Introduction

Golf is a sport that requires a combination of skills, mental focus, and the right equipment. When it comes to equipment, golfers often focus on buying the latest driver or the best golf balls. However, the most important piece of equipment is the golf club. The right club can make a huge difference in a golfer’s performance. That’s why club fitting is such an important aspect of the game of golf. In this article, we’ll go over what to expect during a club fitting session.

What is a Club Fitter?

A club fitter is a professional who specializes in analyzing a golfer’s swing and recommending the best golf clubs for their specific needs. A club fitter takes into consideration factors such as a golfer’s height, weight, swing speed, swing style, and more to determine the perfect clubs for them.

The Fitting Process


When you visit Swingfit, you can expect to spend anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour getting fit for your clubs. The process typically involves the following steps:

Assessment of your current clubs: The club fitter will examine your current set of clubs and analyze the specifications, such as loft, lie angle, and shaft flex.

Swing analysis: The club fitter will use a launch monitor to analyze your swing and gather data about your ball flight, clubhead speed, and more.

Recommendations: Based on the data collected from your swing analysis, the club fitter will recommend the best clubs for your swing, taking into consideration factors such as loft, shaft flex, and lie angle. 

Testing: The club fitter will have you test out different clubs to see how they perform and make adjustments as necessary.
