 Karen Tucker is a PGA instructor at The Golf School of Tustin Ranch. Reach her at (714) 730-1611 or ktucker@tustinranchgolf.com. Age: 44 Handicap: 10 Plays: Three or four times a month Practices: Maybe once a month Question: I want a new driver, but I have no interest in the oversized models. What steps should I go through in finding the right driver? Prescription: I’d like you to keep an open mind when it comes to testing new equipment and understand that if the results surpass your expectations, you might fall in love with the results and have an easier time getting past the aesthetics of the club. As a certified clubfitter, it’s important to me that you schedule an appointment for a fitting. This will ensure a proper length, shaft, degree of loft, head design, grip size and feel. All contribute to maximum distance with accuracy. Second, a number of touring professionals like to use a traditional-looking driver. Therefore, many club companies try to appeal to them by keeping their pro series line less oversized. The Cobra S9-1 Pro S or D driver, depending on your launch angle and ball speed, are models I recommend you hit. Patient: Female Age: 41 Handicap: 28 Plays: About twice a year Practices: Never Question: I’m athletic and in good shape, but I haven’t played much golf in the past 10-15 years. What should I focus on if I want to become an 80s shooter again? Prescription: Find an instructor you can work with throughout the year. Evaluate what part of your game needs the most attention and take a few playing lessons on the course. Your professional should work with you on a feasible practice plan for the amount of time you can devote to the process. Second, make sure you’re playing with equipment that works for you. Make a clubfitting appointment with a certified fitter. If you don’t do that, at least check your grips for size and tactile comfort. If any of your equipment is older than five years, see which part of your game needs the most attention and buy the most helpful club necessary. Most importantly, work on your short game — a lot. It’s the best way to shave strokes. |
