Any golfer would love to be able to hit the long ball. Who does not like to be able to hit their golf ball 10, 20, or 30 yards farther then their friends? It does not matter who you are, everybody appreciates a bit hit.

So how is it that some people can hit way farther than others. Is it the clubs? The answer is no. The technology that has come out in the last five years has been a big help. Titanium drivers with over sized club heads and graphite shafts does not hurt. With most golfers owning a club that like now, your advantage off the tee is erased because the playing field has been leveled. The ball is going a little further because of the club but how can you out drive everybody?

It really is a simple answer. You need to get into shape. It’s easier to spend money on a new club then it is trying to get into shape. Since it’s not a physical game and swinging a club is not hard to do there is not much emphasis put on it. It’s time to step back and think about the people who playing this game for a living and what they are doing to hit deep drives. Does Tiger Woods pop into your mind? His workout is a grueling three hour routine where he does weight lifting, stretching, and cardio. Is it sinking in why he always leads the PGA in average driving distance.

How does a weekend warrior like yourself get into shape like Tiger does? If you have tons of money to drop on personal trainers and gyms you could do that. It might not fit into your schedule though. A better idea would be to do the P90X workout routine. It is a routine that will build on all of the muscles that you need to have a strong and fluid golf swing. Most of your swing is built around balance and core strength. P90X works on those and many others. No need to drive to the gym as you can do this from your house. It is a 90 day exercise program that challenges your body.

The best golf workout is already waiting for you and you should go buy the P90X DVD today. What were the weaknesses in your golf game will now be your strengths. Forget about spending $300 on the latest and greatest driver every year and instead invest half of that money on your body and get into shape for golf season.

For amateur golfers, making one’s own set of golf clubs or just that one special club can be a lot of fun, and could help in one’s game.

You may ask why you would ever think of building your own golf clubs.  Well, a big reason is that when you buy clubs off the shelf you are stuck with the sizes and fits that are in stock.  There may be one size for men; another for the women; and another for children who need junior golf clubs. At 6 ft 2 in, for me buying off the rack can cause my golf game to suffer and cause some annoying back aches because if the clubs are too short. By learning to make your own golf clubs you can help your body and save some cash at the same time.

You really don’t need much to make your own golf clubs.You just need a head, shaft, grip and some other materials to hold it all together.Browsing through the net will give you many great options to buying your components and make clubs that match your game.

Club heads — iron and wood heads are available from many suppliers. One can buy club heads that resemble popular brands or designs unique to the manufacturer you buy them from. Each vendor offers their own line of clubs.

Shafts – you can buy the same shafts that most of these branded golf club companies use.

Grips – there are a variety of sizes and types of grips.  You can find them in all price ranges and even buy the same ones the pros use..

Ferules — That’s the little plastic piece that goes on the end of the shaft above the club head on some clubs. These are purely decorative except on graphite shafts, where they are needed to absorb some of the stresses where the shaft joins the club head.

The beauty of finding the components to make your club is the fact that you can mix and match components to match your game.

Some of the tools needed are:

Grip tape – two sided tape is needed

Grip tape solvent – very cheap and you can recycle the excess

Epoxy – you will needs an epoxy with a drying time of 2-3 hours

Pipe cutter for cutting steel shafts, a plumbing cutter will work fine

For graphite shaft use a hack saw

Grip cutting knife – one with a hooked blade works nicely

Sandpaper for roughing up shaft tips to epoxy them

Shaft clamp – a thick piece of rubber in a vise works well

Making a golf club consists of measuring and cutting the shaft to length, abrading the tip to make sure the bond to the head is as good as possible. You then push the ferrule over the thin end of the shaft and glue the head to the shaft with an epoxy. Waiting for the epoxy to dry is the worst part of the job… You want to take your new golf club to the course and try it out. Once the epoxy has settled, you wrap the butt end of the shaft with grip tape (double-sided sticky tape), get it wet using one of a wide range of solvents, slide the grip over it and let dry. Now you clean your new golf club, polish the ferrule and end up with something better then you can buy at a store.

So get to your computer, surf the net and find great websites to get your components. In no time, you will be able to create your own golf clubs. So, go and have some fun.

Those who play golf know it’s addictive. Building your own club can be addicting as well.
