Ping G5 Fairway Woods In Stock Now


The G5 Fairway 3 wood is now in stock at Golf Traders....a little about the club....upon its introduction. With large, forgiving stainless steel heads and a high-strength 455 steel face, golfers found the rare combination of distance and accuracy in the five-club series. Adding to its reputation for performance is its rocker sole design that helps ensure square face impact from a variety of lies.

Like all PING metal woods, the G5 Fairway Woods have robotically welded, precision-milled faces for increased performance, including higher ball speed for greater distance, better sound, and a "hotter" feel.

This is a great club. They won't last long. To order, contact us today on 9310 1981

The Importance of Putting

The Importance of Putting
Putting putting in perspective
by Mark Blakemore, PGA Professional

Consider par: the evaluation of how many strokes a highly-skilled player would take to get the ball in the hole to have an excellent score. It's based on the length of the hole plus two putts -- always two putts. If there are 18 holes on a golf course and each green is worth two putts that means that par for putting is 36. The majority of 18-hole golf courses are par 72. That means that half of par is putting. That's an interesting way to look at it.

Here's another interesting way to look at it. Consider the best golfers in the world: touring professionals. If the average number of greens in regulation for touring professionals as a group is approximately 12, that means that they are missing approximately one-third of the greens. But the average score for touring professionals as a group is very near par (perhaps even slightly under par, depending on which particular group you look at). The most blatantly telling statistic is putts per round, and the average number for touring professionals as a group is less than 30. That's how the average score gets back in the vicinity of par even with all those missed greens.

So the importance of putting cannot be overemphasized. Acknowledging that touring professionals play, practice and work on their games pretty much day in and day out, and realizing the complexity of the full swing and the general lack of control over the outcome of longer shots, do you think that your best chance of lowering your score, given the amount of time you have to practice, is with the long game or with the short game? Since the best players in the world can only manage a two-thirds success rate at hitting the greens the answer is fairly clear. Your best chance of lowering your score lies with the short game, beginning with putting in particular.

There is good news about focusing on your putting and short game: skill development and the reward of lower scores can happen much more quickly than with the full swing and the long game. And once you combine putting with chipping, and then pitching, and then greenside bunker play and the rest of the short game, the effect on your score should be substantial.

Start keeping track of how many putts you have on every hole and total them at the end of the round. Keep a running history of your putts per round. Also start doing everything you can do to improve your putting and your short game.

Finally, you need to make sure you have a putter thats right for you, and most of all, that you have confidence with. At Golf Traders, we have an excellent selection of putters including Ping and Scotty Cameron's. We also do putter refurbishing. Contact us today about a better putter.

Purchasing Used Vs New Golf Clubs


Take a moment to consider the following two scenarios for purchasing Used vs New Golf Clubs. In both scenarios, the golfer has a budget of $1500. The scenario is that the golfer wants custom fit clubs by a leading brand, and he has $1500 to spend.

Golfer A (New Clubs): Golfer A goes into a large golf retailer having a sale and manages to get a special on a set of leading brand clubs for $1200. For his money, he gets 8 irons, 3 iron to pitching wedge, and luckily gets measured so they're custom fit to 3 degrees flat. The golfer has almost reached his budget but manages to get a special on a new leading brand putter for $300. He must now continue using his current driver, 3 wood, and desperately needs a hybrid and updated wedges. Hopefully in 12 months the golfer will be able to rustle up another $1200 for a new driver, hybrid, putter, and maybe have enough for new wedges, if not, the wedges will have to wait until the year after that.

The golfer now has a spanking new set of new irons but is having problems with his golf swing... paying money for lessons is just not in the budget. He scavanges around on youtube trying to get swing tips that are way too general and becomes disillusioned with his swing. Meanwhile, his putting stroke is questionable. Two months later he injures his back, a combination of stiff joints and poor technique. Money for physio, let alone the money to consult with a golf exercise trainer is just not in the budget. He stops playing due to injury and the shiny new clubs get placed in the closet. The golfer saves his money for physio and hopes to be able to sort out the injury and return to playing within 3months. Unfortunately, the physio money is going to have to come out of the friday night beer fund. In the meantime, the closest thing he gets to golf is watching it on t.v. Sound like anyone you know?

Golfer B (Used Clubs): Golfer B accepts a facebook page suggestion for Golftraders and keeps a look out on the posts for Ping Clubs. Within 2 weeks, a post pops up on his facebook advising that Golftraders have just received a set of Ping Eye 2's (Orange Dot, 3 degrees flat) new shafts, new grips 4 iron to sand wedge, all for $599. He sends Golftraders a facebook message and discovers that he can also buy 17 degree Mizuno hybrid with graphite for $149, and a Taylor Made rescue mid 22 degrees with graphite for $89, a King Cobra 3 metal with graphite, excellent condition for $149, Ping Tour 60 degree wedge for $99, and a Nike ignite putter for $99 in superb condition.

The golfer calls up a golf pro and books 3 lessons at $50 each, along with a golf exercise screening for $110 and one training session for $50. He has updated equipment, exercises to improve his joint mobility and is pumped for the season ahead. With 3 golf lessons booked he'll be sure to be swinging well in no time at all. Total cost = $1494. He spends the remaining $6 on a foreign brand beer celebrating what great decisions he's just made. Within 6 weeks the golfer shoots 45 stableford points and shaves 3 strokes off his handicap. He's taking cash off his playing partners week in week out and keeps telling them, do what I did 'Go to Golftraders for your golf equipment.'

Note -- all of the clubs and prices mentioned in the Golfer B example are currently available for purchase from Golftraders.
