Product Review: Smoothy Classic MK11

Over the years many golfers have incurred back injuries whilst playing. Have you thought that this may be something to do with the type of buggy they have been pushing around the golf course? The flagship of the Smoothy buggy range is Australia's No 1 Selling in Buggy in Golf, the award winning Smoothy Classic.

The 13" diameter rear wheels and 10" diameter front wheel makes for easier rolling with more speed. When folded down with all three wheels removed it takes up a mere 79 x 44 x 31 cm which is minute considering the features available on this hi - tech manual Classic MK11 suspension golf buggy. Some quality ancillary features are a score card holder with score counters, ball, tee and ball marker holders, and an easily located drink holder.

The Smoothy Classic continues to serve as the high performance standard by which all other suspension buggies are compared and measured. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is thirty percent easier to push a Smoothy suspension buggy than a conventional buggy around the golf course for 18 holes.

Available in Black and Charcoal

What's in the bag: Are you still using a 3 iron?

What is it about a shiny, new Iron that allows you to hit the ball so much further than before? Technology? No. It’s the same reason why long Irons are now almost impossible to hit with any real consistency; lofts are decreasing and shafts are getting longer.

If you have old Irons sitting in the garage at home go and take a look for yourself. You’ll find that the 5 Iron in your bag today is roughly the same loft & length as a 20 year-old 3 Iron; and – even with the extra assistance provided by modern technology - how many golfers do you know who can hit a 3-Iron with any consistency? Perhaps that explains the trend below.

One of the major reasons for the swing in the past 9 years is the ease of the hybrid, offering a higher ball flight without compromising distance, so if you are struggling with your long irons I suggest that you come in and trial our latest Hybrids.

Quick Tip: How to STOP Flubbing Chips

Make a "y" in your finish to hit crisp chips

This story is for you if...
• You never make crisp contact when you chip...
• ...and you catch these shots fat more often than you'll admit.

Check This!
When you take your normal chipping stance with your feet close together and the ball played just back of centre, notice how your shaft leans toward the target, forming a lower-case "y" with your forearms.

	Make sure the "y" exists in your address position, but don't think about keeping it intact at impact. Your goal is to make your impact position as smooth and natural as possible, without having to think about it. Instead, make sure the "y" is intact when you swing the club back (i.e., don't lose the hinge in your wrists in your takeaway) and that it's still there when you finish your swing (i.e., don't lose the hinge going forward). If you can manage to make a "y" between your forearms and club shaft before and after impact, you'll guarantee that it will be there when you strike the ball. If you have difficulty, try chipping with "dead arms," and moving your wedge back and through more with your body turn.
	...keep it intact when you make your backswing...
	And make sure that it's there in your finish. This ensures that it's there at impact so you can catch the ball crisply.
