Golf Clubs � The Golf Drivers of Tiger Woods

It is seductive to analyze the golf drivers and golf clubs Tiger Woods chooses, but you should look to your own skills and abilities before choosing your golf clubs.

Golf Drivers and Tiger Woods

It is all very well analyzing the golf swing and choice of golf clubs and golf drivers Tiger Woods uses when he swings his way to being the world's number one player. But it is important not to delude yourself that by choosing the same golf clubs Tiger uses that you will be improving your game.

Golf clubs � The shaft

Golfers prefer their shafts of their golf clubs to be stiff, which begs the question, why not make golf drivers super stiff? The answer is more about the person swinging the golf clubs than the golf drivers per sae.

Power and strength

The stronger you are dictates the type of golf clubs you need. Tiger Woods coils and uncoils his body as he swings his golf clubs and is one of the most athletic golfers in the sport. He is renowned for spending hours and hours in the gym and using weights and core strengthening exercises to increase his power and flexibility. If you are as skilled as Tiger and have such strength, you want an extremely stiff shaft on your golf drivers so that all the energy is sent directly to the ball and not absorbed in the shaft.

The right golf clubs

But that does not mean every golfer should buy extra stiff golf drivers � if you don't have the muscle of Tiger Woods than you need golf clubs with the flexibility to do some of the work for you. Flexible golf clubs will store energy at the top of the shaft. If you want to be exact about the right kind of golf clubs and golf drivers to suit your swing you should have your swing analyzed by a golf professional.

Tiger Woods Drivers

Unlike the rest of us golfing mortals, Tiger Woods uses golf drivers that are on average an inch shorter than other professionals � around 43 or 43 ½ inches.

British Open 2006

When Tiger Woods won the British Open he actually left his golf drivers and opted for 3-woods and 2-irons because of the dry conditions of the course. A lesson learnt for amateur golfers is that sometimes accuracy is better than length. Golf drivers are the hardest golf clubs to hit straight. Tiger used his golf driver only once in the entire week.

Mental Drive

Of course, as well as knowing when to choose the right golf drivers and golf clubs for the right situation, you also need to think like a champion. It may sound sentimental but Woods has said his mother gives him a new head cover for his golf drivers every year with the words: �Love from Mom' embroidered in Thai.
