On-course performance requires the melding of skill, mental discipline, and right-fitting equipment. Five of the most significant club variables have potent results – and can affect scoring at both avid and elite levels:

Proper Club Length:

• Proper club length is a key component of achieving correct posture at address; the foundation of a good swing.

Proper Shaft Flex:

• Matching the correct shaft flex to a golfer’s swing maximizes distance and optimizes ball trajectory.

Proper Grip Size:

• An often overlooked component of club fitting; proper grip size is critical to holding the club correctly and finding the right amount of wrist action.

Set Makeup:

• Eliminating distance gaps in your golf game is only done after the correct makeup of clubs is in your bag
  

Lie Angle:

• Proper lie angle directly results in better direction control, which means improved accuracy.

Any single variable can affect a typical round by several strokes for mid-handicap players. Two or more often create a loss or gain of well over four strokes.

The counsel of a well-trained fitter, particularly one who knows you, your swing, and your game, can lead to accuracy and distance improvements at any level. To gain these advantages, start with your closest ally today, your GolfTEC Certified Personal Coach.
