If you are thinking about taking a golf trip, there are a few golf tips that you should keep in mind. There are important things to keep in mind about your golf game, such as putter length and swing. Although they might not seem very important to the golf game, putter length is the most important parameter. In fact, length accounts for half of your distance control and half of your directional control. Having the correct length promotes a comfortable posture as well.



It is also good to know that loft accounts for ninety percent of the putts distance control and about ten percent of the directional control. Keep in mind that there are three ways to contact the ball at impact. You can increase the loft by having the hands behind the ball at impact. You can also de-loft the putter with a forward press or go perfectly vertical or straight up and down. Also, if the shaft is ahead or behind the line, you should adjust the loft of the putter to compensate. It has been shown through testing that a putter should have four degrees of loft to obtain the most consistent roll.

Additionally, head weight accounts for about ninety percent of a putts distance control and only fifteen percent of a putts directional control. To measure a putter’s swing weight, the club is placed on a fulcrum scale and the measurement is taken. The range should be between C4 and D6 or for better results the swing weight should be between C6 and D4.

Remember that if the putter is too light, the player will not have a good feel for the distance and therefore consistency will suffer. If the putter is not heavy enough we need to add weight to get as close to this range or to the correct feel for the player as possible. Lie angle is the second most important putter fitting parameter.

MOI is the measurement of the objects resistance to twisting. The higher the MOI, the less likely the head is to twist on a putt struck on the toe or heel. There is no doubt that a high MOI putter will result in better distance control and directly contribute to a golfer’s ability to putt more consistently. Every one of us can benefit from playing a putter with a high MOI.

When putting, the lie angle accounts for ninety percent of the putts directional control and five percent of the putts distance control. On a regular foot putt, if the putter’s lie angle is four degrees up, the ball will be pulled 1 3/16" to the left. Keep in mind that head design accounts for half of the putts directional control and fifty percent of the putts distance control. An eighteen handicapper misses the center of the putter face by one and a half inches on a twenty two foot putt. These are some great things to keep in mind when you are going on your golf vacation on Myrtle Beach because in order to enjoy your golf trip, you will want to be good at your game and improve as much as you can.
