Purepoint Golf Instruction – Driver Ball Position – Driver Golf Swing & A Better Golf Swing In Tough
By David Nevogt 
I often see a number of amateurs prepare for their driver golf swing by walking up, after they have teed the ball up, they just take a step back and they address it. They grip the golf club and they address it, and they sort of just plot their feet down wherever they land, but let me tell you the proper way.

This way you'll be able to get the ball in the correct position more often than not. After you have the golf ball and you've gripped it and you have addressed it, then you'll just look down, take a peek down, and if this golf ball is running towards the left heel, then this is correct.

If you look down and you see the golf ball is a little too far forward off your left, that's too far forward and you'll probably see that the shoulders are aimed too far to the left.

On the other hand, if you look back down and you think the ball is too far back in your stance when you put this shaft along you, you'll be aiming way off to the right.

So, after you've addressed the golf ball, all you have to do to get ready for your driver golf swing is bring the shaft up and lay it along your shoulder line, and it should be going in the direction you want to go with it.

If you get it too far back in your stance at address, you'll wind up aiming your shoulders too far off to the right.

And if you get it off the left heel, this should be proper for most people.

Now, have you ever gone to play a round of golf and the first hole the wind is straight into you, the next two holes it's blowing out of the right, the next two holes it's from the left, then four holes in a row straight back into the wind, and then it gets worse?

The next three holes it's blowing harder from the left. Then you get the shortest hole in the golf course downwind. And then, of course, you know the rest of the story, the next three holes, the longest holes in the golf course, dead into the teeth of it.

Well, those are tough driving days and you have to be prepared to react to it, because the wind isn't going to stop just for you.

And when you're playing well, I know you're going to laugh, but it seems like every hole's downwind. And when you're playing difficult, it seems like every one of them is into a gale.

Remember this about tough driving days, this driver is not always the answer. How many times have you driven the golf ball 50 yards left of the fairway and only wished that you would have hit 6 iron off of the tee to get a better golf swing?

I'm not advocating that into the wind. However, the flatter the face on the golf club, the more the golf ball's going to curve and the better your golf swing will be. And the windier it is, it exaggerates the curve if it's going in the direction of the wind. So, this isn't always the answer.

I have a 1 iron that I love, and I have driven with it many times on windy days, even into the wind, because it was important to find the golf ball in the fairway and not out of bounds.

So, don't forget this is not the answer on rugged days. This is the answer when you're driving the ball well.

When you're not, it might be a 3 wood. Don't give into the driver.

Thanks and have a great day.

Golf Shafts Of Golf

Golf Shafts Of Golf 
By Acario Daire 
Introduction:
Golf shafts are used between the grip and the “club head” golf shaft is circular in shape and some of the strongest and lightest materials are used to make the golf shaft. Graphite and tempered steels are used for the best strength. In 2006 the newest profiles that are 48GA approved and have ultimate strength are triangle golf shafts or some call the shaft trigraphite shafts. 

Understanding shaft flex to improve your game:

To improve your golf game you need to understand the effect shaft flex has on your game. “Flex” means the ability of a golf shaft to bend as forces are applied to it during the golf swing. The forces which are generated by the swing you have i.e. fast, slow, smooth or jerky. There are five generally used ratings for shafts flex.
• Extra stiff
• Stiff
• Regular
• Senior
• Ladies and Gentlemen:

When you have a flex that does not match your swing then in the clubface being misaligned at impact, it causes your shots to go
off-target.

What role does flex play?

Shaft flexes impacts, either directly or indirectly, the accuracy, trajectory and distance of you shot. As the shaft flexes, so the position of the club head changes. The face of the club must be square at impact to get the most out of the shot. You will not be able to touch the ball if you have the wrong flex for your swing.

Guidelines:

• The degree of flex in your club shafts is something you decide to have stiffer shafts, or softer shafts, depending on your needs.
• When you are ready to hit the ball then take a look at the distance the ball has to travel. 
• General: If you carry you driver 250 yards or more, go with stiff; 
• Regular: 230-250 yards.
• Senior: 200-230 yard.
• Ladies: 200 yards or less
• Only the big hitters are going to need extra for most of us, extra stiff isn’t seen on the picture.

Is your flex too stiff?

• The ball may tend to go to the right, or fade side, for right-handed golfers because with a too-stiff shaft the clubface is harder to square.
• The ball will fly lower and shorter for any given loft, compared to a properly fit shaft.
• The shot may feel less solid, more like a mis-hit even it you make contact on the center of the club face.

Isn’t your flex too stiff?
• The Golf ball tends to go to the left, or to the draw side, for a right-handed golfer.
• The Golf ball might fly higher for any given loft, compared to a property fit shaft.
• Shots may tend to feel more solid, even when they aren’t

The problem in hitting a shaft that is too flexible is much less than the harm in hitting a shaft that is too stiff. When you are unsure about flex, always err on the side of more flex. Mostly go with the regular.

Choose the best shaft-flex

You can visit a golf professional for a club fitting to choose the proper flex. The golf professional will take a lot of measurements, watch your swing, measure your swing speed, watch your ball flight and be able to recommend which flex is right for you. Club fitting are available at man pro shops and almost all golf schools and from teaching professionals. 
When you find a flex with which you are comfortable. Then it is always suggestible to buy it. There is a good chance that it might be the right one.
