Get A Grip Take a look at your grips, you may feel they are ok but if you compare them to a new grip you will be surprised at the difference. Even though they may not look worn, grips get worn and a bit shiny over time, the consequence is that you start gripping the club harder which leads to poor shots and higher scores.
Our 2019 promotional campaign gets under way next week, we have teamed up with the #1 grip supplier Golf Pride to offer you a FREE re-grip on your 7 iron.

Odyssey Stroke Lab
The new Odyssey Stroke Lab putter is now in stock! This putter range is one-of-a-kind in terms of quality of strike and helping you get a smooth, consistent stroke.
Putter heads have increased in size over recent years, with the aim to becoming more stable through impact. With this change, Odyssey has realised that they needed to reinvent their shafts to really get the maximum from their putter range - and so the hybrid Stroke Lab shaft was born.

Tactics, tactics, tactics

There will always come a time when, as a golfer, you need to really attack the pin to give yourself a chance of making a certain score on a hole. However, whether or not you choose to depends as much on the positioning of the flag than anything else. |
 | | Scenario #1 | Take the above illustration, for example; with the flag cut so close to both the bunker and the edge the green which slopes away from you, you would be better off taking any danger out of play by aiming for the middle of the green. This will help you avoid trouble and any dropped shots, even if you miscue slightly. |
 | | Scenario #2 | However, if the flag is in a more central position – as shown in the second illustration above – then you can be a lot more aggressive with your shot. Take aim straight at the pin and commit to your shot. Hopefully, you’ll be reaping the rewards when you step onto the green for a great chance of making a two-putt par. |
