Custom golf clubs are clubs that are tailored to fit a golfer's individual swing characteristics, body measurements, and preferences. Here's how custom golf clubs work and some of the benefits they offer:
Custom Fitting Process: The first step in getting custom golf clubs is a fitting session with a professional club fitter. During this session, the fitter will analyze various aspects of your swing, including clubhead speed, ball flight, launch angle, and spin rate. They may also take measurements of your height, arm length, hand size, and grip preferences.
Club Selection: Based on the data collected during the fitting session, the club fitter will recommend the optimal combination of clubhead design, shaft material, shaft flex, shaft length, lie angle, grip size, and other specifications to maximize your performance and comfort.
Shaft Selection: The shaft is a critical component of custom golf clubs, as it influences the club's feel, trajectory, and accuracy. Custom shaft options include different materials (such as steel, graphite, or composite), flex profiles (such as regular, stiff, or extra stiff), and weights to suit your swing characteristics and preferences.
Clubhead Design: Custom golf clubs may feature clubheads with specific designs, such as cavity-back, blade, or hybrid designs, to match your skill level and playing style. The club fitter may also adjust the clubhead's loft, lie angle, and weight distribution to optimize launch conditions and ball flight.
