Pro's Tip of The Week - Relax

Excellent response to the ball fittings we talked about last week. This is available at any time so please feel free to talk to us about how this could help you.

Remember we are here to help so please discuss anything to do with golf with us. I am sure we can help resolve any issues you may have. I am sure you all watched The Open last week. What an excellent event once again.

Pre-tournament favourite Rory had a nightmare first day and nearly a dream day on the second. What this shows us is that when even the best try too hard it does not work so, a good lesson for you all is to relax and enjoy your golf, do not try too hard to get a score or result as it creates tension which equals disaster!

Get more iron in your diet

If you're looking for a new set of irons there is so much choice out there that it can become a little bit of a mine field. So, why not grab a coffee, take five and watch our latest video on why Mizuno's JPX919 irons could well be the perfect addition to your bag?

“The new stability frame (across all three models) will enhance stability, feel and launch”

Mizuno is known for its remarkable craftsmanship and for producing irons with outstanding feel, and the JPX919 family certainly deliver on this front as well as many others...

“The Hot Metal is definitely the most forgiving and inspires a lot of confidence down by the ball”

So, now you've seen them, why not give them a go? Our expertise will help you through the fitting process to make sure the investment you're making in your game actually results in better scores. After all, what’s the point of getting the best set of irons if they aren’t perfectly suited to your swing?

A ball for every occasion

Let’s be honest: we're greedy when it comes to our golf ball, and rightly so. We don’t want to have to choose between distance or feel; instead, we want a ball that offers us the lot.

Picture the scenario

You’re out playing a round with your friends and you've just used your ball to hit a delicate flop shot over a bunker to a few feet and knocked it in for par - top job! Following a short walk to the next tee, you’re then stood on a par-5 needing to smash your Sunday best as far down the fairway as possible.

This scenario requires a ball that is versatile enough to offer you spin and feel around the greens, whilst providing explosive distance and a high launch from the tee.

Consider TP5/x from TaylorMade

Fortunately, the clever folks at TaylorMade know a thing or two about golf balls, which is why their TP5 and TP5x balls are used by some of the world's best golfers, such as McIlroy, Fowler and DJ.

Here's what you can expect from both:

TP5 - lower launch, more workable and a softer feel
TP5x - piercing ball flight and best wind performance

These are balls that you need to try, so come and speak to a member of the team for more information.

Spotlight | PING Glide 3.0 wedges

Smooth when it's rough

There's no part of your game more important than your wedge play.

If you really want to lower your scores and reach your full potential, improving your short game is key and these beauties from PING will certainly help you on your way - as long as you're fitted for the correct grind and bounce.

The Glide 3.0 produce greater spin, a softer feel and are more forgiving than previous generations. Enough said.

Video of the Week
