One thing I intend to do this year is get a professional club fitting. I guess I should add that to my to-do list. Aaaaaaand done. Anyway, years ago when I first started playing, the pro at the club I worked at took some general measurements for me that I still go with today (and I mean really general). I play my irons +1/2″ in length and with grips that are slightly fatter than standard. Over the years, I discovered new things. Mainly that I also get benefit from having my irons bent a degree or so upright. I’ve also found that I like to play an off the shelf driver with a stiff shaft.
These little nuggets of information have been cobbled together over time, mostly from observation and not from scientific analysis. Over the years, I keep reading about all the new-fangled technology that gets employed like launch analysis and high-speed cameras and the like and I’ve been intrigued but have never taken the plunge. Meanwhile virtually everything I read tells me that a professional club fitting can really add benefit to my game. Especially if all my non-scientific specs are a little off.
As I was going in the pro-shop at my new club, I saw a poster saying that a club fitter from Titleist is coming in May (at least I thought that’s what it said…I was more interested in signing up for a membership). That sounds like the perfect opportunity. Maybe I’ll discover that my specs are just fine, but maybe I’ll find out that I’m spending hour upon hour swimming against the current. Well, I’m going and maybe you should think about it too. I’ll post the findings next month.
