Custom fitting is for ALL golfers – in truth, the higher your handicap, the more custom fitting can improve your play and lower your score.

What I find interesting and have come to learn in the past year is he point about not being able to compare flex even within the same brand. For example a C-Taper R vs. a C-Taper Lite R are not going to spec out at the CPM.

Thanks for these posts Rickybobby. Keep ‘em coming. I went to light weight graphite a few years back. Recently, I hit some heavier steel shafts on the launch monitor at my local shop and discovered I hit them better than light weight graphite. Wishon’s insights provide reasons why this was my experience despite my 7 iron speed being around 75mph.
Who sold GolfWorks?
Ralph Maltby also sold GolfWorks (he has an excellent newer book worth reading). Tom Wishon has a very good paperback new book (Cap'N Clubmaker --Experiences & Insights From A Life In Search of the Perfect Golf Club) that discusses more in depth his views on club fitting, design and industry career.
Is Tom's writing outdated?
Yes, Tom's writing and videos are FAR from outdated. They actually convey information you can't get in most fitting studios. LM tech has given the golf world tons of needed information and is vital for proper fitting these days. However, IMHO, that information has overshadowed the need to pay attention to THE GOLFER and the input about the feel of the club. The numbers need to be optimal, but the feel of the club must also be right.
