Equipment
Getting properly fitted is still one of the most important activities you can do to improve your golf game. However, there ARE a few things that are often overlooked.
As many of you know, I am a big proponent of getting properly fitted golf equipment. It's just too much of a crap shoot to buy of the shelf. Of course, it's always your choice.
That being said, getting fitted is not always the miracle cure you might think it is. There are just a lot of variables to consider and it takes a real pro to separate the wheat from the chaff.
So here are 3 things to consider that I think ...

Here are some of the best golf swing training aids that we recommend. We have personally used all these and highly recommend to anyone wanting to measurably improve their golf game.
We tried to select the simplest, most "non-gimmicky" training aids that have stood the test of time. Some you might recognize and some you might not. We did throw in just a few "cooler" aids that we really believe in.
Here's our top 10 (and in no particular order):
The MomentusThis is the one training aid that I don't think I could do without (and, by far, it's the one I ...
Somebody put me out of my misery. Get a TaylorMade Rocketballz 3 wood, try it out and report back that you got ZERO more yardage. Then I can stop thinking how I can buy one for myself without my wife knowing!
With the new year fast approaching it means that golf season and the Master's are just around the corner. The new year brings a chance for change and buying the latest, coolest equipment for the upcoming season.
If you’re heading into your garage or garden shed to find a dusty, neglected pair of
golf shoes, it’s probably the time to start looking for a shiny, new pair.
Golf shoes need plenty of care and attention to keep them at their best performance, and if yours are looking a little dated, and your just not getting the performance out of them you're looking for, you may find the new technology advances and standard of shoes could improve your game in ...
I just had to put this in. I mean we have all these cool golf gadgets and golf training aids. Things like the Gyroscope, the Momentus, The Inside Approach, The Secret and on and on. All these really high-brow, fancy-dancy golf inventions. What what about the lower-brow ones - like Bathroom Golf?
Who says we can't revert to a little bathroom humor here at GolfDash ;-)
My wife showed this to me the other day and we all got a good belly laugh out of this product. Another classic dumb golf product - but you gotta love it!
Read the description:
Bathroom Golf
This contour is made of felt and comes with 2 plastic balls ...
If the Nike Lunar Control fits your foot, I highly recommend you give them a try. I'm confident after the first 9 holes you'll know you made the right choice.
In my opinion, today's mainstream golf teacher is very one-dimensional and can only help players wishing to improve in a very limited way. I know a lot of pros will highly disagree with this view but hear me out.
I'm not saying it's they're fault, per say, but a LOT more goes into playing excellent golf than trying to flatten someone's golf swing or having them line up square.
What if you go to a golf lesson and the instructor wants to to complete a fuller turn but come to find out your body cannot get into that position easily? it might be more of a biomechanics issue than a ...
Unfortunately we live in a world gone mad with consumerism. And it's unbridled consumerism that's killing golf. To those making the big bucks in golf, everything looks rosy. That's probably what Nero thought before he saw the flames devouring Rome.
Equipment companies are having a feast, though they probably feel more like junkies - 'wish we could stop this technology madness but I don't think we can live without it'. Golf ball manufacturers are in the midst of the 'Great Golf Ball Wars of the 21st Century'. Pretty soon even us slugs will be able to manage a 410 yard drive. Our old par 71 course will be reduced to a ...
I recently got custom fit for new golf irons through the franchise,
GolfTec, in Burlington, MA. The process was extremely interesting and I'll share the process below.
Getting custom-fit for golf clubs is one of the buzzwords nowadays but I think totally warranted. We've done a number of pieces on this in past articles. But get the gist of it in this video by master clubmaker Tom Wishon in our article,
How Custom Golf Club Fitting Can Measurably Improve Your Game. It's very eye-opening!
As I mentioned in my last article,
Getting Custom-fit for New Irons - I decided a number of weeks back to upgrade my irons ...
I am off this coming week to get custom fit for a new set of irons. It's been about 8 years or so since my last set and since I am re-committing to playing a lot more golf (and getting better) I figure I am due.
Since re-committing to my golf game I have done quite a few things. I have started a new exercise program based on my
biomechanics assessment I have joined a golf club (
Crumpin Fox Golf Club here in MA) and am scheduled to be re-fitted for irons this week at
GolfTec in Burlington, MA. At some point I will be getting fit for ...
