“The EyePort will revolutionize the way athletes train and perform” Vic Braden, Psychologist & Sports Researcher

Keep Your Eye on the Ball: Strong vision like good equipment is critical for getting to the top of your game. Your vision determines how quickly, accurately and efficiently you perform. Poor visual skills can lead to topping or slicing the golf ball, or consistently missing the tennis racquet’s “sweet spot” even though you think your aim is spot-on target.

To improve your sports performance, your visual skills not just your body must be at their peak. Athletes often don’t realize that hitting the ball at the right moment in the precise spot is more critical than hitting it with brute force.

Today’s top professional and Olympic athletes exercise their eyes as part of their daily training regimen. The EyePort is coveted by Tennis & Golf clubs, Little Leagues and players.

The Winning Edge: Aiming, Tracking, Focusing and Teaming: Whether you want to play more consistent tennis, want to shave a few strokes off your golf game or boost your bowling average, you will need to improve your eyes’ ability to aim, track, focus and team.

How It Works: Position your EyePort near the edge of a table or desk. Sit so your eyes are 24 to 30 inches from the unit. Put on the provided red-blue glasses. Press the Enter button on your EyePort, and simply allow your eyes to effortlessly move from one light to the next on the programmed EyePort. Voila! You are on your way to top visual performance - tennis, golf, baseball and more.

Improve your concentration, eliminate external distractions and stay focused on the ball. React faster, more accurately and with better balance. Your eye-hand-body coordination will become more seamless. Enhance your timing, body control and Win! More!

What Others Are Saying: “My 14-year-old son Robert also uses the EyePort as a regular part of his practice regimen. In his first year playing national tournaments, he was the point leader for the 2006 Callaway PGA Junior Tour Series and was named player of the year. As his coach, I give the EyePort 4 stars.” Bill Greenleaf, PGA Master Pro, The Dunes at Maui Lani, Maui, Hawaii.

“You can’t hit what you can’t see! I highly recommend the EyePort to give you that edge.” Jalal Leach, Ex-San Francisco Giant.

Here’s a video of how to make a toddler’s golf clubs and custom-fit to your child as junior golf clubs usually are too long for kids 12 months to 5 years old.

This will allow your child to learn golf quickly and correctly by having the “right size” set of golf clubs.

I’ve used minimal tools here to make the club but if you have power tools, that’s be great to use, especially to cut the shafts.

I bought 2 Taylor Made rescue clubs (both 19° 3) off of ebay and the regular shaft club is shorter than the stiff shaft one. Also the stiff shaft club is new, and the other used. Is a regular flex shaft supposed to be shorter then a stiff shaft?

You got "shafted"…the regular shaft has been shortened. No big deal…you can put a graphite extension…say 1/2"…$10.00. But…the shafts are supposed to be the same length.

Senior clubs are about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch longer.

Selecting the right golf club irons is a critical step in being able to play the game of golf correctly. A set of irons will make up the vast majority of clubs that you’ll carry in your bag. They are used on almost every hole on the golf course, from the shorter par threes to the longer par fives. And they will often also include clubs to help you hit out of the sand and pitch from short distances around the green.

The function of each club in the iron set is to hit the ball a certain distance depending on the loft of each individual iron. So a set of golf club irons are usually numbered from 1 - 9, and then you have a pitching wedge and a sand wedge too. The lower numbered clubs are designed for longer shots, and as the numbers go higher the loft of each club increases and therefore the distance decreases. Generally speaking, a full set of golf irons should be able to cover a distance of between 100 - 200 yards.

When choosing a new set of golf club irons, it’s a very good idea to get them custom fitted to your particular skill level and body type. Usually you can get a custom fitting at a golf pro shop or a golf equipment retail store. The fitting usually only takes about 45 minutes or so to complete and will often cost about $50, but the advantages of having a custom fitted set of golf irons is well worth the money spent at this point.

As far as the equipment itself is concerned, there are two main considerations that you have when looking at a set of golf irons. The first is the clubhead itself. Most often, clubheads come in either cavity-back or forged design. Which type of clubhead you choose will most likely depend on your current skill level at the game. The advantage of cavity-back clubheads is that the weight is distributed around the outside perimeter of the clubhead, making a much larger sweet spot for hitting the ball.This can be a great advantage for a new or high handicap golfer who doesn’t always strike the ball exactly right.

On the other hand, forged clubs are the weapon of choice for more experienced, low handicap golfers instead. The advantage of forged irons is that they are made from softer steel and therefore transmit more feel to the golfer. Of course, because the clubhead is much smaller than what you would find in a cavity-back clubhead, forged irons are much less forgiving then cavity-backed clubs are. But for better and more experienced players, forged irons give them much more control over the shape of their shots.

The second component of a set of golf irons that needs some consideration is the club shaft. Usually, there are two major choices that can be made here, having to do with the kind of material that is used for the club shaft. The choices are either steel or graphite. Generally speaking, steel shafts can be a good choice for those who have a very fast swing speed as it gives you more control. On the other hand graphite shafts can help out those who have a slower swing speed as they provide more distance.

Buying a new set of golf irons is a very important step in improving your game, so be sure to take your time and select the clubs and materials that will best fit both your skill level and the way you play the game.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING, PLEASE HELP ME!
Hi,
I decided to buy a TaylorMade R7 iron set, but I don’t know if I should go for the stiff graphite or the steel version.
I did try out graphite and steel shafts (not taylormade though) but I still can’t decide and I do NOT have a chance to try out the R7s.

I’m an 18-year old high-handicapper but long hitter… because I can really hit those balls far (on average 165 yards - 7 iron) but my handicap is high because I don’t play much on golf courses (98% driving range) and I’m not the most accurate player ever, but my accuracy isn’t that bad either. I just sometimes slice or hook, not that often though.
I’ve never had the chance to measure my swing speed/tempo, but I’d say it’s between normal and fast.
I don’t have any problems with the trajectory.

On the one hand, I really like the heavy and solid feel of steel shafts (I’m pretty strong, I don’t like those lightweight clubs) and I’d definitely prefer to have more accuracy than distance.

On the other hand, the guy on the driving range (he used to be a pro) told me to swich to graphite (I’ve been using really cheap steel irons for 5 years), but I don’t think it’s like he was watching my swing etc. I think it was more of a general opinion.
(But I’ve also read that low handicappers should use steel shafts).
I like the smaller amount of vibrations when hitting from grass (+divots), but I never have problems with my elbows using steel shafts.

What do you think I should choose?

Thanks!

Here is the short version.
If you are going to spend big bucks for clubs you can certainly buy them from someone who knows club fitting.
My simple answer would be steel irons,steel hybrids or fairway woods and a graphite driver.
Because you are young and long you probably would benefit from stiff shafts.

a sample of 100 wood and 100 graphite shaft golf clubs are taken from the warehouse. if 10 wood and 25 graphite clubs are defective and one club is randomly selected from the sample, what is the probability that the club is graphite or defective?

100/200 + 35/200 - 25/200 = 110/200 = 11/20

I have Taylor made R7 irons

Yes. Before switching to stiff shafts you should have your swing speed analyzed. Depending on that swing speed, switching to stiff shafts could work either for you or against you. Generally speaking those with swing speeds of 90 mph and over are better off with a stiff shaft. Below 9, the regular shaft would be a better choice.
