| If you are a beginner or a mid/high handicapper, you will experience greater results from a "real" custom fitting, ........... not the 30-60 minute "whiz-bang" so called fitting like the Big Box Stores offer. There is a whole lot more to fitting than measuring your swing speed, then swinging a club marked on the grip for length testing, and a quick loft and/or lie angle adjustment. That's 3 variables ............ what about the other 18 variables? Waiting months or years until you "groove" your swing is a huge mistake! You're developing your swing around clubs that will not perform optimally with YOUR swing attributes. Then you get "fitted" and you may have problems. It really is best to be fitted and buy all means ........ lessons, practice, lessons, practice! Take lessons from a qualified PGA Professional, please! They are the Swing Professionals. You NEED to see an Equipment Professional as myself to have your equipment set up for YOUR swing attributes! A scratch/low handicap golfer?........ It's all about FEEL! Enhance the feel of your existing clubs or a new set of clubs tailor fitted to your swing. What's the biggest difference between the OED's (Original Equipment Designs) that I offer and the "Big Names"? The quality OED companies that I represent do not have, or pay, the millions of dollars in big endorsement and advertising contracts to the professional tour players. The cost of those endorsement contracts gets passed on to you, the consumer, as any smart business would do! The "Big Name" clubs are good, no doubt about it! But they are not "better" then anything that I offer and they are definitely not "fit" to you and your swing, even if you received a "watered down" so called fitting from a big retailer! I start by analyzing your golf game and style of play. If you are "local", the next function is the measurement and analysis of your current equipment using my state of the art club analysis equipment. You are welcome to send me your clubs for analysis if you wish. I look at influencing factors such as launch angle, swing path, back and side spin, swing speed, transition, tempo, and a few more factors. Locally, I will analyze your swing with video, frame by frame, to make the best equipment recommendations. I will be the golf equipment professional that fits and assembles your new custom clubs for you, not a high school or college kid with "this year's summer job". The brand name of the club heads is what many golfers seem to focus on and that is exactly what the "Big Name" golf companies count on! Do you really think the "One size fits all" clubs that you see and can purchase in the big chain stores are even close to what the Tour Pros use? Not even close! Should I not have the exact head, shaft, or grip you desire, I have 24-72 hour access to many of the same "Big Names" like Aldila, UST, Grafalloy, Fujikura, Lamkin, Golf Pride, or Winn. After you have had your new custom fitted golf clubs assembled, you will play better golf and enjoy the game of golf a lot more! |
