Things you NEED to know about a club fitting

This video is for anyone wanting to learn more about club fittings!
Having a GOOD club fitting is way more important than having A club fitting. I would strongly suggest to go somewhere that specializes and or does a lot of fittings.

What's funny is I hit the ball so bad throughout the fitting then right after it, I started swinging it well. After the fitting today, I recorded myself doing the TrackMan Combine. Is that something ya'll are interested in seeing? Also, I know there wasn't much editing in this video, the main reason for that is because this was for educational purposes only! Hope ya'll enjoyed!

[@hbsgolf7762]

Yeah I would love to see a TrackMan Combine

I've done the combine before. What was your score?

[@birdieputtnh74]

@@JacobSever I think my best was a 77

[@JacobSever]

@@birdieputtnh74 Yeah, I've only done it once. Got a 70.7, and I wasn't in any decent form that day. Couldn't judge distances with my wedges, and my driver was so far off. Super fun though.

I heard above 1.50 smash factor was supposedly impossible that clubs couldn’t be designed to be better. But I saw a 1.53 before.

[@marshacooper9088]

Thank yo, this was most helpful.

[@Quuantix]

you could imagine what cameron champ's maximum smash factor would be

[@kourt2469]

Quuantix max smash factor is always 1.5 regardless of player. It’s a usga limit on how much a clubs face can rebound the golf ball.

[@kourt2469]

@James Fondren yes and the ratio can never be higher than 1.5. If it is then you have an illegal driver. Obviously there is a slight tolerance so could technically be 1.52 but theoretically it shouldn't

What really kills me is when people go into a fitting with a specific club in mind... instead you should let let the fitting tell you which club (and shaft) is best for you!

[@ricedaddy88]

I don't have a problem with people going in with maybe a specific brand in mind. Say you go in and want to do a Callaway or a Titleist fitting, no problem there. Part of a good club fitting is how comfortable you are with your clubs.

[@saulgoodman4769]

A lot of the draw for most people looking to blow a few grand is the look of the clubs. Especially when the driver heads look like something Ferrari or Lamborghini designed.

[@davidschrauben9973]

[@adamhowells8494]

You should do a video of you having a golf lesson, you've got great swing maybe we could learn something 👍

[@Anjuuydhjjiskjhyys]

8:58 it’s a fluke. doppler radar technology used in trackman is excellent at tracking a golf ball but not so good at tracking a club head. It is because a club head not only travels along the swing path and but also rotates around the shaft axis. Depending on where you define the reference point, you will see a different number (for example, toe side travels faster than heel side due to rotation). There’s a lot of computation involved inside trackman trying to compute this “one club head speed” number but you have to realize that there will, inherently, be a larger spread in the number. Long story short, When you see unusually high smash factor numbers like 1.53, 1.54, it is always because the club head speed is unusually low and not because the ball speed is unusually high. I have personally gotten 1.54 on terrible strikes too.

[@kindasustho_]

Makes sense, but his swing is not unusually low in speed, so i think this comment is a fluke

[@ultimatejay]

For driver heads they have a regulated maximum allowed amount of ball speed when hit at a designated club head speed. In other words- all the top driver heads have the same performance. The only difference is how they adjust to give you more flight changes and consistency

[@williamhickey9200]

Forgiveness is still getting better, but I'd say only marginally. I hit my Taylor Made M2 just as well as I do my Dad's SIM.

[@scottlage8131]

My question is what happens if you get fitted for clubs at a place that is not a retailer? Do they give you the data for the right clubs for your swing?

[@RileyMews]

I've only played golf a few times and I've scored 127 125 last 2 times I've played. I'm using my Dad's old magregor VIP's which are probably 20 years old. I'm looking to get a new set of clubs but wondering just is it worth getting a fitting or is that for more for advanced golfers? Bear in mind I'm still working on the basics and trying to fix slice

[@adammccartin7000]

That club fitter has a wealth of knowledge beyond my comprehension rly! Fantastic video on a CRUCIAL topic that almost nobody talks about on YT bc its not a flashy, view jumping draw. Blown away to hear the shaft type is 90 fricken % of the difference when deciding what clubs are right for you! Side note- 1 issue still remains the COST! Not of the fitter persay but the experience on a whole. Just getting fit for a set of a NEW set of gd-high end irons is gonna take u at or over a G! Whereas, a used set or clearance deal (tons out there if u do a mo. of everyday research) is bascially half that, give or take.

[@locobenno9435]

fav quick fix food: middle eastern food for the win. Regarding getting fit: it's not about "swinging great" because that's subjective, it's about turning up with something repeatable. And your own clubs, turn up with your own clubs. You're doing the fitter a disservice (and yourself) if you're not showing them what you're doing with what you've got. Lastly, warm up first, and warm up in front of the fitter so they can see what cold2hot looks like. Oh, and use your game balls, pointless smashing whatever they have lying around on the floor when you use OnCore exclusively...shout out to OnCore, their Elixr is the perfect ball

[@TheCarty1986]

The struggle is real being left handed and fitting clubs.... Go to golf shop, see a massive wall of clubs. excuse me Sir, where are the left handed clubs. oh, right down the back in the corner, there is 2 sets to pick from.... cheers eye roll

[@55tymax]

I feel your pain brother!

[@glennwiebe5128]

I'm a leftie as well. However, I grew up playing hockey in Canada and naturally shot right. To me it makes sense that the dominant hand is at the top of the stick or shaft. It's the hand that provides the control in my opinion. My younger brother is right handed but shoots left. Makes sense to me.

[@jackpd34]

[@PandamoniumAMVs]

Actually, Phil Michelson has achieved over a 1.70 smash factor through the use of lead tape, so don’t always believe what some people say. The perfect smash factor you’re looking for in a driver on a perfect strike is ideally 1.50 or better

[@Ed_Row_Feez]

[@Fortdicer]

ok man i will go club fitting when my clubs start playing like crap

[@sir_nicks_allot_8902]

My favorite meal is... Filet mignon, baked potato, and steamed broccoli (which I think is American food), tex mex is really too though.

[@Big123Shot]

I work at a golf course and the head pro recently pulled me out to the range and let me hit with a lie board and put tape on the face and bottom of the club and I hit a few balls pretty well I thought but I was hitting it more towards the shaft on the face and I didn’t realize but my clubs lie is completely wrong and the length is too long, I didn’t realize how much goes into getting fitted for clubs because the only way I could hit it pure would be to absolutely hook it

[@dsc-nr5zy]

It's very simple what happens to achieve higher than 1.5 smash factor. The ball speed is always right, but the club speed is calculated. When the club speed is under-calculated, which happens for whatever reason, you get the higher smash factor as a result.

[@tobysturgell121]

[@stevetilk4926]

When i started golf many years ago, club fitting wasn’t a thing. Hence my dumb question. I play with early 90s era clubs. I assume fitting is only pertinent to me if I want to buy new modern clubs? I like my irons. I don’t want to get new shafts. Is it worthwhile to have the lofts and lies changed? I don’t care about gaining additional yardage. I just want fewer mishits. Thanks!

[@ekphotography]

I just bought some used Apex Black Irons and the description is they are 2* flat adjusted by Callaway with the red forged CF16 logo on the hossle amd XP95 S300 shafts.. Where I live they do not have custom fitting available. I am a 18 handicap and usually have a slight fade to the right. Does 2* flat mean I will most likely get more to the right and more fade? The clubs will take 2 weeks to get to me but I was wondering if that is most likely what might happen to me with these clubs. I am still working on getting my inside out swing down bc I do have a slight tendency to come over the top a little. So is the 2* flat going to give me more problems? Thanks for any help!!

[@witness6514]

ekphotography I believe so. I like my lie standard but I used to play with it 2* flat back in 2012-2014. I recently switched back to 2* flat after switching shafts from x100 120g to 7.0 pjx 130gs and I was slicing, pushing and couldn’t control my normal fade. I went back up to neutral lie and it erased all of my problems. Not really sure why but it just works. I’m a 5.7 handicap and I’ve never had a fitting once in my life and I’m 23 years old. And I’ve been golfing since 4th grade. I’ve always had hand me down clubs until college where I was swinging x stiff and had to buy my own so I just bought what I read with the best reviews on clubs and shaft. Wish you the best of luck!

[@Par2Pixel]

As far as my experience anything over 1.5 is a fat shot you hit the ground before the ball. This is an old video but wondering if these two have come to the same conclusion since this day. Maybe I am wrong but it is the only time I ever see it above 1.5

[@Smile4MyAC130]

That's already not a good club fitting cuz you don't use your own clubs for a base line.

[@rickyparrish2570]

You dont know what american food is? Biscuits and gravy? Country fried steak? Basically most southern foods...

[@darrellshort5696]

Great video, you brought up several important points to the club fitting process. Be confident/comfortable with your swing before you get fitted, I would add don't make the fit session a swing lesson. Be patient, check your ego at the door, I walk in the door thinking I need stiff shafts, if a softer/lighter shaft will improve my game that's what I want. For me, the most important point is do your club fitter research not the company... Hopefully I will find someone knowledgeable and patient to fit me... I am learning that shaft technology is the new rocket science... Thanks for posting... And again Great Job young man!!!
