Swing weight is another element that subtly contributes to every strong strike, even though clubhead speed and shaft flexibility typically garner the most attention. Swing weight refers to how heavy your club feels when you swing it, not how heavy it is. Consider it the difference between hanging a backpack on a long strap and carrying it close to your body.

Few voices in the country music industry have had the same emotional impact as Randy Travis’s. His sound, which was deep, textured, and unflinchingly genuine, came to represent a genre that was rooted in narrative. However, that distinctive voice was all but gone in 2013.

Green tea’s image may appear remarkably magical when framed by glossy wellness advertisements and anecdotal success stories. However, there is a more complex reality hidden behind that serene green color. Green tea doesn’t steal the show like a supporting actor…
When you think about running shoes, performance might be the first thing that comes to mind – speed, comfort, support. But beyond their athletic function, running shoes tell a much deeper story.
