Smart Fitting With Personal Results

Think about your swing with its individual characteristics. Compare your physical dimensions, your strength, your setup and posture and of course the way that you take the club back and bring it back through the strike zone to any of your other partners. In fact compare it to your own swing of 20 years ago!

When I sit with you, I see exactly you. I dont see that golfer of 20 years ago or any other player in your fourball, or myself. I then build a solution that will enable you to have a better golf game immediately.

And that solution needs thought. Its not a simple matter of a wrist to floor measurement and your handicap to decide that you need a " longer shaft in a set of stiff flex shafts with a muscle-back club head.

Heres a simple illustration. Lets consider a slightly older golfer who has seen his handicap slip from 9 to 17 over the last 5 years. This mirrors the naturally declining swing speed and strength. This will impact on both the length and height of iron shots. Id also like you to imagine that this golfer is a little shorter in height than average.

In any fitting that we are doing with this golfer we need to make sure that we make it easier to increase the club head speed without reducing the likelihood of making solid contact with the golf ball.

In many cases an obvious option for this golfer is to go with a lighter, probably softer shaft. A less obvious option, but one worth examining, would be to look at a " or " longer shaft than normally fits this golfer. The slightly longer shaft would generate, through natural physics, a faster club head speed, and therefore greater distance.

Of course the slightly longer shaft would increase the chances of missing the sweet spot at contact, so finding a club head with an oversized face (and a larger hitting zone) and a higher MOI (to ensure distance and accuracy when the ball is struck off-centre) would be a good idea.

Mark Twain stated that Golf is a good walk spoiled. This has proven to be correct from my perspective on most occasions on the links and Im sure many or, perhaps, most other participants would agree. The game has, nonetheless, remained firmly entrenched in our world of sports and something is needed to commemorate our association with this fixation of ours. Thats where golf gift Baskets fit in.
