What the Fitting Involves
⦁ Launch Angle: The angle at which the ball takes off.
⦁ Spin Rate: The amount of backspin on the ball, which influences trajectory and carry distance.
⦁ Smash Factor: The efficiency of energy transfer from club to ball.
⦁ Carry and Total Distance: How far the ball travels through the air and its overall distance.
⦁ Dispersion Patterns: The consistency and accuracy of your shot pattern.
Choosing the right driver head design is critical for maximising distance and control. Different designs offer varied levels of forgiveness, centre of gravity (CG) placement, and face angle options. We assess whether a lower-spinning head or a more forgiving option would benefit your game, and we can also fine-tune the loft angle to enhance your launch conditions. For fairway woods and hybrids, we ensure these clubs provide the versatility needed to bridge the gap between your driver and irons.
The shaft is arguably the most critical component of your driver and woods. It’s often referred to as the “engine” of the club because it plays a significant role in determining how you launch and control your shots. Our fitting experts evaluate a wide range of shaft options, considering factors such as weight, flex, and torque. These elements must align with your swing speed, tempo, and release pattern to achieve the ideal ball flight.
We offer a broad selection of premium shafts from top manufacturers, including:
⦁ Project X: Known for stability and low torque, ideal for aggressive swingers.
⦁ Mitsubishi Chemical: Offers a variety of weight and launch profiles.
⦁ Fujikura: Provides exceptional feel and performance consistency.
⦁ Graphite Design: Specialises in high-quality graphite shafts with varied profiles.
⦁ Aldila: Known for innovative designs and materials.
Our shaft options come in different flexes (e.g., Regular, Stiff, Extra Stiff) and weight categories (from ultralight 40g to heavy 90g+), allowing us to tailor the setup to your preferences and physical capabilities.
Fairway woods and hybrids serve as critical transition clubs in your bag, bridging the gap between your driver and irons. During the fitting, we evaluate how well your current fairway woods and hybrids blend with the rest of your set. This involves looking at launch conditions, carry distance, and spin rates to ensure a smooth progression from club to club. If needed, we recommend adjustments to loft, shaft, and club length to enhance consistency and versatility.
