Swingweight kit

This box of Swingweight kits cost $29.95 from GolfWorks....

Is it because Golfers willing to pay higher price thus golf related goods are expensive or is it because golf related goods are expensive thus golfers forced to pay higher price?

Thinking about it, the Supply-Demand curve is actually proportional to the ball trajectory...

Persimmon Wood


I am currently in possession of these from a good friend. You can't help thinking, look at the beauty of these woods, can you resist?

Golf Practice

The whole idea of practice is to reproduce a swing movement that I could bring to the golf course. Somehow I found that my practice session is usually fixing and correcting. It is funny to realize that I spent most of the time correcting rather than reproducing any repetitive movement. I wonder why swing movement can go wrong from one day to the other. It just happens and it never ends.

Monday I fixed the follow-through, Tuesday I corrected my spline angle, Wednesday I adjusted my back swing, Thursday I puzzled over my stance, Friday I stablelized my lower body movement, Saturday I went onto course and play, wondering what I had done over the week and shot an amazing high score. Sunday I returned to range cursing on my lack of talents, Monday I started the cycle again...

Golf Par

Par is defined to be standard strokes counted in order to bring the little white ball from tee to the hole on the green. For a high handicapper, if I raise the standard Par from "Par" to "Bogey", that's mean I am adding one more stroke allowed to myself to make par, it will change the whole playing strategy. Instead of hitting with 2nd shot 3-wood, I can hit with 2nd shot 7 iron and 3rd shot PW to bring the ball to the green. For a Par 4, if I can 2 putt and finish the hole, I will end up with my standard Par. In the end, if I am able to use this strategy and make par for each hole, bogey if in real score, I still end up with a score of 90 for standard Par 72. For any better shot, it will be all to my benefits.

This is a very easy strategy to be executed, yet as human being who likes to wear hat bigger than the head, could this be easily done?

The Prototype

So I was pretty excited with the new assembled driver, the cherry red renovated 580XD. It turns out it was quite a disappointment. Still have not found one shaft that can compare to Fujikura.
