There is so much misinformation about custom fitting.
Lots of retailers claim to offer custom fitting, but actually they are only offering a
very poor watered down version.
True custom fitting simply cannot be achieved by filling in an online form, or by taking
a few static measurements and then concluding you need clubs 1” longer than standard
and 2* more upright. Firstly there is no standard length, lie or loft in golf – take a
look at the table below:
| Manufacturer |
Model |
Length |
Lie |
Loft |
| Mizuno |
MP67 |
37.25 |
61 |
32 |
| Ping |
S57 |
37.25 |
61.5 |
30.5 |
| Titleist |
AP1 |
37.50 |
62.5 |
29 |
| Callaway |
X-20 |
37.50 |
62 |
30 |
No one club is the same specification:
- a Titleist is 1.5* more upright than a Mizuno
- a Ping 0.25” shorter than a Callaway
- and as for the lofts, it’s no wonder you’re a club shorter than your playing partner!
Also from this simple static fit how does it address the following:
- What stiffness (frequency) of shaft best suits you?
- What happens if "Stiff" is too stiff but "Regular" is too soft?
- What weight of shaft best suits you, to give you the best contact and flight?
- What balance point of shaft (i.e. where the weight is in the shaft) best suits your swing, tempo and release?
- What head design and sole grind is best suited to your swing and future development?
- What swingweight of club best suits you?( i.e. how heavy the head feels)
As you can see a simple 20 minute session cannot address these issues.
True custom fitting is working one-on-one with a
trained custom clubmaker,
building clubs to your exact specifications – If you need clubs between regular and stiff this isn’t a problem for a trained clubmaker.
The one-to-one clubfitting process offered by Custom Golf Studio uses the
advanced technology of
Trackman ™ and qualified ClubFitter experience to answer
all the questions above, and then to make the clubs to the highest standard.
