One of the most common problems those new to the game of golf have is the shortage of distance off the tee with the driver. I mean, the ball barely makes two hundred yards off the tee, which means it leaves a lot of golf to play to make the green for a par. Often the most frequent question handicap golfers ask their buddies after a round of golf is why can’t I hit the golf ball longer with my driver?

Golf is such a struggle when you can not hit the ball far enough off the tee to give yourself a chance of a decent score for each hole.

Frustration creeps in and it is easy to lose motivation at this point. You often find that beginners can hit the short irons a good distance but the long irons and the woods not very far. Why is this? It does not seem to make sense.

Well, it is to do with confidence in the club you are playing. Short irons are easy to play well. They have a generous amount of loft, and a shorter shaft length. Practice hitting these well and confidently, then work on the longer irons and three wood, rather than the driver. Leave that in the bag for now. Concentrate on hitting down on the short iron shots, and this will help you hit the ball before the ground. All golfers know the frustration of hitting the ground before the ball.

The driver and long irons need a different approach and skill set to play them well. With these clubs you need a longer and slower swing, relying on the loft of the club to make the ball rise in the air and carry for longer distances. It is difficult to adjust to playing these clubs well when you are new to the game.

If your objective is to hit the ball longer with your driver, all you need is a sound golf swing and a good swing rhythm, to be successful.

There is no denying that eBay could be regarded as the great way to enjoy high quality golf clubs while at a lower price than retail. But everything has two faces. Once you clicked into eBay site, you also have yourself surrounded by fake golf clubs.

This article can give you 3 very simple tips for golf buying at eBay.

Purchase clubs from sellers

Purchase clubs from sellers with high eBay seller ratings, and from those who have been involved in numerous transactions. If a seller has sold very few items and is selling expensive golf clubs at ridiculous prices, avoid them. There is a good chance that they are selling you counterfeit clubs.

Check out the images

Check out the images of the item you are considering purchasing. If the images are what would find on the website of a manufacturer, you do not know if the clubs are real. By not seeing the golf clubs that you would be buying, the odds increase that the clubs that you would be buying would be counterfeit.

Ask the seller to send you more images. A real seller would have no problem doing this. Ask the seller for serial numbers of the clubs. Several manufacturers; put serial numbers on their irons. Avoid sellers who will not give you the serial numbers.

Does the seller offer any buyer protection?

Counterfeiters will likely not offer any PayPal Buyer Protection. If they do offer protection, it may be for less protection than the purchase price. They may only offer $50 worth of protection for golf clubs that they may be selling for over $500. The seller would sell the counterfeit clubs for $500, and if the buyer files for a refund, they buyer may only get $50. The seller would still be $450 ahead.

Try to be as informed of a buyer as you can be. Informed buyers are less likely to become counterfeit club scam victims. If you find a seller that you suspect may be suspicious, tell eBay immediately. Counterfeit sellers hurt everyone in the eBay community. Keep eBay safe for everyone.
