If you are reading this, you know that every golfer has a different golf swing. Do you know that this also depends upon their body shape and size? It would be wonderful for your equipment to match you, wouldn’t it?
A custom golf club fitting can get you clubs that suit your height, swing style, and strength. Without a proper fit, you may not achieve your best performance. A custom club fitting from an experienced club fitter is a great investment. Here are 5 important flaws custom club fitting can help you eliminate from your game.
Incorrect shaft flex
Use the wrong shaft flex in your golf clubs can impact your game to a great extent.If the shaft is too stiff for your swing speed, you may notice lower ball flight and less distance. Your shot might feel less stable and harsh, even on center hits. On the other hand, if your club shaft is too flexible, you may be seeing too-high ball flight and less distance, even when the feel is better, with more solid contact.
Incorrect length
A golf club that is not the right length for you can destroy your game on the course. When you buy a club, don’t forget to check the shaft length in its specifications. Average golfers may feel confident with a shorter club as they can get larger distance and hit the ball more cleanly.
Wrong lie angle
Lie angle, or the angle between the ground line and shaft, can affect the accuracy of your shots. A club, whose lie angles do not suit your swing or body type,will cost you strokes. A club that is too upright can make your shots travel left of target, while a club that is too flat can send them to the right.
Wrong loft
Every club has a loft – the upward angle that club face has. When the club is tilted in a single direction, the loft (otherwise angled straight up) becomes tilted to one side or another. An incorrect loft can make you lose backspin, trajectory, and distance.
Wrong grip size
A wrongly-sized golf grip can prevent you from working correctly in a golf swing. Too small, and your hands will become too active. This can result in inconsistency, early release of the club, and greater shot dispersion. On the other hand, a thick grip doesn’t let the hands release effectively at impact and can cause a block, slice, or push.
