What Is A Club Fitting ?
Club fitting is a process used to customize golf clubs to best suit a golfer's individual swing characteristics, physical attributes, and playing style. The goal of club fitting is to optimize a golfer's performance by ensuring that the clubs they use are specifically tailored to their needs and abilities.
What happens during a fitting?
-
Swing Analysis: The club fitter will observe the golfer's swing, looking at factors such as swing speed, swing path, club face angle, and ball flight.
-
Player Assessment: The golfer's physical attributes, including height, arm length, hand size, and posture, are taken into account to determine the appropriate club specifications.
-
Shaft Selection: The club fitter will help the golfer choose the right type and flex of the shaft that matches their swing speed and tempo.
-
Clubhead Selection: Based on the swing analysis, the appropriate clubhead design, loft, and lie angle are determined to achieve optimal launch conditions and accuracy.
-
Grip Selection: The golfer's hand size and grip preference are considered to select the most suitable grip.
-
Club Length: The club fitter will determine the ideal length of the clubs to ensure proper posture and consistent ball striking.
