Tips for Women's Golf Drivers &
Improving Your Swing
Women's
golf drivers (or drivers in general) are written about more often than
any
other club, other than the putter.
Everyone wants to hit a long straight drive and
they will do most anything to accomplish that. It might mean taking
another lesson, trying out different drivers or even get fitted for the
perfect custom driver.
The driver is the king club in your bag.
It starts off each golf hole so you want the best results. Both men and
women talk more about the driver and what they love about that special
club when it works.
I decided to take a swing analysis and be
properly fit to a new driver plus the rest of the set. I did enjoy this
experience! The young man was very patient with this 84 year old
Grannie as she spent an hour and half hitting golf balls into a net.
This
was all done with an electronic machine that recorded my swing and
could tell the distance, arc and accuracy of my shots. After all that I
ordered a full set of the Callaway Big Bertha that he recommended.
Now
just remember whenever you get new clubs you have to get used to the
difference in weight, flex or design so you will have to work with them
on the driving range.
I did this with my driver
because it seemed strange at first, but the more I worked with it, the
more it is finally coming around. I received my new clubs in
March and now it is June and they are finally helping me score better.
The Callaway Big Bertha driver is helping me get a good start off the
tee.
If you check any magazine, golf retail store
or your pro shop you will see all kinds of women's golf drivers. I would suggest you
take a lesson and have your pro recommend the club that would fit you.
If you are short or tall you need a club that is comfortable. It also makes a
difference as to the kind of tees are used. The new big headed clubs may require you tee the
ball higher.
I did find out during my swing
analysis that I should tee the ball lower in order to
get more rolling distance.
Extra high tee shots may not roll as far, so the pro suggested teeing
the ball lower.
Teeing lower did take some getting
used to, but I do find that it is helps control the ball for a
straighter shot. I am not the kind of gal who wants to fade or hook the
ball. I prefer to go for the straight shot because I find I get in far
less trouble!
The women's golf driver is a very
important club
in your bag.
I have played with gals that find their
driver is not working, so they drop down to their three wood. That just tells
me they are not setting up correctly for their driver. They may be
standing too far back or too close. That is why it is important to have
your pro help you with your set up and grip.
When
you master the driver, you will find it is the best club in your bag.
This
all will make sense if you are an avid golfer and want to improve.
The
average player is not necessarily concerned about her game or may not
care to spend the extra money. I find that lady golfers want to improve
once they play on a regular basis.
Just remember
my old saying; "to keep a healthy mind and body try golf. It
will keep you swinging for the rest of your life."
