Do you know the most common exercise goals people have is to get a flatter stomach and flatten lower abs if possible, achieve some sort of a “six pack abs” appearance to their midsection. Unfortunately, most people struggle for years without ever achieving this goal.

Many people waste so much of there time on worthless abs workouts, and falling for every gimmick product that comes onto their TV screen promising them a   in only 2 minutes a day while sitting on their couch.

To be honest, people waste their hard earned money on all of these worthless ab gadgets, machines, and bogus fat loss pills that do not work.

The truth is that people are searching in the wrong direction to achieve this goal… abs exercises are NOT the answer to six pack abs! Sounds counterintuitive I know. In fact, ab-specific exercises are the LEAST crucial training aspect in getting a six pack.

Callaway Wedge Assessment

2010 May 20
by The Old Crock

Tend not to make any error about this: Phil Mickelson’s determination to put two decade-old Ping Eyesight a couple of wedges into his bag this week on the Farmers Insurance Open has nothing to complete with effectiveness. Naturally, despite the form and sharpness on the Ping Eye 2’s original grooves, there is certainly no evidence that suggests that callaway wedge review worn by two decades plus of use and wear can provide any far more spin and manage than wedges that conform with 2010 groove regulations. With little to no evidence that employing the callaway wedge review would present some kind of edge, why would another person like Mickelson tinker with his tools mix? In reality, Mickelson even acknowledged that he just isn’t sure of the permanence of his selection or even the Ping Vision 2’s usefulness. “Theres a good possibility Ill switch back, but not with the explanation that I experience like Ive been accomplishing some thing completely wrong,” Mickelson explained. “I think that any player making use of these clubs which are approved beneath the rules of golf are very good.” Considering that Mickelson is quite aware in the apparatus in his bag, he wouldn’t make such a determination lightly. No, the wedges in Mickelson’s tote weren’t made to help him perform superior. They were being built to trigger the controversy he’s now embroiled in with players like Scott McCarron, Robert Allenby, and others either expressly or coyly calling Mickelson a cheater. It is just a modest selling price for Mickelson and his sponsor Callaway Golf to shell out in order to try and embarrass the USGA.

With small to no proof that employing the callaway wedge review would present some kind of advantage, why would somebody like Mickelson tinker with his gear mix? In truth, Mickelson even acknowledged that he will not be sure of the permanence of his decision or the Ping Vision 2’s usefulness.

Golf Club Clones – What You Need to Know

2010 February 7

Are you curious about golf club cones and how they might help your game? So many myths exist about this topic; this is the truth. Can you tell me about the term golf club clone? Do you know that there are special Kids Golf Club Sets clones available as well? The clone is legitimate contrary to your first reaction to such a golf club. Additionally, this is not the same as a cheap knockoff club produced in some warehouses. A club clone, on the contrary, is designed to look similar and has similar features to many top-brand clubs on the market.

Golf club clones are made and designed by trustworthy businesses that offer their own brand. Additionally, there are no infringements on any trademarks or patents. These clubs are made with the same quality and features as the top brand names with the major difference that they can be bought at a fraction of the price.

You may wonder why they are so inexpensive. Several items need to be considered. First, let us state the obvious. If you purchase a top brand name club, you are buying exactly that, the name. The highest brands are certain that the price they ask for are what their customers will pay because they have acquired their customer’s respect about their products. One other consideration is the material. Most people are aware that China is the world leader in resource capital. When making the golf club clones they use similar materials to the top brand golf clubs which are made in China. Many of the top manufacturers of golf equipment have large expenses for running their business that results in the customer paying a higher price for their products. Not like China, labor is a lot more inexpensive, materials are simply sourced and even business and exportation comes inexpensive.

Look around on the web for the clubs you want. There’s a plethora of sites offering them at really reasonable costs. The best way to determine whether or not the products are from a company with a good reputation, as well as, a track record for producing quality merchandise, it is best to look at the seller’s feedback. The opinions and ratings of other purchasers can also be viewed. Without breaking the bank it is a good idea to get the golf club clones.

Happy Australia Day! Used Golf Clubs Anyone?

2010 January 26
by The Old Crock

It doesn’t matter where you live or whether you’re Australian or not I’d like to wish all a great golfing day on our national day.

Here in Newcastle Australia we’re enjoying a hot summers day of 30c+ but our friends up north are chipping their golf balls a bit differently, out of ice & snow! We are thinking of you…

Just thought I’d share a bit of Newcastle, Australia off the golf course. If you have any used golf clubs and can’t be bothered getting out onto the golf course…

I’d be very weary of buying used golf clubs from these dudes!

2010 Groove Regulations – Are the Grooves on Your Wedges Legal Or Do You Need to Buy New Wedges Now?

2010 January 24
by The Old Crock

By now you will have heard (or have you?) about the change in the rules98yo golfer1 governing the grooves in golf clubs that comes into effect on 1st January 2010. Do you know how these rules will affect you and your golf equipment?

The R & A and USGA carried out extensive research on grooves based on what was happening on tour. The new V groove configuration was resulting in golfers generating the same amount of spin from the rough as they were from the fairway! This was effectively diminishing the penalty of being in the rough.

In order to reward straight shots and make life more difficult if you missed a fairway or green and had to play from the rough the R & A and USGA are now going to limit groove volume and edge sharpness on all clubs excepting drivers and putters with lofts greater than or equal to 25 deg. As a general rule this translates to applying to your 5 iron to wedges. All the existing limitations on grooves and face texture will remain.

The new rules apply to new models of clubs made on or after 1st January 2010. Existing models as of that date will still be allowed to be manufactured until end 2010.

Why the Golf Cart?

2009 December 9
by The Old Crock

While many people think that golf isn’t really golf unless you walk the course, the actuality is that some people just can’t do that.  This is where the golf cart comes in handy.  I personally walk, but many a friend won’t play golf without the advantage of a golf cart and with the new golf carts that are out today, they really can make golf a little more delightful. 

Besides not having to haul your golf bag around with you, the golf cart can also helps you to avoid fatigue and carries the cooler of snacks, soda, or lager, if that’s what you like to do when your out on the course golfing.  You may get a good rest on a warm day when you use a golf cart to navigate the course. 

There are 3 large golf cart manufacturers that rule the golf cart market : Yamaha, EZ Go., and Club Car. 

Some golf carts are powered with little gas engines while others are electrically powered.  The electric golf carts were the 1st heavily produced electrical automobiles for private consumer use.  Modern golf carts might have car-like styling despite being no bigger than a normal golf cart.  Accessories such as audio entertainment systems, custom wheels, and custom body panels in a variety of colours are being offered as selections for the personal golf cart

Golf carts are not just used on the golf courses.  Some small communities or neighborhoods will use a golf cart because of their lack of pollutants, absence of noise, and safety for pedestrians and other autos are beneficial.  While purpose-built for general transportation, these are called Neighborhood electric Vehicles and they have diverse operating limitations like top speed and heavy regulation on street use.  They do resemble normal golf carts in style, but some are enclosed to accommodate for use in every kind of weather.
