GC2 Launch Monitor

Over the last few weeks, you would have read the importance of being custom fitted for your golf equipment. With this in mind, we have decided, with much thought and consideration, to invest in a GC2 launch monitor.

Unlike many other launch monitors, the GC2 can detect anything from 18 inches+. This will allow for not only the full iron & wood fit, but also the importance of different wedges and even your golf ball can be analysed. This is achieved by taking note of the impressive data the monitor collects at the time of impact. Using a laptop or tablet device, allows you to see on screen the comparison between your current equipment and other equipment trialed at the time of the fitting.

Spin rate, ball speed, launch angle, clubhead speed, ball flight, and dispersion are all recorded and can be analysed easily. A major advantage of this monitor is that it is portable, meaning if you are considering a new wedge for example, we can go down to the net in the car park and see which wedge is right for you.

Furthermore, with the GC2 you can see the difference between golf balls in terms of spin rate they achieve and even how many degrees out your putting stroke may be, which is the reason you miss those 3 footers.

As you will understand, launch monitors do not come cheap, so investing £7000 is a big decision. However, after seeing the device and understanding what it can do, the investment is definetly worthwhile. We will be keen for you to come and try it out and see for yourself how being correctly fitted can improve your game as well as seeing the results from a lesson. I am keen to hear your opinions on this, so please feel free to write to me or pop in to the shop if you want to find out more.

New grips for the 2015 season

Are your grips holding your game back?

Regardless of rounds played, a grip should always be replaced at the first sign of noticeable wear, including:

• Smooth, hard surfaces
• Cracks
• Shiny patches
• Wear spots, especially where the thumbs make contact
• Faded or bare spots on grips that have been painted or have logos
• Complete loss of tack

If you see any of these signs, pop in to the shop and have a look at the new grips that we have.
