The Importance Of Custom Fitting Golf Clubs
Regardless of how much golf training a golfer receives, one sure way to see some game improvement and play a great game each time is to consider the custom fitting of their golf clubs. This involves a quick self assessment of their game and some simple measurements. Once this information is known clubs can be easily custom fitted.
The gender must be given so that they can be put in the appropriate fitting scale for males or females. The height of the player and the distance from their wrist down to the floor are used to determine what length the club should be. The swing speed, the age and the skill level along with which club is used at the one hundred and fifty yards indicator are used to find out their correct shaft flex.
Whether or not a golfer has clubs that are the correct length determines how they play. This is discovered by measuring the length between the butt end of the grip and where it touches the ground. Although it is more difficult to get good control, longer ones will hit further.
The shaft flex refers to the ability that a golf shaft has to bend, as forces are applied to it during the swing according to if the swing is slow, fast, smooth or bumpy. Lie adjustments are also done in custom fitting and this involves bending the hardened metal in which an iron is cast.
The lie angle must be properly fitted for each player because it is a factor that determines how accurate a shot is. Hybrids, putters and woods are not adjustable because of the way the socket in the head of a club where the shaft is attached, is cast.
These clubs will get damaged if the heads are bent in any way. Golfers who are not satisfied with their game can opt for golf clubs that are custom fitted. This will change the way they play and each game will be great.
