Here’s
what a couple
of guys
who know
what they’re
talking
about
say about
custom
fitting:
"There
exists no
club that
will be
perfectly
correct
for all
players
and their
varying
launch conditions.” -

key is to have golf clubs that
fit you.”

Take
a
look at these
pictures. What
you’re
seeing
here is a
small part of
a professional
clubfitting.
Custom fitting
is a process of
taking physical
measurements for
each golfer, plus
measuring the
vital aspects
of the golfers
swing. By using
a hi-tech swing
analyzer and launch
monitor data can
be collected regarding
swing speed, angle
of attack, tempo,
swing path, face
angle, and other
elements of the
golf swing to
determine proper
finished club
specifications.
Your
clubs are fit
for you just
as a tailor would
custom fit a suit.
When you pull
a suit off the
rack, that suit
was made to some
set of “average” specifications.
It is unlikely
it will fit you
well. Same thing
for golf clubs.
Unless they’re
made for you,
they really don’t
fit you. They
aren’t “your
clubs”. Click

Playing
with
clubs that are
made to specifications
exactly
tuned to your
body and your
swing dramatically
increases
your chances of
improving your
scores and enjoying
the game.
If
you really want
to get better
at your game
and enjoy it more,
you should seriously
consider getting
custom golf clubs. E-mail or
