Custom Fitting
It is an extremely over used phrase, but what exactly is custom-fitting?
Put simply, it's making sure that, whatever your ability, your clubs are right for YOU.
You may think that custom-fitted clubs are purely the right length for your height, or the right shaft flex for your swing/ability, but the process is far more important than that. True custom fitting is much more of a consultation and will take all of the following into account (see below for explanations)
- Your age, gender, ability and budget
- The number of clubs you need
- Your swing speed at impact
- Your general tempo
- Wrist to floor measurement
- Your height and set-up position
- Launch angle and ball flight
- Your shot shape and trajectory
- Grip size and texture
- Your ambition in the game
Sounds complicated? It is, but not to a trained eye and it doesn't take long either; 30-40 minutes of your time now could save you a great deal of frustration and wasted money in the future.
Sounds expensive? Well no, as all our prices include a full custom-fitting consultation with one of our pros and a free lesson with your new clus to ensure you get the best out of them.
The Result? A club, or set of clubs that is tailormade for you and that will no longer leave you in doubt as to the suitability of your equipment. Golf is a game of confidence, and once and for all you can take the doubt about your clubs out of the equation!
- Age, Gender, Ability and Budget: All these factors have a bearing on which clubs will be best for you and the really good news is that it's not the price of the clubs which is the important thing.
- The Number of Clubs You Need?: Many iron sets are available these days as individual clubs, so if you only use half your clubs most of the time, what's the point in buying a full set? Just update the clubs you need and be advised on the best set make-up for your game.
- Your Swing Speed: This will be measured to establish the correct shaft flex for your power rating.
- Your Tempo: Something that can really only be assessed by a trained professional and will also influence our shaft selection for you.
- Wrist to Floor: It's not just your height which determines shaft length as taller people usually have longer arms and vice-versa. Remember also that the longer the club the harder it is to hit straight!
- Height and Set-Up: These two elements together will help to establish the correct lie-angle (the angle the shaft makes when the club head is correctly placed on the ground).
- Ball Flight (especially for the driver): This is one of the most overlooked areas of custom-fitting and cannot be assessed properley by hitting into a net or by a computer - your pro will advise.
- Shot Shape & Trajectory: Some clubs can actually help to improve certain destructive shot shapes and the shaft selection is important in attaining the right ball-flight for your game.
- Grip Size & Texture: Big hands or small hands the wrong grip size can adversly affect your shot control.
- Your Ambition: A very important consideration this; are you improving, still growing, getting older or having lessons? We will discuss where you would like your game to be, how to get you there and determine the correct clubs for now and in the years to come.
