CUSTOM FIT YOUR GOLF CLUBS

Do you ever feel like one or more of your golf clubs are just impossible to hit? Do one or more of your golf clubs feel completely alien to the rest? The reason could be explained by the manufacturing assembly imperfections of the golf clubs that you have. When manufacturers produce golf clubs there is a large range of forgiveness in the quality control. This is due to the vast volumes of production needed. The properties of the equipment can differ from club to club and thus produce an incorrect difference needed between each golf club. A must for all players is having their lie angle, loft, swing weight and shaft settings checked.
Video Demo on why not to purchase golf clubs from whole sale companies

LIE ANGLE:

The lie angle of the golf club head is the most crucial factor in deadly accuracy. If your lie angle at impact is not correct with each club it causes poor direction and in turn this can cause negative thoughts and lack of confidence and commitment to making the golf shot you want.

LOFT:

The loft and shaft length between each golf clubs is what determines produces the distance difference between each golf club. In a perfect setting ( you strike the golf ball out the middle of the club with a straight ball flight )all your irons should have a distance difference of between 8 and 12 meters/yards. Normally this requires the loft to differ by about 4 degrees and the shaft length to differ by about 1/2 an inch per club. So if your 8 iron has a loft of 40 deg & length of 36 inches, then your 9 iron should have loft of 44 deg & a length of 35&1/2 inches. Similarly your 7 iron should have a loft of 36 deg & a length of 37&1/2 inches. This will create the correct distance difference between each club. If your golf clubs lofts are not correct, you may find that certain golf clubs go the same distance or only have a difference of a few meters/yards

SWING WEIGHT:

The swing weight is important to help improve control of the golf club in your golf swing. The stronger and faster you are, the heavier your swing weight needs to be. The weaker and slower your swing, the lighter your swing weight needs to be. When you purchase a set of golf clubs from a wholesaler these swing weights are not consistent through the set. This can cause some clubs to feel alien and difficult to hit and some that are just perfect. These perfect feeling golf clubs probably have the correct swing weight specifications for you and the rest of your set does not mach these clubs.

SHAFT SETTINGS:

The golf shaft is the connection from the body to the golf club head. This is your link to hitting a golf ball and is the most important feature of a golf club. You can take the worst golf club heads in the world, match them up with the correct shafts and produce flawless golf club capability. If you watch the club fitting video demo (click the link under "SHAFT SETTINGS")you will see exactly what even tour professionals receive from the "TOUR DEPARTMENT". If the TOUR DEPARTMENT gets it wrong i can promise you that the factories are miles out when assembling golf club sets together for the public.

 I received a new set of golf clubs from a "TOUR DEPARTMENT" once and hated them. They felt different and inconsistent so i took them to my club maker Bary. Club Masters. He checked my golf clubs for me and they were all completely different. Unfortunately he had to replace nearly every shaft and i had to pay a small fortune for the costs. This is what you too risk doing when purchasing a set of clubs from a discount wholesaler.

I hope that after reading this post you have a better understanding of why not to purchase golf clubs from wholesalers and why you will enjoy your game far more if you see a certified club master when thinking of purchasing golf equipment. If you have a set of clubs and would like to get them custom fit just speak to your local golf professional or club master to see what they can do for you. If you need any info on how to locate a certified club master in your area don't hesitate to ask and i will be more than happy to provide the relative information.

Stay Custom Fit!!!
