Our new video series will help explain the club fitting process.

Weight and Biomechanics Think Balance Point Taken in part from Roy Nix at AGCPgolf.com When we have an outside in clubhead path we can often add additional weight to the club and change it to inside out. This may also close the clubhead as well. This is contrary to what happens if we have an inside out swing and open the clubface. When we do this the golfer does not consciously feel the weight change even while it changes his swing path and face angle at impact. Just pick...Continue reading

Ultimate and Penultimate Balance Now The Choice is yours. Do you want more distance, better accuracy and precision, the perfect trajectory, and the best backspin obtainable? Then the answer is to have a club that feels and performs the best. In this article, I talk about a new way of making a golf club feel better and will, therefore, perform optimally. Six essential attributes of a golf club should be optimized: Distance Accuracy... Precision Trajectory Backspin and Feel. In my opinion, feel is the most critical attribute. If a club does not feel right, it just won’t perform. We will adjust our swing to fit the club and not let it do its job of striking the ball. For years we have been searching for the perfect feel. From an engineering perspective for a set of irons to be perfectly matched, the clubmaker must balance the club’s three properties. These properties are the mass or weight of the club, the first moment as represented by the swing weight of the club, and the second moment as measured by the moment of inertia or MOI of the club. To match all three properties, we need single-length irons. The term I use for this balance is the ultimate balance. But some people prefer the feel and look of the traditional irons that vary in length. It is nearly impossible to balance all three properties using conventional irons. Historically we have tried. In the 1930s, clubmakers found that if we matched irons to the correct balance using a scale, the irons performed better than if they were not balanced. Thus, the swing weight was born. In the 1990ss, clubmakers began to move away from swing weighting. They worked on methods of matching the clubs using the moment of inertia of MOI of the club. They found that this form of matching improved the feel and performance of golf clubs even more. But with the technology at hand, we could not do both swing weight matching and swing weight matching without using a lot of lead tape. Some people counter balanced with lead tape and some with weights inserted in the butt of the club, but we were never able to achieve the ultimate balance matching using these means. With modern technology, I have developed a procedure that will allow me to match two of the three properties using traditional irons. I call this the penultimate balance.

I see so many posts for online fittings. It would be nice if they really worked, and maybe they can. So let me tell you what I think is needed to do an online fitting, that is worth marginally more than buying clubs off the rack. First and foremost you need to understand what your strengths and weaknesses really are. I am talking actually measuring the distances of each club, not guessing or saying I hit this club to the 150 yd marker. So you need to go out on the course and... measure how far you hit your driver and at least one of your irons. You need to keep track of what your big miss is. By that I mean do you top the ball, or hit it fat. Do you hook it more than you slice it? What is your dispersion? Next, you need to take a video from the face on and if possible down the line. You need to be able to measure the time it takes from when you start your backswing until when you strike the ball. The video should be in slow motion so that you can see when you release your hands. Next comes the hard one. You need to start off with a shaft that is longer than you should use and choke down until you can repeatedly hit the center of the clubface. You tell you are hitting the center of the clubface by spraying Dr. Sholl's foot powder on it. You need to do this with both irons and the driver. You should record that length. Finally the one that is next to impossible you need to figure out a way to try different weighted shafts. The weight can be the root of all golfing evils. Without this last step, you are only 70% there. If you have any questions give me a call. I would love to talk with you even if you do not buy a thing. 706 910 2614

Hey, I bet you either love to play golf or know people who love to play golf. Some of those kind soles hurt when they play. Arthritis is a killer. Did you know that by choosing the right equipment they might be able to play with far less pain? Why don't we have a cup of coffee and I can show you how we can work together? I am hosting a coffee on 5/30 where we can talk about this. Since only 6 people can fit in my space without violating social distancing, please call first. Thanks Dan

From the Crackerjack Clubfitter by Roy Nix. "Chapter 1: Do Not Buy Any Golf Clubs Until You Get a Fitting! The reason for the fitting is to determine what you need to buy, not to adapt what you already bought! The purpose of the custom fitting is to determine what head design is best for you, what shafts are best for you, and what kind of clubs you need in your set. What design and loft for your driver, what designs and lofts and how many fairways, how many hybrids, how many irons, how many wedges. What is the best combination of clubs in your bag to help you play better and score better?" Nix, Roy. Cracker Jack Clubfitter - How Custom Clubfitting will help you play better Golf .
