There were lessons from their presentation that can be valuable for you if you want to be properly fit for golf clubs.  Here they are:

• Finding out the expectations a golfer has for a custom fitting is very important.  What does the golfer expect to achieve - but then also, feedback from the fitter on what are realistic expectations from a custom fitting.

• A normal question to ask in a fitting is what is the golfer's average score.  BUT an even better question to ask - and be asked - is what is the RANGE of scores that a golfer achieves.  This gives the fitter an indication of the consistency the golfer presently achieves.

• What is the typical ball flight that the golfer has for his golf shots?  BUT in addition is the golfer achieving this ball flight with his shots (fade, pull hook, etc.) during the fitting.  Bill noted that if he sees that the golfer is not achieving what he says his ball flight is during a fitting, he stops the fitting - something is not right and it is not likely the fitting will produce good results.

• They noted that the major goals of their fittings is to find a club combination that results in the club path and face angle, at impact, being within about 2 degrees of each other - and to achieve center-of-face contact.  When this happens, the golfer will get great results in terms of distance and accuracy of shots.

• Finally, they noted that - yes - increased distance is important and most often one of the golfer's expectations.  BUT Shot Dispersion is also a key goal for any custom fitting.  When during a fitting you find increased distance and minimal shot dispersion, you know you have found a club setup that will truly help the golfer.

The golfer who was the "exam subject" has played his best golf since he started playing with his new irons.  Wishon 771 CSI heads, Aerotech i70 A flex shafts - clubs MOI and frequency matched.  Congratulations Dan and Bill on your Masters Certification!
