hue Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Joe and others : How do you go about determining the ideal club length when club fitting? What measurements do you take? Is this a science or a matter of opinion? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightrider Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Most people use a swingweight chart. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourGolfJeff Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hue, A good clubmaker/fitter will have a player hit balls using a number of different length clubs to determine which ones he hits most consistently. The length that best suits will provide consistent impacts, hopefully in the center of the face. As length changes, the fitter will make lie adjsutments to match. This "dynamic" fitting is the only way to accurately determine club length. Charts are a starting point, but there is no substitute for hit testing to determine proper length & lie.

joey3108 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 To add a little bit what Jeff said, Common sense not to push a customers to the extreme if he or she is not comfortable on the lenght changes. Making them understand why is the key to make the customers except the changes. If neccessary I ussually take a video of their address possition and swing to see the changes on their swing and set up. Most of the time we can tell from their posture at address possition and we'll work slowly from there, Mentally and technically! Discussion during fitting is important to get the feel where the customers fall to their comfort level. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
