Golf Club Fitting For Ladies

Golf club fitting for ladies has long been overlooked so there are very limited options available, until just recently. This doesn't mean that the offers for ladies golf clubs are already at par with those for men. But this fact shouldn't discourage lady golfers out there! Having a good set of properly fitted golf clubs will help you improve your game and have more fun on the greens.


Why is it essential for you to get a good club fitting? The answer is quite obvious. Every player is unique in terms of golf swing and body type. Having yourself fitted by a qualified professional will get you clubs that are totally compatible with you, and this eliminates the need for you to overly manipulate the club during the swing. While it's true that buying standard clubs will save you some effort, time and money, it's a known fact that these standard clubs will only fit around 10 to 15 percent of golfers. The rest require measurements that are shorter or longer than the mainstream products.


During the golf club fitting session, the professional fitter will get the following information: your swing speed, the right clubs for you, your correct club length, your handicap or skill level, the right lie angle, the right grip size for your clubs and how often or how seldom you play golf. The duration of the session will vary depending on whether you are asking for a fitting for a complete set, drivers, or irons. To set your expectations, you will be required to hit a quite a lot of balls during the fitting session, so it's best to go there when you are well-rested.


For some, finding a professional fitter is a challenge. In reality, it isn't. You just have to know where to look. Ask your golfer friends, search online for qualified fitters in your area, and as soon as you find a fitter, know the right questions to ask to make yourself feel more at ease with the club fitter.


Golf club fitting can do so much for you. Just know the basics on how to get your kit prepared.
