Blade or mallet?

The past few months have seen us talk a lot about the importance of using clubs that are suited to your game because, ultimately, they’re going to give you the most help when out on the course. One piece of equipment we haven’t touched on yet, which needs just as much attention, is your putter.

How do you narrow down the options?

If you come by the shop to buy a new putter, you’ll be faced with an array of styles. From different head shapes and alignment guides, to various lengths and grip types.

So how do you know which one will help you hole more putts?

There are some trends you can look to. Larger mallet putters like this Wilson Staff Infinite The Bean tend to suit golfers with straighter putting arcs, while they are also a little more stable to help with shorter putts.

In comparison, blades like this Wilson Staff 8802 can usually help those of you with more of an arcing stroke, while some players also prefer the feel a blade offers.

Of course, the most sensible thing to do is come to us once you have a shortlist and we can advise you on which model will best suit your stroke type and take you through a full custom fitting. Just imagine how many shots you could drop by holing more putts.

The joys of twilight golf

June 21st marked the longest day of the year in the UK and as the weather continues to improve, now is the perfect time to squeeze in a game after work. If you do, be prepared for twilight golf by ensuring you have both of the following.

Sun protection
This distinctive Galvin Green Marty Tour polo offers an impressive UPF 20+ protection to ensure you can enjoy all the benefits of the sun when you’re out on the course without the risks. It also boasts a dynamic part-elastane stretch fabric and breathable Ventil8 material that keeps you cool – two golf-specific technologies that often go unnoticed.

Lightweight mid-layer
You don’t want to get caught out when the sun starts to go in and temperatures drop, so it’s sensible to carry a lightweight option like this Galvin Green Dane vest. Its smooth Insula Lite fabric offers maximum breathability to keep you swinging comfortably, plus it’s shaped around the shoulders to enable natural swing movements.
