club fitting

[acetoolguy]

My wife bought me a club fitting for Christmas this year. With spring soon arriving I'm going to schedule it in the next couple of weeks. Looking for advise on how to get the most bang for my buck. I have not played in a few months, should I get a few rounds in first? Do they look at your swing mechanics? Speed? Body size? All of the above?

Thanks for sharing any thoughts.

1. If you are looking to replace your clubs, spend some time hitting new clubs so you have an idea of what you want to hit during the fitting.
2. Spend some time a the range or hitting in golf shop test bays to get comfortable. Fitting bays can be a bit darker than hitting outside.
3. Don't worry about mechanics for the session. They are fitting you to your current swing.
4. The fitter will be measuring you and evaluating your current set up. If you are sticking with your current set, they will make adjustments to the set for loft/lie.
5. Warm up well especially if you are older. Arrive early and walk around to loosen up. Swing a club for a few minutes if possible then stretch. You want to be in your normal body state when doing the fitting, not tight and cold.
