Do I Need Custom Fitted Golf Clubs?
Who needs custom fitting?
The simple answer is anybody who wants to play golf! It’s often misunderstood that only pro golfers should get custom golf club fitting. However, this is not the case! The benefits of custom-fitted golf clubs are true for all golfing levels – even for beginners. Even as a novice golfer, you will have consistency in your game. For example, we are not all the same height which means that using a club that is not the correct length for you can hinder your progress. The size of the grip may also be too thick or too thin for you, if the grip size or length of the club is not correct for you then you are already at a disadvantage.
What is the fitting process?
At Golfsupport we tailor the golf clubs to you and your needs.
If you already have a club you will be asked to bring it to the fitting, so that we can evaluate the numbers produced and then start the process of finding you the best club to help you improve and enjoy golf.
However, if you are a complete beginner and don’t have a club you will be given a standard one to work from initially. When choosing the club for you, your budget will be of course taken into consideration.
A custom fitting will look at the following:
Clubhead size
Shaft flex
Shaft weight
Shaft material (e.g.: steel or graphite)
Length of club
Lie angle
Grip style
Grip size
How to determine the perfect shaft:
Build it around the golfer’s technique and height
Try different weight to see which one feels right for you (not correct)
Look at the ball’s flight and lie angle
Take wrist to floor measurements
When finding your grip size:
Measure the size of your hands
Look at the shape of the golfer’s shot
