  Get fit or fix my swing?  This is probably the most asked question we get in our fitting studio.  The very short answer? Do Both!   We work with several of the top instructors and we can make recommendations for the best coach in your area.  But first of all, we really do suggest you get fit for your clubs! What Our Golfers Want From a Club Fitting The most common response when we ask our customers what they want from their golf game is CONSISTENCY! This is a crazy sport where you can have up to 14 clubs to hit one ball.  The chances of all of those clubs matching your swing?  Slim to none!  The five most important club attributes are club length, shaft weight, shaft flex, shaft profile (trajectory and spin), and swing weight.  The most common attributes golfers look at are length and weight.  The lightest, longest and stiffest club in your bag is your driver.  The shortest, softest flex and heaviest clubs will be your wedges.  In between, the clubs will vary by weight, flex and length. Below is a chart of what we may see in a golfers bag when testing these five attributes... Read More

Measuring Golf Swing Dynamics is a very important part of the golf club fitting process.  In our in-person fitting sessions, we utilize the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer to measure tempo, transition, kick point and release.  This information is fundamental to our BGF Fitting System and TrueFitClubs Fitting Wizard to make more accurate shaft recommendations. Swing Dynamics – Tempo, Transition and Release Most golfers are not actually sure about their swing dynamics.  They think their tempo is fast when actually it is probably pretty standard.   In our fitting recommendations, it is very clear how the swing dynamics of Tempo, Transition and Release can impact shaft selections. In general, the smoother your swing, the softer and lighter shaft you can play to optimize distance, accuracy and consistency.  We call this a “Swinger” type of swing.  On the other had, if you have a faster tempo, short and aggressive back swing, you will need a firmer, and potentially heavier shaft to optimize your results.  We call this a “Hitter” type of swing.  See more on this topic at this blog on swing dynamics. Mizuno Shaft Optimizer Mizuno has been at the forefront of the effort to help determine the proper shafts with their Shaft... Read More

What’s your FIR (fairways in regulation) percentage? If you aren’t hitting at least 70% of fairways in regulation, scoring gets very difficult. Improving your strokes gained off the tee by hitting more fairways is a top 3 way to drop... Read More

When tournament golf is halfway through the season, but some aspects of your game still need a little adjustment – don’t change your swing, adjust your equipment. The right fitting and the right shaft can fix most problem areas and help get you ready for the most important tournament of the year – club championships.

And problem areas get in the way of attacking the greens when you need or want to. Don’t hold back – gain confidence in every club with an expert club fitting. Which clubs hinder your tournament golf the most? With each customer, we conduct a thorough interview about their equipment, their golfing goals, and game improvement areas.

The usual suspects were on the 2024 Golf Digest Equipment Hot List , but a the biggest news is the Maximum MOI – 10K drivers from almost every manufacturer.  Various forums, and ourselves as well publish a list of the best drivers.  Some are very independent and some are not.  Doesn’t matter.  What our customers are looking for is what are the best driver and shaft combinations that we have fit so far in 2024, even though it is early in the season.  In addition, we believe that the shaft is the part of the club that has the most impact on distance, consistency and accuracy, so that is why we are including our shaft recommendations in this list.
