The Benefits Of Custom Fitting Golf Clubs

By Tom Doerr


Recently, more people have had their golf clubs custom fitted. This is because having them designed perfectly for a player enhances his or her skill. It is effectively altered in relation to that person's unique playing style. In addition, one of the best things about it is that the adjustments can be made to the existing instruments a player has.

The exact details of custom fitting revolve around personal swing styles as well as height and build. Professional players have been doing it for years already. During this time, manufacturers have also been improving the products sold to the general public. This has helped greatly, but the problem is that any general design is still a generic design, and cannot cater to one's exact style.

Custom fitting can be done at most pro shops, fitting centers, and specialist stores. What happens is that the person is made to hit a few balls. As he or she swings, a computer known as a launch monitor details and analyzes the swings.

Once the customer has completed this process, the launch monitor will show its findings. These findings are an analysis of the customer's swing style. It shows suggestions regarding how that person's instruments need to be modified to best suit the swing style, even detailing the necessary angle adjustments. All in all, this whole process takes less than half an hour.

Depending on what the player's strengths, swing style, and weaknesses are, the launch monitor also shows what fits best. This effectively shows which instruments to choose if the player buys more in the future.

Having one's own golf clubs custom fitted will usually cost a small fee. This price is not static, however. In addition, if the fitting is done on new clubs, there is often no additional fee. The fitting is then considered part of the purchase.
