Custom fit golf clubs give you a distinct advantage in your golf game, at the same time lowering your handicap. Most PGA professional golfers have their golf clubs custom fitted, because they know that an extra length or kilogram of weight can make a difference in the way a club moves before and after the moment of contact with ball.

Do Amateurs Need Custom Fit Golf Clubs?

If you are a high handicapper who likes to play 18 holes on the weekend, you are probably thinking if it is worth spending the money on getting custom fit golf clubs is worth it as far as improving your game. Most high handicappers will benefit from the modifications, because they have the greatest room for improvement.

A professional club fitter will customize your golf clubs to your particular height, strength, clubhead speed, and the dynamics of your individual swing. Golf clubs come in standard lengths and specifications to fit an individual who is about five-nine in height, who with a 6-iron, hits approximately 150 yards. If you are that golfer, then off the shelf clubs will fir your game. If not, then go ahead and look into getting a custom fitting for your golf clubs.

When you go for your golf club custom fitting, you may be surprised to find out that the fitting mostly consists of you hitting the ball with the new set of clubs. The club fitting pro will mark you club ( the club face) with special tape that is marked every time you hit the ball.

By watching where the marks end up on the clubface, the club pro can see what adjustments need to be made. The shaft, loft, and club head can be modified, to make your clubs perfectly suited to your body physique and swing. If you buy high priced golf clubs, your fitting may be included in the cost. If it is not, you can expect to be charged maybe $50 or more for the club-fitting fee.

Other Equipment

Besides the custom fit golf clubs, every golfer needs some other basic equipment to assist him with his game. After all, the game is intended to be enjoyable. Use a golf bag that allows you to slide clubs easily in and out. Whether you use a powered golf cart, a pull cart, or decide to carry your clubs, you should buy a bag that fits your style of play.

A golfer who uses a power cart will want easy access exterior zippers and small compartments that face outwards when the bag is on the back of a golf cart. A golfer who uses a pull cart will want the same pockets to be accessible when he or she plays with a non-powered cart.

Every golfer also needs a tight-fitting golf glove to hold the club firmly. If you are right-handed, buy a glove for your left hand; if you are left handed, buy a glove for your right hand.

In conclusion, custom fitted golf clubs and helpful accessories will extend the enjoyment of the game for you, whether you a professional or a weekend warrior, looking to escape on the green for a while.
