This is what YOU should go though for a professional fitting. Every golfer deserves this type of fitting.
There are TWO factors that separate the elite from the common in the GOLF Industry. The first is quality of design. The SECOND factor is the care and skill with which the club is assembled, relative to YOUR specific needs and SPECIFICATIONS. A PROFESSIONAL CUSTOM CLUBMAKER WILL MAKE YOUR CLUBS ONE AT A TIME TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS. THEY ARE NOT “ONE SIZE FITS ALL”; THEY ARE “ONE CLUB, ONE CUSTOMER, ONE CLUBMAKER.”
