Lower Your Handicap With New Custom Made Golf Clubs

You have been playing golf~ You've been a golfer }fora number of years and now you are really starting to get into the game. You have been working hard and your game has improved. You’ve lowered your scores by taking lessons and working on the range. However, you are still using the same set of clubs that you bought off the rack at the golf shop or an old set you picked up from one of your pals . So now you are wondering if a set of custom made golf clubs can help make you a better golfer . Most people who are not familiar with the game’s intricate details probably think that all clubs are made the same . Well, this would be the same thing as saying that every person is built the same way – pretty far fetched . A golf club, while having the same general specifications for each club in terms of loft and length of shaft , are very different when comparing one model to another. This is because clubs can be made to fit the swing specifications of each individual golfer which can help them capitalize on the attributes of their swing . Consider this , if a person is taller than 6'2" or shorter than 5’7” then clubs should likely be made either longer or shorter in length in order for the golfer to achieve the correct swing plane with their clubs . If the clubs are too short, then a person has to bend over more than necessary to strike the golf ball correctly . This changes their swing plane and, as a result , will change the distance the golf ball can carry . If the clubs are too long, the golfer will have to chokeup on the clubs in order to swing around their body correctly which will tend to hinder the swing. Another thing that will dramatically affect how the golf ball flies is the flex of the golf club in relation to the swing speed of the golfer . If a golfer has a slow swing speed , then the shaft needs to have more flex in order to get the ball into the air . If the club is too stiff, then the golfer will not be able to get the club square at the point of impact either and will just end up slicing the golf ball . A golfer with a fast swing tempo will need clubs that have less flex or bend in the shaft. If the club is too whippy , then the shaft will tend to roll over at impact and the golfer will generally just end up hooking the ball . So shaft flexibility is another reason why custom fit golf clubs is the way to go for most golfers. When it comes to golf club shafts, there are a ridiculus number of various shafts on the market today. Each one has its own particular specifications in terms of flex (how far it bends), flex point ( the point at which it bends), and torque (the amount of twist of the shaft ). Each specification will affect how the golf ball comes off the club face at impact depending on the swing tempo and swing plane of the golfer. Matching the specifications of the golf club shaft to the golfer is a requirement of the custom fitting process.
