| STABILITY MEANS NOTHING WITHOUT FLEXIBILITY |
 |
How effectively your feet interact with the ground determines both the amount of power you can deliver to the ball AND how square the clubface is at impact. That, as we discussed last week, is why a stable shoe will deliver more performance.
Now it’s important that we highlight the factor that differentiates stability (which we want in a golf shoe) from rigidity (which we certainly don't want in a golf shoe). The shoe needs to work with the foot as it moves through the swing, enabling more of the sole to be in contact with the ground. The more of the sole and the spikes that are in contact with the ground the better the traction becomes and the better power is transferred. |

| Now add two more important factors - comfort and style - into the mix and the “Which one?” decision becomes all the more complicated. It shouldn’t be, and that’s why I stock a very specific range of shoes in the shop. My selection is designed to remove hassle and confusion from the equation. Just ask and I’ll help you make the right choice based on your needs. | |

Your car likely has climate control, your house and office almost certainly have central heating and I’ll guarantee that you won’t get into a bath or shower without making sure the temperature is adjusted correctly first. Why? Because you want to be comfortable or productive or happy in whichever surrounding you find yourself in. So why should the golf course be any different?
Golf specific “Smart” fabrics have been developed to help you perform at your best on the course. They’ll help keep you cooler and sweat-free when it’s hot, warmer and comfortable when it’s cold, and restriction free when you need it most; while you swing. Also, the combination of ‘smart’ fabrics with traditional threads means these shirts don’t look or feel much different from the ‘traditional’ golf polo, which means that you’ll be able to enjoy their benefits off the course just as easily as you will on it.

| Think of all the ‘real-world’ benefits that once-considered ‘golf only’ technologies have brought to the table; fabrics that hold their shape while resisting creases and stains, colours that won’t fade, and collars that don’t curl... Look through your wardrobe and tell me which of your day-to-day garment wouldn’t benefit from some of these characteristics! | |

Those who swing a club at a more moderate pace will likely require distance from their golf ball, because their lack of clubhead speed curbs their ability to generate it on their own. For these golfers, a lower compression ball is needed if the club is to activate the energy of the ball’s core.
A two-piece ball offers this distance but lacks spin control. Conversely, a more expensive Tour ball generates spin but needs more clubhead speed to create any distance. This is where the Trispeed excels; the distance of a two-piece ball but with some of the spin characteristics of a Tour ball – at a price point between the two. |

To offset the recent groove rule change, Callaway introduced two new, softer Tour balls; the Tour i(s) and the Tour i(z) – designed to provide golfers with the increased spin they would need around the greens without sacrificing distance.
This change had an unexpected side effect however; the feedback from the Putter face was ‘dulled’... Enter Odyssey’s ‘White Ice’ insert to restore the balance; 19% firmer than its predecessor, it has been purposely designed to create the ideal feedback between Odyssey Putter and Callaway Tour ball.
If you play a Tour ball you have a great chance to experience this combination. For a limited period, you can buy a White Ice Putter and receive a complimentary sleeve of Callaway’s Tour i(s) golf balls – the perfect match! | |
