When you get fit for clubs, what is the goal?
But when you’re getting fit for clubs, the goal is to make your swing. The one that’s as repeatable as possible, so that when you actually get out on the course – you have the right tools for you. Not to make a change at the store, get fit for clubs, and then have them be all wrong once you get back into your game.
Is a golf shaft perfect?

Tim, what was your experience like at True Spec?
Gavrich: Whereas you went with a driver fitting, I went whole-hog at True Spec: a full-bag (and nearly full-afternoon) fitting. Since the only clubs I’ve really been fitted for in my life have been a couple sets of irons, and since I’ve got a couple tournaments coming up, I figured I’d take the opportunity to get a few things situated.
What was your biggest technical takeaway from your driver fitting?
Deegan: Two things: First, I'm amazed at how much a single change in shaft could affect the ball's performance so dramatically. My fitter and master builder, store manager Derek Westover, would know within two to three swings if the shaft wasn't right for me, and quickly yank it out of the rotation.
Any new equipment you were glad you tried?
Gavrich: Let me tell you about the putter fitting portion of my afternoon at True Spec. Putting has always been the weakest part of my game, so I’ve accumulated a closet full of putters, mostly picked up on the cheap from the “USED” racks at golf stores.
What was most impressive to you about Club Champion and their setup?
Deegan: I was just impressed with the overall approach from start to finish. I was sent an email questionnaire before my fitting, so Westover could learn what my goals and expectations were. It was essentially an icebreaker, since he says most golfers show up nervous.
What were your key takeaways from True Spec?
Gavrich: Speaking of that, aside from my driver shaft-length revelation, an iron lie adjustment was my most valuable takeaway from my fitting. Andy's iron specs recommendations were for lie angles about 1.5 degrees flatter than I had had.
My Personal Fitting Experience
Upon walking in the door of the True Spec Headquarters, I knew I was about to experience something truly unique and special. The fitting featured an expansive room complete with 2 indoor fitting bays, Foresight Sport GC Quad launch monitor, putter fitting studio, and 35,000 different options to choose from.
Shafts
Once I knew which irons I liked, then came the shaft testing, which is arguably the most important part in the club-fitting process.
Driver Fitting
The driver fitting was similar to the irons as Eric pulled 5 out for me to try out. You can see the data below of my driver compared to the five others I hit. Driver is probably the weakest club in my bag so I was excited to get fitted and hopefully find something that helps me get a bit more loft and distance.
Building A Custom Driver
Next, I was able to observe the head of the build team Nick Kopp build a custom driver for a True Spec customer. After selecting the shaft, Nick then weighted the shaft to make sure it was to the customer specs. Then it was time to test the flexion of the shaft.
Summary
After a fun-filled day of club testing and touring the shop, it was time for me to head out. The experience was mind-blowing for me and unlike anything I had ever done. I learned so much, not only about my own swing, but about golf clubs and golf in general.
