The correct setting of loft, flex, and clubhead will help you get the most out of your swing speed and keep the ball in play.
Higher consistency
If your clubs are tailored to your physical parameters and playing style, you hit the "sweet spot" better and the ball flies more predictably.
Energy savings and fewer errors
Poorly fitting clubs often force players to change their natural swing, which increases the risk of inaccuracies. Thanks to fitting, you play with greater ease and confidence.
Perfect transitions between clubs
All clubs should smoothly follow each other in distance so that you don’t have “distance gaps” in your set. Fitting helps adjust the lofts and balance so that you have a club for every distance.
Fitting of various types of clubs for long game
Driver
It is a club for the longest drives from the tee. Besides the loft, drivers often have adjustable weighting or weight positions to minimize slice or hook. With optimal settings, you will achieve the ideal combination of distance and accuracy.
Fairway woods
Designed for shots from the fairway or even from the tee when you need a lower trajectory and more accurate shot than with a driver. During fitting, loft and balance are primarily adjusted to ensure the club provides sufficient carry distance even from difficult lies.
Hybrids
Hybrids replace long irons and combine the advantages of woods and irons – greater forgiveness, easier achievement of the ideal ball trajectory, and versatility in various playing situations. For a hybrid, loft and shaft length are especially important to seamlessly fill the distance gaps between fairway woods and irons.
Utility club
They are often referred to as driving irons or utility irons. They have higher forgiveness than traditional long irons while allowing a stable, lower ball flight with reduced ball spin. Their fitting focuses on loft, head shape, and the correct shaft selection.
Fitting of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and utility clubs is an investment in the stability, length, and accuracy of your long game. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner who needs more forgiveness or an experienced player with a fast swing – adjusting the clubs can always help you make better use of your abilities.
What is taken into account during the fitting of clubs for long game?
Loft
Loft is the angle of the clubface that affects the launch height, ball spin, and distance. During fitting, the loft that helps you achieve maximum length with minimal dispersion is tested.
Shaft stiffness and type
The stiffness (flex) of the shaft and its type have a direct impact on the feel during the swing and control over the ball. Inappropriate stiffness can cause inconsistent contact with the ball, reduced accuracy, or loss of distance.
Length and balance of the club
The correct shaft length helps maintain swing tempo and ensures an optimal stance. An inappropriate length can lead to faulty mechanics and negatively affect both accuracy and shot power.
The overall balance (swing weight) determines how the club "feels" in your hands. A club that is too light or too heavy can result in inaccurate shots and loss of consistency.
Type and shape of the head
Driver heads, fairway woods, and hybrids differ in design and size. Each shape offers a different weight distribution, varying degrees of forgiveness, and distinct effects on ball spin and trajectory.
Adjustable elements
Modern clubs, especially drivers, are often equipped with the option to adjust the loft, lie angle, or center of gravity (CG) position. During fitting, the configuration that best suits you in terms of control, distance, and shot predictability is tested.
