PREMIUM GOLF CLUB FITTING GOES BIG-TIME AT OVER 140 LOCATIONS, OFFERS A RISK-FREE EXPERIENCE FOR NON-TOUR PLAYERS OF ALL LEVELS

CENTENNIAL, COLORADO:  GolfTEC, the international leader in golf instruction with over 140 Improvement Center locations, announces a Tour-level club fitting experience for avid and aspiring golfers. The descriptively-named PERSONAL CLUB FITTING addresses the over 80% of players who’ve never had a comprehensive fitting (source; GTE 2008 independent research estimate). 

According to Mike Clinton, GolfTEC COO and cofounder, “The time and money devoted to golf are precious, particularly now. No one can afford to play with ill-fitting clubs, and today’s players want more out of every hour and round — and shot, for that matter.” Under Clinton’s leadership, the entire GolfTEC development team created a category-leading experience built on documented results, strong consumer value and nationwide accessibility. 

GolfTEC’s one-hour PERSONAL CLUB FITTING precisely matches a player’s clubs to their swing, a process previously limited to Tour players or a few destination-resort visitors. Now, a fitting specialist with intimate knowledge of the golf swing turns measurements and independently-verified launch monitor data into meaningful club choices. Performance gaps are isolated through both static and dynamic fittings during the session. 

Powered by g-SWING technology enabled by Swing Labs’ well-regarded database, results are easy to compare because they are fact-based and repeatable. A strong partnership with industry-leading launch monitor provider AccuSport (Vector) provides seamless capture of ball speed, backspin, launch angle, sidespin and horizontal launch. With club recommendations spanning the full spectrum of performance characteristics and pricing, PERSONAL CLUB FITTING puts precision – and choice — in the hands of avid and aspiring players. 

Featuring TaylorMade and Mizuno clubs as well other leading brands, the comprehensive findings will impress those previously fit with less-advanced systems being offered by retailers, golf courses and driving ranges. Competitive prices make it easy to turn recommendations into an optimized bag during a single visit.

Adds Clinton, “Other sports have made custom fitting popular, even at the novice or junior levels. 

Based on recent independent research from Golf Datatech, fully 38% of golfers haven’t been fit simply because they’ve never been offered the opportunity. PERSONAL CLUB FITTING is their chance to dial in their equipment to make golf an even more rewarding experience.”

GolfTEC’s equipment analysis explores thousands of shaft and head combinations, and factors in club flex profile, shaft weighting and set configuration. In addition, the Company’s confident GUARANTEED ADVANTAGE promises a full refund if the fitting specialist can’t find potential for increasing control, distance, or shot-making ability during the PERSONAL CLUB FITTING session.

“On behalf of the hundreds of GolfTEC fitting specialists across the United States and Mexico, I’d like to challenge golfers to visit us with high expectations — as well as open minds about discovering their true playing potential,” concludes Clinton. In addition to presenting full printed documentation of findings and club comparisons during the session, the results are uploaded to a personal website for future reference.

Based on the findings from GolfTEC’s field research conducted since early 2008, PERSONAL CLUB FITTING redefines how clubs should feel, handle, and perform on-course. Players who have made the small investment in fitting are not only saving strokes, but avoiding expensive mistakes as they purchase new clubs in 2009 with greater confidence.
