Benefits of Custom Fitting
There have been some misnomers when it comes to Custom Fitting. Some say they are not good enough for custom fit clubs.
The truth is that you probably aren’t as good as you can be without them. Custom Fitting is designed to maximize the
performance and enhance the enjoyment of your golf equipment. Matching the ideal equipment with each player is our goal.
What can be Customized?
Length The ability of the golfer to strike the ball consistently on the sweet spot is the determining
factor when deciding on the desired club length.
Shaft Shaft flex can affect distance, ball flight, trajectory and feel. Club head speed and tempo are key
measurements
Lie Angle Lie Angle influences both the set up position and how the ground affects the angle of the clubface
thought impact.
Loft Ball trajectory is the primary influence of loft.
Grip Small or Large hands and grip size are not the only determining factor for grip size.
Custom Fitting Myths
I’m just starting out…I’m not good enough for Custom Fit Clubs. False, You probably aren’t as good
as you can be!
I’ve been golfing for a while, I don’t need to be fitted. Maybe not, but depending on the brand you have been
using and perhaps taking into consideration some physical attributes you should be re-fit before buying another set of clubs.
I don’t need to get fitted in person, I can do it over the Web! Not all measurements are those that can gathered
by yourself. The Custom Fitting process is broken down into 2 distinct phases: Static and Dynamic. Some of the static measurements
you can obtain yourself, but the dynamic fitting is where your natural form is analyzed under the keen eye of your skilled
fitter to determine the "your" clubs!
It is more expensive to have clubs custom fitted. Actually, not true. Mizuno charges you no more to create you "your" perfect
equipment. You may be charged a fitter’s fee but most likely this can be applied to your new purchase.
Custom Fitting takes a lot of time and will delay my order. Definitely not. The actual fitting can take anywhere from 20
minutes to several hours – depending how how long it takes the fitter to collect all the information. Once all the information
has been obtained you should have your new set of clubs in about 5 business days!
