shrader Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've been telling myself that I'm going to buy some new sticks one of these decades (truth be told I kind of enjoy beating my buddies and their fancy new clubs with my 20 year old rust-spotted mix'n'match specials;-).What is a "fitting", who does it, what does it entail, where do you have it done, etc? Cya 613242[/snapback] Any respectable pro/pro shop should offer fittings. It can be done in a few different ways. Some people will just measure your height, arm length, and other things like that. A good place will do that and also have you hit a few clubs. They want to make sure the clubs are the right length, have the right shafts, and other more technical things. It may not sound like much, but it can make a whole world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can really design clubs shaft, and even balls to match the style of play and your swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was Fitted at the ping plant here in Phoenix. You hit several dozen balls while they measure the angle of the club. The length of the shaft, the speed and several other aspects of your game. You need to supply info as to whether you play a draw or a fade, etc... Everybody should be fit so that their equipment matches the style of their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
