"A revolutionary breakthrough in golf club technology." These claims are often made when a new golf club hits the market. Golf companies, through new technology can make the clubface harder which results in longer shots. Although the clubface is an important part of the golf club, the shaft is equally important. New clubs have lightweight, graphite shafts, which lower the center of gravity therefore making the clubhead speed faster at impact. Again, the outcome is a longer golf shot. Long shots aren't always the answer to improving a golf score, but the accuracy. Offset and weighted clubheads are becoming more popular. They reduce sidespin, which cause slices and hooks which, in turn, affect the score drastically.
             Callaway Golf has built a new club that has shattered the competition in which golf companies have participated in for hundreds of years. They have engineered a golf club, which achieves long distance shots with minimal effort. They take titanium fragments and mould them into a clubhead design by force. This compresses the metal and when a ball is struck, it creates an elastic effect which gives the ball extra flight. The club has received varying reviews from five stars to one. This is because it sacrifices accuracy for distance. A beginner or even intermediate golfer who strikes shots with sidespin will have a hard time hitting accurate shots because the club will exaggerate the action to the side. Even so, this club will improve distance and therefore get a golfer from tee to green faster and in less shots, thus lowering the score.
             A good golf shaft is imperative for an effective golf club. Most golf clubs now are made with lightweight graphite to increase swing speed and so that golf club manufacturers can extend the shaft longer. Both of these result in a longer golf shot. A new material has been introduced to the golf world in the past few years, this is called Ultralite Graphite. Ultralite shafts have bee...
