Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter. In this week’s mail, we take a look at how sightlines can help you hole more putts, how choosing the right ball for your game can lead to lower scores, as well as a look at how players from both Ryder Cup teams are shaping up ahead of the tournament.

Enjoy the read.

Coaching news

Improve your game this winter

Here we have some nice backswing changes made here from Jonathan recently.

Managing to swing the club on a better plane getting his right forearm to match his back angle, this stopped his swing from been to flat, and helped prevent the club face from becoming to shut at the top of the swing.

This helped straighten up the ball flight and prevented the low hook.

Tour news

The heat is on

With the clock ticking down to the start of the Ryder Cup, all eyes are on the players who could make the difference at Le Golf National in Paris. The BMW Championship certainly gave us an insight into who’s shaping up nicely, with Keegan Bradley - who didn't make the USA Team - pipping Europe's Justin Rose to the title on the first play-off hole after both players finished on -20. It wasn't all bad news for Rose though, as finishing 2nd meant he became the world's number one golfer for the first time in his career.

The conclusion of the BMW Championship also saw Jim Furyk make his final Captain's Pick for Team USA, opting for big-hitter Tony Finau - despite Xander Schauffele's fine finish at the BMW. Finau might not win many tournaments, but he is remarkably consistent and a huge hitter, with 11 top-10 finishes in 2018. Schauffele will feel hard done by, but is certainly one to look out for next season.

Meanwhile, Europe Team Captain Thomas Bjorn may be ruing a missed opportunity to choose Matt Fitzpatrick as one of his wildcard picks, after the Englishman beat Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard in a play-off to win the Omega European Masters title in Switzerland. Fitzpatrick won the same tournament last year, and becomes the first golfer since the great Seve Ballesteros to defend the trophy – so he’s certainly following the right footsteps!

Titleist Speed Project arriving soon

As the name suggests, Titleist's new metalwoods are all about speed and distance. If you're an avid watcher of golf on TV, you may have seen some of the world's best golfers - Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott to name a few - using the new TS woods from Titleist over the past few months. Well, we're delighted to announce they'll be landing in-store this month so that you can add some distance to your game. If you want to be one of the first to try them, get in touch via the button below.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
Odyssey’s Red Ball putter features some of the most sophisticated alignment technology on the market.

The innovative Red Ball in the scope of the putter allows you to consistently get into the correct set-up position over the ball. Add Odyssey's Versa high contrast technology that helps you align the putter better, and this putter is going to be very helpful for a lot of golfers.

Something different
Alternatively, you might be a fan of Odyssey's O-Works Marxman Red putter, which is also available in a black finish.

If you have alignment issues with your putting then this model has been designed specifically for golfers like you, with a full-length alignment aid extending right to the back edge of the putter for improved performance.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

Callaway Supersoft

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. Callaway’s Supersoft ball is perfect for those of you who are looking to unlock more distance with soft feel throughout the bag. Its lower compression core aids faster speed with low spin for longer flights, meaning if you want to add extra yards to your game, this could be the ball for you.

Callaway Chrome Soft Truvis

If you prefer more spin around the greens, one ball you should definitely try is the Callaway Chrome Soft Truvis. The thin and ultra-soft urethane cover feels fantastic and generates high spin around the putting surface. Your view of the golf ball is maximised thanks to the Truvis pattern, which gives you better focus and visibility.
