Custom Fitting Centre of Excellence
Club Fitting
Here at the Dorset Golf & Country Club, we offer a custom fitting service that allows all golfers to enjoy golf equipment which has
been specifically adapted to their individual needs. Custom fitting can be used to achieve many different aims, such as:
- Adapting the club/s to allow for a players physical dimensions
(taller/shorter/large hands etc) - Reducing the destructiveness of a consistent swing fault, without physically altering the golfers technique
- To encourage the correct technique i.e. the player would no longer have to compensate for a component of the club/s that does not fit them correctly
- To eliminate a specific shot e.g. hook, slice etc
By making simple adjustments to the specifications of a “standard” set of clubs, the golfer who has been custom fitted would find it far easier to return the club, to the ball, in a square position at impact. Custom fitting will also benefit every golfer, at all levels. At its
more technical level, custom fitting can build low handicap golfers and professionals a more efficient swing by refining ball spin and trajectory, to compliment their already proficient technique. Higher handicap players can use adjustments in lie angles and shafts to overcome repetitive swing faults. Improvers and beginners need well fitted equipment to encourage the correct address position, which will allow them to develop a consistent and reliable technique.
PING Fitting Cart
Our experienced and well trained team of PGA Professionals are able to make exacting assessments of your needs. They will consider your physical dimensions during the “static fit” as well as your technique, the “dynamic fit”. A hitting session is the only reliable way to produce accurate and correct results.
A custom fitting session here at the Dorset Golf & Country Club will last between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the nature of the fitting session.
One of the best things about the custom fitting service we offer is it’s free! Whenever you purchase a driver, a set of irons, a wedge or putter from us, your custom fit won’t cost you a penny. Whether you are looking to buy a brand new set or simply looking to see if you could tweak any of your existing clubs, please feel free to make any enquiries with the Golf Shop, who will be more than happy to offer any advice they can.
So unless your clubs have been professionally fitted, they could be responsible for the less than desirable parts of your game.
