The Basics of Buying Ladies Golf Clubs - Part 1

Ladies are at a disadvantage when it comes to putting together a set of golf clubs that fits them well and from which they can get the most out of their games. The reason is that there are few choices in normal off-the-shelf ladies golf clubs. With typically less than 10% of sales for a golf club company coming from ladies golf clubs, there are simply few choices in club styles, shaft flex, swing weights, or lofts normally available in most golf shops. An exception to this is the excellent line offered by Nancy Lopez golf Clubs. That is the subject of another article, but you can easily find their web site with a simple search.

In general women have slower swing speeds than men and need shorter clubs and higher loft. There are of course women with better and stronger swings than most men. Lorena Ochoa of the LPGA tour averages about 270 yards on her tee shots. This is astonishing for a woman who weighs about 115 pounds! She is the top rated professional woman player in the world, however, and this article is meant for women with less ability than the top LPGA pros possess.

Driver Considerations

You must know your swing speed with at least a driver and preferably with both driver and 5 iron. Women who can swing the driver more than 70 MPH can use titanium faced drivers effectively and take advantage of the spring effect off the face that such a club offers. If your driver swing speed is more like 60 MPH, you would have to find a special titanium face, and these are not readily available. If you are that serious you will probably be having custom ladies golf clubs made by a certified fitter and club maker. So in that case ask your club maker if he or she can offer options. As for club face loft, the slower your swing, the higher the loft is needed. If you can easily get the ball in the air, a loft of 13-14 degrees should work well for your driver. If you have trouble getting the ball in the air, you may need to use a 16 degree 3 wood to get the most out of your swing. Other ways to help get the ball a bit higher in the air are to use an offset hosel or a more flexible shaft.

Fairway woods

Fairway woods are critical clubs for women or men with slower golf swings. If your swing speed is in the 60MPH range, you should start your fairway woods with a 5 wood and leave out the 3 wood. Your other woods would then probably need to be a 9 and 13 wood. The reason for skipping an odd numbered wood is because you wont be hitting the ball that much farther with a 5 wood than you will with a 7 wood, for example. In other words the gap in distance between the two clubs is not enough to justify carrying the other club. Regarding club length, there should be at least a one inch difference for each odd numbered club. That is, the 7 wood should be one inch shorter than the 5 wood, and the 9 wood should be 2 inches shorter than the 5 wood, for example.

For women who swing 70 MPH or greater, a 3 wood could be a good choice, but it should have at least a 16 degree loft in order to keep the ball in the air longer. This group of golfers can justify having every other odd number wood in their bags, such as 3, 5, 7 and 9 woods, for example.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 - PlayStation 3 Review

The notorious Tom Clancys ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 finally makes its way to PlayStation 3 owners. The game is more than an abysmal port from the xbox 360 (ala FEAR). Tom Clancys ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 on the PlayStation 3 is virtually identical to the xbox 360 version. In Tom Clancys ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, players reprise their role as Scott Mitchell (leader of the Ghosts).

The storyline in the game is regarding Mexico and nuclear weapons. The protagonist (Scott Mitchell) and his squad is sent to Mexico to neutralize the terrorist threat. The gameplay ranges from the much maligned escort mission to the more engrossing eradicating your adversaries mission. All of the tasks from the xbox 360 game like taking cover, and exploiting the Mule drone remains intact in the PlayStation 3 game. The six axis controller gives players the ability to dodge, dive, and execute evasive maneuvers instantaneously.

This is particularly useful when you are trying to shoot, give orders to your teammates, and move simultaneously.The six axis controller was implemented perfectly in Tom Clancys ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. This is definitely a welcome addition to the somewhat cumbersome controller of the xbox 360. There are some more multiplayer maps that are available as well. Graphically, the PlayStation 3 and the xbox 360 adaptations of Tom Clancys ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 are clones. There is no decrease in the frame rate on the PlayStation 3; the game runs at a nice and smooth frame rate throughout the duration of the game. The audio holds up nicely on the PlayStation 3.

radio chatter will make gamers feel like they are in a war zone. Overall, Tom Clancys ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is merely a mild improvement on the PlayStation 3 than on the xbox 360 due to the controls and multiplayer.

Xbox 360 3 Red Lights - Read This For More Info On An Xbox 360 3 Red Lights Fix

I have written this article to provide people with more information about the xbox 360 3 Red Lights error and provide you with some reasons as to why this error occurs.

Firstly there has been loads of these xbox 360 3 Red Lights Errors and some sources even claim that 3-5% of 360's will encounter this error! You can tell if you have the xbox 360 3 Red Lights error by the lights flashing on the xbox when you start up the system.

There are also different combinations of red lights and they all mean different things, but if you are lucky enough to have the xbox 360 3 Red Lights it means General hardware Error!

So in other words it is time to send the Xbox 360 in for repair but before you do here is a couple of reasons that the xbox 360 3 Red Lights error occurs.

The first reason could be due to overheating and if you keep your xbox 360 in a display cabinet with the door shut this is not a good idea as the system can get no air and it could lead to the xbox 360 3 Red Lights error or damage to the machine.

Another reason speculated could be down to the power brick with the xbox 360 and not the core system itself. Make sure you keep the power brick up off the floor as this is meant to help increase airflow to the machine as well.

Unfortunately the above are just speculations but they are definitely worth a go before you send in your system for repair.

I have also seen another reason for this happening and it seems most plausible, it is something to do with the soldering joints coming loose on the motherboard and over heating and thus causing the xbox 360 3 Red Lights.

I hope this article has helped show you what may cause the xbox 360 3 Red Lights and if the above tips fail then you could send in the machine for repair!
