Getting Custom Fitted For Golf Clubs
Equipment, Tips & Advice May 6th, 2007If you have become a more experienced golfer, and have the money to spend, a custom-fitted set of clubs may be the next step in perfecting your game. There are many manufacturers and golf specialty stores that offer custom golf clubs and you will have many choices if this is the route you choose to go. This article will give you some information on what a custom fitted set of golf clubs will provide.
First, you can select your own club head design. If you have played for a while, you will sense what style of head design fits you best. There are many options, including oversize, traditional, offset, lower center of gravity and toe-heel weighted club heads. There are also, of course, choices in material, from stainless steel to wood
You will also customize your club shafts. Graphite will give you more flexibility, while steel is designed for players looking for more distance and less accuracy.
Your club head speed will be next. If you have a very fast swing, you will want an extra stiff shaft. If your swing is smoother, a regular flex will be best. Most custom fitters will provide you with a grid of miles per hour, so you can determine the best club head speed for you.
Depending on your height, the custom clubs will have varying shaft lengths. A shaft length that matches your height will allow you more comfort.
Last but not least, the grip. The grip size of your club is an extremely important factor in a custom built set of clubs. An incorrect grip size will cause you to strike the ball everywhere except at the proper place of contact. A proper grip will greatly improve your game.
Golf clubs are a very personal choice, and should fit each player. While custom clubs are expensive, you may want to make the investment, especially if you are become more dedicated to the game.
