BEFORE YOU GO
What else should you know?
How do I prepare for a fitting?
Start with what you want to solve, what a useful result would look like, and what you're willing to change or spend. You don't need to arrive with every answer. Write that down and share it with your fitter before testing starts.
What should I bring to a fitting?
Bring the clubs you play now, the ball you use, your usual shoes and glove, and any notes about your game. Your current clubs give the fitting a baseline, and the ball is part of that comparison. Pack those before the appointment.
What numbers should I know before a fitting?
Rough carry distances, common misses, gaps, and clubs you avoid are useful. You don't need perfect records. A few notes from the course help your fitter understand what happens outside the bay. Start with which club missed and where it went.
What questions should I ask my fitter?
Ask about the reasoning: what are we looking for, what changed in my misses, and is the difference bigger than my normal variation? You can also ask what the fitter is less certain about. Pick the questions that matter to your goal and bring them with you.
Do I have to buy clubs that day?
No. You should leave with the recommended build, why it was chosen, and what happens next. You can order later, or not at all.
Should I go in open-minded or with preferences?
Have preferences and say them out loud. What you like looking at, how something feels, and which clubs you trust are useful information. Stay open to what the testing shows, and tell your fitter those preferences at the start.
What happens in a good fitting?
A good fitting starts with a conversation, gives you a fair comparison, and explains the reasoning behind the changes. Averages, misses, and spread matter alongside your best shots. Ask how the session will run and what information you'll leave with.
Should my fitting be outdoors or indoors?
Both have tradeoffs. Indoors gives controlled conditions; grass lets you see turf interaction. The ball available for testing matters too. Ask how you can check turf-dependent results on grass if your fitting is indoors.
