Callaway fairway woods are trusted and respected. Many professional golf players choose Callaway woods over other brands due to the outstanding performance that these woods deliver.
The first player we would like to talk about is Phil Mickelson. If you follow golf, you will most likely be familiar with him. Phil is a long standing excellent PGA professional, and he has a Callaway FT Tour 3-wood, which he routinely plays from the fairway onto the green. Callaway FT means Fusion Technology – this particular fairway wood is made of stainless steel and tungsten. The company claims that this combination produces higher MOI and distributes the gravity efficiently. Callaway FT also contains a so called opti-fit system of weights, and players generally customize their FT Tour woods to suit the intricacies of their swing.

Golf Clothing

I was perusing one of those ‘Golfing for Women’ magazines the other day and started wondering where the women are, who wear the golf attire modeled in women’s golf magazines? I’ve never seen women, professionals included, who would dress in such expensive and outrageous clothing!
It’s easy to spend lots of money fitting yourself out for golf. What with hats, sunglasses, gloves, shirts, shorts, socks, windbreakers and shoes, the costs add up very quickly, even if you do your shopping at the sales. Then add in the cost of clubs, balls, bag, cart and fees and you have to play very often to keep the “CPU” (cost per use) down to an acceptable level.
One glossy advert showed a beautiful model in very short shorts (like that’s allowed on courses!) that cost nearly $300, a golf shirt at almost $600, a jacket by Ralph Lauren at almost $200 and two-toned Utuser shoes costing $400 plus.

Nike golf shoes are one of the tools you can use to improve your game. If you have only played golf in casual footwear before, or if you’re looking for a way to improve your general game, investing in a good pair of golf shoes can make a large difference. Like in other sports, the shoes you wear can directly impact on your performance.
As you have to develop a smooth swing and be able to follow through on that swing in golf, all without losing any control of the strength in your swing, your golf shoes can help or hinder your game for you. Nike golf shoes are designed to help you balance, gripping the turf as much as needed yet allowing you to get full power and control behind each and every stroke.

Golf Tips For Beginners
My golf coach, as one of the first things he taught me, gave me the right way to position the ball for a good swing. This might not seem important to non-golfers, but if you play you’ll already know there can be big differences depending where the ball is on the ground.
Standing side-on to the direction you’ll be aiming, there are two main elements to consider. The first is how far away the ball is from you if you drew a line directly away from your eyes (ie perpendicular to the direction of the shot). The second is the distance of the ball on the ground from each foot.
Starting with how far from you the ball should be, you basically want to put it on the ground at the distance of the club head during your swing. So that the natural point of impact of the club with the ground is where the ball should be.
