Tip of the week

Is your driver set up losing you distance and accuracy?

To have the best chance of hitting long straight drives, there are a few key things we have to do. Hit the middle of the club, launch the ball and control backspin.

Check out Adam’s video on how to improve your driving.

Create your look

We may be heading into summer soon but it’s still important to have the right clothing on you in case the weather changes. A lightweight mid-layer is the perfect piece to keep in your bag for exactly this reason, and combining it with other layers can create a great look.

UA Playoff polo

UA Windstrike vest

These Under Armour options come in a range of colours. It means that you can drop by and pick up just one item to complement your existing wardrobe, or build a whole new outfit from scratch. If you go for the latter option, we’ll be happy to help you combine three golf specific layers so you’ll never have a problem with temperature regulation or feeling restricted, which are two common grievances we hear from members who are replacing high street clothing.

The easy way...

One way to hit the ball further is to swing faster, but more often than not this will harm your accuracy and your quality of strike. An alternative option is to get custom fitted for one of the brilliant drivers we have in-store, where you can swing exactly the same each time and let the correct set-up do all the hard work to gain you yards.

The easy way to gain distance
If you’ve been put off investing in a new driver because you’re worried that your swing needs some work, you’re needlessly missing out on lots of immediate benefits. In reality you needn’t worry about this problem, as modern drivers are very adjustable and allow us to re-optimise them to suit your new swing as regularly as necessary.

Both of these Mizuno drivers offer us the tools to do this thanks to adjustable hosels that let us alter your trajectory higher or lower. The GT180 also has moveable sole weights so we can fine-tune your shot shape. You’ll also find both models have a Wave sole that contracts and springs to increase ball speeds and help you enjoy effortless long distance.
