stouffville suntribune saturday april 14 2007 11 sai smart simple concept means its hip to be square on golf course this year they say practice makes perfect but nothing says we cant turn to technology to help us get that muchneeded edge over the competition todays composite hockey sticks provide players with lethal shots swimmers are using full body suits that provide more buoyancy in the pool even the string used in bad minton rackets is now made from the same material as surgi cal sutures giving it superior strength and accuracy while hockey might get the most attention when it comes to equipment development golf is no different in fact many con sider the leaps and bounds of sports technology over the last few years to be led by golf one of the worlds most popular games golf has definitely seen some consid erable advances in both club and ball design says barry wallis onstaff golf professional for callaway golf canada all sports advance their technology but i think the last two years have seen some significant change in materials and design for golf equipment one club that has seen the greatest change is the average players favourite and often most frus- trating club to pull out of the bag the driver everyone loves to reach for the driver stand on the tee and let it fly but the driv er is one of the most difficult clubs to hit and often the out come is much more homer simpson and less phil mickel- son than we would like that however is chang ing thanks to the latest advancement in driver design the once unimaginable square- shaped head callaway golf has been working on the fti driver for the past five years thinking outside the box in order to come up with a boxlike shape the concept is both smart and simple push the weight further away from the clubface toward the back corners of the square head and although the shape is generally square the design does not contain any straight edges or corners encouraging a greater moment of inertia and discouraging the twisting of the head on impact the result is two words golfers always like to hear on the course straighter and far ther and the biggest winner in all this says wallis is the average golfer technology helps the typical high handicapper first he says pros already get the most out of their equipment while beginners dont need the latest and greatest they just need to practice however those who get in 1520 rounds a year can definitely benefit from products like the fti driver not to worry says wallis of course there are always going to be people in and around the game that want to hold back technology but if we used that thinking 75 years ago where would we be today technology gives us options in how we play the game ifs up to each individual to decide what he or she wants to use when they step up to the tee no while many golfers and fans of the game are quick to embrace change some of the games purists may be concerned these changes will take away from the origins of the game replacing the traditional thinking about distance and direction with a grip-it-and- ripit goforthegreen mentality henry brunton stribus coflchlnc f 0 sf siaiiscuikrs presents cn future links junior golf clinics and camps at bushwood golf club for more information visit our website wwwhenrybruntoncom or contact jon roy at 4169196825 or jonroyhenrybruntoncom s mtittmk selection il usmlosfeaif ballantrae golf 61 1 the masters somh stouffville on 9056406333 subject to applicable taxes availability and change without notice bennett golf cars is an authorized ezgoflolt car dealer we sell and service new and used customized golf cars and utility vehicles the remington group inc is proud to present another prestigious jewel amongst its luxury destination collection remington parkview gbif and gptintry gju tj alwtitmeemiafif view carts and a complete line of accessories in our large showroom play shop live with remington you can settle for everything bennett bennerr golf cars monfri 8am5pm sat 9am2pm 4 paisley lane stouffville 18665522787 wwwbennettgolfcarsca wml remington counf call to book your tee time today 4162932833 monday to friday 4500 saturday and sunday 5500 2 18 hole courses golf tournaments frequent golfer program golf dine nights long weekend 2 for 1 specials 200 seat banquet facility non golf corporate events
