(NC)—Buying new clubs that are right for you is only half the equation, says Barry Wallis, on-staff golf professional at Callaway Golf Canada. Just as important, he says, is getting properly fitted for those clubs.
While custom fitting was once considered a luxury, it should be a common practice for anyone looking to buy a new set of clubs, explains Wallis.
"Virtually everyone's golf swing is unique, which is why it's critical to be sure your clubs are set up specifically for you," says Wallis. "A simple half-hour session can elevate your game immediately. Like anything that can be fitted, custom is always better."
While many retailers and golf course pro shops can manually fit people for their clubs, Callaway Golf Canada now has both a Mobile Performance Team, which custom fits on site at participating golf course facilities with vector launch systems, as well as Performance Centres in Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto that utilize the latest technology used to fit touring professionals. The overwhelming demand at the original fitting centre in Toronto led to the launch of the new centres in Calgary and Vancouver this spring.
Cutting-edge computer analysis, high-speed digital technology and hands-on expertise of certified club-fitting professionals combine to analyze a number of important swing factors.
"We take into consideration clubhead speed, ball speed, angle of attack, launch angle, ball spin rate, carry distance and total distance," says Wallis. "With all this logged onto the system, we can then fit a golfer for shaft lengths, flexes and blade angles that fit their game."
