We can't promise you that...

Since last year’s TOUR Championship, Justin Thomas has conjured up five wins – including his maiden Major victory at the USPGA – and seven other top 10 finishes; results that have seen him rise up to fourth in the World Golf Rankings while cementing himself as one of golf’s brightest stars. 

These performances, culminating in a runner-up finish in last week's season-ending TOUR Championship, saw Thomas take the top spot in the FedEx Cup (the PGA Tour’s OOM) and the juicy $10 million bonus that goes along with that.

Whilst we can't promise you prize money like that, our coaching can certainly help you to be more consistent and maybe even see your name at the top of a leaderboard over the coming months. If this sounds appealing to you, send us a message via the link below.

Keep your ball in play

If you struggle to keep your drives on the short stuff then it’s probably about time you looked at improving this area of your game. Feeling confident when standing over a tee shot is crucial to hitting a good drive and that’s where we come in.

Graph

Get it in play

You might be surprised that there isn’t a bigger difference between the stats in this graph. The real difference comes when you look at how far offline the misses finish.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out hitting it straighter will reduce lost balls and increase your chance of making pars, which is why we highly recommend having a driver you’re confident in and one that’s set-up to counter your most common bad shot.

Is your driver custom fitted?

During a Mizuno JPX900 driver fitting we can test all the sole weight positions, a host of shaft options and experiment with different lofts using the hosel until we’ve found a combination that gives you consistently better performance than your current model.

Layer up, winter's coming

A common misconception among many golfers is that adding layers will completely restrict your swing. While that might be true if you wear thick polos and woolly jumpers from the high street, it simply isn’t the case with the golf-specific clothing we sell, which is designed to keep you at a comfortable temperature and swinging freely throughout your round.

Why you must consider layering your outfit

Traditionally, if you wanted to stay warm you’d add a big jumper and then maybe a jacket, but would soon overheat, sweat and struggle to swing dynamically. We instead recommend multiple thin and lightweight garments designed to work in harmony with one another.

All three of these Callaway tops will do just that, keeping you nice and warm by using stretch fibres to ensure you can make your normal, powerful swing. They also optimise breathable material, which helps any moisture escape so you don’t overheat uncomfortably.
