Is club-fitting about fitting the clubs to the swing, or fitting the clubs to what the swing should be. Do most golfers want a magic club to fix an errant swing? Can a magic club fix an errant swing? I started golf in 1971. By 1980 I was playing Tommy Armour persimmon woods and Wilson Staff irons, all with steel shafts, no lob wedge, a balata ball, and shooting 81 consistently. A friend once told me I was the best 81 shooter he ever saw. It’s now 2005 I have a 45” long, Fujikura graphite shafted, 420cc, Titanium driver, frequency matched, MOI’d, spined, and what not . Perimeter weighted, forged cavity back irons with every different steel shaft imaginable, tour wedges, a belly putter, and the best golf balls known to man. Yes, I am 25 years older, but I’m still a consistent 81 shooter. Do you think it’s the arrow or the Indian? I’m now practicing my flying wedges, my grip, my pressure points, and alignments and hitting some shots that I’ve never dreamed of, (not all great). 34 years of bad habits to change. The proper swing is the cake and the fitted clubs are the icing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a club nut, but I finally see the fog slowly lifting. Let’s stay on track.
