What do golf club specifications tell you about the club?

Loft is one of the most important specifications of all golf clubs, other than putters, and any loft angle is undesirable. The loft of a club impacts the angle at which the golf ball travels in the air after the golfer strikes it. Lower angles correspond to flatter trajectories, while higher angles result in steeper arcs of travel.\nOther than the putter, the golf club with the lowest loft is the driver, sometimes also called the 1-wood.

What are the NFL salary cap rules?

While many fans assume that signing bonuses are awarded to a player in one lump sum at the time of signing, in reality they are divided into weekly installments just like any other type of pay.

This allows for much greater flexibility than an immediate $1 million hit. If the player is cut or traded, all of the deferred money immediately hits the current year's cap, potentially crippling a team's chances that season.\nGreater freedom i..
