The latest step in golf club design
For years, golf club designers and engineers have focused on three primary characteristics of a club. How does it look, how does it feel and how does it perform. Obviously with the wide variety of clubs on the market today, we see that some designs tried to balance each characteristic to optimize the appeal of a club, while some have completely neglected asthetics and feel for the sake of performance. Mizuno has recently implemented the process of modal analysis, to optimize the balance between these three characteristics as well as how a club SOUNDS. This has long been overlooked, but it arguably as important as anything else in terms of a player's perception of a club. Why do people not like square drivers? Certainly not because they are longer or straighter, but because they sound funny. The sound a club makes at impact obviously has a tremendous influence on one's perception of impact.
The latest design offerings from Mizuno combine the best of all four aspects of club design in various models to fit the needs of various skill levels.
Come in and try the latest in technology from Mizuno. Including the JPX 800 series, which features the thinnest iron face in golf. Thinner faces means greater distance!

Putting for Dough!
A properly fitted putter can make scoring much simpler and avoid need for complex and inconsistent compensations. Too many players spend their valuable practice time trying to develop an artificial stroke to compensate for a putter that does not fit, rather than practicing consistency in a stroke with a putter that fit what they do. For example, the u of putter length and lie angle may dictate a player’s distance from the ball. Your distance from the ball is important because it is essential to have our eyes over the line of the putt at address (our eyes are behind the ball, but over the line). This condition greatly influences our ability to aim the face and the shape of our stroke. Additionally, the lie angle of the putter must be such that the putter head sits flat on the ground at address. If the putter is not soled properly, the sweet spot of the putter is not in the center of the putter. For example, if a player has the toe of the putter of the ground, the sweet spot moves toward the heel. Obviously, now if a player makes a good stroke and hits the center of the face, the ball will behave as though it were hit off the toe. The ball starts left of the intended line and has insufficient speed. This player will then begin to compensate with both alignment and length of stroke.

It is obviously in the best interest of the amateur to utilize the square groove technology based on increased spin rates in all conditions, which produces better ball control.
Since it is important to retool before square grooves go out of production, we are offering this special to ensure that the wedges you purchase are correct for you.
Our fitting process will determine the correct lofts to fit your set, lie angles to fit your swing and bounce to match your most frequently encountered turf and sand conditions.
In addition to the fitting, we will also offer 10% off the purchase price of your new wedges, should you purchase the through the academy.
Remember, at only moderate use, wedges significantly lose effectiveness, so you may want to consider purchasing a couple of sets of wedges. Don't be the guy playing v grooves until you have to!
