The Importance of a Custom Club Fitting

The Importance of a Custom Club Fitting

Improved wedge game

The loft on your wedges is very crucial to your overall wedge game, and a custom fitting helps you to ensure that the loft gaps are consistent. A great idea is getting the bounce of your wedges customized to your playing environment. More bounce for instance goes well with soft sand courses, while less bounce is ideal for firmer fairways and rough sand.

More consistent shots and performance

Inconsistent shots on the course mostly come from inefficient strikes, erratic impact, and misdirection. A custom fitting fixes all these problems, correcting aspects like wrong weight and shaft length to solve off-center shots. Inconsistent patterns at impact can be sorted by fixing the club face angle and adjusting the club to a player’s swing speed. 

Fewer misses

How does it feel when you are so close to the hole and then you miss that golden putt? It can lower your confidence but the good news is that it might have nothing to do with your skill but rather your putter. A custom fitting quickly establishes whether your putter’s face lacks the required squareness needed for straight shots. This applies to every other club in your bag.

Enhanced confidence

There is a certain swagger that comes with wearing a tailor-made suit that has been customized to fit your every physical attribute. The same goes for a custom club fitting that enables you to play with clubs that have been tailored to suit your qualities. This inspires confidence and results in a more fun game and better performance.

Saves money

Some rich folks don’t mind buying every new over-marketed club whenever it hits the store, but for the average golfer, the goal is to master the sport without breaking the bank. A custom fitting cuts to the chase by determining the exact clubs that you need, so you can hold on to one set for as long as necessary.

Final Thoughts

Playing golf without going for a custom fitting can have you going around in hoops without quite unlocking your true potential on the course. Some players have thrown in the towel and shelved their golf ambition due to frustrations, yet a custom club fitting and getting the right clubs would have solved it in one click. Getting new clubs is fine, but first, ensure you know which clubs are right for you.
