Acer XDS Insider Titanium Driver - Clubhead $59.95 What does every golfer expect when they put a shiny new driver in play? More distance! But the USGA has been putting all sorts of rules and restrictions on club head designs to prevent that very situation from occurring. This is why designers have to be more creative in designing clubs to that will truly enhance their customers’ game. One method is to design clubs around the way average golfers swing, rather than creating perfect clubs and expecting golfers to swing that way. In that respect, there is still quite a bit room for improvement. One of the most common tendencies is when a golfer comes over the top and makes an outside-in move. This is evident by most shots off the tee resulting into a push, fade or the dreaded slice. A Golf Digest article “Add 42 Yards Now” explained that if you were able to change to more of an inside-out movement a golfer who swung 95 mph could gain as much as 42 yards. Of course, this would require a huge change in how the person swings the club and let’s face it most golfers are not going to be able to put in that time and effort. But through creating design features in the club head, the golfer can be encouraged to make more of an inside path. This is how the Acer XDS Insider got its name. The profile of the head as well as the contour on the crown was specifically designed to create a mental picture of swinging from the inside. This will encourage one to swing the driver on an inside-out swing path instead of that dreaded distance robbing over-the-top move. The XDS Insider also helps you in two other ways. By adding internal weighting within the head in the heel area, this creates draw spin on center shots. The other method in creating a “draw bias” is the unique asymmetrical sole. More weight is shifted toward the heel in order to assist in rotating the head and squaring the face at impact. The face angle is a little more closed than normal to provide some additional corrective measures. In many cases when a golfer sees a closed club face they are not even aware they are manipulating the club face or their stance open and essentially negating the potential benefit of the clubface being closed. The Acer XDS Insider’s addressed this problem as the face angle is cleverly disguised by the masking on the crown to provide a “square” appearance so they can just trust their natural swing. Lastly, the Acer XDS Insider also boasts a variable face thickness, cup face design to make the entire club face become one gigantic sweet spot and ensure that you get all the distance possible.

Are Biomechanics of Golf Swing Any Use To Amateurs?

You may think that the biomechanics of golf swing are only of any interest to the professionals - too technical for the amateur or one time per week golfer. However, if you think like that, it may explain why you could sometimes spend most of your round in the sand or trees!

Yes, of course the professionals need to understand the way the body works when it swings the club, which is what biomechanics is all about. However, it is just as important for the fun golfer. You may be surprised to find that a few subtle changes can take strokes off your round on a permanent basis.

Although there are certain basic principles, the swing is individual to the person. To prove this you only have to look at all the different types of swing on display by the players at major championships. If you follow championships for any length of time you will also know about the top players who have changed their swing due to loss of form or an injury. This means you need to find the swing that works best for your own body, and anyone teaching you needs to know this too.

Swinging a club in the hand with a need for accuracy is a natural move for the body, going back to our hunting days. However, hunting was a matter of throwing the club itself, not hitting a small ball on the ground. Therefore arriving at the correct golf swing necessary to get enough speed on the club when it hits the ball, means you will be twisting your body in a way which actually is NOT that natural.

This is why the swing needs to be broken down and studied in terms of biomechanics to foster consistency. The best way to do this is to watch a video recording of your own swing along with a coach or experienced golfing friend who can make suggestions.

In the past, the swing used to focus on the rotation of the hips to get the speed into the club, but in the modern game it is the twisting of the upper body which generates the speed, and the hips almost follow along because they have to.

Once your body is tuned in to keeping your spine and the club shaft at a 90 degree angle, you will find you can then get more consistent with the end result as the club face hits the ball.

Combine that consistency of angle with a correct twisting motion to generate the speed, and you will end up much less in the sand and trees, and much more on the fairway and greens!

So to sum up, remember that the biomechanics of golf swing are vital to your game, and considering this aspect is a first step if you are planning on improving your game.
