How a GOLFTEC Iron Fitting Transformed a 90s Handicap Golfer’s Game

For many 90s handicap golfers, the idea of custom club fitting might seem reserved for seasoned players. However, a recent GOLFTEC fitting session with Jeff, a golfer typically shooting in the 90s, showcases the profound impact tailored equipment can have on performance and confidence.

Understanding the Importance of Club Fitting for 90s Handicap Golfers

Jeff entered the fitting session using secondhand clubs, specifically a Honma 7-iron. His average carry distance was around 153 yards, with a notably low backspin rate of 3,600 RPM. This low spin contributed to his shots rolling off greens, reducing scoring opportunities.

Initial Challenges: Low Spin and Inconsistent Shots

GOLFTEC’s fitting process began with an in-depth interview to understand Jeff’s goals and swing characteristics. Using advanced launch monitor technology, they gathered data on his current equipment’s performance. The goal was to identify clubs that would increase backspin, improve launch angles, and enhance overall consistency.

GOLFTEC Fitting Process: Data-Driven Equipment Selection

Three different iron models were tested:

• Titleist T200: Offered a 400 RPM increase in backspin and a launch angle of just over 20°, resulting in a 6-yard gain in carry distance.
• TaylorMade P790: Provided similar performance metrics to the T200 but with a slightly straighter ball flight.‍
• Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal: Stood out by increasing backspin to approximately 4,300 RPM and achieving a descent angle close to 41°, leading to nearly a 10-yard increase in carry distance.

Jeff ultimately chose the Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal irons, noting their comfortable feel and the confidence they instilled at address.
