El golf es un deporte de precisión

Golf is a precision sport

Did you know that golf involves getting a 4.3-centimeter ball into a 10.8-centimeter hole in the fewest possible strokes? It seems easy; the hole is more than twice the size of the ball. But, if we play a par 5 of 450 meters, we need to combine strength and precision.

Today we're talking about distance control with our golf clubs. In our bag, we can carry a maximum of 14 clubs, each with a different loft. When the loft is greater (wedge), the ball will have a higher flight but will travel less distance. Conversely, if we take a driver, which has less loft, we will have a much longer, but also lower, ball flight.

For an amateur golfer, the distance difference between consecutive clubs is approximately 10 meters. But here comes the big question for anyone new to golf: what distance should I hit with a 7 iron? What distance can I hit with my driver? In reality, this depends on several factors such as equipment, swing speed, and the player's physical ability.

Each person will have their own distances for their clubs. Therefore, we advise you to go to the driving range with a laser rangefinder and hit several balls with each club to measure the average distance.

A laser rangefinder is an essential tool for gaining greater precision in your shots. In addition to giving you the exact distance to the flag, or any other reference point, it can provide you with elevation data. It also helps us play much faster on the course, giving you measurements instantly and speeding up the pace of play.

Once you've done this distance measurement exercise, you'll know exactly which club to use for each shot. You'll see how you manage to save several strokes by the end of the round.

In our catalog, you can get the Revasri laser rangefinder with a range of up to 600 meters, but if you still have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us and we will try to help you as much as possible.
