One of the key benefits of a Distance Check is understanding and correcting yardage gaps. Gapping issues can occur when two or more clubs produce similar distances or when there are significant yardage voids in your bag. This might happen due to changes in your swing, alterations in club specifications, or the natural evolution of your game over time. Our fitting experts help you identify these gaps and provide solutions to ensure you have even coverage across your entire set.

For example:
⦁ Overlap in Distance: If two clubs are producing similar yardages, we’ll recommend adjusting lofts or potentially replacing one club with a more appropriate option, such as a hybrid or a higher-lofted wood.
⦁ Significant Yardage Gaps: If there’s a large distance void between clubs, we may suggest adding a new club to your set or adjusting the specs of an existing club to better bridge the gap.

The Distance Check is also an excellent opportunity to evaluate your overall set composition. With the constant evolution of golf technology, your set might include clubs that no longer serve a purpose or are mismatched with your current abilities. Our experts provide unbiased advice on which clubs may be hindering your game and recommend replacements that align better with your skill level and needs.

Common issues we help resolve include:
⦁ Redundant Wedges: If your wedges are too closely spaced in loft, they might produce overlapping yardages. We’ll analyse your wedge distances and suggest an ideal setup to cover various yardages and shot types.
⦁ Driver and Wood Composition: Many players struggle with a significant gap between their driver and longest iron or hybrid. We assess your long-game gaps to ensure your woods and hybrids provide a balanced transition between the driver and irons.
⦁ Optimising Iron Sets: With the trend towards stronger lofted irons, we help players optimise their set to ensure consistent gaps between each iron, maximising performance.

Shaft options are a big differentiator for us. With a variety of premium shaft choices, including graphite and steel in different weights and flexes, we can further fine-tune your yardages by finding the optimal shaft that enhances your performance.

Popular shaft options include:
⦁ True Temper: Known for their stability and feel, True Temper shafts are a staple for both steel and graphite options.
⦁ Project X: Offers a stiffer profile, ideal for players seeking low spin and a strong trajectory.
⦁ KBS: Features a smooth, balanced feel with various weight options to suit all swing speeds.
⦁ Mitsubishi Tensei: High-quality graphite shafts that offer exceptional feel and control.
⦁ Graphite Design: Premium graphite shafts with an emphasis on launch and stability.

Our fitting experts match each club to your swing dynamics, ensuring every shaft complements your unique style and optimises distance control.
