Custom Fitting a Driver







Custom fitting a driver is essential to maximize distance and accuracy off the tee. Here are the steps to custom fit a driver:

  1. Determine the correct length: The length of your driver should be based on your height, arm length, and swing speed. A longer shaft can increase clubhead speed but also make it harder to control. A club fitter can help you determine the correct length for your specific needs.
  2. Choose the correct loft: The loft of your driver should match your swing speed and launch angle. A higher loft can help golfers with slower swing speeds get the ball in the air, while a lower loft can help golfers with faster swing speeds reduce spin and increase distance. A club fitter can help you determine the correct loft for your swing.
  3. Select the right shaft weight, flex, and profile: The shaft of your driver should match your swing speed, tempo, path and attack angle. A softer flex can help golfers with slower swing speeds generate more clubhead speed, while a stiffer flex can help golfers with faster swing speeds control their ball flight. A club fitter can help you determine the correct shaft for your swing.
  4. Determine the correct swing weight: The swing weight of your driver can affect your swing speed, control, and launch angle. A heavier driver can help golfers with a quick tempo maintain control, while a lighter driver can help golfers with a slower tempo generate more clubhead speed. A club fitter can help you determine the correct swing weight for your swing.
  5. Test and adjust: Once you have selected a driver that meets your needs, it is important to test it on the range and make any necessary adjustments. This may include adjusting the loft, lie angle, or weight of the driver. A club fitter can help you make these adjustments and ensure that the driver is properly fitted to your swing.

Overall, custom fitting a driver can help you optimize your performance off the tee. Working with a club fitter can help you find the right driver head, shaft and grip and make any necessary adjustments to maximize distance and accuracy.
