Modern irons and wedges are made with different weight distributions (cavity back, muscle back, etc.), which determine their level of forgiveness. Choosing the right clubhead for your skill level can significantly improve your consistency and confidence when hitting shots.

The shaft’s stiffness (flex) and material (steel, graphite, or a combination of the two) affect the feel during the swing, clubhead speed, and shot control. Every player has a specific swing tempo and personal preferences that should be taken into account.

Shaft length affects your stance and comfort during the swing. A club that is too long or too short leads to compromises in technique and, consequently, inconsistent shots.

Lie angle (the angle between the shaft and the ground) affects the direction and accuracy of your shots. The correct lie helps you strike the ball optimally in the center of the clubface, thereby minimizing sidespin.

The distances covered by the clubs are largely determined by their loft. During fitting, attention is paid to smooth transitions between the individual irons and wedges (known as gapping) to prevent unwanted distance gaps.

Properly adjusted loft is essential for wedges in a variety of playing situations – whether for longer approach shots or short shots around the green.

Especially with wedges (pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge and lob wedge), the bounce (the angle between the ground and the leading edge) and sole shape (grind) are very important.

These features affect how easily the club moves through the surface and how well it can glide across the turf or sand in a bunker.
