Direct Golf - Golf MOT
As a "valued" customer i took up an email offer of a free 40 minute MOT at Direct Golf, Walsall this evening.
Apart from a couple of glitches [ i. they didn't have a record of my booking and ii. some of their flash equipment wasn't working ] i had a thoroughly enjoyable hour and a half.
Interestingly found out that my grips are knackered, the lie of my clubs was wrong for my stance and that the flex of my shafts varied but were generally on the very stiff side for my swing speed. I have to say i thought this kind of stuff wouldn't make too much difference but then having tried a number of different clubs set up to better suit me i was amazed at the difference in accuracy and distance. Could just be the seduction of handling shiny new gear of course.
Picked up a few good tips on my swing too so thanks to the chaps at Walsall, sadly i may have to go back soon to buy some new irons!

Paul, it certainly does open your eyes when you have a chance to try different clubs that fit your swing profile.
Something as simple as having the lie of your clubs adjusted can make such a difference to your swing.
I remember having my new set custom fitted and finding out that the reason I used to hit a slice was the fact that my old clubs had a standard lie. My new clubs were two degrees upright.

Without a doubt it opened ny eyes.
Russ- that was exactly it, too stiff and 2 degrees out = slices. And i thought it was just me!
