Burner Rescue

If I need a stiff flex and I play with a regular driver, how will it affect my game?

I have a Ping G5 driver with a regular flex and 12 degrees loft. I am not a great player (high 90s low 100s) but when I do hit the ball I have a carry distance of about 230-270 yards.

I'm 23 and I've been told that I need a stiff flex since I hit the ball well and my game will only improve. Right now I don't want to spend the money on a new driver, so how is my game going to be affected adversely and can I compensate? I tend to slice the ball when I drive; is this because of the flex?

Also I have a Taylor Made rescue mid hybrid with regular flex (it's supposed to duplicate a 4 iron but II hit a carry distance of about 180-200) and Taylor Made Supersteel burner irons with graphite regular flex.

I am selling my Taylor Made irons on ebay and buying comparably priced preowned irons with steel shafts. Should I go stiff or is the change to steel shafts enough? I hit a 7 iron about 150-155 carry distance.

If you need a stiff flex? It may not necessarily be the case that you need a stiff flex. It depends on the kind of clubhead speed you create. You can go to your local pro shop and be fitted for your clubs. If you don't want to go that route, choose the flex by how strong you are. If you're fairly strong in your upper body, then go for the stiff flex. If not, stay with the regular. At this point, all you're gonna do is hit the ball farther because of the flex you're using. I went from using stiff flex in my irons to regular and I hit the ball a little further with the regualr flex.

Functional Strength Training-The military way to strength and fitness

Have you ever seen someone just after they got out of a military boot camp? I mean really SEEN them, as in a before and after comparison. The effects are stunning. A highly trained recent graduate of boot camp has a ripped, well defined, muscular and most of all VERY STRONG physique. It is easy to understand why so many trainers have set up “boot camp style” trainings all across the country. Folks flock to these early morning intense session in hopes of shedding pounds, building muscle, and totally transforming their physique. These boot camps, in mimicking their military counterparts, focus their workouts around the concept of training known as functional strength training.

So, what is functional strength training anyways? Functional Strength Training is “The development of physical strength that most closely mimics what might be needed in real world situations.” Pretty simple, why work on building strength or developing muscles you may never really need in the real world. Let’s take the bench press, for instance. Try to imagine a scenario where you would be laying directly on your back, and the only way to survive would be to push an extremely heavy weight straight over your head. Whenever I ask this question to a group of fitness buffs, I usually get someone who shouts out “What if a car fell on you?” Well, in the real world, I am not usually in a scenario where a car could fall on my, and if in fact I was laying on my back and I car DID fall on me, well, no amount of bench pressing would turn that into a happy scenario.

There ARE many real world scenarios where functional strength training could play a part in your safety or survival. What if, in order to save yourself, you had to scale a high wall? Maybe someone was chasing you, or you had to get on the other side to rescue someone, how would you get over the wall? No matter how pretty your pec muscles were, no amount of pressing will get you through this one. Nope, this is all pulling my friend. This type of scenario is one of the reasons that the military put such an emphasis to perform pull-ups. The ability to pull your own weight is an extremely useful and tactical skill and forms the foundation of a solid functional strength training regimen.

Another heavily focused fundamental of this type of training is core strengthening. Remember that scenario with the bench press? Well, if you DID have a large weight on your chest that you need to get off, you would save yourself, not by pressing straight up, but my twisting your torso (using your core muscles) and pushing with your legs to throw the weight to the side. The press does come into play, but it is the functional movement of your whole body that gives you true strength and ability in these types of real world scenarios. Other types of exercises include the squat, dead lift, lunges, and push ups among others.

Functional strength training can help you get through your everyday activities more easily. They can also better prepare you for life threatening situations that could befall any of us at any time. They can also give you a slim, ripped, muscular physique. So what are you waiting for? Do some research on functional strength training, put together a workout, and transform your body for the better today.
