Fred Couples, a popular American professional golfer, celebrated his 65th birthday on the 3rd.

Nicknamed Boom Boom Boom with his smooth swing, great distance and comfortable smile, the couple was born on Oct. 3, 1959. Since their debut as professionals, they have won 15 PGA Tour titles including the 1992 Masters. They beat the Players twice in 1984 and 1996, and participated in 622 tournaments and won the Shell Houston Open in 2003.
Couples played 153 times in the PGA Tour Champions Tour, where players aged 50 or older are active, and has grabbed 14 wins through 2022. In the senior tour, wins have become similar to those of the regular tour. They are showing signs of aging. They also set a record of making the cut as the oldest player at the 2023 Masters, showing off their power even when they get older.

Good performance not only has its secret to comfortable swing but also the composition of the club. For starters, the flying distance between drivers can send 285 yards like the reputation of being a long hitter. Wood uses three hybrids – Type 2 (Wood 3 and 5) and Type 4 to 6, replacing the long iron. Due to chronic back injuries, he often uses hybrids as it is difficult to hit long irons.

Golf magazine asked David Armitage, a top 100 golf instructor, and he said, "What couples do is optimize the game and set the right direction so that they can score the lowest possible points." What implications can this give to senior or amateur golfers? They say that they focus on clubs that are highly tolerant and easy to hit.

"Fairwaywood and hybrid not only help golfers float the ball, but they also make better technical movements in swing," Armitage said. "Ordinary golfers tend to lean back after swing to float the ball, but the wider and more comfortable the pace, the easier it is to hit the center of the pace." The difference between professional and amateur golfers is the frequency of hitting the sweet spot in impact. 스포츠토토

Another thing to note is that the distance gap between hybrid and short irons decreases constantly. The secret to maintaining sophisticated performance in senior teams as well as in the first part of the tour is to maintain a constant distance between clubs. The more you do so, the more you will aim at the hall. This is the point where veteran players stand out.
