Clubfitting 101: To Only Know Where Clubfitting Should Go

Friday, February 29th, 2008

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, (more…)
