5 Useful Tips for Fitting a Golf Club

Golfers reach out to me every day about what type of equipment is best for their game. In cases where it is over the phone or an email and you can't see the player hit clubs in person, one must rely solely on what the customer says.  Here are some tips that will help you self-fit and find what you need more efficiently.

Write it Down

One of the best tips I can give is to take good notes.  For instance, your golfing buddy let you hit his brand-new driver and you go "Holy cow, I really liked that!" Or perhaps, you went to a Demo Day and just beat the snot out of a driver.  What really did you like better than what you are currently playing?

Line it up with your driver.  Was it longer?  Did it have greater or less loft? Look at the numbers on the heel or sole.  What shaft and flex did it have?

The Hireko Golf Grip Sizing Calculator can tackle this problem and assist you in only a few simple steps by showing you what the final grip size will be in your club assembly or when re-gripping. All you need to do is enter the grip core size, shaft butt diameter, starting grip size and how many wraps of build-up tape you may want to add (if any).
