Getting a custom golf club fitting can be ideal for an avid player. So why do you need a customized fitting? Well let’s look and see. A custom golf club fitting is going to look at how you play the game as well as measure you to ensure that you are playing with a set of clubs that will work for your body type. Getting a custom golf club fitting will involve your pro doing the fitting to know:

• Height of the player in golf shoes.
• The distance from the floor to the golfer's wrist.
• Player’s age.
• The skill level and handicap of the player
• The swing of the player.
• What club the player typically uses from around the 150 marker.

Gender has a lot to do with getting the perfect fitting. Men and women vary, of course, in standards and measurements. Your height as well as the distance from your wrist to the floor will help in determining what length of club is going to be ideal for you. The speed of your swing will determine the type of shaft flex that is required for you. If you don’t have the right size club for you then your game will suffer for it.
