Same goes with golf clubs. ting a little lower loft to produceoff the Most clubs off the rack are what the more distance.rack is industry calls ‘standard size’….that I would like to concentrate moreChris hardmangreat if youare groceryshopping orpicking upnails at thehardwarestore. Let’sface it, soup isis the specs of the clubs are generallythe same from one manufacturer tothe next.A golfer can be fairly certainthat a Ping 5 iron will have roughlythe same length, loft and lie angle asa Titleist or a Callaway. Some manufacturerswill play with the loft ofon lie angle of irons today. Lie angleis the angle between the bottom, orsole, of the golf club and the shaft.Proper lie angle is critical if you wantthe opportunity to make accurate golfshots. The purpose in adjusting thegolf club's lie angle is to ensure thatthe club is resting squarely on its solesoup. Buying off the rack for sayclothes is a bit different…..you looktheir irons to claim that their fiveiron is longer than the next by put-at address to get your swing on theright swing plane and keep the clubfacesquare at impact.If a lie angle is too upright itcauses the heel of the club to hit theground first, closing the clubface andproduces a pull or hook. A lie anglethat is too flat causes the toe to hitthe ground first, opening the clubface,resulting in a push or slice.Nearly 90% of all lie angles are offby at least 2 degrees.IN STOCKA good test to see if your clubsLargestselection ofare properly fit for your swing isnew and used clubschecking out your divot after youhave hit a shot.

equipment reviewNike Golf Balls to Challenge titleist Prov1By Sam SmithAll of the major golf equipmentcompanies rely onfeedback to improve theirproducts from year to year. Nike isno exception to that rule, and theirLightweight resin core increases weight onperimeter producing less spin off a driverand more spin on short iron shots.latest edition of golf ball is againmaking a push against what hasbeen the number one ball in golf…the Titleist ProV1.Nike professionals, includingTiger Woods, Stewart Cink, PaulCasey, Lucas Glover, Suzann Pettersonand Michelle Wie, had suggestionsand requests for Rock Ishii,Nike Golf’s Product DevelopmentDirector, when they were lookingfor an advantage against the greatestgolfers in the world.They asked for a golf ball withless spin off the tee for greater distance,but more spin around thegreens for better feel and control.Through trial and error Rock finallycame up with the ultimate combo -the new Nike 20XI.In technical terms for the changein the 20XI ball, Nike used anionomer lightweight resin materialfor the center, increasing the weightof the perimeter to achieve higherMOI (moment of inertia).MoMeNt of iNertiA:(physics) A measure of a body's resistanceto a change in its angularrotation velocity. Amount offorce required to spin an object.This MOI increase makes for asteeper spin slope; a ball that spinsmore off short shots and less off adriver, creating a huge competitiveadvantage for golfers of any level ofplay.Nike pros all expressedthat they feltmore confident with thenew Nike 20XI ball.Paul Casey felt the stabilityas the ball held itsline, Suzann Pettersonliked the soft cover offthe putter face, and WellsFargo Champion LucasGlover, found his approachshots to have alower trajectory and spinmore; all of this from the same ball.Nike introduced the solid core in2000 and in no time the rest of thegolf manufacturers followed suit.Titleist took that solid core design,and the wound ball was ancient history.Now in 2011 the quest continuesfor a better golf ball with Niketaking the lead again.Even if you’re a Titleist ProV1golf ball purest, give this new Nike20XI ball a try. Both balls retail inthe high $40’s per-dozen at your localgolf stores, maybe a little cheaper online. The Nike feel around thegreens and accuracy off the tee couldbe just what you need to improveyour game, even a bit above what Titleisthas offered for years.Rock Ishii, Nike Golf’s Product Development Director,looking for an advantage for Nike professionals againstthe greatest golfers in the world._____________________________________________________________ www.CarolinaGolfJournal.Com - Summer 2011 - 25
