Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we explore which golf ball is best suited to your budget, we take our first glance at Motocaddy's latest electric trolleys, and we reveal the answer to last week's poll. Enjoy the read. |
Are you wearing the right size glove? A properly fit glove is as important to your game as using the right club or golf ball. Your glove is your closest point of contact with your club. If it does not fit properly, your hand may move within your glove, any movement could compromise your swing, so correct fit is crucial to your game. You want your glove to fit like a second skin. Here is what to look for: |
| Fits like a second skin | A proper fitting golf glove should fit like a second skin, tight across the palm and fingers, with no loose material. |
| Fingers should be snug
| You should not have extra material at the top of your fingers, if you do, you may want to size down or try a Cadet glove in your size. |
| Room to adjust closure | The tab should only come about 75% of the way across the back of your hand (leaving 1/4” of Velcro uncovered) to allow for adjustment during play. |
|
What glove wear can tell you about your game? Ideally, your glove won’t show any wear before it is time to replace it, but if it does, then here are a few pointers that could improve your game. |
| Palm wear | Your hands may be slipping during your swing, or you may be holding your club with your palms rather than your fingers. |
| Heel wear | You may be re-gripping at the top of your swing, or you may be holding the club too close to the end. Check that you are gripping the clubs about an inch from the end. |
| Thumb wear | You may be extending your thumb too far down the shaft. Point your left thumb slightly toward the right for a more natural, comfortable backswing. |
|
Always rotate your gloves Rotating between multiple gloves extends the life of each glove because it gives them more time to dry out. |

First one way, now the other The U.S. Open had everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, and it’s safe to say that the course set-up played a huge part in this. With much of the debate centred around whether the USGA made conditions too tricky or not, we posed this very question to you over the past week on our website poll and here are the results: 75% of you believe the USGA got it wrong at Shinnecock Hills It really does make for interesting reading. Just a couple of months ago we asked you whether you’d prefer to see 20-under-par win a tournament or two-over-par, and the results were the complete reverse. On that occasion, 82% voted in favour of seeing the world’s best struggle to make a score, which is exactly what happened at the U.S. Open. Click here to let us know your thoughts. |

Which bracket do you fall in? |
There’s one thing that you'll always need in abundance when playing golf and that’s balls - and plenty of them. Each golf ball we sell offers different levels of feel and performance at varying price points, meaning we have something to offer all playing preferences and budgets. |
| Bang for your buck Balls at a cheaper price point usually have one key performance benefit rather than offering a little of everything. This Callaway Warbird follows the trend by offering maximum distance with your longer clubs thanks to its aerodynamic dimples and high-energy core, giving you lots of power for little expenditure. |
| The all-rounder If you’re looking for more balanced performance through the bag but without the premium price tag, this Callaway Supersoft ball is designed to be long, straight and soft. It doesn’t spin as much as the Chrome Soft, but its low compression core helps create long, high flights that land softly. |
| Tour performance The saying 'you get what you pay for' certainly applies when it comes to golf balls. Callaway's Chrome Soft is their premium option, and it's easy to see why, with a soft urethane cover for short-game spin and a graphene-infused core that boosts ball speed and provides more iron control. |
