many golfers do not have the swing speed needed for the extra stiff and stiff shafts they have on their current golf clubs. The incorrect flex of your shafts can have a dramatic affect on your game.

Lets go over the mechanics of why there are different shaft flexes, then we can get into how the shafts can affect your game differently. Golfers swing clubs at different speeds. When you swing your golf club, the speed and force of your swing gets carried through the shaft to the head. By the time the head makes contact with the golf ball, average golfers head speed is around 85 mph and professional golfers head speed is around 100 mph. hitting a golf ball at 85 mph with a driver will carry the ball about 195 yards. If you have a slower swing, the flexibility of the club can assist you by adding a whipping affect to the club just before it hits the ball. Remember your high school locker room when you would twist your towel up, swing it back, then quickly whip it forward and give your friend a huge welt on his leg? Well a flexible club gives a similar affect. Just before contact, the head of the club will give that extra kick to push the ball off the tee faster. If you are not swinging at 85 mph or more, you should be looking at a regular shaft or, if you really want more distance, you should be using a seniors club. Yes, yes I know, but if you can put your ego away for a little bit and really want to improve your game, go ahead and try the seniors shaft.

Here are the different types of shafts:

Extra stiff (X)

Stiff (S)

Regular (R)

Seniors (A)

Ladies (L)

If the shaft of your club is too stiff, your ball will most likely not go as far or as high as it should. If your shaft is too soft, your ball may fly much higher than it should and possibly keep going left when you feel you are hitting the ball straight. Pick the right shaft and watch your drives soar!

Many people have heard about greenhouse gases. Some people hear about greenhouse gases when they are in school. Others hear about it on the news, or read about in the newspaper. It is very important that people understand what greenhouse gases are and the effect that these gases have on the environment, and each of us as individuals. Here, you will find greenhouse gases explained.

Greenhouse gases occur when gases float into the atmosphere and trap heat. When the atmosphere traps heat, it reflects that heat back on the planet. There are a variety of gases that enter the atmosphere naturally. However, most of the gases that enter the atmosphere do so as a result of activities of people on Earth. Here, you will find the many gases that are released due to human activity that can be prevented and reduce the greenhouse gas issue.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide is one of the most common greenhouse gases. If a fossil fuel is burnt, such as oil and natural gas, it will release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. If a person burns trees, and other types of wood products this particular gas can be found drifting into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide that is found in the atmosphere can be removed when plants soak it into their living process. When this happens, it simply goes right back into the atmosphere.

Methane Gas

Methane gas is another type of gas that enters the atmosphere and results in damage to the environment. You can often find that methane gases are released from farming practices. This particular type of gas can also be created at places that hold waste, like landfills.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide is a type of gas that can be released in the atmosphere by many types of activities. These activities include burning various types of fuels, various types of activities in industrial parks, and when landfills decide to burn the items that are contained in it.

It is important that everyone understands that greenhouse gases are the main ingredient in the devastating effects that result from global warming. Many people are not familiar with global warming, and exactly what it means. However, global warming occurs when the gases and various toxins are trapped inside the earths atmosphere and results in warmer temperatures and extreme weather conditions.

When warmer temperatures occur, the ice around the world starts to melt. When this happens, sea levels begin to rise. This means that more water starts to cover the earth. When there is more water, and warmer temperatures, it results in more dangerous storms. We have already seen a lot of these dangerous storms in the form of hurricanes and tornadoes.

It is very important that we all do our share in order to stop the damage that is occurring to the atmosphere as a result of greenhouse gases. Discover and implement new ways to do things that are safe to our environment.
