If your website is effectively constructed for human reading the main page is perhaps the most important but the other pages must be related and provide more details on the site focus.

The Case for Mallet style Putters

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Mallet putters are very popular right now, with the increased stability this type of putter gives to you while putting . A mallet putter is well balanced, has a bigger putter head than blade style putters, and usually weigh more than a traditional putter.

Mallet putters also are higher in their MOI than traditional putters. What this means is that the putterhead will twist less on an off-center hit, so the ball stays on a truer line and doesn’t lose as much of it’s momentum than when struck by a normal putter. Mallet type putters typically include elaborate alignment systems that will help you line up short putts easily. Some of the most helpful designs are the Odyssey putters, especially their new White Hot XG line of mallet putters.

Due to the added mass and higher MOI, mallet putters fell very solid, even on imperfect contact. If you normally use a conventional putter, you may be shacked at how easy it is to hit the ball solidly and how little force is needed. It will take some practice but you will get used to it rather quickly.

A few advanced golfers feel that a blade putter offers more feel on long putts . However other golfers feel the high MOI of mallet patters offers considerable feel, even on lengthy putts or those tricky downhill putts. One of the most important aspects of touch putts is getting the ball started on the correct line, and high MOI mallet putters do that job perfectly.

An area where mallet putters show their stuff is on short putts under 10 feet. These are the putts that really count in pro golfing circles . The more of this length putt you make during a round, you are sure to lower your handicap . The same characteristics of mallet type putters – heavier, extreme MOI and sophisticated alignment aids – will help you make more short putts that can otherwise ruin a good round .

Mallet style putters work best with a no-frills , straight-through putting stroke. If you use a different style , it doesn’t mean a mallet putter is not for you . It just means that you may not get all the technological advances mallet putters offer . If you aren’t willing to change your style , you may want to demo some the newer model putters.

New Mallet designs can seem quite odd, but many still have a traditional look. If you can put up with the large, exotic shapes of some of the mallet-style putters (like the Odyssey Sabertooth putter ), you will find them to be a big help to your golf game. If you prefer a less exotic look, some of the more conventional mid-mallet putters may be a better fit for you .

A lot of people have switched to the new, larger-headed mallet-style putters for some time . Maybe it’s time for you to give them a try , too .

Cramer’s Picks Under Perform the Market – Study

Friday, February 20th, 2009

When you’re buying stock, the best advice is to listen to respected stock market analysts. But be careful to look for objective investing information you can trust.

Jim Cramer’s “Mad Money” on CNBC is currently the most popular stock picking advice show on the airwaves. Cramer has gained considerable popularity and a large following because of his entertaining presentation and super confident stock picks.

But do his picks actually pan out? Are you better off when you follow his advice? According to an article recently published on Barron’s website (Cramer’s Star Outshines His Stock Picks) there is no good evidence that Cramer’s picks outperform the market.

In fact, more than one study demonstrates that on the average Cramer’s recommendations under perform the market by most measures. From May to December of last year, for example, the market lost a whopping 30%. According to different studies following Cramer’s Buys and Sells would have resulted in an additional 5% loss.

Which is to say, taking Cramer’s advice to the letter would have meant a greater loss than if you had just ignored it and put your money in an index fund.

One significant trend noticed in Cramer’s picks may explain the under performance of his advice. Along with a previous study done in 2007, the Barron’s article points out that Cramer’s bullish picks had actually risen about 4% in the two weeks ahead of his recommendation, while the bearish ones had dropped about 7%. In other words, the research team behind Cramer’s show may tend to default to momentum plays.

In other words, go with the stocks that are rising, sell or stay away from those that are falling. In fact the study showed that when viewers acted on this advice the day after broadcast they did better than waiting five days as Cramer himself usually recommends.

Nevertheless over the longer term those picks turned out to be losers relative to the market – perhaps because of the longer term tendency of the market to correct for those moves that took place before the recommendation.

These findings has led some analysts to suggest an alternative strategy: betting against Cramer’s picks. For example, University of Dayton finance professor Carl Chen came to the conclusion that you could make over 25% in a month by betting against Cramer’s buy recommendations by using what are called short-term in-the-money puts.

So it’s possible that savvy investors can profit from Cramer’s picks after all. Just don’t wait to hear him crowing about it on his show.
