I assume that most clubfitting educators are hardworking, firmly believe in what they teach, and are honest about what they choose to reveal. After all, most if not all people that declare such information have other direct or indirect business interests associated with what they disclose (I am no exception), so logically the quality of disclosed fitting information will affect those other interests. But in the end it is what it is, and what it is right now is unfortunately pretty bad clubfitting theory and practice. Read the rest of this entry »

Here I will specify and elaborate a bit more about exactly what parts of previously taught clubfitting information are good and/or available and what parts are quite poor and/or missing. One universal statement that can be made about the current clubfitting industry is Read the rest of this entry »

I restate here that, centrally, Waggle Weight Wisdom is not written from the viewpoint of a club component designer, engineer or “technical consultant,” marketer, or many other primary career paths that might be considered merely “incidental” to truly trying to play golf at a high level.

Waggle Weight Wisdom is now only about a handful of posts away from starting to reveal certain golf swing and clubfitting concepts that will forever change the way they are both viewed. The insight will help take the swing instruction and clubfitting trades from their current reputations of being quite inefficient into models of equipment fitting and swing training that will want to be emulated by all. Before beginning, however, Read the rest of this entry »

I ended my previous post by stating how certain golf ball flights regularly associated with certain swing traits, while oftentimes reliable, are associations that result in far too many inconsistencies and/or errors on too many occasions to justifiably depend on them toward effective clubfitting. One example comprises Read the rest of this entry »

Last post I approached golf club swingweighting as being fit directly to one’s swinging motion, whereby the specification’s value emerges as one of the most primary and crucial variables to get right if one wants to play his or her best golf. Now I will look at the same parameter from the standpoint of fitting it to one’s golf ball flight, where much differently the swingweight value is Read the rest of this entry »

At the end of my most recent post, I wrote about fitting golf grip size based exclusively on ball travel results. If deciding to take this approach, would you choose to make the presumption that when ball flight is at its best you are swinging your best, or would you prefer to prove that assumption separately and directly if you had the chance instead of relying on such an “indirect” method of gauging swing performance? The fact is Read the rest of this entry »

It should hopefully be realized by now that the only truly legitimate way of fitting clubs in a proficient manner is by Read the rest of this entry »

Over the last couple of posts I distinctly separated two options of fitting golf clubs to players, those being based directly on one’s swing performance and directly to ball travel. The conclusions are quite clear. While each approach in and of itself could essentially be utilized on its own to fit clubs, Read the rest of this entry »

Last post I pointed out how so critically important it is to fit golfers’ clubs to the way they swing, yet at the same time revealed how this really cannot and should not be done to the exclusion of all other clubfitting factors. Think now about fitting golf clubs based on ball travel alone while completely neglecting one’s swing. Can this be done? Read the rest of this entry »
