Golf Club Fitting FAQs
What to bring, how long fittings take, who should get fit and what happens after the fitting.
Book a Club FittingWhat is a golf club fitting?
A fitting compares your current equipment with different heads, shafts and specifications using ball-flight and club-delivery data. The goal is to identify combinations that improve performance for your swing.
How long does a fitting take?
It depends on the service. Specialty fittings are generally about 1 hour, driver and iron fittings about 1.5 hours, and a full-bag fitting about 3.5 hours.
What should I bring?
Bring comfortable golf shoes, a glove and the comparable club you currently use. For example, bring your current driver to a driver fitting so we have a baseline.
Are fittings only for low-handicap golfers?
No. Beginners, seniors, juniors and higher-handicap golfers can all benefit from equipment that better matches their swing and physical setup.
Should I wait until I finish taking lessons?
Not necessarily. If your current equipment is clearly mismatched, a fitting can remove equipment variables while you continue improving your swing.
What happens during an iron fitting?
We typically use a 7-iron as the primary test club to compare head and shaft combinations, then use the resulting data to determine specifications for the full set.
Can I buy the clubs after the fitting?
Yes. We work with a wide range of equipment and shaft manufacturers and can help order equipment based on the fitting results.
Can you check loft, lie, length and other specs?
Yes. The Build Shop can check and adjust specifications including length, loft, lie, grip size, shaft-related measurements and swing weight where appropriate.
Can you build or repair the clubs in-house?
Yes. Our Mitchell-trained club builders handle repair, specification work and custom assembly through The Build Shop.
