What happens at a golf fitting?
What happens at a golf fitting? It starts by getting you to hit with the clubs you currently use. The fitter will use a launch monitor and tracking software to measure the distance you achieve, the spin you put on the ball, your speed, and other vital points. It gives the fitter a baseline from which to work.
What does the Titleist TS1 driver look like?
Titleist did a wonderful job maintaining brand identity across the four models of the TS driver family. Like its siblings, the TS1 has a gloss black crown with a simple triangle for aligning the sweet spot. Although a head’s length is the more common descriptor, to me, the TS1’s head has serious depth front to back.
How long does it take to get a golf fitting?
As a guide, a proper golf fitting for a full set of clubs will take over two hours, and will involve an in-depth discussion and analysis of your game. If someone is not offering that, you are not going to get the personal attention which you need. Many golf fitters do not push products on you, they give you advice and charge for that.
Where can I get an agnostic golf club fitting?
If you want to go for an agnostic fitting, there are several organizations which now offer these services. Some of the best known are Hot Stix, Cool Clubs, and True Spec Golf. Several small independents provide this service too. It is worth searching in your area or speak to your coach or local golf professional.

What does a golf fitter do?
A golf fitter will aim to do two things. Get you using clubs which improve your fundamental abilities and compensate for the flaws in your game. It is likely that up until now you have been doing the opposite with your game. You may well have been adapting your game to your clubs. From now on, your clubs will suit your game entirely, and everything will flow more freely. Not only will you will maximize your performance.
Do golf fitters push products on you?
Many golf fitters do not push products on you, they give you advice and charge for that. It is an excellent option from which to choose. Once you know what will suit you best you can go to a sports shop or go on the web to purchase what they have recommended knowing that your money will go a long way.
Be ready to make A LOT of swings
Unless your range sessions are comparable to Vijay Singh’s, getting fit for clubs will be a workout. Because of all the options available, you’ll be hitting shots fairly consistently for up to two hours. This might not sound like a lot but firing off shot after shot for that long can take its toll.
It will provide insight into your true distances
Most golfers think they know their distances. Most golfers are wrong. We often overestimate our true yardages due to that one time we pured a 7-iron 175 yards. That won’t be an issue after getting fit for new clubs.
You will never want to use stock clubs again
After getting fit for clubs, you’ll never want to use stock clubs again. Once you see the benefits of a set made for you, the thought of using just any old set off the rack will seem horrific. It might seem spoiled, but golf is the most fun when you’re playing well and playing with fitted clubs gives you the best chance to play well.
