Coaching news

TrackMan is coming to Donnington

The stats below give you an idea of the speed and distances that the average Tour players may create. When we look at Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods or Rory Mcllroy’s numbers we sometimes get an unrealistic picture of hard and fast they swing the club. You will also notice that on average a Tour pro will hit down on the ball with all their clubs including the driver.

Over the next few months we will be bringing TrackMan to Donnington Grove, if you are interested in seeing your own numbers and working on them with one of the team in the coming months, keep an eye out through our newsletter for when this service will start.

For more information on TrackMan call 01635551975 or click here to get in touch.

Tip of the week

Warming up for a round in the right way will get you off to the perfect start. Working on all areas of your game before heading out to play will help you be more confident when you tee it up on the first hole.

Watch the video below on how Tiger Woods prepares before a round, its fascinating to see how he goes about it.

The key to success

It was the perfect start to 2019 for world number one Justin Rose, as he won the Farmers Insurance Open by three shots at Torrey Pines to claim his tenth victory on the PGA Tour. Rose, who has switched club manufacturers this season, showed no signs of rustiness as he drove and putted superbly throughout the week, with every round finishing in the 60s. He had a brief wobble in the final round, with three bogeys in his opening five holes, but his nearest challenger in Adam Scott was unable to capitalise.

Whilst there would have been some eyebrows raised at Rose’s decision to switch up the clubs in his bag having just reached the pinnacle of golf, his victory shows that even the world’s best can keep on finding ways to improve their game through a change of gear in the bag. If you think it’s time for you to do the same, come down to the shop and have a chat with us – we’ll be happy to help you pick the clubs which take your game to the next level.

The best keeps getting better

Titleist is a brand which is synonymous with excellence, with the iconic Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls proving a huge success for almost two decades now. So, rather than wholesale changes to an already brilliant offering, the brand has made some subtle - yet significant - improvements for 2019, including a high optic yellow colour option!

Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x (2019)

Golfers are greedy. We want to hit the ball further than ever but without giving up on anything else, such as feel or control. Well, the 2019 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls will give you more ball speed and less long-game spin off the clubface compared to previous versions, which is the perfect equation for increased distance.

Couple this with amazing short game performance, and you have two golf balls that'll provide you with everything you need on the golf course.

Not sure which one to go for? Come and chat to us in-store and we'll fit you for the Titleist golf ball which best suits your game.

The moment you've been waiting for...

Last week, we revealed some of the best irons on the market for 2019. Well, this time we're bringing out the big guns for you; it's time to take a look at one of the hottest, fastest drivers on the market in 2019 that'll have you hitting the ball further than ever off the tee.

Callaway Epic Flash driver

Featuring Flash Face Technology - arguably the most exciting piece of technology to hit the market this year - this driver comes with a radically different face design to boost ball speeds for greater distance off the tee.

The likes of Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia will be putting this into play on Tour, so why wouldn't you get fitted for it as well?
