An integral part of the game of golf is good equipment.
A southpaw should keep in mind that he should not try to play a game of golf right handed due to the fact that it is not easy to find clubs for the left-handed person.
You should wait to get just the right equipment rather than compromise the way you play.
A person who is naturally left handed will never be able to achieve the perfection in the game of gold by playing right-handed.
Golf Technique Same for Left-Handed Players
The same basic technique for playing the game of golf is relatively the same no matter if you are right or left handed.
Your grip on the club should not be too loose or too tight.
Your stance should be square with your feet parallel to the target line.
The shoulders as well as the hips and the thighs should be square with your feet parallel to the target line.
If you happen to want to slice the ball, the swingpath should be from the inside to the outside.
If you want to hook the ball then the swingpath should be from the outside to the inside.
Good luck in your golf game!

- Cobra S3 Irons Review
Accurate, consistent and stylish pretty much sum up Cobra S3 irons. I heard these clubs have the ability to help with distance, so I figured I’d give them a fair shake to win me over. Although their design may be a little flashy for my taste, I’ve learned to never judge a book by its cover. Just because it looks young and fun doesn’t mean it won’t deliver veteran-worthy performance, right? Well, I never thought Cobra would become a club of choice for me, but I can definitely say I’m pleasantly surprised and impressed by these irons. For a forged club, the ball comes off the face pretty hot, and I like it! They’re smooth and when you make contact, the ball in flight is definitely a thing of beauty. So, my first demo out with the Cobra S3 irons, I found myself hitting purer shots and ultimately taking more risks with confidence. In fact, they didn’t seem like risks, after all! I simply felt like I graduated to another level. Appearance I know I’ve complained about the looks of the irons but in all fairness, it’s really only the yellow markings on the ones I was playing with that [...] - 5 weeks ago
- Taylormade Burner Superfast 2.0 Driver Review
Introduction There is a wise quote in the American military that says, “Talent is hitting a target no one else can hit; genius is hitting a target no one else can see”. Just like in the military where the weapon greatly determines the accuracy and power you can generate, in golf too, a lot depends on the club or driver being used. Being able to hit the target requires a considerable amount of calculation, precision, balance, and power. Not all drivers can deliver all of these and where a particular club delivers on power, it will compromise on stability and vice versa. Therefore, choosing the appropriate golf driver for the game is as crucial as choosing the right weapon for a war. This is especially true in the case of international tours. Technical Specifications TaylorMade knows its products well, delivering smarter and more innovative products to ardent golf enthusiasts. The Superfast series of drivers have set the bar pretty high with the highly refined SuperFast technology being the spearheading factor in its drive to innovation. A lighter driver also means faster swing speed and a greater distance traveled. In all, the following are the key features of the TaylorMade Burner [...] - 5 weeks ago
Left handed golfer 13 months ago
Great hub. The first day we put a club in my sons hand he hit both RH and LH irons. All shots were terrible the 1st time. The local pro said what feels better and he said from the left, so he became a LH'ed player ... eventually got his handicap to the + side below scratch. Sure getting the right equipment wasn't easy, it just took 10 years to finalize his bag of sticks. A lot is made in LH now so there is no reason to switch a player from left to right. Also depends on their dominant eye. If right eye dominant might be better to play LH'ed.
