What the Irons Fitting Entails

The Irons Fitting session is an in-depth, data-driven process that begins with an evaluation of your current set of irons. Using high-speed launch monitors and a variety of head and shaft combinations, we analyse your performance with different club specifications to determine the ideal setup. The key performance metrics we examine include:
 
⦁ Clubhead Speed: How fast the clubhead is travelling at impact.
⦁ Ball Speed: A measure of how efficiently energy is transferred from club to ball.
⦁ Launch Angle: The initial angle at which the ball leaves the clubface, influencing height and distance.
⦁ Spin Rate: The amount of spin imparted on the ball, which affects trajectory, carry distance, and stopping power.
⦁ Smash Factor: The ratio of ball speed to clubhead speed, indicating how well you strike the ball.
⦁ Carry and Total Distance: How far the ball travels through the air and its overall distance including roll.
⦁ Shot Dispersion Patterns: The spread of your shots, providing insights into your consistency and accuracy.
 
Using this detailed performance data, we can pinpoint areas where your current irons may be underperforming and recommend changes that will help you achieve your potential.
 
Shaft Selection: Finding the Right Match for Your Swing

The shaft is a critical component of your irons, influencing everything from launch and spin to feel and shot dispersion. During the Irons Fitting, we evaluate a variety of shaft options to determine the best match for your swing dynamics. Important factors we consider include:

⦁ Weight: Heavier shafts provide better control and stability, while lighter shafts can increase clubhead speed.
⦁ Flex: The stiffness of the shaft, which influences how it bends during the swing and releases at impact.
⦁ Kick Point: Affects the launch angle, with high kick points producing lower trajectories and low kick points creating higher launch.
⦁ Torque: The amount the shaft twists during the swing, impacting feel and shot shape.

Available Shaft Options

We stock a wide range of premium shafts from industry-leading manufacturers, including:

⦁ True Temper: Known for high-quality steel shafts that provide stability and control.
⦁ KBS: Offers a variety of profiles for different playing styles and performance needs.
⦁ Nippon: Renowned for smooth-feeling steel shafts with consistent performance.
⦁ Project X: Provides low-spin, stable shafts designed for aggressive swingers.
⦁ Aerotech: Specialises in composite designs that blend steel and graphite characteristics.

Each shaft is tested for weight, flex, and profile to ensure it complements your swing and provides the desired launch and spin characteristics.

Lie Angle and Length Adjustments

Lie angle and length adjustments are crucial for proper setup and ball striking. The lie angle affects the direction of your shots; if it’s too upright or flat, it can lead to pulled or pushed shots. During the fitting, we measure your dynamic lie angle to determine the optimal setup. Similarly, adjusting the length of your irons ensures a comfortable stance and posture, promoting more consistent contact.

Grip Selection

The grip is your point of connection with the club, making it an essential part of the fitting process. We offer a variety of grip sizes and textures to enhance comfort, reduce tension, and improve feel. Finding the right grip size can prevent slicing or hooking and promote better swing mechanics.

Choosing the Right Iron Heads

Iron heads come in a variety of shapes and designs, each tailored to different player profiles and performance needs. Our fitting experts guide you through a selection of options to find the head design that best suits your swing and playing style. Key characteristics we evaluate include:
 
 

How well the club mitigates mishits, reducing the impact of off-centre strikes.

The amount the leading edge of the clubface is set back from the shaft, influencing launch and shot shape.

Narrow soles allow for cleaner strikes from tight lies, while wider soles offer better turf interaction and forgiveness.

Blades provide better workability and feedback, while cavity backs offer more forgiveness.
