When you think about Custom Fitting Your Golf Clubs, what do you think of first? Which aspects of Golf Clubs are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.
Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there’s more to Custom Fitting Your Golf Clubs than you may have first thought.
Every golfer’s physical capability and swing is distinctive. Many of today’s best golf clubs can be custom fit for lie angle, shaft type and length, grip type and size. Custom fitting golf clubs involves several easy measurements and a quick self-assessment of your game. This custom golf club has become more than a fad that even not so professional golfers test its waters.
Custom fitting is the process for tailoring a golf club to suit your personal swing.
Whatever your level, with a custom golf club the aim is to ensure that if you do make a good swing, the club will be square at impact and should produce a straight shot.
Custom Golf Club How To’s:
To custom fit your golf clubs, you need to know: your gender (male or female); your height in your stockings or socks; the distance from your wrist (where it bends) to the floor with your shoes off; your age; your handicap or skill level; how fast you swing a golf club; what club you use at the 150 yard marker.
Gender is used to put you into the correct fitting scale for custom golf clubs. The golf industry uses different definitions of “standard length” for men and women.
Your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to determine the length of a custom golf club that is appropriate for you. The starting point for club length can vary up to 3 ½-inch ranging from ladies to men plus 1 ½-inch. A tall person with long arms can very easily require shorter clubs than an average height person with short arms. About 80 percent of golfers are standard length.
Your age, handicap (if you happen to have one), self-assessed skill level, estimated golf swing speed and club you use at the 150 yard marker are all combined to determined the custom golf club’s shaft flex that is appropriate for you.
Custom fitting can fix your slice. If you slice the ball it means that the toe of the club is leading into the ball which opens the face of the club. That may be down to a swing fault, but it could be because the club is too flat. So as part of the custom fitting process you can make the custom golf club more upright to help with this. This will mean that the toe of the club will be slightly off the ground at address to compensate.
There are different methods of fitting according to custom golf club manufacturers but ultimately they are all trying to improve your game. To begin with simple measurements such as wrist-to-floor, height and hand size are taken and will point you to the right size club and at what angle it should be to the ground. Then you will take a club and hit some balls. One method is to place impact tape on the bottom of the custom golf club and an impact board on the floor.
As you hit the ball the board will leave a mark on the tape showing whether the heel or the toe of the custom golf club is striking the floor first. The resulting mark will show whether the club face needs to be flatter or more upright. Then things get a bit more advanced. Analysis equipment can measure everything from your club speed to the side spin of the ball so that you can get maximum distance from your shot. You can also measure the launch angle of the ball, how much backspin you generate and impact efficiency – all which affect distance. The angle in which the custom golf club approaches the ball and the sidespin of it can help fix your game too.
Rather than bringing down your old clubs, it might be better to start from scratch. It’s a big misconception that custom fitting is only for good golfers. Anyone can benefit. That said, if you plan to upgrade a new set of clubs with the same manufacturer they may be able to adjust your old set to become custom golf clubs.
Custom fitting won’t cure all your bad shots. Coaching will sort that out. But if you do make a good swing, then the custom golf club will arrive correctly at impact and should produce a straight shot at your target. That alone will save shots during a round.
Lastly, custom fitting is often free of charge. But it is usually on the condition that you buy some clubs once you’ve been fitted. So it really depends on what your budget is. If you’re prepared to buy a new set of clubs it’s definitely worth getting fitted.
Take time to consider the points presented above. What you learn may help you overcome your hesitation to take action.

High Holiday Nightspots with Low-cost Cheap Hotels
Large group holidays for the 18-30 market are all about going out, having fun and experiencing some of the best nightlife on offer in some of the premier beach resorts in the world.
One of the biggest mistakes of booking a large group holiday is overspending on the hotel. If you are going to truly experience (and afford) the delights a destination has to offer, then beds should almost be an optional extra.
Here is our list of the best places to go for awesome nightlife with cheap hotels to boot.
Ibiza
Clubbing and Ibiza are so synonymous that the Oxford English Dictionary is considering rewriting the entry to: “Clubbing: see Ibiza”. Ibiza is clubbing and if you want some of the best atmosphere in the world for dancing and romancing then Ibiza is the place to be.
Pacha, Privilege and Manumission are three of the biggest names on the island, and rightly so, parties don’t get much bigger or louder than the island that never sleeps. Cheap hotels are best in San Antonio, at the heart of the clubbing Mecca and a short stumble home after a massive night.
Magaluf
A second entry for the Balearics, Magaluf on the island of Majorca still has an electric club scene and in many cases is considerably cheaper than a night on the town in Ibiza. BCM is the best of the bunch in the resort attracting some of the big names such as Judge Jules, DJ Sammy and Erick Morillo.
Cheap hotels are available all over the island, but Palma Nova is best avoided as it is more family oriented. Stick to Torrenova for the best deals.
Faliraki
In Greece, they say there are more bars and clubs per capita in Rhodes than there are in New York or London. Whilst this is a nice apocryphal tale, there is plenty to light up your night out on the Greek island.
All Rhodes lead to Faliraki. Not really, but there are two main roads in Faliraki that you want to get acquainted with for the ultimate night out in Greece, simply named Bar Street and Club Street. There are no prizes for guessing which street caters for which entertainment. The cheapest hotels are just outside the centre of town.
Bodrum
Forget the stereotype of belly dancing Turkish girls dressed up like Princess Jasmine, a night out on the tiles in Turkey is one which revolves more around restaurants and bars than dancing and clubs. Bodrum is the best place to get social with the locals. The otherwise quite sleepy town is transformed by night to become a buzzing bazaar of late night bars.
The Fora Bar on the beach is a particular favourite with tourists and the natives. With the Turkish lira being weak against the pound, cheap hotels can be found in Bodrum for as little as £18 a night.
Malta
Malta has opened up in recent years to the European clubbing scene and is fast becoming a hotspot for British tourists. One thing about Malta is that the weather is almost guaranteed to be scorching hot, as is the nightlife.
Tattingers in Rabat is fast growing a reputation for a blinding night out, and becoming a serious rival to some of the top clubs in Ibiza.Cheap hotels are available in St Julians and Paceville, at the heart of club land in Malta.
