Custom Fitted Golf Clubs

Custom Golf Club: Custom Fitting Golf Clubs

Every golfer's physical capability and swing is distinctive. Many of today's best golf clubs can be custom fit for lie angle, shaft type and length, grip type and size. Custom fitting golf clubs involves several easy measurements and a quick self-assessment of your game. This custom golf club has become more than a fad that even not so professional golfers test its waters.

Custom fitting is the process for tailoring a golf club to suit your personal swing.

Whatever your level, with a custom golf club the aim is to ensure that if you do make a good swing, the club will be square at impact and should produce a straight shot.

Custom Golf Club How To's:

To custom fit your golf clubs, you need to know: your gender (male or female); your height in your stockings or socks; the distance from your wrist (where it bends) to the floor with your shoes off; your age; your handicap or skill level; how fast you swing a golf club; what club you use at the 150 yard marker.

Gender is used to put you into the correct fitting scale for custom golf clubs. The golf industry uses different definitions of "standard length" for men and women.

Your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to determine the length of a custom golf club that is appropriate for you. The starting point for club length can vary up to 3 ½-inch ranging from ladies to men plus 1 ½-inch. A tall person with long arms can very easily require shorter clubs than an average height person with short arms. About 80 percent of golfers are standard length.

Your age, handicap (if you happen to have one), self-assessed skill level, estimated golf swing speed and club you use at the 150 yard marker are all combined to determined the custom golf club's shaft flex that is appropriate for you.

Custom fitting can fix your slice. If you slice the ball it means that the toe of the club is leading into the ball which opens the face of the club. That may be down to a swing fault, but it could be because the club is too flat. So as part of the custom fitting process you can make the custom golf club more upright to help with this. This will mean that the toe of the club will be slightly off the ground at address to compensate.

There are different methods of fitting according to custom golf club manufacturers but ultimately they are all trying to improve your game. To begin with simple measurements such as wrist-to-floor, height and hand size are taken and will point you to the right size club and at what angle it should be to the ground. Then you will take a club and hit some balls. One method is to place impact tape on the bottom of the custom golf club and an impact board on the floor.

As you hit the ball the board will leave a mark on the tape showing whether the heel or the toe of the custom golf club is striking the floor first. The resulting mark will show whether the club face needs to be flatter or more upright. Then things get a bit more advanced. Analysis equipment can measure everything from your club speed to the side spin of the ball so that you can get maximum distance from your shot. You can also measure the launch angle of the ball, how much backspin you generate and impact efficiency - all which affect distance. The angle in which the custom golf club approaches the ball and the sidespin of it can help fix your game too.

Rather than bringing down your old clubs, it might be better to start from scratch. It's a big misconception that custom fitting is only for good golfers. Anyone can benefit. That said, if you plan to upgrade a new set of clubs with the same manufacturer they may be able to adjust your old set to become custom golf clubs.

Custom fitting won't cure all your bad shots. Coaching will sort that out. But if you do make a good swing, then the custom golf club will arrive correctly at impact and should produce a straight shot at your target. That alone will save shots during a round.

Lastly, custom fitting is often free of charge. But it is usually on the condition that you buy some clubs once you've been fitted. So it really depends on what your budget is. If you're prepared to buy a new set of clubs it's definitely worth getting fitted.

Classic Rock Cares - Whole Lotta Rosie

Here is Whole Lotta Rosie from the show I went to July 3 in Clearwater, FL. Brian Johnson sounds great, and he sounded great all through the show.

Brian Johnson/Cliff Williams of AC/DC From Classic Rock Cares

I'll upload more later.

Brian Johnson/Cliff Williams Pictures

Okay, I'm not a photographer, lets get that straight. I took a bunch of pictures and here a few of them. I had a great seat, and the pictures really do not show that. I'll upload more as I go through them.

Classic Rock Cares

The Classic Rock Cares show last night was great. It ran for just under 3 hours.

To give you and idea about the fans, most were wearing concert shirts, and 99% were AC/DC shirts, in all age groups.

I was just there to see Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams, so I did not see much of Eddie Money or Robin Zander. I did see Joe Lynn Turner, he was pretty good. I did catch Zander's final 2 songs, and from what I saw he was good.

Then Brian and Cliff came out on stage, and the place erupted, and this is when I did not sit again until I got to my car. Brian was his usual funny self, sounded great, and Cliff was solid as usual holding down the beat. Seeing how there was only one guitarist, and AC/DC obviously have 2, Cliff filled in the rythym part nicely with his bass. Scotti Hill of Skid Row did come out to play lead on Whole Lotta Rosie.

Greg Billings from the local Greg Billings Band came out and joined Brian in a Wilson Pickett song, and Jon Gruden of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out and sang Dirty Deeds and Highway to Hell.

The set list, in no order...

Thunderstruck
TnT
Dirty deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Rock n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
For Those About to Rock
Whole Lotta Rosie
Given' the Dog a Bone
Hells Bells
A Wilson Pickett song (sorry, can't remember)
Chain Gang On The Road (new song)
Another new song
You Shook Me All Night Long
Highway to Hell

Highway to Hell was the finale and everyone came out. Brian got a kid from the audience and put him on his shoulders and ran around the stage, like he does with Angus. The crowd, myself included, was going nuts.

It was a great night, and though it was strange not seeing Angus, Malcolm and Phil there, it was a great concert. If the show comes near you, go and see it.

AC/DC Videos

AC/DC are my favorite band so I thought I would share a few live videos. Enjoy!

Pay per Click Advertising

Advertising your services or products on the Internet is
both extremely effective and extremely competitive. There
are several ways to go about attracting traffic to your
website; Pay-Per-Click is one of the options you can choose
from, along with developing an SEO, or search engine
optimization campaign. Both pay-per-click and SEO are
targeted to get your website placed as close to the top of
search engine results as possible. One of the differences
is that it takes minutes to set up a pay-per-click campaign
versus months for a good SEO campaign.

Pay-Per-Click is a simple type of paid advertising that
most search engines, including some of the largest ones,
now offer. It requires a bid for a "per-click" basis, which
translates to your company paying the bid amount every time
the search engine directs a visitor to your site. There is
the added bonus that when a per-click site sends your
website traffic, your site often appears in the results of
other prevalent search engines.

As with all marketing campaigns, there are advantages and
disadvantages. If you understand the process and monitor
your pay-per-click campaign frequently, it can be very
effective. One of the greatest advantages is that you never
have to tweak your web pages to change your position in
search engine results, as you must do in a typical SEO
campaign. What you do have to do in a pay-per-click
campaign is pay a fee.

Another advantage is the simplicity of the pay-per-click
process. You just bid and you're up and running. It doesn't
demand any specific technical knowledge, though the more
you know about search engines and keywords, the easier -
and more effective - the process will be.

The downside is that pay-per-click is essentially a bidding
war. A higher bid than yours will lower your position on
search engine results. This means that you will have to
raise your bid to regain your position - which can
obviously become quite expensive, especially if you are
bidding on a popular keyword.

In order to determine if pay-per-click is a cost effective
form of marketing for your business, you must do some
computing to figure out how much each visitor to your site
is worth. You can compute this value by dividing the profit
you make on your website over a given period of time by the
total number of visitors for that same time period. For
example, if your site made $5,000 in profits and there were
2,5000 hits, each visitor would be theoretically worth 50
cents. The basic formula is profits divided by visitors.

The figure of 50 cents per visitor is the point at which
your business breaks even. The idea, of course, is to show
a profit, not to merely cover your costs. Therefore, you
are aiming at a figure less than 50 cents per click.

Be aware that the most popular keywords often cost
considerably more than 50 cents a click. The only way
around this is to bid less for these phrases or you will be
paying too much for each individual hit.

The key (pun intended) to success is to learn everything
you can about search engine keyword research. The good news
is there isn't a limit to the amount of keywords you can
add to your bid because additional keywords do not add
additional cost. This translates into a lot less hassle for
you because there is no need to optimize your site to index
a particular set of keywords.

Obviously, some keywords are much more effective than
others are, but they will not cost you anything except time
to set-up your account in your pay-per-click bid. Of the
popular search engines that offer pay-per-click, one called
Overture provides an online tool that will give you the
data on how often particular keywords are entered into
their search engine. They also offer suggestions for
keywords after you enter a description of your site.

Need a Good Web Host?

People say you can make money without a website, but I would rather have one, because then the possibilities are endless

I tried a couple of different web hosts and was not happy with either one, and one of them is very popular. By chance I stumbled upon Cirtex hosting. I signed up for the Standard plan, $4.99 a month, and after 2 weeks I'm very happy with them. I get tons of storage, bandwith, 999 subdomains, 25 MySql connections, cPanel, hosted on Linux, free templates, Fantastico, and too much other stuff to list. I upgraded to a dedicated IP for $3.99 a month. They also have a affiliate program.

I highly suggest you check them out.
