Golf instructors often talk about the transition in the golf swing as that pause between completing the backswing and starting the downswing. They often suggest that slowing down the transition is one of the most important keys to hitting a good shot. Well, I'm not qualified to comment on the technicalities of the golf swing. However, I am qualified to comment on what for me is an even more important transition in golf psychology. It's the...more
How much is the accuracy of your golf shot influenced by club alignment at address and how much is down to your instinctive or unconscious golf ability?

All I'm interested in here is the alignment of your club face at address.I've been writing a lot recently about the...more
Slazenger has been long known as a ball manufacturer and the balls are excellent; however, what of their range of clubs? There has been some discussion and concern that they do not look like a high quality club. However, is this just fear of the unknown or is there any truth in the matter? Slazenger golf clubs come in the whole range as expected. Let's start with their Big Ezee Iron, which are big irons that have added weight on them. They are long and strong but can they deliver the goods? Reviews are mixed which doesn't come as any surprise, and some of us liked using the iron. Some felt that it wasn't particularly good and would rather stick to their iron of choice. It does carry quite a punch so it may take shots off your game as the length and weight combination do see the ball flying nicely across the green, if you do not find the iron too heavy and can get a good swing with it. They offer a range of putters and again these vary in price. $140 is an average price and the putters seem to have been better received. We enjoyed testing these and there was much more agreement that this was an excellent example of a good putter. It seemed to help get more accuracy, which is always...more

There are a huge myriad of golf stand bags on the market, so knowing where to start looking could be difficult. What are the most popular stand bags on offer at the moment? For many people a stand bag is vital. They want to walk the course rather than use a golf cart, so having a light weight, practical and durable stand is pretty vital to really enjoy the game in full. There are many leading manufacturers out there and they have a wide range of golf stand bags on offer. Golf stand bags tend to fall into three categories; those that are very light in weight, the ultra light' class, and the cross over bags' which are designed to be an all round bag, allowing you to stand it when needed but use it in the cart when you have decided to use a cart. Sun Mountain makes a very light stand bag. It weighs in at just over 3.5lb and has a good designed handle making it possible to carry the bag over both shoulders, evenly distributing the weight so that you are not risking back problems.
