Club Fitting your way to success

Written by Ryan Starr on Tuesday Jan 03, 2012

Club fitting can occur in many stages. New players being introduced to the game, season veterans trying that latest club or a low handicapper making a mid-season tweak when things seem to be off. When club fitting someone for driver and woods I always try to keep the shaft flex and loft of the golf club hidden from the player. This way mentally I am getting a true commitment to every shot with no predetermined result. The latest technology in drivers has lead us to fitting more players with higher lofts and softer shaft flexes. The outcome is a higher ball flight with reduced spin ultimately resulting in a straighter more powerful ball flight with increased distance. Having your swing looked at by a CPGA Professional who has training in club fitting is key to your game improvement. This person can see the ball flight and track your results giving you the equipment that will best perform for you under most playing conditions.
