Here are my answers to customer's most commonly asked questions regarding club fitting:
Exactly what is customized in a set of custom fit clubs?
Practically every part of the club may be modified to some extent. These include club length, shaft material, weight and flex, club head type and design, lie angle of the irons and grip type material and size. Also the number of clubs needed to make up your particular set.
Why is the shaft important?
Not all players' swings possess the same tempo and swing speed. Today's shaft are available in a variety of weights, flexes and tip stiffness that can greatly influence a players' ball flight, launch angle and distance. By observing your swing we are able to determine the proper shaft to maximize your distance and accuracy.
What is Lie Angle and why it is important in my irons?
Lie angle is the angle between the sole of the club and the axis of the shaft. Lie angle has a major effect on the direction of your shots. A too flat lie angle (toe down) results in shots going right of the target. A too upright lie angle (toe up) causes the ball to go left of the target. By using lie tape and hitting balls off a lie board we determine the correct lie angle for you new irons.
I'm shorter than average so should I use shorter clubs?
In most cases you would not because it shortens your swing arc resulting in a loss of club head speed and distance. Shorter players will often require flatter lie angles because of a flatter swing plane.
Are custom clubs more expensive than off the rack sets?
No. As a matter of fact they are often less expensive because you may only need 5 or 6 irons rather than the conventional 8 irons in most off the rack sets.
After my fitting how long does it take to get my new clubs?
Virtually all major club manufacturers are now tooled up to produce and ship custom orders in 3 to 5 days. Our customers receive their new clubs in 7 to 10 business days.
What if I loose a club - can I get a replacement to match my original specifications?
Our shop as well as the manufacturers maintain records of each customer's order including all specifications. If a club is lost a replacement can be made to exactly match your original set.
Will custom fit clubs make me a better player?
Professionally fit clubs are an important tool in order to become the best player you can be, and that is what we would all like to experience. Properly fit clubs reward good swings with good golf shots. Poorly fit clubs force a player to compensate. You wouldn't buy a new suit at a store without trying it on. Neither should you invest in new golf clubs without first being professionally fit.

Tee to Retee Drill promotes hands, arms and wrists action
I've never seen an accomplished player that doesn't have active arm and hand action. Most developed this early on as juniors or teenagers. The correct hand action is truly the heartbeat of the golf swing. The average golfer needs to feel the release of the clubhead in the cocking, uncocking and recocking of the hands and wrists.
Here is a great drill to help you feel the role your hands play in the golf swing. It is called the Tee - to - Retee Drill.
Place a tee in the butt end of the grip of a 6 iron and put 2 tees in the ground along the target line, one about 3 feet directly behind the ball, the other about 3 feet in front. Take your normal stance and swing the club back, consciously cocking the club so the tee in the grip points to the tee behind the ball. Then on the through swing, purposely uncock your wrists so the tee in the grip points to the tee in front of the ball.
This drill will train your hands, arms, and wrists to uncock the clubhead earlier on the downswing, thereby creating more clubhead speed and helping to square the clubface at impact. An interesting point, the more relaxed your grip pressure and arms the faster the clubhead will be moving.

Ping G25 is a great value
One of the best deals right now in golf equipment is the Ping G25 line of drivers, fairways, hybrids and irons. Ping has decided to continue selling the G25 clubs through the Fall, and just recently reduced the prices. As always there is no charge for any customization in your set. Call or come by Golf Rx if you would like more information.
Winn Grips recently introduced a new Dri-Tac Wrap to their very popular Dri-Tac line of grips. The wrap provides a contoured feel in a classic wrap-style design with exceptional non-slip all weather performance. Golf Pride as well has a new grip called the MCC Plus 4. It is similar to the New Decade Multicompound, but the 4.6% larger lower hand encourages a lighter grip pressure. The 20% softer rubber in the lower half matches the feel of building up your grip with extra layers of tape.
As we enter our 6th year of business at Golf Rx I would like to personally thank all of our customers for their support and patronage. I saw a need for a full service golf facility that could provide customers with personal and professional service. I also wanted Golf Rx to be a your "one stop golf shop" providing PGA Instruction, Custom Fitted Professional Equipment, and Club Repair Services. I feel fortunate that our customer base continues to grow each year.
