As a golf instructor for the last 20+ years, I would not teach a person with clubs that did not fit them. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t give them lessons. They would just use one of my fitting clubs while they were …
A Common Concern From Higher Handicaps
The comment I receive most is from the mid to higher handicap golfer who thinks that they are not good enough to be fit for golf clubs. This is just not the case. The truth is that they are the types of golfer who will benefit most from a real clubfitting. A good player has the skill set to be able to adapt their game better to ill-fitting clubs. They usually don’t do this as the good player …
What does Gap fit mean when fitting golf clubs?
What does Gap fit mean when fitting golf clubs? Do you have too many golf clubs in your bag that go to the same distance?

Fortunately, nowadays we have very lightweight materials that can be used and there are a lot of clubs that are good for …
