Tips for Choosing Your Driver

How can you enjoy your golf game? I think it's a macho thing as the driver is the longest hitting club. However for most club golfers the driver can be the most difficult clubs to master so choosing the right one for your swing and skill is all important. So what should you look for when you need to choose ping golf driver? The driver shaft needs to be linked to your swing; if you are relatively new to golf or slightly older you may not have a powerful swing and could benefit from a more flexible shaft. On the other hand if you are a good golfer with a faster swing speed you will need a stiffer shaft providing better control over the golf ball. Generally there are two choices for the material used for the shafts; either graphite or iron with the graphite option costing somewhat more. Actually for most golfers steel is fine but graphite shafts can help when you have a slow swing speed and may gain you a few yards.
Gone are the days where the r11 drive could cover only 250 yards. With modern technologies in place many golf courses are being revamped in the last decade due to the added length of the tees these days. You must take into consideration size and try and opt for the biggest of them all. Because the larger the club, the larger the sweet spot, increasing the chances of hitting the ball at a greater length. The longer your first shot, the shorter your second, thus larger golf drivers facilitate a lower score. You could opt for the trendy titanium heads that are lighter in weight thus giving you higher club head speed. It is also long lasting and highly durable.
As for the criterion is the loft of the club. It should essentially be within 7.5 degrees to 13 degrees. The angle decides on how well you get the ball high into the air. If you are an amateur go for a lower value, if not go for the higher angle. As far as the shaft length factor, the longer the shaft the more is the speed. So you could opt for lengths between 43-46 inches. As far as the material of the shaft is concerned you have a plethora of steel, graphite and other materials available. For the modern times, graphite should suit your putting needs. Lastly you need to finalize on the grip size, which should essentially be smaller because larger grips reduces the swing of the club.
