The advantages to living in Florida are many but my favorite is still year round, affordable golf. However, let me warn you my good friends, there could be trouble lurking in twelve months of constant pounding on that course - pain. I don't know many country club golfers that don't suffer some serious discomfort, either in their shoulder or lower back. If you haven't, think about switching to graphite shafts, much less damage on the shoulders and arms. So take care of yourself, do some stretching before you play and consider an exercise regimen that will keep those muscle from tighten up. If you are playing for fun don't push too hard and, while we are speaking of "having fun", play from a set of tees where you can actually reach the greens in regulation. Let me know what you think.

I meant, none of the top ball companies (Titleist-Callaway-Srixon etc...) will say not to buy a ProV1, Hex Black Tour, or Srixon Z star if your club head speed is under 90 miles an hour. Personally, I don't think the ball compresses against the head of a driver enough with these expensive balls. You have to loose distance. Help please????? | |

You never talk about the golf ball. If one can only swing a driver at say 90 miles an hour can he/she hit a ProV1 or should they now hit a Titleist NXT? None of the top rated balls will let you know this info | |

Hey Deacon, try some of the clubs from our iron test but make you you try them with graphite, senior flex shafts. The shafts will make the biggest difference as we get older. | |
