  1. The The Importance Importance of and and Alignment Alignment Sticks of Golf Golf Gears Sticks Gears The proper fitting of golf gears is vital to your game. Proper fitting of a golf shaft also helps reduce the 'Gear Effect' on your driver and fairway wood shots. The centre of gravity in your body and the alignment of your club shaft will also affect your swing. You can learn more about golf gears by reading the article below. Also, read more about Alignment sticks. Gears can also help you improve your driving and chipping distance. Centre Centre of Effect' Effect' of gravity gravity helps helps reduce reduce 'Gear 'Gear If you are a golfer who has ever wondered why your ball is turning off-centre, this theory will explain why. It all comes down to the centre of gravity of the club and ball, and a 'Gear Effect' occurs when the ball contacts the club's heel or toe. This impact will turn the ball, changing its spin and direction of flight. The centre of gravity of the club and the ball are in fact two

  2. interlocked gears. As a result, the club's COG is much higher than that of the ball, resulting in a difference in ball flight. 'Gear Effect' can be reduced with the right club, but it can still occur with the wrong club. A club with a low MOI can cause a ball to roll off-centre, and vice-versa. If you want to reduce the gear effect, consider using a driver with a higher MOI. Metal clubs will produce more side spin because their center of gravity is closer to the face. greenvalleyccofri.com Proper Proper fitting fitting of of a a shaft shaft A shaft must be properly fitted for the golfer's swing speed. Different manufacturers have different criteria when determining the stiffness of the shaft. The goal of the proper shaft fitting is to achieve a balance between distance and control. While a light shaft may increase distance, a heavier shaft might enhance control. Ultimately, the right fitting should provide the ideal balance between distance and control. If you want to get the most out of your golf game, this article is for you. Shafts are crafted differently by different companies and have individual characteristics and performance benefits. Elite shafts tend to have higher tolerances and uniformity, flex better, and feel better. Unlike standard shafts, elite shafts do not deteriorate with time and are made to provide excellent performance. A proper fitting will minimize the risk of nicks and droop. Whether you decide to go with an elite shaft or a cheaper one is ultimately up to you.

  3. Alignment Alignment sticks sticks Alignment sticks for golf gears are useful tools for practicing the proper alignment of the body during address and impact. By using these tools, you can align your feet, hips, and shoulders properly. These tools can also be used for positional drills. The alignment sticks come in sets of two. You should place one stick in front of the ball and the other one parallel to it next to where you will position your feet. Golf alignment sticks are available in different varieties. Some have additional visuals, such as a gradient section, or a different colored central section. These can save you the trouble of inserting tee pegs to mark the 'hit zone'. In addition, these sticks provide a consistent 'datum' when using them. You should not push alignment sticks into the ground as you may damage them. Effects Effects of and and fairway fairway wood of 'Gear 'Gear Effect' wood shots Effect' on shots on driver driver The impact force and the club face bulge affect the ball flight in different ways. Both of these effects are designed to minimize

  4. the dispersion of energy and reproduce the results of an impact at the center of the club face. Balls struck off-center lose energy, and never travel the same distance. The degree of gear effect depends on the depth of the center of gravity (CG) and the amount of face curvature. The more the CG is away from the clubface, the higher the curvature is in the face. In the driver, the center of gravity is lower than the club face. Hence, the ball will spin left to right. Likewise, the center of gravity is higher in the fairway woods and is situated at the back of the clubface. This results in the 'Gear Effect', or sidespin. The result of this effect varies depending on the shot location. Golfers often use their driver with the club face tilted down to maximize the Gear Effect, but this will affect the outcome of their ball shots.
