]]> Equipment tom 2007-10-04T15:58:39-08:00 Technology is great! What about my score?! http://blog.pinemeadowgolf.com/archives/2007/09/technology_is_g.html
Is it just me or has the distance changed on all the clubs?! The loft is the same and the numbering system has remained constant. But I see players hitting the 3 iron hybrids 240 yards and I am in shock at the overall distance that people get. I used to hit a 7 iron 145-150 yards straight on (well most of the time). Now it seems when I get a hold of a newer 8 or 9 iron, I'm sailing it way past the old marks. Great right? Well, for the most part.

I guess you could say that all the new technologies combined have given a golfer like me the total advantage with my distances. Ball technology, shaft technology, and of course, the club head designs themselves provide the extra advantage that just wasn't out there 10 years ago. Better technology doesn't guarantee a better game, but I can say that it has added length to my game. Length that should lower scores but there is this little thing called putting that I can't seem to get it right no matter how well my 7 iron did to get me there!! I guess the long game is getting longer but my short game hasn't gotten shorter! The technology is there, my game is just a little behind.

We fielded a host of calls out the gate, mostly from people concerned, or alarmed by the sound the Bloc driver makes out on the course. These calls have subsided as people have become more accustomed to the advantages of square drivers.

As is the case with any emerging technology, many golfers still remain on the fence. To you readers, here is a pearl of wisdom from the Pinemeadow archives, harkening back to our modest beginnings as a Portland-based provider of custom golf clubs.

Andrew is no Greg Oden on the basketball court but he does have something in common with the most recent #1 pick and newest member of the Portland Trailblazers (Pinemeadow's hometown team). Andrew can see eye-to- eye with Oden being a 7-footer himself.

In that chart, you will find the measurement of offset for every iron in that set- each of which will be different. The higher lofted clubs will have a lower number offset. For example, a three-iron in a given set may have an offset of 8 mm, while a nine-iron in the same set may have an offset of 5.5 mm.

What does this mean to you?

He fired a final round 69 when shooting even par at Augusta was considered to be a good score this year. To give you an idea of how difficult the course was playing all week. Tiger Woods didn’t break par once in any of his rounds and +1 was the winning score.

]]> tom 2007-04-11T08:42:54-08:00 What is Moment of Inertia (MOI)? http://blog.pinemeadowgolf.com/archives/2007/04/what_is_moment.html When the term "Moment of Intertia" (MOI) is used in golf, it refers to a club head's resistance to twisting at impact.

All of us wish we could hit the ball exactly perfect, right on the sweet spot, every time we swing a golf club but, let's be honest with ourselves, that is not going to happen. When your shot is hit a little off-center you will either hit it more towards the toe or heel of the club head. A golf club with a higher MOI will twist less, with the result that it will go in the direction you were hoping for without losing distance.

It is a tournament founded by Bobby Jones and revered by golfers everywhere. Looking forward to watching Tiger go for his 5th green jacket? Or will someone else crown himself as the 2007 champion…

]]> tom 2007-04-02T13:21:12-08:00 New Kid on the Bloc http://blog.pinemeadowgolf.com/archives/2007/03/new_kid_on_the.html The new BLOC Driver has arrived and it will help straighten your drives. In case you were wondering what this square driver trend is all about, the thing to consider is Moment Of Inertia (MOI). Increased MOI creates less spin, particularly sidespin, resulting in straighter drives. The square shape of the BLOC helps distribute weight as far from the center of gravity as possible, promoting solid contact and straighter overall trajectory, especially on off-center hits.

Get your hands on this club for a quarter the price of other square drivers on the market! For more info, visit PinemeadowGolf.com or call 1 800 309-6878.

Due to popular demand, we're taking pre-orders of this club, so get your order in now and we'll ship it immediately upon arrival on February 15th!

An innovative square (BLOC) design promotes straighter drives and maximum distance. By shifting the weight of the driver to the back edge of the club head, the MOI is increased resulting in unprecedented power off the tee. The BLOC Driver is like no club we've ever designed. We're eager to introduce you to the smooth plains and mirror polish of this stylish new creation. Expect to be surprised by this driver!
