Find YOUR Sweet Spot!

Where is the sweet spot on your club? Is it the same for each club? Is it under the little mark on the top of the club face? When did you look for it last?

If you do not hit your golf ball with the sweet spot of the golf clubface you do not know where your ball is going and you certainly do not know how far it is going!

Most clubs have some sort of mark on the top edge of the club face but, I find, that it is not a good indicator of exactly where the sweet spot is actually located.

To find the sweet spot, pick up the club by the grip and hold it lightly. Let it hang down from two fingers so that it can swing freely. Take a golf ball and tap the face of the club with it - gently - and feel for vibrations coming into the fingers which are holding the club.

Tap near the toe of the club. Tap near the heel of the club. Feel the strong vibrations as the club attempts to turn and twist. Then slowly move the tapping in toward the center of the club-face and notice when you feel the vibrations disappear.

THAT spot is where the sweet-spot of the club is.

Hits on the sweet-spot will feel almost effortless and you will be amazed at how far the ball flies. I test the sweet spot on my clubs at least once during the round to remind me of just where that spot is. I will sometimes mark the top edge of the club face with another mark - different from the original mark on the face placed there by the manufacturer.
