This guide focuses on the best left-handed putters. We regularly evaluate clubs here at Golfspan and wanted to dedicate some special attention to all the other lefties out there.

To stop topping the ball, you get longer clubs, place the ball further back, or work on how your clubhead impacts your ball (so it’s not too high).

In this article, I will cover a few tips to help you if you have contact issues and are topping the golf ball. I will give three drills I use with my students to improve ball contact. These drills include videos demonstrating a couple of them.

What Size Golf Clubs Do I Need? Complete Guide + Charts

The standard-sized golf clubs are made for men 5’9″ to 6’0″ tall. If you’re taller than 6″, you’ll need clubs that are 0.5-2″ longer. If you’re shorter than 5’9″, you need clubs that are 0.5-2″ shorter than the standard length. To know the right golf club size, refer to my golf club length-to-height chart or use the wrist-to-floor method. Buying the right-sized golf club is crucial for your golf game. While a shorter golf club can ruin your posture and potentially cause back pain with excessive bending, a too-long one can affect your golf swing and ball contact. In this article,

3 Wood vs 3 Hybrid: Differences, Pros, Cons

A 3 wood is meant for distance, while a 3 hybrid is meant for accuracy. The longer shaft and lower loft of a 3 wood produce a low penetrating ball flight, perfect for those wanting extra yards. The shorter shafts and larger heads of a 3 hybrid produce easy launch, perfect for those who struggle to hit long irons accurately. High handicappers may struggle to hit a 3 wood, but most will be able to use a 3 hybrid. Remember: Using the wrong club could mean you never reach your potential. And as I’ve explained to hundreds of students, knowing
