Playing well under pressure in 9 Tips

Nov 2nd, 2009 by admin

  Get Every Putt to the Hole   Because the player decelerates on the through-stroke, it makes most putts come up short . Minimize Your Swing Thoughts   Preshot: Visualize what you want the ball to do.   Address: Align the clubface where you want the ball to go.   Swing thought: Freely swing the clubhead.   Survive The First-tee Jitters   Which affects consistency and accuracy, Nervousness makes you speed up your tempo . Swing your driver smoothly, like you want to hit it only 100 yards.   Make More Tough Short Putts   Square your feet and shoulders to that line and then set your putterface square to the desired line. Make a smooth stroke while looking at the target, not at the ball.   Take More Club on Par 3s   Most come up short  that is few amateurs hit the ball over or through the green on par 3s . You’re on, If you hit it flush ; if you hit it less than solidly, you still might make it to the putting surface.   Score Lower on Par 5s   Your favorite yardage into the green and make the last shot. Subtract that yardage, then divide the difference by two. You’re hitting lofted clubs that are easier to hit and more accurate and use this strategy .   Letting the sand “splash” the ball out, good greenside bunker players accelerate the clubhead through the shot . Set up with the face of your sand wedge slightly open, the ball slightly forward in your stance. Hit the sand behind the ball, and finish your swing like you’re hitting a full 5-iron.   Chip with Your Putting Stroke   Take a lofted club like a 7-, 8- or 9-iron and grip it like your putter  to avoid chunking or skulling your chip shots. For a slightly descending blow, lean the shaft and your body toward the target . Make your putting stroke, allowing the loft of the club to carry the ball over the unpredictable turf onto the green.   Get Your Irons Airborne   Most topped shots occur when you try to help the ball into the air with a scooping motion.

Why Ping Golf Clubs



For a golfer, one of the most important things that he should examine is his golf club because according to experts, it is one of the main reasons why they do not hit the ball properly. This is the exact reason why the Ping golf club was created.

Karsten Solheim was the one who invented the ping golf club with different intentions. The story has it that Karsten was practicing golf but he could not hit the ball so he started to practice up to the time that he began to design and experiment his very own putter so that he could play better through it. He thought of designing his own putter without a figment of a though that it would be known worldwide.

By 1959, his putter experiments had evolved into top design. While deciding for the name, he heard the sound of his putter and declared proudly to his wife that he would name the putter from its sound, hence the name “ping”. At that same year, Sports Illustrated published an article in their August issue regarding the ping golf club dubbing it as a musical putter.

This was the beginning of success for the ping golf club. At present, the Ping golf club is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona by Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. There are more than 400 patents registered for the ping golf club and each of these designs are all innovative and very original designs that are suited for each and every golfer. Here are some of their key patents and products:

In the year 1962, the Heel-toe weighting type of ping golf club was granted a patent. This design was the one that revolutionalized other modern designs and golf clubs that are manufactured in the market today. In the year 1969, another type of ping golf club was introduced which was the perimeter-weighted, investment-cast iron.

The reason for this type of ping golf club is that the perimeter weighting is able to increase the moment of inertia thus when a ball is not struck squarely on the face it makes the club more forgiving. Another innovative movement for the ping golf club was the application of investment casting in the manufacture of the K Series Irons. This is not really a new technology in fact; the old name for it is the lost-wax process.

The purpose of this method is to ensure precise detail and consistency to all of the parts of the ping golf club. Another type of patent for the Ping golf club is the Cushin Selective Filtering Insert. This is a patented invention which screens out and disperses the unwanted frequencies that can harmfully affect muscle, bone, and connective tissue. Through this invention, the golfer receives less vibration with greater feel on each shot.

The reason why the ping golf club is popular and widely used is because of its innovative, ever-changing yet reliable design. These designs are what people, particularly golfers, recognize about ping golf club. lost one of your ping golf clubs?

Do not worry because serial numbers are here to protect you! In every ping golf club, there are serial numbers which are etched on every PING iron. If ever there is a need to replace one club, the company has the exact specs at the time of manufacturing on file and could actually build a new club to match your set.
