This is a very good explanation of what custom fitting golf clubs is all about and why it can benefit you. He explains how golfers differ in terms of body type and swing that is very helpful.
He does a very good job of sketching out the fact that real, thorough custom fitting of all 25 + fitting parameters can make a big impact on a player’s game. The details of how it is done, though, can really be impressive. Little things like adjusting swing path by weighting and balancing clubs properly. That can help reduce or eliminate slicing. You only get such details from a clubfitting professional who spends hours with you on the many details that go into really tailoring clubs to you.
Great info. However, I am wondering about the fact that even the best of golfers bring different swings to the course daily. How can one who is developing their swing/changing their swing benefit from custom fitting? One day I hit straight. The next it’s a slice. Then its a draw. I’ve noted that it’s not the club. It’s the ned swinging it.
Custom fitting for the best lengths, lofts, total weight, swingweight, grip size for a beginning golfer will make it easier to learn the proper swing moves, from which more consistency comes. Once you get to a point where your shot mistakes are a little more consistent, then the rest of the fitting elements become more important.
