AccuLength 3000 Series Junior Golf Set

AccuLength Series 3000 Junior Golf Set Accu-Length 3000 Series (4'6" to 5'6"). In a child's final stage before advancing to adult clubs, our 3000 series maintains a strong resemblance to adult sets, but with more forgiveness and ease of use. No other club on the market provides exact fitting for junior golfers, giving them the best chance to learn a proper swing. At this level, the Accu-Length 3000 series provides maximum durability and strength. Set Includes: * 3000 Series Wood * 7-Iron * Pitching Wedge * Putter * Custom Golf Bag * Custom Assembly Tools (2) * Locking Screws (4) * Spacers additional (4) The Science Behind AccuLength Golf Clubs The Accu-Length golf club system was born out of the idea that many parents don't want to buy new golf clubs for their children every year. It has been a four-year process of designing, patenting, testing and launching the Accu-Length Expandable Junior Golf Club System. The technology in the AccuLength expandable clubs is the patented shaft spacer system that allows you to add one inch of shaft length to accommodate your child's growth. The average child grows two and a half inches per year, and professionals agree that for every two inches your child grows, an inch should be added to their club. So every year, your child gets a custom fit golf club. Accu-Length golf clubs have been exhaustively tested with a maximum of four spacers, so each club is designed to be used for up to five seasons. Additionally, each club has a Â“lockÂ” at the top of the shaft that is designed to guarantee the grip will not unscrew or rotate during use. Head weight, loft and shaft flexibility are three very important elements to a quality junior golf club. Each set of Accu-Length golf clubs have been designed with proper head weights and lofts for the intended age group. As your child grows and their skills develop, the spacer system of the Accu-Length golf club actually stiffens the shaft, slowly easing the forgiveness of the club as the speed of your child's swing speed increases. With high-quality, scratch-resistant stainless steel heads, your child will enjoy years of golfing fun with clubs built just like DadÂ’s.

Golf tips: Choosing the right golf clubs on the course

by Casey Camp

I have finally found a topic that I speaks to me: golf, and all the permutations thereof. I have been playing this agonizing game since the age of 9, which may indicate some mental illness, but that is another topic that we dare not broach at this juncture.

There are no shortages of details to the old game and it seems the more one improves the more fascinating golf becomes. Paradoxically, the simpler one tries to approach this game, the better one may play too. The mental side is at least half (and some experts say even 90%)of a player's 'success' in golf. Think of it as zen practice with sticks.

In choosing the right clubs on the course one must be familiar with one's own game and know the distance he averages with each club. For me it is 2 iron: 200 yards, 3 iron: 190 yards, 4 iron: 180 yards, and so on in 10 yard increments with each club. Keep in mind that this is approximate and is wholly dependent on a variety of factors, which include wind, temperature, adrenaline, or simply how my back is feeling. More technically, and I hate this part, there is your swing speed, type of golf ball, club maker, shaft, etc. to consider.

The location of the golf course can determine the distance your ball will travel If playing at a higher altitude you will hit it significantly farther (about 10% at 6500 ft.) than at sea level. Conversely, at sea level and in more humid conditions, the ball won't fly as far. One must factor in the nature of the golf course as well. Are the fairways firm or soft? What kind of grass is prevalent? Bermuda grass is spongier than fescue and tends to limit a golf ball's roll, assuming you get it airborne. How close the fairways are cut can affect distance too.

If you've ever watched the British Open all these variables are on wonderful display. The wind is usually much more of a factor than here in the States (except Texas). The hard fairways contribute much more distance, just as the rain or cold weather can detract. When competing it is not unusual to see seasoned pros misclub by not accounting for the adrenaline coursing through their bodies. This can happen anywhere and is independent from weather variables.

Finally there is psychological element to consider when trying to determine the right club on the course. And that is the machismo factor. Hitting the longest drive is everyone's favorite goal, at least at times. Keeping up with your playing companions off the tee is not always in your best interest. Keeping the ball 'in play' is. This may necessitate hitting a club you are confident in rather than blasting away with your big headed driver. 300 yards and out of bounds isn't so great, but a 5 iron and a 8 iron and 2 putts for a par is. Keep a zen mind and keep your ego at bay until it's time to sign your scorecard.
