Today's putter grips come in all sizes, shapes and configurations. You see very Big oversized Putters in may options available today. What is right for you?
The key is your Stroke, Feel and Release. Try out some different sizes. Close your eyes and see which "feels' natural. Watch to see how freely your release is with small, medium and large grips, See how natural and free your release of the Putter is toward the target line. It can really help.

Putter Fitting for Length
A key aspect of proper Putter fitting is the length of the Putter. Length is important for proper feel and stance. There is another aspect that is very important...Stroke execution.
If your Putter is too short or too long the stroke back and through the ball is not natural. When you have the proper length, you have a natural fluid stroke. Too short or long and you have to contrive a stroke that is not free and can restrict your stroke.

Fitting Wedges - Check the Bounce
The bounce is the amount of sole angle. On Wedges, more bounce equals Less Dig into the ground or sand. Less bounce...you get more Dig into the ground or Sand. The amount of "bounce" on your wedges is important to Fit correctly to your game and course conditions.
Equally important to Shot making for better golfers is the amount of Bounce when you lay the club face Open as in a flop shot. Most Wedges that you lay open to get more loft on a shot end up with more bounce when open. Consider a Wedge with "zero bounce" when layed open. A Zero-golf Wedge will not increase Loft when opened.

Buy the Right GOlf Ball for Your Game
With the large number and variety of golf balls today, don't just by the most popular brand without checking into it more. Most golfers don't need the most expensive golf balls to achive good results. I read an article last year that said something to the affect that if you aren't a single digit handicapper, don't spend more than $15.oo per dozen for golf balls.
While the manufactuers advertise a lot of hype about their particular golf ball, thre is valuable information on the Box and on-line. Check it out compared to you needs before you pay a bunch for golf balls.

Custom Fitting for Golf Grips...Don't Overlook
I have posted Blogs about Grips several times...I believe it is very important. Most golfers do not have a "custome fitted Grip" on their clubs. Big mistake. The grip gives you Control, Feel and Feedback from your shot.
There are a number of Grips sizes available from Men's & Women's Standard, undersized, mid-size and over-sze grips. In addition, a custome club fitter can actually measure and custom fit the Grips to you by adding grip wrap tape to build the grip size up to your specifications before installing the Grip itself. With the golf season starting in many locals, start the season out right by getting custome grips.

Fitting Clubs with Launch Monitor
In a recent article on I-News web-site, March 4, 2010 about launch monitor fitting, the article said..."what a golfer needs more than anything else is the right golf clubs with the right specifications." I could not agree more.
If you have an opportunity to be fitted using a golf Launch Monitor, it is very helpful.. Some golf stores, PGA instructors and local Club Fitters may have a launch monitor measiring device. You can get some valuable specifications for yourself. One important fitting recommendation from launch monitors will be the "Loft" for your clubs particularly your Driver.

If you follow this Blog, you know how much importance is placed on choosing the right golf clubs by proper club fitting. Just as important is your Golf Fitness.
All during golf season, but particularly in those climates that have shorter seasons due to Winter weather, paying close attention to "fitness" is very important. I learned a number of years ago at a PGA golf training school about how important fitness is to playing and enjoying golf.
There are any number of good books on golf fitness and stretching exercises. You can also ask a personal traner at the Fitness centers.
Whatever your age and physical condition, efforts and consistency in staying fit and completing regular stretching exercises for you ability will really help your golf.

Consider Steel Shafts for Your Irons
As the Graphite shafts of various materials have developed and become very popular, I get a lot of questions around "should I use Steel or Graphite" shafts in my Irons?" It is an important question.
If you are a senior golfer, a Lady golfer with a higher handicap or a golfer looking for more distance in your Irons, then Graphite is a shaft material to consider. However, if accuracy and control are the objectives, then consider the following.
Manufacturers today have made big improvements in making steel shafts with special alloys much lighter. You can get quality Steel shafts under 90 grams which is nearer many graphite shafts for Irons. With lighter steel you can gain the distance affect of lighter graphite shafts without giving up the control offered by Steel shafts.
