Golf. The game that golfers love and hate, sometimes at the same time. But it’s those great shots that keep golfers hooked. Speaking of hooks….or slices, those are the shots that can lead to the most colourful language on the course. Yes lessons are a good idea, but so is ensuring your equipment fits, as one size doesn’t fit all.
So let’s consider a real life example:
Bill, who is 5’8, used his friend’s golf clubs to play a round. His buddy is 6’4. It went terribly wrong and not because Bill couldn’t hit a ball. Playing with the wrong clubs, sets people up to fail. Just like getting the right size hockey equipment, getting fit for golf clubs is crucial. Now, if you play once a year, you can still make an investment, but it might not give the same value as if you were playing 20 rounds a year. But, if you love the game and want to love it even more, do yourself a favour and get fit for clubs that are right for you, regardless of your skill level.
What will club fitting give you:
1. Improved Accuracy
2. Increase Your Confidence
3. Amplify Your Investment
Improved Accuracy – Whether you are a seasoned golfer or new to the game, the right clubs can improve your accuracy and consistency. Improving shots is great but more importantly we are looking at improving your mishits. This gives you more time playing golf versus always looking for your golf ball. How is this done? In your fitting, all the shot data is captured with state of the art technology, the Foresight GC Quad, and analyzed by lead fitter Ryan Oakley who brings decades of golf experience to your session. Different shafts and club heads are presented to help find the right clubs for you. The data speaks for itself.
Increase Your Confidence – With the right clubs, your swing just feels better. In your fitting we will measure you for the right length, right flex of shaft based on your tendencies, the right grip based on your hand size/grip pressure, among other things. Comfort and confidence go hand and hand. And when your game feels good, so do you!
Amplify Your Investment – Being fit for the right clubs means less time, money, and energy wasted on the wrong clubs. The right clubs are an investment. So let us help you clear all the noise from ads, friends, and social posts and only recommend clubs that are right for you and your budget.
We’re certain that you’ve heard all the misconceptions about not getting fit for golf clubs:
1. I’m not good enough
2. It won’t really change my game that much
3. I know enough about equipment to know what works
You may be right.
1. You may only play a handful of times a year and the game of golf may not be a priority in your life right now.
2. You may have all the right clubs in your bag and are playing your best golf.
3. You may feel you have enough knowledge about equipment to know what to change in your bag if your swing changes.
Or….you love the game and want to love it even more. Getting fit ensures you are playing with the right clubs, you are improving the accuracy of your shots, and you know which equipment works for your game, body and tendencies.
As roots give an oak tree its strength to grow, the right clubs give golfers the proper tools to grow. So let us help.
