1. ​Download, complete and submit the Club Fitting Consultation Form.

2. Email the completed form to improvemygolf@outlook.com or bring it along with you.

3. Also bring your equipment, particularly your driver and 7 iron, which serves as a fitting benchmark, as flight discrepancies from incorrect lie angles are easy to see; 

4. Go into a custom fitting with an open mind, prepared to make a performance-based decision so you end up with the best equipent for you and your game.

 

Graeme will ask questions about your game in terms of relative strengths, weaknesses, your handicap (if you have one) and current goals. He will evaluate your golfing needs by honing in on what it is you’re trying to achieve and what needs to occur to get you there. Ultimately, he aims to build equipment that is perfectly matched to your physique, swing, goals and development plan. 

 

In the fitting process you will see the ball flight, where it lands and how far it rolls. This is critical in choosing equipment that delivers your best results. The TrackMan 4 launch monitor will analyse technical aspects of your swing including ball speed, carry, total distance, and launch angles of each shot, to determine your correct:

• lie angle;

• shaft flex and material;

• head design;

• grip type and thickness;

• club loft; and 

• set makeup.

​

Dont ignore your wedges. Fifty per cent of the game is played from less than 100 metres in and this is where most people have the most trouble, so its very important to get fitted for wedges. Nine out of 10 golfers don’t use enough bounce with their wedges. (That’s the angle formed by the sole, the leading edge and the ground.)

 

Incorrect distance gapping between wedges is where a lot of amateurs come unstuck. We start by evaluating how far the ball travels using a 9-iron. We then set up lofts that provide very consistent and even gaps to your highest lofted sand wedge. Think of all the short shots you play on to a green – you’ll want to hit partial shots, some from the rough, some from the bunkers. We explore which bounce and grind will help you achieve the short-game shots you want and that varies for every swing.

 

After the fitting, if the specs you need are not available from stock on hand, a custom order will be placed with a premium or niche brand, including PING, Callaway, TaylorMade, Srixon/Cleveland, Mizuno, Wilson or Titleist.

​

In most cases Graeme fits people for clubs who have swung the same way for many years and have no desire to change their technique. Graeme will do his best to optimise the fit with your current technique. Some level of instruction is a vital component of the fitting process as the TrackMan 4 data will identify undesirable swing tendencies and options for improvement. If it is better for you to postpone the club fitting and have a lesson to establish a more ideal club delivery, Graeme will recommend this approach.

​

Here are some warning signs that you’re not getting a proper fitting:

​

1. The fitter doesn't explain the process.

You need to know why you were fitted the way you were and walk away from the experiencing understanding more about the way you play and your natural tendencies.

​

2. The fitter doesn't ask enough questions

You need to discuss your goals, game and your equipment. How can you track improvement without a baseline measurement?

​

3. The fitter doesn't use the latest tools ​

Launch monitors, video tracking and fitting systems such as shaft frequency analyser, lie and loft machine etc. Feel is important, but an accurate technical analysis is critical. Ask the fitter about their equipment. Get them to show you what they are looking for in the adjustments they recommend.

​

4. The fitter doesn't offer enough choice

You need what’s best for your game, not what’s best for your game limited to the fitter’s stock levels.
