Summary
- 🏌️♂️ Importance of Club Fitting – Buying clubs off the rack is a mistake; getting custom-fitted ensures the right lie angle, shaft, and grip size.
- 🔥 Avoiding Blades for Beginners – Blades offer less forgiveness; new golfers should choose thicker cavity-back irons to improve consistency.
- 🎯 Hybrid & Driver Fitting – While different brands vary slightly in forgiveness, shaft selection is the key factor for optimizing performance.
- ✋ Grip Size & Comfort – The correct grip size prevents twisting in the hands and improves impact consistency.
- 🏌️♀️ Shaft Flex & Swing Speed – Choosing an extra stiff shaft with a low swing speed can lead to low ball flight and poor distance.
- ⛳ Wedges & Putters – Wedges require minimal fitting, while putter weight and balance should match a golfer’s stroke (e.g., toe-hang vs. face-balanced).
- 🔄 Lie Angle Considerations – Taller golfers often need upright clubs, while shorter players may need flatter lies to ensure proper contact.
Insights Based on Numbers
- 90-95 mph swing speed – Players swinging at this speed should use a stiff or regular flex shaft, not extra stiff.
- 10+ years experience – The speaker waited a decade before switching to blades, emphasizing their difficulty for most golfers.
