The question of what are the best running shoes for a runner is a tricky one. Why?
False advertising, mixed messages, incongruent advice, etc. makes finding the best running shoes more of a hassle than a joyful process.
However, after plowing through weeks of research, peer reviewed journals, running and non-running articles, consumer reviews, runner’s feedback I have a stance to take.
And it is against the "traditional" running shoe.
The biggest reason is that there is NO scientific evidence to back up the claims that a traditional running shoe will improve your performance, offset injury, and reduce impact forces.
In fact the exact opposite is true.
As the saying goes, "By their fruits, you shall know them", and you will be hard pressed to ignore the case of the minimalist natural running shoe when you read the literature and here it from the masses of runners who are making the transition and the difference that is being made.
I wasn't always on this page.
I thought that the minimalist/barefoot running movement was nothing more than a hippie fad biding its time before their time was up.
However I really do not see them going anywhere except increasing in popularity as runners are educated on the best running shoes for them.
As you read the science and hear what others have to say no leap of faith will be needed.
Just the fact that traditional running shoes do not let your foot function in the way that it was made to function should be convincing enough.
But you will have to read on to see exactly how impeding it really is to your running.
In a nutshell:
Better foot function + fewer (if any) injuries, better form, improved running efficiency = a happier runner.
Who couldn't agree with that?
Well that is precisely what minimalist running shoes are designed to do.
In the following series of articles we will see precisely the hows and whys of minimalist natural running shoes and a list of the best running shoes that I recommend.
I don't suggest going completely barefoot for the following reasons:
Now these reasons wont be convincing to everyone so if you really feel that the only way to set yourself free is to completely ditch the shoes then at least wait until your feet have developed some callouses.
This can be done by running increasing longer and longer distances without shoes.
Remember the goal is pain free healthy running.
Maybe you really will not be able to go the minimalist route all the time because your feet are too accustomed to the support and cushioning of a traditional shoe.
To help you get started though I would suggest buying a pair of 5 mm shoes to have on hand and try and run a couple miles a week with them just for added strengthening.
Also, try and buy a pair of casual minimalist shoes just to wear around the house, or better yet go barefoot when at home.
All of the following shoes that I recommend are the best running shoes that abide by natural foot function rules.
After this list, I will give some good runner's up in the case that you still aren't the running minimalist bandwagon.
That's ok. I was a stout non-believer until I really delved into the research. Now I'm just a believer with convictions. :)

How to transition into a pair of minimalist/barefoot running shoes: Goals to Work Towards + an Action Plan to Follow
It is not just about throwing away your old running shoes and running around as free as a bird. (or flying around….okay, I'll let it fly) You will want to be savvy about what is going to happen, how your feet will feel, how long it will take, how you should build up to it, strengthening exercises, etc.
These simple guidelines to follow will help you choose a the best pair of running shoes for your feet, making the process simple and fun!
Yes, finding the best running shoes for your feet will be easy and fun once you know what you are looking for. The first step: forget what you think you know.
If you read anything, read this. This will help you to see how traditional running shoes are NOT the best running shoes for your feet.
Read this and not only your feet but also your ankles, knees, hips, and back will thank you.

Ever since its introduction in 2008, the Nike Hyperdunk has set the precedent for the look and feel of a basketball sneaker. This year's model is no different, as its lightweight feel and superior cushioning set the bar for what a basketball shoe should be.
With summer here, Nike set out to make a shoe that was versatile for both indoor and outdoor play. The result is a shoe that stands the heat and breathability needs of summer basketball thanks to a Hyperfuse constructed upper. Lunarlon cushioning makes for a smooth ride while Flywire technology provides lockdown supper throughout the midfoot.
The Hyperdunk 2014 will be available online and in-stores beginning July 16.

Many people are wondering what are the features that make a bike a mountain bike!
In this article, I will tell you what are the most important features of a mountain bike but first I will tell you what are the main mountain biking riding styles because they heavily influence the bike’s features:
- Cross-country: riding a mountain bike on unpaved country roads or forest roads, speed is the main concern here.
- Trail: riding a mountain bike on the trails found in the forest or on mountains, the terrain here is rougher and filled with tree branches and rooks so you need a tougher mountain bike that is designed for a rougher terrain
- Enduro: this is focused on downhill racing but you still need to ride your bike uphill at first (but still this portion is not timed so the bike needs to be able to climb but it doesn’t need to it fast), this is a tough environment and you need a very capable mountain bike.
- Downhill: the focus is only on downhill riding (you won’t ride your bike uphill at all) and you need a very tough bike.
Mountain bike geometry is becoming more and more important these days when mountain bikers want to ride faster and harder on very technical trails and downhill.
Modern mountain bikes are designed to have a longer wheelbase for more stability when riding straighter trails at high speed and a slack head angle to improve the bike’s downhill capabilities.
The slacker the head angle is the safer you will feel riding the bike downhill but this will be a disadvantage when riding uphill, so you need to get a mountain bike with the head angle appropriate to your preferred riding style.
|Riding style||Head angle|
|Enduro (All-Mountain)||around 63°|
Cross-country and trail bikes need to have good climbing performance and for this reason, they will have a bigger head angle than enduro and downhill bikes.
People think that a longer bike comes with a big compromise in maneuverability but this can’t be further from the truth, of course, that there is a compromise here but it’s a small one, and the benefits of having a longer bike are much more important.
An MTB with a 1300mm wheelbase is considered to be long, this will give you more stability when riding at high speed, now you see why this future is highly desired.
The bottom bracket height is very important also, the lower it is the more stable the bike will be because this will lower your center of gravity, but it still needs to be high enough that you don’t hit things with your pedals. Hardtails can have a bottom bracket high as small as 300mm but on full-suspension bikes, it varies a lot.
So when choosing a mountain bike you need to pay close attention to the head angle, the wheelbase length and try to get the lowest bottom bracket height as you can. On downhill and enduro bikes it is recommended that you don’t obsess about the bottom bracket height, it is ok to be higher because you need more clearance for pedals, so you don’t hit things on the trail while pedaling.
One of the most important features of a mountain bike is suspension. Regarding this topic, there are 3 major aspects we need to clarify.
MTB Type: hardtail or full-suspension
Regarding suspension there are 2 types of mountain bikes:
- Hardtail: a mountain bike with front suspension but no rear suspension, they are cheaper, cheaper to maintain, lighter, and require more skill to be ridden on more technical terrain, they are faster for climbing and on smooth trails and slower on rougher trails and downhill.
- Full-suspension MTB: a mountain bike with front suspension and rear suspension, they are easier to ride on technical terrain and are more forgiving on the rider’s mistakes, faster on technical trails and downhill but slower on uphill.
If you want to read an in-depth comparison of hardtails and full-suspension mountain bikes, I encourage you to read this article!
When it comes to mountain biking the suspension type and quality of your MTB is very important because they will determine the speed at which you can ride on the more technical trails.
There ate two main types of MTB suspension:
- Spring suspension: found on entry-level frocks, they are constant load suspensions, less comfortable, less performant than air suspensions.
- Air suspension: these are progressive load suspensions, far more comfortable than spring ones, and are able to absorb more consecutive bumps because they decompress quicker.
On high-end MTB’s designed for jumps and downhill the rear shock is a combination of a spring and air suspension, they are meant to handle rough landings for which a combination of constant and progressive load suspension is needed.
All mid-range mountain bikes are equipped with air suspensions but the quality is very important. There are a few suspension manufacturers that are dominating this market and their suspensions are far superior to the ones from their competitors. If you focus on RockShox or Fox suspensions you most surely will get a good quality suspension.
A RockShox suspension fork will be much more expensive than a Santour one but well worth the money, on suspension is the worst place to be cheap.
Suspension travel is very important as well but this is very correlated with your style of riding. When you ride with speed on rough trails filled with big tree roots and rocks you need more travel so that your suspension will be able to absorb the shock generated by your wheel hitting these obstacles.
As I said earlier the amount of travel you need is in direct correlation with your riding style:
|Riding style||Suspension travel|
|Enduro (All-Mountain)||130 – 170 mm|
|Downhill||170 – 200+ mm|
Practically the more suspension travel you have the harder you can ride but this will add more weight to the bike and it will affect its climbing performance.
When it comes to mountain biking breaks are very important as well, if you find yourself riding with speed on rough terrain and your breaks don’t have enough stopping power you will probably end up falling and maybe injuring yourself.
V-breaks are very outdated when we are talking about mountain bikes, they don’t have enough stopping power to be safe for trail riding, and they have even less stopping power in wet conditions, so for mountain biking, they are really not recommended.
Practically we have three types of breaks:
- Mechanical disk breaks: these are the cheap option found on low-end mountain bikes, they offer decent stopping power but they are inferior to hydraulic ones.
- Hydraulik disk breaks with 2 pistons: these are the standard when it comes to mid to high-level bikes, they offer good stopping power and are reliable breaks that can get you out of tough situations on the trails.
- Hydraulik disk breaks with 4 pistons: these are top-of-the-line breaks that offer maximum stopping power.
Now let us see what breaks are recommended for each riding style:
|Riding style||Recommended breaks|
|Casual||Mechanical disk breaks|
|Cross-country||Hydraulik disk breaks (2 pistons)|
|Trail||Hydraulik disk breaks (2 or 4 pistons)|
|Enduro (All-Mountain)||Hydraulik disk breaks (4 pistons)|
|Downhill||Hydraulik disk breaks (4 pistons)|
If you are a heavier rider then hydraulic disk breaks with 4 pistons are the best choice for you, you will need a lot of stopping power on downhill portions of your rides.
If you want to know the advantages of hydraulic disk breaks over mechanical ones, I encourage you to read this article!
Mountain bikes are equipped with wide knobby tires because you need all the traction you can get when riding on mountain trails. Losing traction at high speed is one of the main reasons for crashes and injuries.
The most important aspects of mountain bike wheels:
- Size: 29″ has become the standard in the mountain biking industry, 27.5″ are recommended for smaller riders for which an MTB with 29″ wheels are too big, 27.5″ will give you more maneuverability but in general people prefer 29″ because they make your MTB faster and the difference in maneuverability is not that high.
- Width: wider tires will give you more contact surface with the ground and that will result in more traction, MTB tires are between 1.6″ and 2.6″ wide
- Tire tread: the tire can be optimized for maximum grip for maximum speed, the bigger the knob size and the distance between knobs is the more grip focus the tire is.
- Tire setup: you can have a tube set up or run a tubeless setup (this allows you to ride at lower tire pressure increasing traction), make sure that your tires and rims are tubeless-ready, then you can easily convert them to tubeless if you want int the future.
Wheel recommendation for each riding style:
|Riding style||Wheel size||Wheel width||Tire tread||Recommended |
|Cross-country||29″||1.9″ – 2.3″||Small, tight tread|
|Trail||29″||2.3″ – 2.5″|| Bigger, medium |
spacing between knobs
|Enduro (All-Mountain)||29″||2.5″ – 2.6″|| Big, large |
spacing between knobs
|Downhill||29″||2.5″ – 2.6″|| Big, large |
spacing between knobs
Mountain Bike Gears
Mountain bikes are equipped with drivetrains that make them capable to climb almost any hill and offer high speed on smooth trails. The mountain biking industry is shifting all its attention to one by drivetrains because they offer good climbing capability and are simpler than two by or tree by drivetrains.
Downhill mountain bikes are usually equipped with a 1×7 speed drivetrain because they aren’t meant to be ridden uphill so you only need speeds designed to achieve the maximum speed while descending.
The most popular drivetrains now are 1×12 speed, but if you are on a budget a 1×11 or 1×10 speed will offer you good climbing performance. I advise you to stay away from 3x or 2x drivetrains if you can (if you have the budget).
If you are on a tight budget you shouldn’t stress about the drivetrain, get what you can afford but if you get a mountain bike equipped with a one-by drivetrain don’t go below 1×9 speed ( you may regret it in the future).
Mountain bikes need to be tough enough to be able to be ridden on mountain trails, so the frame material needs to be able to handle it. Practically the most used materials for mountain bike frames are aluminum and carbon.
Aluminum is a light material but tough enough to build a tough frame that can handle the rough conditions on the mountain trails. The most important thing about aluminum frames is that they are cheaper than carbon ones but the main disadvantage is that they are heavier.
Carbon is a light material that is very resistant to compression but breaks easily on impact. Because carbos are very light and resistant to compression it has become the go-to material for high-end mountain bikes.
So if you have the budget for a carbon mountain bike then get one but if not don’t worry aluminum ones are very good and will last you many years of fun on the trails.
Mountain Bike Weight
Mountain bike weight is important but not as important as on a road bike, mountain bikes need to be tough and reliable at first. Mountain biking is a skill-based sport and many times a lighter bike won’t make the difference.
But if you are into cross-country racing then bike weight is going to be very important for you but for the other riding styles it will not make a huge difference and you shouldn’t stress too much about it.
The weight of the mountain bike is in direct correlation with the frame material (carbon is the lightest) and the materials from which the rest of the components are made, for enduro and downhill bikes there is a big compromise in the weight of components because toughness is the main concern here.
If you are interested to know more about the average weight of mountain bikes and the price-to-weight correlation, I encourage you to read this article!
Mountain bikes are equipped with wider handlebars to improve maneuverability, it is easier to execute tight turns on trails with wider handlebars than it is with narrower ones.
Handlebar width recommendation for each riding style:
|Riding style||Handlebar width|
|Enduro (All-Mountain)||around 760 mm|
I hope that by now you know what are the most important mountain bike features to look for and this article was a good starting point to understand your mountain biking needs.
If you plan to ride your bike on trails you need to be prepared to dig deeper into your pockets because decent mountain bikes don’t come cheap, but if you decide to get one you won’t regret it.

Golf clubs are a tool, but a tool nonetheless. A golf club stand is a piece of furniture that sits on top of a table. It’s designed to hold a golf club while you’re playing a round of golf and keep it from falling off.
This is a great way to give your golf club a better grip and prevent it from going flying. It’s also a great way to keep your back and shoulders squared, but it’s equally useful for making sure your balls don’t drop off. In fact, I have a few pieces of golf club stand that are actually built to keep balls from dropping off.
The golf club stand is a great way to make sure your balls do not drop off. But because it is so useful, and because the stand has become very popular, it may be getting a bit overused.
I’d like to thank the great golf club stand team in the game, Tom, for their effort and dedication to the game.
The stand is a great way to keep your balls from dropping off. But because it is so useful, and because the stand has become very popular, it may be getting a bit overused. We need to use this stand more so that we can keep our balls from falling on the ground.
The stand is also a way to keep your ball from falling on your feet. In the case of golf, because the ball is flying off the end of the golfer’s club, it is not safe to assume that the ball will land on the floor. The stand can help keep your ball from landing on the floor.
I like the idea of golfers clubs being used as a stand, but I’m not convinced that it’s the right tool for the job. Golfers clubs are made of wood and therefore, are made to be held with one hand. In order for them to be held with the other hand or even the other arm, they are made to be shorter than the size of the rest of the club. They’re made to be used as a weapon.
I think golfers clubs would be more suited for a weapon. They are made to be used as a weapon and they are also made to be used as a club. As such, they are made to be long and narrow. I think it would be better to have the same size club as a typical club that we saw back at the range. Golfers clubs are made so that they can be used in a golf swing, and are not made to be used as a stand.
If golfers clubs were made to be used like a club, then we would have a problem. Golfers clubs are made to be used like a club, and are not made to be used as a stand. That doesn’t mean that golfers needn’t be shorter. The smaller the club, the easier it will be to use. I’ve seen many golfers’ clubs that are about a foot shorter than the standard size and they are all still very good shots.
The problem is that the smaller the club the harder it will feel. Think about it, if you are going to take a swing, how many times will you be using your right hand? Once? Twice? Three times? If you are using your right hand, you are using it to hold the club. If you are using your left hand, you are using it to help you hit the ball. For those of us with large hands, this can be a major problem.

With the lid, you have 55 liters and can throw your trail-weary bits in the lid so your dirty socks don't smell like dinner, and vice versa. Ice axes rest securely in Lowe's proprietary HeadLocker system so you can freely climb without accidentally self-arresting on the concrete. Throw your ropes or crampons under the lid so inner pack space remains available for important stuff like 'biners and beverages. If the going gets tight and you must separate from your pack, thread a rope through the grab handle and lash loops and pull your precious gear to safety. These can also be used if you find yourself in need of a crevasse rescue. Compression straps on the side do double duty, depending on your needs. If you're only going out for a day hike, take out the frame and eliminate excess volume by pulling the straps taut. If your chosen backcountry tour finds you off the snow for any amount of time, the compression straps hold your skis so you're not skinning your way up a dirt trail. The AdaptiveFit harness molds to your body when cinched down, and glove-friendly Load Locker buckles mean your fingers won't get frostbite when you need to adjust the pack. Tip grippers hold your poles when you don't need them, and multiple points of entry give you gear access options, none of which necessitate completely emptying the pack.

Beautifully Refinished! Plays just like the dozen of new Tour D balls I purchased!!!
August 10, 2012
Once again RockBottomGolf provided me with one of the best golf ball deals I have seen in a long time. These balls look and feel new. I took them out for a test drive and these things react just like the brand new box of Tour D balls I played earlier this year. I love the Ammo Box program and I will continue to purchase and push RBG to everyone I know!!!!!

Cons:The logo on the side is a little in your face...maybe something smaller?

adidas Predator 19 Silver MetallicYou may struggle to get a pair of these superb 302 Re-Direct pack adidas Predator soccer shoes. That struggle will likely come because these boots are likely going to sell out really quickly. Good looking quality boots never last long on the shelves. These shoes can help make you better just by how great they look but the much better thing to think about is the fact that they are Predators and have that great Pred quality. Specifically the instant control bit they give you.
Predator isn't just a cleat. It's a statement that actions speak louder than words. If you can't back your chat with total control, pipe down. But if you're ready to dominate to the final whistle, keep reading. The upper on these soccer cleats is made from foot-hugging knit textile for secure lockdown. Its laceless design leaves a clean striking area while a textured coating on the forefoot grips the ball for maximum precision when passing and shooting.
The adidas Predator 19+ FG Soccer Cleats have a big following around here. Join the happy throng, get your own pair today!

The Montane Orbiton 20 is an unusual hiking backpack which has featured in our guide to the best hiking backpacks. Designed for walking, running and biking, and for both outdoor and urban activities. For the different activities it has a hipbelt whose angle can be adjusted with stud fasteners. It arrived in the ‘run’ position. I used it like this for walking and then changed it to the ‘walk’ position. I didn’t notice any difference. In both cases the pack felt comfortable and the hipbelt fitted fine.
- Price: $175 | £130
- Weight: 815g
- Capacity: 26 litres
Materials: 210D 6.6 Mini Ripstop / HydroShield nylon with PFC-free DWR | Closure: large zip top | Back system: AirZone + back system with FormKnit technology foam | Back length: 43-48cm | Hipbelt: padded | Pockets: 2 side mesh, 2 zipped hipbelt, zipped top, zipped internal, internal hydration sleeve | Features: forward pull hip-belt, axe attachment, walking pole attachments, sternum strap with whistle, hydration bladder compatible, upper and lower side compression straps, detachable raincover | Sizes: one
The hipbelt, shoulder straps and back are lightly padded but it’s quite enough for a pack this size. The foam is mesh-covered and there’s an airflow channel down the back to reduce sweat build-up. As with similar designs it works to some extent.
The Montane Orbiton 20 has two compartments, each easily accessed via a long zip. The side pockets angle round the hipbelt for access while wearing the pack. They’re not very big. The more urban-compatible features are a padded laptop sleeve and a padded tablet/phone sleeve. I could do without these, but some people may find them useful.
Overall, this is a neat little pack that carries well. I think there are better choices for hillwalking though.
Written and tested by Chris Townsend
Chris is 5ft 8in with a stocky build and short legs. He tested these packs during late autumn and winter on lower-level walks in the Cairngorms National Park. Conditions were wintry, with much snow and ice on the ground at times, and stormy weather. The stability of the packs certainly got a good testing, as did ease of use with gloves. Weights are from Chris’s own scales.

Cut the Body fat with Exercised-Induced Growth Hormone
It's no secret that entertainers and many older citizens are taking growth hormone (GH) injections for their body fat cutting, youth rejuvenating,and muscle toning properties, but there can be serious side effects. Exercise can increase GH levels naturally and natural is always best.
Most research suggests that higer intensity exercise is most effective at increasing growth hormone release. Examples might include:
* Wind sprints that get you out of breath.
*Activities that are intense enough they become anaerobic. (Your body shifts from aerobic to anaerobic when you start to get out of breathe and your muscles burn a little). You can work anaerobically at your favorite cardio machines by just upping the intensity and shortening the time.
* You can also work anaerobically at cardio activities by interval training which simply means hard-recover. Go hard for one minute, then perhaps two minutes at recovery pace.
* Weight training is probably the ultimate GH producer. Concentrate on intense lifting of the larger muscle groups of the legs and back.
If you haven't exercised anaerobically for a while, start slowly and begin with a solid warmup. Some studies have shown a GH rise with standard aerobic execise, but it is much less than with anaerobic training and weightlifting.
So tell your friends you've fould a natural way to boost GH levels which can help you reduce fat, increase muscle tone, reduce wrinkled skin, increase libido and much more. Tell them good hard exercise can increase GH levels, help them stay trim, feel younger and it doesn't come with injectable needles or any side effects. All you get is good overall health and the bonus of some extra GH.

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
08-01-02, 02:22 PM
My description 5'9" 240. I am new to the sport and enjoy what I have done so far. So now I am ready to buy my own bike, I was using my buddies old Royce Union. What do I look for in buying a bike for a man my size:confused:
08-01-02, 04:33 PM
I'm no lightweight either. For "Clydesdales" there are a few things to look for in bikes and some things to avoid.
Most frames will take the additional abuse of heavier riders without a problem. Frame materials really won't be an issue for strength as you're not "Sooo" heavy. Full Suspension will definately be more comfortable, but costs may prohibit you from getting the most for your money. Cheap Full Suspension bikes (under $850) aren't worth it. If you don't want to spend that much, get a hardtail.
The most significant thing you want is a strong wheelset. Avoid low count spokes like the plague. Stick with 32 or 36 spoke wheels. If you can swap out the wheels and get 36 spoke count, you'll be better off! If you can only get 32, I suggest try to swap the tires for a wider size, like 2.1 minimum or 2.25 is good. If you plan on doing any jumps, go even wider.
If you get a decent fork, you'll want to swap out the springs or the elastomers inside the fork for spring rates that are "XTRA STIFF" this will make a huge difference in the performance of the fork. Try to stay away from "Air" suspension, you'll find the action of a coil spring much better for a big person.
The rest is pretty much the same, remeber, XTR is top of the line, but in order to save weight, they remove material. The top level components I prefer is XT. I find most XTR stuff too fragile for the abuse I inflict. O.k., the XTR derailleurs work very well, but I don't see the need to spend the extra cash for anything else!
Everything else should be fine.
08-01-02, 04:36 PM
Pretty much anyone will tell you to get a bike that fits your riding style and you. That means the rougher the riding, the better the bike, and you should always make sure to sit down on the bike to make sure it's comfortable.
Name-brand frames are quite strong because of all the advanced alloys used in them, but you want to focus on having durable wheels, tires, fork etc. as those take alot of the beating off road.
I'd say read through previous posts on the site, as there are plenty of big guys who bike and tips from people who ride their bikes pretty hard.

Justin M - Review from Zappos
I really have enjoyed playing tennis in these shoes. Great ankle support and light for their relative bulkiness. Not to mention they are not shock white like the traditional Wilson shoes.They do run small, I normally wear a 11 or 11.5 and needed a 12.
Anonymous - Review from Zappos
Took a chance on these shoes for my teenage son. Not disappointed. Great shoes, comfortable. First time buying from here, very happy with my purchase and Zappos.
Sepehr - Review from Zappos
The shoes are very comfortable and have plenty of padding on the bottom and around the ankle. I played for about two hours on a hard court with them and I was pleased with how they performed. I like how they provide support for lateral movement; I'm not generally happy with this aspect of some tennis shoes. I got the White/Stadium Gray/Total Crimson/Black color, and I was slightly disappointed that the color didn't match the color in the pictures on the website. On the screen, they look more orange, but they are actually bright crimson as the description suggests. So expect a bit of pink hue if you're ordering that color. I think they still look great.
Anonymous - Review from Zappos
The Air Cage Courts are great fitting sneakers. I wore them twice. I played tennis on a Har True court for four hours. They are very comfortable. No break-in period was need. I ordered them half a size longer. That was perfect. They also look great.

The Science Behind High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Its Benefits
In recent years, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has gained significant popularity in the fitness world. This form of exercise involves short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. While HIIT may seem like a trendy workout fad, there is actually solid scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness and numerous benefits.
The Science Behind HIIT
HIIT works by pushing your body to its maximum capacity during the intense intervals, followed by brief recovery periods. This pattern of alternating between high-intensity exercise and rest triggers several physiological responses in the body, leading to numerous health benefits.
During the intense intervals of HIIT, your body taps into its anaerobic energy systems, which rely on stored energy sources like ATP and glycogen. This leads to an increase in heart rate, oxygen consumption, and calorie burn. The intense effort also stimulates the release of growth hormone, which promotes muscle growth and fat burning.
As you recover during the rest periods, your body replenishes its energy stores and clears out metabolic waste products like lactate. This recovery phase allows your heart rate to drop and prepares your body for the next intense interval. The repeated cycle of high-intensity effort and recovery challenges your cardiovascular system, improving its efficiency and overall fitness.
Benefits of HIIT
- Improved cardiovascular fitness: HIIT has been shown to significantly improve cardiovascular health by increasing the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. This leads to improved endurance and a reduced risk of heart disease.
- Increased fat burning: HIIT is highly effective for burning fat due to its impact on the body's metabolism. The intense bursts of exercise increase the body's calorie burn during the workout and continue to burn calories even after the workout is over.
- Time efficiency: One of the main advantages of HIIT is its time efficiency. Since the workouts are short and intense, you can achieve the same or even better results compared to longer, moderate-intensity workouts in a fraction of the time.
- Muscle building: Contrary to popular belief, HIIT not only burns fat but also helps in building lean muscle mass. The short bursts of high-intensity exercise stimulate muscle growth and improve muscle tone.
- Improved insulin sensitivity: HIIT has been shown to enhance insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing it.
- Enhanced metabolism: HIIT has been found to increase the body's metabolism for hours after the workout. This means you continue to burn calories at a higher rate even when you're at rest, contributing to weight loss and weight management.
- Reduced boredom: HIIT workouts are often dynamic, incorporating a variety of exercises and movements. This variety keeps the workouts interesting and helps prevent exercise monotony, making it easier to stick with a fitness routine.
- Adaptable to different fitness levels: HIIT workouts can be modified to suit different fitness levels and abilities. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, you can adjust the intensity and duration of the intervals to challenge yourself appropriately.
- Boosted cognitive function: Research suggests that HIIT can have positive effects on cognitive function, including improved memory, attention, and mental clarity. The increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain during HIIT workouts contribute to these cognitive benefits.
- Stress reduction: HIIT workouts release endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers and stress reducers. Engaging in HIIT can help alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety, promoting overall well-being.
- Supports bone health: HIIT exercises that involve weight-bearing movements, such as jumping or strength training, can help improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. This is especially important for women and older adults.
- Increased anaerobic capacity: HIIT workouts improve the body's ability to tolerate and recover from high-intensity exercise. This leads to an increase in anaerobic capacity, allowing you to perform better in activities that require short bursts of intense effort, such as sprinting or weightlifting.
It's important to note that while HIIT offers numerous benefits, it may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain health conditions, such as heart problems or joint issues, or those who are new to exercise should consult with a healthcare professional or fitness expert before starting a HIIT program.
In conclusion, the science behind High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is well-supported by research. Its effectiveness in improving cardiovascular fitness, increasing fat burning, saving time, building muscle, enhancing insulin sensitivity, boosting metabolism, reducing boredom, adapting to different fitness levels, boosting cognitive function, reducing stress, supporting bone health, and increasing anaerobic capacity makes it a highly versatile and efficient workout strategy. Incorporating HIIT into your fitness routine can help you achieve your health and fitness goals more efficiently and enjoyably.

Exercise is healthy for your heart, but when it comes to running vs. walking for your blood pressure, which is better? Find out here.
If you’re wondering which is better, walking or running, the simple answer is that neither is necessarily better than the other. However, if you’re looking to reach specific goals (e.g.: burning more calories), then one activity may suit your needs more. The following is an overview of both activities and how they affect your blood pressure and heart health.
Aerobic Exercise Benefits
Walking and running are aerobic exercises that strengthen your heart and circulation, boost stamina, and more. Moreover, according to one study, aerobic exercise can also help reduce anxiety and depression. To get these benefits, you just have to do 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise three times per week.
If you’re trying to decide which of these activities to do, you need to figure out what it is you’re trying to accomplish. For instance, if your goal is to lose weight, running will help you get there faster. However, since walking is accessible for most fitness levels, it can be a great option if you’re just getting started.
Walking or Running?
When it comes to walking, your best option for increasing your heart rate is to go speed and power walking. In fact, people who power walk burn a similar number of calories as someone who runs for the same amount of time. You also don’t have to stick to one activity; you can switch between walking, power walking, and running as you see fit.
If you want to keep a regular pace but still work as hard as if you were running, consider incline walking by walking up a hill. You can either choose the incline option on your treadmill or simply find a hilly area nearby. Those who are new to incline walking can start gradually and work up from 5% to a 15% incline.
Benefits and Blood Pressure
While both types of aerobic exercises are beneficial, it’s important to note that running is a high-impact exercise. In other words, it can be harder on your body. Also, if you’re trying to lower your blood pressure, you may not have to choose between walking and running.
According to a 2013 study available in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, both activities provide similar results:
- Equivalent energy expenditures by moderate (walking) and vigorous (running) exercise produced similar risk reductions for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and possibly CHD.
Whether you’re walking or running, what’s important is that you’re getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. If you don’t have much time, you can also do 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week.
In addition to working out, you can give your heart an extra boost by taking supplements like L-arginine Plus. Its ingredients are effective at promoting circulation, blood pressure, cholesterol, and more. If you’re ready to give your heart the support it deserves, then start walking or running and take L-arginine Plus.

Making cricket bats has been a special skill since cricket began. It is a subtle art that has been passed down to craftsmen for hundreds of years. Shaped something like a paddle, cricket bats need to be both lightweight yet sturdy and shock resistant enough to withstand the harsh leather balls they encounter at such high speeds.
Instead of being governed by rules like other sports, Cricket is governed by laws. These laws are set by Marylebone Cricket Club, the guardians of the laws of cricket, rather than the ICC which is the game’s international governing body. The laws that are followed in cricket had been codified and existed since the 1700s. In total, there are a total of 42 laws of Cricket that exist today but the law that we want to focus on is law 5. Law number 5 indicates the precise specifications of the bat, including the material, purpose, measurement, and grading to be considered while designing and using a Cricket bat.
Now, every cricket fan has heard the descriptive cliche “the sound of leather on willow” more times than they could count and of course, bats are made of that adaptable and flexible wood. But the blades used in cricket are carved specifically from a particular species of willow named white willow, or more specifically salix alba, which is native to Europe and western and central Asia. Cricket bat wood is a highly specified and governed part of the bat-making process. Cricket bats may come in different sizes but the length of the cricket bat may be no more than 38 inches and the width no more than 4.25 inches.
What Types Of Cricket Bat Can You Buy?
While cricket balls in local tournaments vary largely from soft tennis balls to leather balls, depending on where & who plays the game, the materials that Cricket bats are made out of have largely remained the same and have been consistent in the last 3 decades. Despite the restrictions on the material and the physical dimension of the bat, the story of the Cricket bat has been filled with plenty of adaptation to the evolving needs and with no dirt of innovation spirit.
The origins of cricket can be traced back to the early 16th century, the oldest bat on record, currently displayed in the Sandham Room at the Oval in London, dates back to 1729.
English willow cricket bat
There are a number of woods used for the manufacturing of cricket bats but the most preferred wood used for professional cricket bats is English willow. As you might be able to tell from the name, English willow comes from England and it’s also called white willow.
English Willow is used for the production of professional cricket bats all over the world. This is because it is the only wood that can provide the strength and compression needed to withstand the full force cricket ball. Cricket bat wood is a heavily regulated part of bat manufacturing and must follow a number of cricket laws.
Kashmir willow cricket bat
As by their name, the Kashmir willow can be found in India and Pakistan and they are manufactured in the regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Due to the hotter and drier conditions, this willow is also a bit denser, which makes Kashmir Willow bats heavier. Due to the difference in colour, bats made by Kashmir willow can be easily distinguished from the English willow cricket bats.
Because they are less resilient and use a lower quality of willow in comparison to the white willow, it does make them a more affordable option and they tend to be produced as low-cost junior bats and low-end adult bats. Once you become a better player or start taking the game that little more seriously, you can switch to English Willow.
Training cricket bats
Training cricket bats are specialised cricket equipment to improve and help you to practice your cricket skill. If you want a low-cost cricket bat to develop your batting skills or to use for assisting catching practice, there are several training bats available to purchase too.
Some training bats that are available include the Gray-Nicolls Cloud Catcher bat, which is made from premium English Willow. Kookaburra also offers a high-quality Premier Fielding practice bat, which is used by many professional coaches. There is no particular piece of wood in the manufacturing of these cricket bats and they can be made out of Kashmir willow or English willow.
Training cricket bats generally come in different sizes and widths, suitable for most players, with some of them having a shorter handle and smaller blade. These training bats are a great tool for improving your hand-to-eye coordination, or for practising and perfecting the ability to middle the ball when playing attacking shots, or to defend.
The Future Of Cricket
It has become apparent over the last few years that bats are continuing to get bigger. While bats are governed by rules on size, the length of the bat may be no more than 38 inches and the width 4.25 inches,there was no limit on weight or depth. This prompted the MCC to
act in 2017 as the game seems to be weighted in favour of the batters.
Changes were made to law 5.7 which meant that as well as the length and width of the bat being limited, the edges and size of the sweet spot were also subject to maximum proportions. The spine now has a maximum depth of 67mm and the edges are limited to 40mm, allowing for a 2mm curve of the face.
With the quality of a bat making such a difference to the outcome of a match, it can be the most important piece of cricket equipment you will buy and the one you will take the most time choosing. Sometimes it can be hard to choose a Cricket Bat online, it’s great to get your hands on one as you want to see it, feel it, count grains, or check the pick-up…but with our experience, it’s amazing how often we are able to pick the perfect Cricket Bat for you.

Swim caps are an essential accessory for swimmers of all levels, providing benefits such as protection, improved hydrodynamics, and enhanced visibility. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right swim cap for your needs. This article will guide you through the process of selecting the perfect swim cap by considering factors such as material, size, and personal preferences.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Swim Cap
Before diving into the details of different swim cap options, it’s important to understand the factors that should influence your decision-making process. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:
- Purpose: Determine the main purpose of the swim cap. Are you swimming for recreational purposes, training, or competing in races? Different swim caps offer varying levels of hydrodynamics, comfort, and durability, depending on their intended use.
- Material: The material of the swim cap plays a crucial role in its performance and comfort. Silicone and latex are the most common materials used for swim caps. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in more detail in the following section.
- Size and Fit: Ensuring a proper fit is essential for both comfort and functionality. Swim caps are available in different sizes, ranging from small to extra-large. It’s important to measure your head circumference accurately to choose the right size.
- Durability: Consider the durability of the swim cap, especially if you swim frequently or in harsh conditions. Some swim caps are more resistant to tears and stretching, ensuring a longer lifespan.
- Design: While the primary function of a swim cap is practical, there’s no harm in choosing a design that reflects your personal style. Many swim cap options come in a variety of colors and patterns to add a touch of individuality to your swimming gear.
Swim Cap Materials: Pros and Cons
The material of a swim cap significantly affects its performance, durability, and comfort. The two most common materials used for swim caps are silicone and latex. Let’s explore the characteristics and pros and cons of each:
Silicone Swim Caps
Silicone swim caps have gained popularity due to their durability, long lifespan, and ease of use. Here are some key advantages and disadvantages of silicone swim caps:
- Durability: Silicone swim caps are highly durable and resistant to tearing, making them suitable for regular use and rough conditions.
- Longevity: These caps have a longer lifespan compared to latex caps, making them a cost-effective option in the long run.
- Comfort: Silicone swim caps are softer and more comfortable to wear, especially for individuals with sensitive skin.
- Easy to Put On and Take Off: The elasticity of silicone makes it easier to put on and remove the swim cap without pulling or tugging on your hair.
- Heat Retention: Silicone swim caps are not as breathable as latex caps, which may lead to increased heat retention during intense swimming sessions.
- Price: Silicone swim caps tend to be more expensive than latex caps, but their durability can offset the initial cost.
Latex Swim Caps
Latex swim caps have been a traditional choice for swimmers due to their affordability and lightweight nature. Here are the pros and cons of latex swim caps:
- Affordability: Latex swim caps are generally more budget-friendly compared to silicone caps, making them a popular choice for recreational swimmers.
- Lightweight: Latex caps are lighter in weight, which can provide a more natural feel in the water.
- Breathability: The porous nature of latex allows for better breathability, preventing excessive heat buildup during swimming.
- Durability: Latex swim caps are more susceptible to tearing and stretching, requiring more frequent replacements.
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may have latex allergies, resulting in skin irritation or discomfort. It’s important to consider this factor before choosing a latex swim cap.
Are There Different Sizes for Swim Caps?
Swim caps come in various sizes to accommodate different head circumferences. It’s crucial to choose the right size for a comfortable and secure fit. Here are some common swim cap sizes and their corresponding head circumferences:
- Small: Fits head circumference up to 20 inches (51 cm)
- Medium: Fits head circumference between 20-22 inches (51-56 cm)
- Large: Fits head circumference between 22-24 inches (56-61 cm)
- Extra-Large: Fits head circumference over 24 inches (61 cm)
To determine your head circumference accurately, measure around the widest part of your head, just above your ears and eyebrows. It’s important to note that swim caps are designed to stretch, so choosing a slightly smaller size can provide a snug fit.
Do I Need a Swim Cap if I Have Short Hair?
Swim caps are beneficial for individuals with short hair, offering advantages like protection against chlorine and increased hydrodynamics. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider wearing a swim cap, even with short hair:
- Protection: Swim caps create a barrier between your hair and the water, protecting it from the potentially damaging effects of chlorine and other chemicals found in pools.
- Improved Hydrodynamics: Even with short hair, a swim cap can help streamline your head, reducing drag and improving your swimming performance.
- Enhanced Comfort: Wearing a swim cap can prevent loose hair from getting into your face or eyes, enhancing your comfort and focus during swimming sessions.
- Team Identification: In group swimming activities or races, wearing a swim cap can help identify members of the same team or group.
While swim caps are not mandatory for individuals with short hair, they offer practical benefits that can enhance your swimming experience.
Can I Wear a Swim Cap with Long Hair?
Absolutely! Swim caps are suitable for individuals with long hair as well. In fact, wearing a swim cap with long hair can provide even greater benefits. Here’s why:
- Hair Protection: Long hair is more prone to chlorine damage and tangling. A swim cap creates a protective barrier, minimizing exposure to harsh chemicals and reducing the risk of hair damage.
- Reduced Drag: Long hair can create drag in the water, affecting your speed and performance. By wearing a swim cap, you can streamline your head and hair, reducing resistance and improving hydrodynamics.
- Easy Hair Management: Tucking long hair into a swim cap keeps it securely in place, preventing it from obstructing your vision or getting tangled during swimming.
- Hygiene: Long hair can shed and contaminate the pool water. Wearing a swim cap helps contain loose hair, maintaining a cleaner swimming environment.
For individuals with long hair, using a swim cap is highly recommended to protect your hair, improve performance, and maintain better hygiene in the pool.
Q1: Can swim caps keep my hair dry?
A1: Swim caps are not designed to keep your hair completely dry. While they provide some protection against water, they are primarily intended to protect your hair from chlorine and other chemicals.
Q2: How should I care for my swim cap?
A2: To prolong the lifespan of your swim cap, rinse it with clean water after each use and allow it to air dry. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Q3: Can I wear a swim cap if I have a lot of hair?
A3: Yes, swim caps are designed to accommodate different hair volumes. Look for caps with extra room or consider using a hair bun or swim cap specifically designed for long or thick hair.
Q4: Are there swim caps for children?
A4: Yes, there are swim caps available specifically designed for children. These caps are usually smaller in size and come in fun, colorful designs to make swimming more enjoyable for kids.
Q5: Can swim caps prevent my hair from turning green?
A5: While swim caps can provide some protection against chlorine, they cannot entirely prevent your hair from turning green. It’s advisable to rinse your hair thoroughly with clean water after swimming to reduce the risk.
Q6: How often should I replace my swim cap?
A6: The lifespan of a swim cap depends on its material, frequency of use, and care. Silicone caps generally last longer than latex caps. Replace your swim cap if you notice signs of significant wear, tear, or stretching.
Q7: Can I wear a swim cap in open water?
A7: Yes, swim caps can be worn in open water swimming. They provide added visibility and can help protect your hair from saltwater or other environmental factors. However, it’s essential to consider the water conditions and temperature before deciding to wear a swim cap.

The Reebok Nano X4 Takes a Leap Forward with Key Improvements
The arrival of the Reebok Nano X4, the 14th version of the Nano series, sparked excitement, especially knowing that even-numbered releases typically bring improvements over their odd-numbered predecessors. The X4 lives up to this expectation by refining the best features of the Nano X3 and presenting them in a lighter, more breathable package. In recent years, there has been a trend of overbuilding cross-trainers, resulting in shoes that are too rigid, heavy, and clunky. The Nano X4, however, strikes a balance, offering a comfortable middle ground that addresses the drawbacks of its predecessors. It's a breath of fresh air in the world of cross-training shoes. What really stood out to me right off the bat was how comfortable these shoes are.
- Still includes the Lift and Run (L.A.R) Chassis System that provides stability for lifting and softens for running.
- Rubber outsole provides excellent grip making you feel well-connected to various surfaces.
- 7mm drop feels more like a 4mm shoe, offering a balanced and stable feel during lifts.
- Great for heavy lifting, jumping, and lateral movements, making it truly versatile.
- Flexweave Knit upper adapts to foot shape and provides a snug fit.
- Midfoot Ventilation Panel enhances breathability, preventing overheating during workouts.
- Streamlined design devoid of excess plastic makes the Nano X4 lighter and more agile.
- Faster break-in time compared to Nano X3, offering a seamless fit after just a few workout sessions.
- Well-rounded training shoe suitable for strength work and various cardio.
- Good option for short runs, back-and-forth shuttle runs and sprints.
- If you're more of a minimalist shoe type, the Nano X4 might be too bulky.
- May not be ideal for those preferring wider shoes. The X4 has a pretty standard width.
- Not recommended for runs longer than 2 miles.
Sizing and Fit
- Runs slightly smaller than the Nano X3 but would still recommend most people stick with their true size.
- Slightly wide toe box with a bit of arch support.
Style and Aesthetics
Sleek design makes the Nano X4 appealing beyond the gym, breaking the trend of strictly gym-focused wear.
My Favorite Feature
When I consider all there is to like about Nano X4, what stands out to me the most is the Flexweave Knit upper material and how it conforms to your feet so quickly. I'm now 5+ workouts in on this shoe and they fit just right - snug but not too tight, lightweight, and breathable.
The Reebok Nano X4 truly lives up to its promise of being a comfortable, breathable, and high-performing training shoe. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, the Nano X4 stands out as a versatile all-in-one trainer that competes admirably with other top-performing cross trainers. With the Nano X4, you'll feel confident and ready to tackle any workout that comes your way.

You want a single carbon trail bike that can take on every adventure, from singletrack to the gnarliest descents and multi-stage endurance events. You prioritise a lightweight frame and performance suspension over the highest-end drive train available.
The tech you get
A lightweight and stiff full OCLV Mountain Carbon frame with Carbon Armour, a 140 mm FOX Rhythm 34 fork, 130 mm of rear travel with a FOX Float Performance rear shock with Trek's exclusive RE:aktiv damper, a wide-range 1x12 SRAM NX/GX Eagle drive train, a Bontrager Line dropper post, Tubeless Ready Bontrager Line Comp 30 wheels and powerful Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes. An internal storage compartment and Control Freak cable routing add to the bike's capability and sleek look.
The final word
Fuel EX full suspension performance on a lightweight and trail-tough carbon frame makes for a fun and fast ride. This rugged, capable bike sails down descents and helps you hang tough during fatiguing marathon rides.
favorite_borderWhy you'll love it
- Don't confuse the Fuel EX 9.7 with other value carbon models on the market – this bike provides an outstanding frame and suspension, with a workhorse drivetrain and wheels
- A sleek internal storage compartment gives you a versatile spot to stow tools and gear
- This bike is perfect for shredding singletrack, hitting drops and pushing your limits in multi-stage and marathon events
- The shifter-style, underbar remote dropper post lever is super intuitive and easy to use
- We expanded our size range to ensure a better fit for all riders. And, you get the fastest wheel that fits your frame: XS frames get 27.5˝ wheels, S frames get to choose between 27.5˝ or 29˝ and sizes M to XL get 29˝ wheels
'A world-class trail bike!'
'The Fuel EX is a beautifully balanced and capable trail bike. The rear suspension is beautiful; as close to ideal as any bike I've ridden. It's sensitive where you want it to be, firm and crisp where it should be. It feels deep and controls big hits very well, and there's a nice platform for pedalling, and to pump and pop off when you're playing.'Read more
Will my bike have a curved top tube?
Smaller frames (XS and S) have a top tube that dips down as it approaches the seat tube. This design makes for a lower standover height, which is good for shorter riders because it allows them to straddle their bike more easily. Larger frames (M and up) have a straight top tube because taller riders with longer legs typically don’t have the same issues with standover height.
Control Freak cable management
The lightest, quietest, most versatile cable management system allows any combination of shift, brake, lockout and dropper post lines to be routed through the frame for clean looks and the ultimate custom set-up.
Wider dropouts (110mm front, 148mm rear) give you the stiffness of a 27.5" wheel with all the benefits of a 29" wheel, and Boost148 at the back lets you run wider tyres and a larger chain ring without affecting q-factor and pedalling efficiency.

For some people, golf can be the best recreational activity. If you have been considering picking up golf as a recreational activity, read this article for great tips on getting started on the right foot.
When golfing, sometimes it’s better to walk, rather than getting a golf cart. This turns your golf outing into an exercise outing, as well, which will do wonders for your health if you golf every week. Walking will also keep your muscles loose and warmed up, leaving you ready for every shot as you take it.
You need to find your golf club’s “sweet spot.” This is a point on the club’s blade that propels the ball to where you want it to go every time it makes contact. Go ahead and check out all of your clubs so that you know the sweet spots in each of them.
When you are gripping the putter and standing over the ball, your left hand should be in front of the ball. Maintain this position as you follow through with your swing. This will minimize the chance the ball will skip off the face of your club at impact, and makes it easier to maintain control of your stroke.
If you need to make a long putt, focus mostly on the speed that you hit the ball with. Don’t aim for the hole, instead aim for a point between yourself and your goal which lies on the way to the hole. This technique will increase the chances that your second putt will be short, and ensure that you don’t have a putt that is too long or short.
If you are seeking power from your swing, focus on building a strong core and solid legs. You need to whip your body around during the swing, deriving strength from your legs as they push against the ground.
Develop a good position to improve your overall skills. How you address the ball usually determines how far and where the ball will travel. The golf ball will not travel very far if you slouch too much or too little.
Good golfers are as smart and mentally healthy as they are fit. Try to take out any outside concerns and put your focus on your swing.
Inspect your golf clubs before buying them. The club head is especially important; don’t buy clubs without checking the heads for wear. If a club has been overused, you can tell by the shiny, worn spot on the head. This is undesirable since the club will not be able to cradle the ball as effectively.
Be sure that you behind the golf ball at a distance of about four feet. At the same time, you should be viewing the location where you want the ball to end up. Take the wind, other weather conditions and your environment into consideration. Taking this extra time to think about your swing will significantly increase accuracy. Once you are in position to take a shot at the ball, you will be more precise in your directing of the ball.
Now that you have read this article, you should be ready to get out there on the green and test out your newly acquired knowledge. Continue learning as much as possible and seek advice from experts, turning your knowledge into skills on the golf course. You’ll shock and amaze your playing partners as you start to beat them every time you play!
