Custom Golf Club Fitting
So you want to be custom fitted for new golf clubs? Well, its about time. Getting a custom fit set of golf clubs can make a huge difference in your golf game. A good portion of errant shots can be attributed to that set of clubs you bought off the shelf. Golf clubs that are not properly sized to your body and swing types can often lead to miss-hits, slices, hooks, duffs, or worse. Each part of the golf club, from the grip down to the the toe position, can adversely affect your golf shots. To learn about how each part of the golf club can affect your swing and how you can properly fit yourself for each particular club component, take a look at the following guides on GolfSpyder:

Professional Club Fitting
There is no substitution for proper club fitting by a trained golf professional. Golf club manufacturers have done extensive research to come up with "standards" that will apply to the majority of golfers. But, more likely, there will be parts of the golf club that for you, will fall outside the standard. Contact your local golf pro shop for a custom fitting. You aren't obligated to buy from them, but they can ensure that you are getting the right clubs for your game. Check out our Golf Club Design Guide to learn more about golf club design and use it as an informative guide to help you understand what the pro is talking about while fitting you.
