The Fitter’s Corner

Last week we talked about controlling the pace of a fitting and regulating how many balls a player hits. This week, let’s fine tune what we actually give the player to hit. Imagine this scenario – A member or a customer comes to you and says he wants you to fit him for a driver.…

Controlling the Fitting Environment This is particularly relevant as we embark on a new season. As a fitting professional, you help people and guide them through the process of updating or filling out their golf bags. A few weeks ago, I made a comment that you need to create your process – the method that you ALWAYS…

So, the whole torque discussion prompted some questions about torque of a shaft vs. the weight of a shaft. Honestly, this was never a parallel that I drew, but as I thought about it more, it adds up to a GREAT discussion. Torque is a measure of how the shaft rotates, correct? Weight is a…

Here it is. Torque – Part II. I’m sure you lost sleep this week anxiously awaiting the arrival of this post in your inbox. Haha Remember, Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. We are talking specifically about the amount of torque in a golf…

The Heading says it. What exactly is Torque, how does it relate to golf, and why should you know about it? Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Yep. This is a bad dream, and you are back in your HS Physics class. Haha. This…

A couple weeks ago, the Fitter’s Corner was about length and lie. It was a review. That was basic Fitting 101. It is essential knowledge to fit golf clubs. If you read the Product Place in the Callaway Newsletter, you learned all about the new Elyte Irons. I hope I got you thinking. Thinking WOW!!…

The last Fitter’s Corner was about length and lie – a review. Fitting 101. Essential knowledge to fit golf clubs. I will continue on that pathway in future writings, but first, I want to shed some more light on fitting Elyte. Specifically, the driver. It has launched. You may have worked with it, you may…

Last week’s Fitter’s Corner was a snoozer, but that material is essential to understanding what the new products are capable of, and, in this application, how to use them to the best of their ability. This week, let’s talk about two more. Length and lie. These aren’t tech terms, though, you might say. Perhaps true,…

As we move into the new year, I thought it would be best to give a refresher on some of the basics of club design and fitting specs. Appropriate because we manufacturers spout off about Ai, 10K, high MOI, low & deep CoG, etc., and it is often received with a blah, blah, blah. It…

I saw a video of an interesting fitting the other day, and it was on one of my favorite topics. The player was a very good player, and he was looking to fill the gap between his 4-iron and his 3 wood. The 4 iron was a 215 club for him, and the 3 wood…
