A regular saying within the golf world is 'drive for show and putt for dough', but it is the short game of many players that prevents them from shooting the lowest scores.

Many players may deem a trip to the driving range as an adequate training session, belting golf balls into the distance with their golf drivers, sometimes putting distance ahead of accuracy.

However, players could make the biggest improvements to their scorecards at the opposite end of a hole, pitching and chipping nearer to a flag and then sinking the resulting shot with their golf putters.

Players thinking that some new golf equipment is what is needed to tighten their short game may want to check the options available from Wilson Staff, which has a wide selection of putters to fit the specific needs of different individuals.

Among these is the Wilson Staff 8881 Series golf putter, which is a traditionally-styled blade offering.

The putter helps players get their eyes in the correct position over the ball through the use of multi-surface markings, while secondary master grooves help generate forward spin and reduce skidding after impact.

This club is part of a larger range, which all have the same features but look slightly different.

The Wilson Staff 8885 Series golf putter is a mallet offering, while the Wilson Staff 8883 Series golf putter also has an offset gooseneck hosel and heel shaft, but a semi-mallet head.

Meanwhile, Wilson Staff also has the Prostaff putter range for players looking for an alternative.

Among these is the Wilson Prostaff III golf putter, which is a blade offering and has different weight positions to fit a player's individual game.

In terms of improving their approach shots to a flag from closer distances, Wilson Staff TW9 golf wedges may prove the answer.

Used by three-time golf major winner Padraig Harrington to help him challenge at the head of the leaderboards of various tournaments, the golf wedges offer increased spin through their tour-milled grooves.

Furthermore, the gap between the typical distances hit with a pitching and sand wedge has been reduced through new lower-lofted cavity back options.

Another item which may affect a player's game is the brand and type of golf ball they use, with some more suited to added distance, while others produce extra spin and offer greater control.

The Wilson True Distance golf ball attempts to combine these attributes.

Maximum initial velocity is gained by a high-energy solid core, while optimum flight features ensure that a player benefits from strong control.

Meanwhile, an Ionomer cover means that golfers enjoy the ultimate in playability.

Another ball option from the brand is the Wilson True Velocity golf ball, which has a two-piece construction and is perfectly balanced to provide a true flight alongside a consistent putting roll.

Other features of the golf ball are that it has a soft feel and a high spin rate to provide players with the chance to hit a shot close to the pin even when playing from the trickiest of lies.
