Good morning everybody Jordan Burke your friendly neighborhood Club theater just want to do a little PSA public service announcement on the golf ball uh there really isn’t any other piece of equipment in your bag that you use on every single shot other than your golf ball and I don’t count wearing a clove
So uh it is a really really really important piece of the equation I’ve had a couple instances just in the last week of a couple people that have come to see me for fittings and I had one gentleman um who had a bit of an overlap between
His longest iron in his bag first fairywood we did some testing he thought he needed a fairywood that went further but the problem is is that his longest iron in his bag had no breaks and what I mean by that the spin rate was incredibly low it’s what I would want to
See out of a three-wood um so basically it was uh you know he’s hitting a six iron five iron I forgot what which number it actually was and the sped rate was close to like 33500 RPMs and that’s actually where I want your three-wood to live basically
As the clubs get shorter the spin rate should incrementally move up so if you’re hitting an iron at that type of spin rate it’s coming in really flat really hot hitting the greens and having no stopping power it’s like driving around town in the traffic or drivve it
On 75 in a Corvette sports car and having no way of stopping it that’s basically kind of what he’s doing so basically had this club that would land on the green off the back Edge so um rather than talking about new clubs with him I was like hey change your golf
Ball let’s start with that before we worry about new clubs he was playing the Callaway Chrome tour which is the brand new model from Callaway and they have the Chrome tour X which is what I play because I’m one of those people who needs help stopping a golf ball on a
Green um another person that I talked to he was saying that his wedges weren’t spinning enough but his irons were spinning too much and again most likely going to be playing around with a golf ball he’s thinking it’s going to be a shaft issu the shaft is the least
Important part of the golf club when it comes to changing golf performance now obviously if we’re swinging if we have a slower swing speed or you know we’re usually playing regular Flex clubs I’m not going to put you into something that’s 130 grams in weight because it is
Just going to be way too heavy and cumbersome for you to swing conversely if you fit into that heavyweight stiff category I’m not going to put you into something that’s 50 grams and super light so the more important aspect of a golf club in terms of the shaft is the weight but the
Number one most important thing or they probably go hand in hand to each other number one portion thing of a golf club is the club head itself that’s going to provide the launch that’s going to provide the spin that’s going to provide the speed uh the golf shop i s the golf
Ball with will fine-tune that part and match up to what you need and then the golf shaft just helps you in terms of left and right dispersion what is helping us hit the middle of the club face and have the ball take off on a straight line so again golf ball very
Very important I would put it number two behind the club head in terms of performance golf shaft I’d probably actually put it behind the grip size that you have so in terms of order of performance of a golf club and what makes it up we’re probably looking at
The club head number one one the golf ball number two probably your grip size would be way more important than the golf shaft and then it’s just making sure we have you in the correct weight and the weight is way more important than the flex so um if you got any
Questions about Club fitting or you want to come see me to schedule your next appointment please reach out jordanb bonay club.net thank you all have a great Day
