Why Custom Fitting?

It is a proven fact that whether you are a beginner or a PGA Touring Professional, properly fit golf equipment will give you the best chance to play your best. Improvement in most cases is immediate.

1. How do you know if you are purchasing the correct equipment?It can be very confusing in the marketplace, there are so many variables involved in purchasing golf clubs in today’s marketplace. How does the average golfer know which clubs are best for him or her? There are innumerable vendors including: Titleist, Cobra, Nike, Taylor-Made, Adams, Calloway, Cleveland, Mizuno and many more. There are so many types of clubs including: drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, iron styles, wedges and putters. Then there is the club model, shaft make, shaft material, shaft type, shaft flex, shaft length, shaft weight, grip type, grip size, and set combination just to name a few of the important variables necessary to determine the clubs that are right for you. Nowadays, you even have adjustable weight club heads; draw bias, fade or neutral clubfaces; and stock shafts versus an enormous number of after-market specialty shafts. How can anyone know if they are purchasing the right golf equipment with all of these variables?

   The clear and unconditional answer is custom equipment fitting at The Golf Academy. Allow one of our TGA Certified Fitting Professionals to demonstrate the enormous benefits that custom fitting will have on your game. Once you have experienced the difference and immediate impact of true custom fitting in our state-of-the-art facility you will realize it’s not the brand, it’s the fit!

2. Custom Clubs Cost the Same as Stock ClubsWhether you purchase a stock set of clubs “off-the-rack” or you are fit for a custom set of clubs built to your individual specifications, you generally will pay the same amount. Custom fit golf clubs do not cost any more than “off-the-rack” clubs, unless the shaft we are recommending is an upgrade. Our pricing is competitive to any large off-course retailer.
3. All Players benefit from Custom Fitting (even beginners).Many beginning golfers have a mistaken opinion that custom fitting is only beneficial to the more experienced or better golfer. This is absolutely wrong! Properly fit golf equipment will substantially benefit golfers of all ability levels. Golf is challenging enough on its own. Why make it even harder? Properly fit equipment in terms of club model, shaft type, shaft length, shaft flex, set composition, and much more makes the game significantly easier to learn. If you are playing with golf equipment that is too long, too stiff, or has too little loft, learning the game can be extremely frustrating. Moreover, you can develop serious swing flaws and bad habits from compensating for improper equipment that will inhibit your learning process and game improvement for years. If you were going to purchase a $50 pair of shoes or a $30 pair of pants or a $25 T-shirt, what is the first thing you would do? You would try the item on and make sure it fits. Now why wouldn’t you apply this same concept when you might be spending significantly more money on golf equipment? You need to try-on your golf equipment before you purchase anything and make sure it fits. Properly fit golf equipment will cost the same as an “off-the-rack” set of clubs and it will substantially benefit all golfers no matter their age, experience, gender, and handicap or ability level.

Why is club fitting so important?

• • A lie angle that is 2 degrees off equates to a shot 20’ off the target line
  • Short irons are even more effected then long irons making it harder to develop a good short game.
