Custom Golf Clubs
Go ahead and relax and try to take in every word
I'm about to tell you. Every golfer's physical abilityand swing is unique. Many of today's finest golfclubs can be custom fit for lie edge, shaft type
and size, grip type and size.
Custom fitting golf clubs involves some easy measurements and a fast self-assessment of your game. This custom golf club has become more than a fad that even not so educated
golfers test its waters.
Custom fitting is the procedure for tailoring a golfclub to accommodate your individual swing.
Whatever your level, with a custom golf club theaim is to guarantee that if you do make a adequate
swing, the club will be square at impact and should generate a direct shot.
Custom Golf Club How To's:
To custom fit your golf clubs, you want to know: your gender (male or female); your height in your
stockings or socks; the distance from your wrist (where it bends) to the floor with your shoes off; your
age; your handicap or expertise level; how quick you swing a golf club; what club you use at the 150
yard marker.
Gender is used to put you into the right fitting scale for custom golf clubs. The golf industry
uses different definitions of "standard length" for men and women.
Your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to conclude
the length of a custom golf club that is suitable
for you. The starting mark for club length can change up to 3-inch ranging from ladies to men plus 1-inch.
A tall individual with long arms can very easily order shorter clubs than an norm height
individual with short arms. around 80 percent of golfers are standard length.
Your age, handicap (if you happen to have one), self-assessed skill level, estimated golf swing speed and club
you use at the 150 yard marker are all combined to determined the custom golf club's shaft flex that
is appropriate for you.
Custom fitting can fix your slice. If you slice the ball it means that the toe of the club is leading
into the ball which opens the face of the club. That may be down to a swing fault, but it could
be because the club is too flat.
So as part of the custom fitting process you can make the custom golf club more upright to help with this. This will mean that the toe of the club will be a
little off the ground at address to compensate.
There are different methods of fitting according to custom golf club
manufacturers but fundamentally they are all trying to improve your game. To begin with
easy measurements such as wrist-to-floor, height and hand size are taken and will point you to the
right size club and at what angle it should be to the ground.
Then you will take a club and hit some balls. One way is to place impact tape on the bottom of the custom golf
club and an impact board on the floor.
As you hit the ball the board will leave a impression on the tape showing whether the heel or the toe
of the custom golf club is striking the floor first. The resulting spot will display whether the club
face needs to be flatter or more upright. Then things get a bit more advanced.
Analysis equipment can measure everything from your club speed to the side spin of the ball so that you can get most
distance from your shot. You can also measure the launch angle of the
ball, how much backspin you generate and impact efficiency - all which affect distance.
The angle in which the custom golf club approaches the ball and the sidespin of it can help fix your
game too. Rather than bringing down your old clubs, it might be better to start from scratch. It's a big miss judgment
that custom fitting is only for good golfers.
Anyone can benefit. That said, if you plan to upgrade a new set of clubs with the same manufacturer they
may be able to adjust your old set to become custom golf clubs.
Custom fitting won't cure all your bad shots. Coaching will sort that out. But if you do put together a
good swing, then the custom golf club will arrive
correctly at impact and should develop a straight shot at your target. That alone will save shots during
a round.
Lastly, custom fitting is usually free of charge. But it is most often on the circumstance that you
buy some clubs once you've been fitted. So it really depends on what your budget is. If you're ready to buy
a new set of clubs it's certainly worth getting fitted.
I hope you have gotten some good ideas from this article and that you are able to use them.
