Custom Golf Club Fitting & Manufacture
(Sorry, we do not provide heads from most of the OEM's such as Callaway, Ping, Orlimar, Taylor, etc., For work requiring the use of these heads, they would have to be provided by the client)
This is probably the most important function of the Golf Club Doctor. You would be amazed at your increase in playing performance with a set of golf clubs that are fitted to you.
Buying a set of clubs "off the shelf" is the norm for most golfers. Simple things like the length of your arms, size of your grip, clubhead speed, position for hitting, etc., are not taken into account. You end up making your body, and its related movement, adjust to your clubs, rather than use your own movements to your advantage.
We can adjust the clubs that you have bought off the shelf, but, it is more economical to start at the beginning of the process (a personal fitting), then it is to do the work afterwards.
It is preferred that you visit for a complete fitting. My charge for a fitting is $20.00 (deducted from the cost of the clubs, if contracted within 6 months of the fitting). For a personal fitting it is suggested that you wear similar clothing to that in which you play. You will be instructed in how to warm up and stretch prior to the measuring session. It is suggested that you bring your own clubs (if you already have them), but you can be fitted here using our clubs.
You can send your fitting information to us, but it must include the following items:
11. Height, weight, age, gender
12. Hand preference (right/left)
13. Measurement from tip of middle finger to the ground, wearing the shoes you normally wear for golf.
14. Measurement from the fold of the wrist to the ground, wearing the shoes you normally wear for golf.
15. Measurement from the tip of the finger to the fold of the wrist.
16. Clubhead speed of driver (please measure at least 5 times, and give average), indicate your average distance obtained with this club also.
17. Clubhead speed of #5 Iron (please measure at least 5 times, and give average), indicate your average distance obtained with this club also.
18. Shaft preference (steel, graphite, Bi-Matrix, Composite)
19. Head preference (steel, titanium, Beta II, Composite, etc.)
10. Grip preference (including size)
11. Other information, such as where the ball goes after you strike it, current lie of clubs, current flex of shafts, etc., would be helpful in our recommendations.
