I'm Not Good Enough To Need Custom Fitted Clubs! 

This is a statement that we hear on an almost daily basis from our clients. There are so many golfers out there, who believe that custom fitted golf clubs are only for the elite player and that, as an average golfer, there is no benefit to be gained from being professionally fitted. 

As you may expect, this is completely untrue and in fact every golfer, regardless of their ability, will benefit from custom fitted clubs. Just as we don't all wear the same size of shirt or pair of shoes, the same golf clubs are not going to fit every player. The 100's of different flex's and weights of shafts aren't just a marketing gimmick. 

Unlike wearing ill fitted clothing, which are only going to make you look a bit odd, ill fitted golf clubs can have a major effect on performance. Striking the centre of a golf club that is the wrong length or weight for your build and swing style, will mean that only the most talented of player would have any chance of making a consistent ball strike. 

When you are playing with correctly fitted golf clubs, then you can rest assured that pilot error is the cause when a shot goes askew. The solution to that lies much closer to home! 

If you are interested in being professionally custom fitted for some new golf clubs, then give us a call on 01738 440678, or click here to contact us.

   

As part of our 'Complete Equipment Solution' we are currently offering FREE custom fitting and a FREE 30 minute golf lesson with selected equipment from Callaway, PING, TaylorMade and Titleist.

Improving your game  

Play Better Golf - Strike It Right

Whenever you see a good player strike an iron shot, they make a distinctively solid noise produced by the correct ball to turf contact. They do this by contacting the ball before the turf when the club is still travelling on its down swing. Many players mistake this with 'trying' to hit down on the golf ball and as a result end up making their downswing too steep, leading to many different errors. 

The key to good ball striking is about controlling the low point of your swing and not the actual angle of attack. The more you can move the low point of your swing arc to the target side of the golf ball then the more your golf ball will be struck on the downswing BEFORE the club head reaches the ground. This controlling of the swings low point will naturally create the downward attack angle and crisp strike that we desire. 

Today's drill will help you with your low point control and follows on nicely from last week's tip. Firstly place a towel on the ground roughly 5 inches behind the ball. Now swing to the top of your backswing making a centred pivot. From the top of your backswing work on driving your body towards your target, this action will help transfer your weight onto your front foot and allow you to strike the ball without making any contact with the towel. If you hang back and don't correctly shift your weight, then your club head will strike the towel before the ball as your swing bottoms out early. This will be tricky at first, but with a bit of practice, you should see a big improvement.
