Clubfitting


What clubs do I need to get fitted?

In short every club you use needs to be fitted to you.

My starting point is to find out the specifications of the client as this is the most important aspect of purchasing a new set of of clubs.

I don't usually start with a specific brand of club (unless that is what the client is looking for).

Clubfits can last for up to an hour and sometimes we made need to have several sessions.

Clubfitting involves taking various measurements and observations and use various fitting tools as fitting clubs, launch monitors, face and lie tape, tape measures etc.

At Morack we use the FlightScope Launch monitor for fitting. In addition we use the Ping NFlight Software which has been developed by Ping to fit Ping golf clubs.

It is rare at the end of a club fitting session that I will say XYZ is the set of clubs for you. Generally, I will advise you of specific features you need to look for in a club and these features can be found in the following sets of clubs....

When I fit clients for their golf clubs here is a list of things I consider.
