Custom Golf Club Fitting
The only real chance a golfer has now to improve their game and to maximise their performance is to have true custom built or fitted golf clubs. Only 2-3 % of Golfers play with golf clubs that are truly custom fitted This is because most golfers know next to nothing about how to pick a golf club to maximise there strength and minimise their weaknesses. Clubs are bought because of its logo, cost, cosmetic looks and what an advert promises you will happen when you swing this club. In a survey of 2000 Golfers with various handicaps asking what constitutes 'custom fitting'. The majority considered using golf clubs from an OEM (Original equipment manufactory, ie Callaway, Taylor Made etc) fitting cart on a demo day custom fitting. They were not aware, or even made aware that fitting carts offer normally no more than three variables in the respect of lie angle, flex and possibly length. Others felt that filling out a questionnaire on a website constituted being custom fitted. Unfortunately this does not even come close to a real custom fitting. OEM fittings take anything from 15 minutes to normally a maximum of 1 hour to fit someone unfortunately this does not even scratch the surface of what true custom fitting by a Professional Golf clubmaker and fitter can do. OEM fittings also fit you to the clubs that are already made. Professionally fitted clubs are not already made they are built to your spec from scratch. Each golfers swing, strength and size
is checked practically on the golf range using a wide assortment
of clubheads, shafts and grips available, unlike the OEM clubs
which are produced in a factory production line and contracted
to only use certain shafts and grips with each particular brand
of club. In comparison to the 3 variables found by an OEM fitting Cart a Clubfitter will look at Twenty two. Namely
The Club fitting system we use Our system is derived from what is know as the
'practical club fitting' method which most top club fitting experts
currently use. Our system is continuously evolving and reviewed.
It is rational and comprehensive and achieves the best results.
Step 1 A personal interview and present golf club evaluation An introductory interview is conducted so that
we can get to know you, discuss your game, determine your aspirations
and assess your current equipment, if any. You will also get to
know us. Step 2 The Dynamic Fitting This we feel is one of the most important parts
of the fitting process. Dynamic fitting is where we get you to
hit numerous balls using a large variety of fitting clubs we have
in our arsenal. Saying this we don't like to confuse maters by
giving you loads and loads of different clubs to try we concentrate
on the clubs that will fit your unique swing. Clubhead designs: Clubheads have developed so fast over the last
10 years and choosing one can be easy. Most Golfers buy clubs because
of their cosmetic looks, particular name embossed on it, because
their idol uses it, or the price. As a general rule the average man swings a driver at 86 mph he would need a driver of at least 13 degrees angle to be most effective. What is the angle of your driver? Shafts, Shafts and more shafts: Shafts like club heads have there own characteristics some would suit your swing many others would not. We are not only talking about flex we are also talking about weight, bed point, kick point and in graphite shafts torque (twisting of the shaft). We are not governed by what shaft we put in your clubs and have a vast amount to choose from to ensure we get one to best suit your unique swing. People talk about fitting shafts as a science, which it is; we also treat it as an Art, after all, what is good for one player may not work for another as we all swing the golf club differently. Get a Grip. There are also a vast amount of grips on the market and once again we are not governed by the type of grip we can put on your clubs. We like to fit grips for comfort and size so you muscle s are relaxed allowing a smooth swing. Far too often golfers tend to grip clubs too tight and destroy their rhythm as a consequence. Set Make up How many golfers can hit a 1,2,3 or 4 iron well? Consistently well? If you can you should look at taking up golf full time. Nearly all the top pros are now playing hybrids or Utility clubs. By design long irons have become almost impossible to hit well as they are too long and don't have enough loft. So why not have a putter, 3 wedges, PW through to 5 iron, a couple of Hybrids to replace your 3 and 4 iron, a driver and you have still got room for 2 more woods. Step 3 The assembled Golf Club Custom Fitted to you. It is now up to us to assemble your clubs from the information we have collected. They will be precisely matched, measured and cut to length, frequency tuned and swing-weighted or swing Moment of Inertia matched to match your unique swing. This is all done in our workshop and not on a production line. The Club maker will take pride in making an ultimate set of golf clubs for a golfers unique Golf swing. After service Once we supply your Golf Clubs the fitting does
not necessarily stop there. Of course you are our customer but
we view you more as a client. We encourage feedback and your clubs
may occasionally need fine adjustments to make sure they are still
an exact fit, so retaining an interest in you and The Client will then have a set of clubs that will provide the highest ball speed with the most optimum Launch angle that are unique to their swing. Finally some Facts: According to a study by National Golf Foundation (NGF) THREE MILLION people leave the game of golf each year. The underlying problem was that the game was to difficult!! Many did not realize that 'they' made it difficult for themselves by trying to manage with inappropriate equipment. We all know golf is not easy especially if we are perfectionists but it can still be enjoyed at all levels and success never came easy to anyone. Custom Fitted golf clubs are for ALL golfers.
A Golf Professional can skillfully swing their golf clubs well,
they do this with clubs that are custom fitted to them, what chance
has the average golfer with equipment that is sold in standard
form off the rack? Clubs suitable for a six foot strong person
will not suit a less able 5 foot person, isn't that obvious? 90 % of golfers have drivers that are too long and don't have enough loft! How many people know that the 3 and 4 iron manufactured in a factory are almost impossible to hit consistently by the average golfer, why are 1 and 2 irons so difficult to get hold of now? Over 50 % of golfers have golf irons that don't fit them. Custom Made Golf clubs are no more expensive than
big brand named clubs bought off the rack, as customers do not
have to foot the bill for expensive advertisements used by the
OEM brands. The quality is also guaranteed as club makers would
not buy components unless they are of superior quality and also
because any club hand built will be scrutinized by the club maker
before being assembled. Using Customised equipment could improve your game up to 25%. We have not come across anyone we have fitted with a set of clubs that have not improved. Click here contact Mark for custom fitting using the contact form in our retail store www.snakeeyes.co.nz/shop
