What is club fitting?
Club fitting is matching the specifications of golf clubs to the individual golfer. Think of it as tailoring a bespoke suit. Just as the tailor would make sure the trouser legs aren't too short and the jacket fitted nicely across the shoulders, with golf clubs, they can be fine-tuned to your individual physique and golf swing.
Why get fitted?
Off-the-shelf golf clubs are manufactured to suit 'Mr. Average.' But we're all different shapes and sizes and a club that's unsuitable will be detrimental to your game. You should not need to adjust your swing to accommodate the club. So it is sensible to use clubs that have been fitted for our personal size and needs to optimise our skill set and abilities. The bottom line is: Will it lower my scores? For most golfers, properly-fitted clubs will improve performance and lower scores.
Who should get fitted?
Whatever your experience or ability, all golfers will benefit from being fitted for equipment - from beginner to low handicapper.
What clubs can be fitted?
Every club in the bag - from driver to putter. Some fitters recommend starting with the scoring clubs - putter, wedges and short irons - then work through mid-irons, long irons and metal woods. It's a seductive temptation to start with the driver but the potential gains here, in terms of improvement and reducing your handicap, are smaller than with the scoring clubs. So it's worth giving consideration to having ALL your clubs fitted, not just the ones that give you a particular thrill by being hit further!
