The correct setting of loft, flex, and clubhead will help you maximize your swing speed and keep the ball in play.
Higher consistency
If you have clubs tailored to your physical parameters and playing style, you hit the "sweet spot" better and the ball flies more predictably.
Energy saving 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 to adjust 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 their balance or weight position adjusted to minimize slice or hook. Thanks to optimal settings, you will achieve the ideal combination of length and accuracy.
Fairway woods
Designed for shots from the fairway or even from the tee when you need a lower trajectory and a 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 tougher lies.
Hybrids
Hybrids replace long irons and combine the advantages of woods and irons – higher 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 classic long irons and at the same time allow a stable, lower ball flight with reduced ball spin. Their fitting focuses on loft, head shape, and the correct choice of shaft.
Fitting of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and utility clubs is an investment in the stability, distance, and accuracy of your long game. It doesn't matter whether 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 own abilities.
What is taken into account during the fitting of clubs for long game?
Loft
Loft is the angle of the striking face that affects the launch height, ball spin, and distance. During fitting, the loft that helps you achieve maximum length with minimal dispersion is tested.
Stiffness and type of shaft
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 ensure an optimal stance. An inappropriate length can lead to faulty mechanics and negatively affect accuracy and shot power.
The overall balance (swing weight) determines how the club "feels" in the 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 or 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.
