What Information You Should Take From a Golf Club Fitting
It is very important that you have a proper golf club
fitting before you buy your next set of irons. Many golf
professionals are well trained into how to fit a student
properly. You need to know what to expect as well as the
important topics that should be covered in the golf club
fitting session.
When meeting with your club fitter during your golf club
fitting session, you need to discuss your skill level. Be
honest! Do not feel intimidated or overwhelmed as the club
fitter is there to help you. The results will be revealed
during your session anyway. In addition, the two of you
should discuss what your specific goals are with your golf
game. This can help determine which iron head may perform
the best for you.
You should arrive with an idea of what type of iron head
that you like by how it looks as well as how it feels. If
you look down and do not like what you see, you typically
will not perform well.
Once you have decided on which clubhead you like during your
and the one that will help you achieve you golf goals after
your golf club fitting, you need to find the correct shaft
flex. This will be where the expertise of the club fitter
will greatly help you. Golf shafts typically come in a
variety of flexes such as ladies, senior, regular, stiff and
extra stiff. Manufacturers will call these different names
as sometimes egos get in the way. I have always said that if
the club had a pink and green shaft that made the ball go at
the hole that club would be in my bag. Due to many different
factors, such as swing speed, and how you deliver the golf
club to the ball, the golf shaft prescribed may not be what
you originally were thinking or have been playing. Make your
decision on how the golf ball performs not on what the shaft
says.
The shaft material for the set of irons can be made of steel
or graphite. Unless you have any injury to your shoulders
elbows or wrists, steel is typically the better choice. With
recent technology, manufacturers are now able to produce
very light steel shafts that are able to improve your game.
During the golf club fitting, the club fitter will also be
able to find the proper lie angle for your new set of irons.
The lie angle is simply the angle that is created where the
shaft and the head meet. As you are looking the face of an
iron, the lie angle is the bottom right corner of the club
head. Most golf club fittings falls between two degrees flat
and two degrees upright. Some companies have color-coded
this in an effort to make it easier for the consumers and
fitters.
During your golf club fitting, your fitter will also fit you
for the proper size for your golf grip. You will also have
the options of a total rubber grip, a rubber grip with a
half-cord and a rubber grip with a full cord.
With this information, you will be able to get the most out
of your golf club fitting.
