Falling short and missing the green isn’t always a result of poor club selection or a swing problem. Sometimes it’s simply a case of playing with equipment that’s not right for you.

How can your equipment work against you? It could be an iron lie angle that’s too upright for you, causing the face to close at impact and hook your ball. It could be a driver shaft that’s too stiff for your swing speed, making it difficult to generate clubhead speed and square the face at impact. Perhaps your putter has too much toe hang for your arch type, or your wedges have too little bounce for your angle of attack. The best way to know for sure is to come in for a fitting.

When you get fitted, you’re getting so much more than a personalized club setup. You’re getting the satisfaction of better ball striking and lower scores. Why not give that gift to a friend or family member.
