News & Tips from the Custom Club and Repair Shop
By Bob Hartmann, Man O' War Golf Custom Club and Repair Specialist
June brings some great golfing weather. To insure you get the most enjoyment out of your game consider the following:
Check Your Grips - Recent studies have shown that badly worn grips can cost you as much as seven shots per round. Even grips with normal wear can add four shots to your round. Mention this newsletter to our front desk staff and get a 10% discount on any regripping.
Benefits of New Golf Ball Technology - New ball technology design incorporates low spin off the driver and high spin off the scoring irons. However, this new technology may be robbing you of distance off of the tee. Studies this year of PGA Tour players have shown that the top 70 money-winners hit the ball with a much higher trajectory and less spin than those in the lower 70 of the study. The study concluded that those adopting the latest technology (high launch/low spin) not only hit the ball further but also straighter. Perhaps it's time you had your driver checked for optimal performance. Ask us about a quick fit on the launch monity, or better yet, a full driver fitting to identify the absolute best driver configuration for your game.
The Highest Quality Clubs Around - Man O' War Golf carries the highest quality clubs found anywhere and not just the usual name brands like Titleist, Ping, Mizuno, and Cobra. We also offer the finest custom fitting components available. For example, Miura irons are considered the finest forged irons in the country. Although expensive, you get what you pay for with full custom fitting to insure optimum performance. We also have other brands that compare favorably to anything you'll find elsewhere. So, the next time you're at Man O' War Golf ask about our fitting studio and professionally fit custom clubs.

Get Fit For Golf
By Heather Kraus, Titleist Performance Institute (T.P.I.) Certified Golf Fitness Instructor
ARE YOU FIT FOR GOLF? Most golfers have not asked themselves this question. Even for those that have, they are surprised to hear the answer is "no"! A player's lack of stability and balance or limited mobility will in most cases result in golf swing flaws. Proper physical conditioning for golf is an equally important part of player development. Including golf specific exercise as part of your practice and training ritual will help you become a better, more consistent player. For a casual golfer, exercising as little as five minutes a day can result in drastic swing improvements. Having the proper golf fitness evaluation and exercise prescription could be the kick-start your game needs this summer.
Call Heather or Tennye, T.P.I. Certified Golf Fitness Instructors at 859-259-GOLF to schedule your golf fitness evaluation.
Short-Game Practice
By Larry Ward, Man O' War Golf Head PGA Professional
When practicing your short-game, break your practice routine into three segments. The separate segments should be of equal time and equal amounts of effort. The first segment of practice should be spent on technique. Segment two should be spent simulating course situations. The final segment of practice should be devoted to distance control or hitting to a target. Just like a pre-shot routine, your practice routine should be planned. Get with your Man O' War Golf instructor to plan out your short-game practice.
