounce is more of a forgiveness issue. A higher bounce will help prevent laying sod over the back of the ball if you hit it fat. A lower bounce helps you get under the ball on tighter lies. For 40 yards and in, you probably made a good choice with the low bounce Vokey. I didn’t have the same trajectory issue with my Vokey, so I can’t help you there, but why fix it if it works?

I like to have a high, and low bounce option. I’ll use the high option from sand, really thick rough, and hard-pan lies (more forgiving), and I use the low bounce the rest of the time.

how can i find teaching pro for "stack and tilt" golf swing in southern CA?

I bought dvd set for "stack and tilt" golf swing. And i really want to learn that swing with teaching pro.

To bad you live in in Southern CAL, I would be glad to help you, but 1700 miles is a long journey for a golf lesson. My recommendation is to find a good PGA teaching professional who would be will to look over the DVD set and study the "Stack and Tilt" swing. While the stack and tilt does introduce some new ideas, the Basic fundamentals of the golf swing is very similar. A teaching professional who understands the swing will be able to look over the DVD set and assist you in developing your " Stack and Tilt" swing. The trick might be finding a teaching professional who is willing to do this, but trust me there will be ones that will do this.

As a teaching professional myself I love studying different types of swings, and have taught people based on request both the "Stack and Tilt" and The " One Plane Swing" While both of these have some differences I don’t have a problem teaching different swings and actually enjoy it.

I would say that the "Stack and Tilt" swing is really modeled around a younger more flexible type of golfer, and is not an "easier" type of golf swing its simply one the some people have had better success with, especially low- handicapers how have a tendency of hanging back on their right side to long. However, the "Stack and Tilt" as some very good results for the right players.

I hope this answers your question. If not I will look for another posting from you. Good Luck in your search!!

do the golf balls you use really make a differnce?

it seems like when i go golfing if i hit a nike or titleiest ball it is always a sucky shot…so then i tried a top-flite ball and i hit the ball almost perfect….so is it just in my mind that im using a better ball so i try harder or are more expensive balls desighned for pros?

The skill level of a player should dictate the type of ball they use. This includes the players desire and ability to spin the ball, and the players swing speed.

You also need to look at the compression of the balls you are buying. If you are a senior player, Wilson has a ball called the 50/50 that is an outstanding ball with a very low compression rate. Meaning you don’t have to swing as fast to compress the ball. If you have a medium swing speed you may want to look at balls that state low compression of the box i.e. noodle and loco. For the players that can swing faster you can play with a variety of other balls.

The construction of the ball also plays a huge factor in the performance of the ball. Most cheap balls are a 2 piece balls. This means that the ball has a cover and a core. These balls are primarily distance balls and don’t give you much spin. They usually run you up to $20 a box. There are also 3 piece hybrid balls. These balls have a core, mantle, and cover. The mantles primary purpose is to create spin for the shot. These balls are usually around $25 a box. Then you have a 3-piece normal ball. The difference here is the cover of this ball is made of a higher quality material to grip the grooves on the club better creating more spin. They can run you around $50 a box. The only four piece ball currently on the market is the Nike one platinum. This ball has and additional mantle, again adding to the spin rate you achieve on the ball. I personally feel this is the best ball on the market and apparently so does Tiger Woods. These ball cost $40 a box.

So, yes the ball makes a huge difference in your game. Hope this helps.

Will A decent golf club driver improve my game?

I use a donnay evolution driver at the moment, it cost £100 for 12 clubs so that works out at about £8. I prefer the donnay 3 wood as the 1 wood hits only about the same distance and normally with much more slice

I am now looking at getting a decent driver with a 460cc head, I have found the Ben Sayers Benny for £70. I don’t really care what make I get I just want to make sure I am going to be able to hit it about 40 yards further and more accurately than my 8 quid donnay.

I dont have long so got to be quick.

The donnay may be the best club for you…..also it could be the worst….

Each club is made differently (shaft, loft, kick points, grip etc)

Go to American Golf (we have one in the UK)

Tell them to same thing and you can try out different drivers on the machine they have. From this they will be able to tell you/ help you with what driver will suit you the best by narrowing down points. eg. swing speed to pick a shaft. Loft of hit for the loft of the club.

etc etc etc

good luck

ps I did this and I love the driver I have. I have only a cheapish Jack Nicklous driver and I was aiming for a top dog dollar expensive thing
