left handed golf equipment

Since I am a left-handed golfer I recognize the difficulty of finding desirable golf gear. I have always had difficulty finding a left handed big bertha, left handed putter, and left handed irons. In addition to most power tools, scissors, and golf irons being created for the right-handed world, its near impossible to locate the product that you want. We live in a world that strongly favors the right-handed but at the expense of left handed people. Not that I’m bitter, and I understand the financial argument. So, as a left-handed person I have become quite used to living on a right handed globe.

Most left handed golfers, have a difficult time finding a great set of golf irons, left-handed drivers, or left-handed putters. your proximity to major golf equipment stores, your best bet is likely to order your golf clubs via a specialized website, or use Ebay. Many of the bigger sporting goods outlets carry only a very limited supply of left handed irons left handed drivers in the store,often have additional golf supplies available online.

Since most of us have a hand that we naturally favor, left handed golfers must adapt. I am always aware of left-handed golfers at the driving range and golf course, and notice a lot of the same tendencies. We slice the ball left Being aware of these tendencies in the beginning, as a left-handed golfer you can learn to make the appropriate adjustments.

After you get the golf bug and begin to learn golf using your left-hand, you’ve got to go on a mission to buy left-handed golf clubs that you really want, and sometimes that is more difficult than you can imagine because supplies at sports stores and even golf stores are limited. Although most makers produces left handed golf clubs, not all local stores carry a full supply.

In the last few years though, there has been great improvement and getting left handed irons and left handed drivers has become easier. There are several internet website that specialize in providing left-handed irons, left-handed drivers, left-handed putters, and left-handed golf gloves. Many sites can process your request as fast as next day or within a few days so you can begin practicing right away. One new and exciting place to buy left-handed golf clubs now is at auction sites. They always seem to have low prices and top manufacturers and you can save a lot of money.

Becoming an expert left-handed golf player is quite similar to golfing with your right hand. It takes practice multiple times every week in order to perfect your skills.You will have to add length.You also have to learn to pitch and chip, and how to finsh off a pressure putt. As with any skill, the work you put into your practice sessions that will make the difference in your game, whether you are a left-handed golfer or right-handed player.

You will find it beneficial to work with a left-handed golfer. This proved difficult at first and like most learners, I learned from a right-handed golf pro. Later on though I got swing refinement from a left-handed golf pro and this improved my game considerably. My left handed golf instructor was able to illustrate more about my swing from a left handed golfer’s perspective.

But good news is on the horizon. We are starting to see more left handed people in the world. Population increases have raised the number of left handed people. Surprisingly enough, more left handed people are being born these days. force golf gear makers to focus on left-handed golf clubs, and gloves for us.

Golf Clearance section launched on JJBGolf.co.uk

Normally deep discount deals don’t happen until the end of the golf season which means that you can’t get to enjoy the great bargain you have just bought.

Well I am pleased to announce a brand new clearance section on the JJBGolf.co.uk website that will be updated very regularly and will get you playing better golf this season.

The pick of the early bargains is the La Jolla Knife Wedge, a beautiful looking 60 degree wedge. The club is brand new and has an original RRP of £49.99 (ignore the £20 RRP, that is an error and will be changed shortly)

Here’s the link directly to the page:

As mentioned in previous posts, there are limited stock but if you see it is sold out, register your email address and there will be fresh stock added daily. We have around 20 of these wedges so if it shows out of stock, we will have more very soon as we move them between our warehouses. You’ll know they are sold out when you can no longer find the product on the site.

Speaking of wedge deals we also have a great deal on the F2 Wedge (Face Forward) which have been a big hit on US TV over the past 2 years. Whilst an unusual design at £19.99 these are a steal!
