Matching golf drivers to your game...

"Properly fitted golf drivers will only improve your game."

The driver is the most electrifying club in the bag, not only because it hits the ball the further than the other clubs , but also because watching the golf ball in flight has a more gratifying feeling ( thrill) than most other things in sport.

Driving the ball well sets up the golfers scoring shots into the green. It is imperative that you find a club that you like, and fits your ability and swing type.

It can make the difference of hitting your approach shot from the deep rough our the middle of the fairway.

There are so many different kinds of club combinations available to the golfer today that it can really confusing for them.

With the proceeding information I will show you how to pick the proper type of driver that fits you and only you!!!!

Choosing the right grip

One of the most important and most underrated pieces of golf equipment is the grip. This is the only thing that golfers come in contact with during their swings. There are a few things to remember when you're thinking about grips. Their size and weight, and its feel and tactile qualities.

The size of your grip will depend on the size of your hands, the bigger your hands are the thicker the size of the grip you'll need. The weight depends on your swing speed. A lighter grip will increase the weight of the club head which is good for players with higher, stronger speeds. A heavier grip will make the clubhead feel lighter, thus favoring the slower swingers.

The feel of the grip is also important because it must not irritate your hands, and control the vibrations from contact with the ball and ground. Some grips have perforated surfaces made into different designs, others are wrap-style with ridges that circle down the club. These are both great types for all weather play because they have great stickiness even in the rain and cold.

Choosing the right shaft

Steel vs Graphite
Steel shafts are usually used by better players for a few reasons. Steel shafts tend to be heavier than graphite ones and this can affect the speed the player swings the golf club. The better players are usually able to produce enough swing speed to not have to worry about the weight of the club. The steel shafts will also produce more feedback to the golfers hands when the ball is struck at impact allowing them to "feel" how the shot was hit and to help them make any corrections should there be a need.

Graphite shafts are usually lighter than steel shafts and allow slower swinging players to increase their swing speed.This is a big advantage to kids, beginners, ladies, and senior players, helping them to hit the ball further with their golf drivers. Graphite also is more forgiving with vibrations going to the players hands when a poor shot is struck. You don't feel as much of a sting from a slightly mishit shot.

The length of the shaft is also important, you should try to swing a driver with the longest shaft possible. A longer shaft creates a longer swing arc and speed, which translates into longer shots. The weight of the shaft is similar to the grips by means of a lighter shaft is better for a mid to high handicapper because it allows him or her to swing the club easier and generate more swing speed.

Choosing the right club head

Steel
Steel clubheads will usually be smaller in size because they have a heavier weight to them. They will also have a more traditional look and feel to them which makes them less intimidating than their other titanium counterparts. Because they are mainly made of stainless steel they are typically less expensive.

Titanium
When you get into the titanium clubheads you will tend to see alot of the bigger and oversize golf drivers. They are lighter in weight and larger in size. This metal allows the clubmakers to make the sweet spot larger, therefor making the club more forgiving for off centre hits. This technology generally makes these clubs a little more expensive.

"I will show you exactly where to find the most incredible discounts on the internet on all types of drivers!"

Standard size
The size of a standard driver clubhead is somewhere around 170 cubic centimeters. Because of the smaller size of these clubs, it is a little harder to hit a solid shot due to the smaller sweet spot from witch you have to hit. These clubs are recommended for lower handicapped golfers who have good control of their golf swings.

Oversized
The size of these drivers can go up to 580 cubic centimeters. They have huge club faces with little or no grooves on them. This allows them to have incredibly large sweet spots making them really forgiving on off centre hits(larger room for error). These types of drivers are mainly perimeter weighted, shifting their weight to the bottom and outside of the club which helps to get the ball up in the air faster. You find these clubs are great for mid to high handicappers because they are so forgiving.

Loft
The loft of the club face is also a very important factor in picking the proper golf driver. It can affect how high and how far the ball will fly. Lofts on golf drivers vary from 7 to 12 degrees. The lower lofted golf drivers are harder to control and launch the ball into the air, but they tend to get a little more distance. On the other hand the higher lofted golf drivers are easier to hit and get into the air while not giving up to much distance.

I recommend the higher lofted golf drivers(9.5 to 12 degrees)to the mid to high handicappers and beginners. And the lower lofted golf drivers(7 to 9.5 degrees)to the lower handicapped and more experienced players.
