Golf Lesson How To Choose The Correct Golf Clubs

[chumpglows]

..getting custom fit to give them their best chance at playing well, and sorting swing out rather than fitting clubs to a bad swing?

cheers

[chumpglows]

hey, really like your vids.

what about this: there's lots of amateurs who, for example, standard lie/length clubs should suit, but because their swings are out of whack they go to get fitted and swing tape will show heel or toe striking floor first, and so they essentially end up with clubs more upright or flatter etc to accommodate their flawed swing. i've even seen people on blogs and threads talking about getting more upright clubs to cure a slice and vice versa! how can folks balance...

[ianrogers1990]

you will never get a perfect fit but will get it closer to what your meant to have. only top tour proes will probulary get it almost perfect as all the stuff they have got to test.

Do you have an opinion about Trackman vs Flightscope? Have you tried them booth, and do you think one of the system is better?

Regards!

[rabbitmanish]

@MentaLAquaa keep goin with the golf. i strted about 4 weeks ago and can hit it 200 yards.

I use standard length clubs with 1 degree flat lie angle. I'm 12 years old and five feet one, and I usually hit my irons no more than 15 yards off line.

Thanks for this great vid im only 5'5'' and 14 years old I use standard clubs and always miss left now I know why

I was custom fit at a Golfsmith store by a salesman who told me I was stock measurements. I was hitting the clubs fairly well in the store and getting desireable distances and feedback so I bought the stock clubs. Now on the course i feel like they are too short and perhaps need an lie angle adjustment. I'm having trouble with my accuracy. I'm 6'2" so I am thinking stock length is too short. Does it make more sense to go to a pro to be fitted or are fitting systems in the stores just as good?

[superscootkid]

@SoJo414 i believe six 2 is right inbetween stock and extra long shafts my dad is six two and uses extra long shafts

[DLTJR1959]

@SoJo414

That does not make sense...

I am 5'7" with a 28-1/2" inseam...

When going through the Ping measuring system my numbers show either a standard length club or one that is 1/4" shorter with a standard lie...

Personally, it's all about hitting the ball in the sweet spot on the club face...

With enough practice you can hit a club that is too long or too short for your measurements even with the incorrect lie...

It is just much easier to hit it good with a correct fitting...

Great vid Mark. Because I'm only 5'6" and have just used standard clubs, i've always caught the club at the heel, like the upright club in your vid, and just didn't know it. I just got fitted for the first time by a pro. Ordered TM Burner 2.0 with reg flex shafts, 3.5* flat, 0.5 inch shorter shafts....Should be here in 10 days, hopefully they will feel better and will improve my game.

[matti2112]

Hi mark, great vid as usual. I have an 80ish mph swing. I would like more height on my irons and especially on my wedges. Would I get better results from a reg shaft in my wedges as opposed to the wedge flex currently in them?

[thefonz147]

hi mark great videos! can you explain how NOT getting fitted for clubs, but adjusting one's setup to suit the clubs can affect ones swing and ballflight? (ie. standing taller to suit a club that's too upright, or bending over more to suit a club that's flatter). i recently just got fitted for clubs (jpx800, 2deg flat) using standard clubs i found that my shoulder plane was too flat in comparison with my club plane being too upright. i hope this makes sense?

[weedjrs]

nice vid, as usual

[Everythinggolf1]

mark i hit the ball flush most of the time but have noticed my pitches to the green are coming off the toe of the club, is this because im standing to far away?

great vids by the way

[Jsuss63]

I am thinking about getting the callaway razr x irons or the mizuno jpx 800 or the mizuno mp 53. which one would you prefer.

[evergeendata]

Mark, please discuss your opinion on how the shaft length effects results during fitting. thanks

[prorobo]

Great tips. I got fitted at Golf Galaxy before I bought my first set of irons and lucky enough the standard lie was perfect for me. I'm looking to get a new set this season and will get fit again just to be sure.

[theMANxGOLFER]

What's the best way to evaluate Driver length and lie? They don't hit the ground and a lot of driver swings are more about inconsistency in the swing and contact than the lie. Please recommend a way to evaluate on the range to give the pro an idea of tendencies that will help them.

[mcgroogtube]

thanks for this to clear up how the upright and flat affects shots, im 6 foot 2 and have standard length and lie im pretty sure, when i got fit like a week ago i was hitting off the toe more so he put my specs to 2 degrees upright and half inch longer, and also wedges he made half inch longer and reg lie because he said the length would make the lie flat. Is this sounding proper?

[seve17golf]

i got custom fitted for my taylormade r9 tps best thing i ever did got fit to 2 degrees flat. by the way love the videos

[helvetesjevla]

Great videos mate!

Im so bummed out right now, brother sold me he's newly purchased TaylorMade Burner Superlaunch last summer for right about 110euro so i couldnt say no =) (the still go for about 565euro in sweden). Problem is that their flex is regular and I've got a feeling that im a person that wouldnt go better with stiff ;/

When do you guys think that customfitting is worth it handicap-wise and on what sort of price-range clubs? Im only at 26 at about now, started last summer for real.

[MrMbentley73]

cheers mate!

Was custom fit for irons using Mizuno DNA at an AG store hitting into a net with a launch monitor and then had a Driver fitting at The Belfry using Ping's nFlight software/launch monitor into a full range - ended up with R11.

Obviously full range it better but the Mizuno DNA is very good too

[MrMbentley73]

what if you have half decent clubs already can they custom fit them for me? cost?

[thenofxlagwagon]

it depends where you go, but lie bending will typically cost between $10-20 per club. most golf shops will do this. @MrMbentley73

[xProAimX]

Yeah great video thanks and do u get back to messages?

[Frithlogics]

Seems that custom fitting is the only way to go!

Thank You!
