Equipment tab
Add or remove clubs from your bag, set the shaft and club type for your clubs,
and select the golf balls that you will use. You can carry a maximum of 14 clubs
including the putter.
SHAFT FLEX The distance and speed of swing of the REGULAR
shaft is between the slower SENIOR and the faster
STIFF.
A
If you tend to swing quickly, you should select a
Stiff shaft. If you swing at a slower speed, you
should select a Flex or Senior shaft. When
using TrueSwing, your swing speed is measured by the Tempo rating.
CLUB TYPE Selecting the type of clubs to use: PERIMETER
WEIGHTED, LIGHT PERIMETER WEIGHTED or
FORGED.
A
Perimeter weighted clubs have lighter penalties
for mis-hits, but fades and draws are more challenging. Forged clubs allow more intentional
bending of shots yet are less forgiving on mishits. Light Perimeter Weighted are balanced
between the other two types.
BALL TYPE Choose the type of ball to use: 2 PIECE DISTANCE,
SOLID CORE or WOUND BALATA.
A
2 Piece distance balls fly the furthest yet have
weak spin characteristics. Solid Core allows for
more spin performance. Wound Balata balls
have a shorter range yet the best possibilities
for spin.
