Your golf game will improve with a set of custom golf clubs because you will have equipment that is specifically made not only to your unique physical characteristics but also to your playing abilities.
Need Proof?
Studies done by Golf.com over 18 months have shown dramatic results for those golfers fit with custom golf clubs:
"More than 90 percent of the test cases reported improved performance with their custom-fit clubs. Mid-handicappers lowered their handicap by two or more strokes on average within a few short months.Elite players aren't necessarily scoring better (it's difficult to drop it much when you hover near scratch), but they're seeing greater consistency. Many players who were fitted strike their new clubs up to one full club longer with irons and 10 to 20 more yards on drives. They're having more fun playing the game, too. A poll of golf.com readers reveals similar satisfaction levels." - from Golf.com
People Are Like Snowflakes, No Two Are Alike
Consider these differences between golfers:
In general, women golfers are shorter than male golfers and likely to have smaller hands and not swing as fast, therefore requiring more flexible shafts and smaller grips.
Golfers who are older may suffer from hand or joint related pain and may require grips that might be larger and softer. They may also need graphite shafts to help dampen some of the unwanted vibration at impact.
Golfers who are beginning or are less skilled should have different equipment than those who can strike the ball in the middle of the face on a consistent basis.
If you score is high, then you should seek as much game-improvement features into the clubs as possible.
Shorter golfers generally need shorter clubs and taller golfers more length.
All of these factors must be taken into account when purchasing a set of golf clubs. By properly fitting the golfer according their size, needs and ability the best possible golf set will be created yielding the lowest scores.
