What Will a Club Fitting Do for Your Golf Game?
Not all golf clubs are made for every golfer. In a golf club fitting, the clubs are customized to the individual golfer's unique swing and body type, making the equipment adapt to the player and not the other way around.

Significance
-
Golf club manufacturers design their clubs for the average golfer. This standard won't apply to everyone, so golfers should seek personalized club fitting from a golf professional or club fitter at golf courses and pro shops.
Function
-
The purpose of a club fitting is to maximize the accuracy and effectiveness of each golfer's individual swing. Every club should be fitted, including the putter.
-
Features
-
During a fitting, all aspects of the club are taken into consideration, including the length, shaft flex, shaft weight, grip size and club lie angle.
Benefits
-
Even the smallest club correction can greatly affect performance. For instance, if the club's lie angle is off as little as 2 degrees, it can cause the ball to land 40 yards to either side of the target.
Considerations
-
Some golf professionals and club fitters offer free fittings if you buy the clubs. If they don't, a club-fitting session will typically cost less than $100.
