Custom Club Fitting

Why custom fitted clubs?

Imagine purchasing a suit off the rack without be measured and tailor fitted.  Chances are your suit will not fit the way you want it to be!  People come in different shapes and sizes, so one standard size will not be suitable for everybody.  It is better to be measured and have the suit tailored for a better fit. 

The same can be said when a set of clubs are bought off the rack as opposed to a set of custom fit clubs.  Clubs bought off the rack will not be suitable for many golfers since every golfer will be unique in physical attributes and swing characteristics.  As an example, a golfer that is tall may require a shaft, different in length, than a golfer who is shorter in height.  A golfer with a strong, fast-tempo swing may require a stiffer flex or heavier shaft compared to a golfer with a smooth tempo swing who may require a more flexible or lighter shaft for their golf club.

In short, custom fit clubs are made exactly to your specifications and your unique swing characteristics.  With a combination of the proper equipment and golf lessons from a certified pro, you will surely have a chance on the golf course to get under par! 

What is the custom fitting process?

 In the custom fitting process, we will sit down with you to discuss your game, your current equipment, your goals, and whether you have taken lessons before or plan to do so in the future.  From there, we will measure and evaluate your current clubs and ask you to hit a few balls to determine your swing speed, swing tempo, and impact pattern. 

You will also be asked to try our demo clubs will be available for you to use so that additional information can be obtained in the fitting process.  Clubs with varying degrees of loft, lie, grip size, length, and swingweight will be used.

At the end of the process, we will be able to determine what will work best for you and offer you some recommendations to help improve your game whether it is changing the size of the grips to adjusting the lie of your clubs.  The entire club fitting process will take anywhere from 1-2 hours.

Some Common Problems Arising From Improper Equipment

Lie Too Upright:  A lie that is too upright on mid and short irons will cause a golfer to hit shots that will tend to go straight to the left of the intended target (called a pull) for a right handed golfer.

Lie Too Flat:  A lie that is too flat on mid and short irons will cause a golfer to hit shots that will tend to go straight to the right of the intended target (called a push) for a right handed golfer.

Worn or Incorrect Grip Size:  A grip that is excessively worn out or incorrectly sized will lead to inaccurate shots.  Without the proper grip, the golfer's hand position will change at some point in the swing, reducing the chance of returning a club to a square impact position.
