There is a big difference between custom golf clubs and "custom fitted golf clubs"...
Custom golf clubs are clubs which are made with characteristics different than the norm (i.e. longer/shorter). Custom fit golf clubs are made to a golfer's specific needs determined during a fitting session with a qualified club fitter. At PrecisionFit Golf individual fitting includes using the most modern and accurate tools made for golf swing analysis. A GolfTek Pro-V swing analyzing computer system is used to evaluate a golfer's swing. Data gathered during the 1 to 2 hour session is analyzed by Keith Chatham, PCS and applied to design and selection of a custom fit golf club.
The PrecisionFit Golf Fitting Program is a 6 Step Process:
2. Present Equipment Evaluation
The golfer being fitted is asked to fill out a questionnaire providing the club fitter with information about their attitudes towards their current equipment, their health, their game, and their goals. The golfer provides the club fitter with valuable information about his or her wants and needs.
Keith looks at 10 elements of the irons and 11 of the woods (drivers). Knowing the characteristics of the player's present equipment will help the club fitter see if the golfer has adapted his or her swing to some deficiency in their present golf clubs.
The golfer's swing is analyzed on a GolfTek Pro-V swing analyzing computer, Accusport launch monitor, Zelcity Launch monitor and TWGT Trajectory Profile software. The computer accurately measures and records swing speed, swing path, tempo, club face angle, calculates ball carry and distance and determines swing efficiency.
Keith has many years of experience evaluating a golf swing with the use of computer technology.
Keith will make specific recommendations of equipment needs or necessary alterations based on the golfer's fitting results and the goals the player wants to accomplish.
Selecting the best set make-up for a golfer's game can contribute hugely to helping meet playing goals. What Keith means by set make-up: it's simply the combination of clubs that a player carries in the bag. Some examples of possibilities:
Hybrids - instead of long irons
Blade Irons - for feel and control with short irons
Cavity Back Irons - for control in long irons
Custom Wedges - to suite short game needs
