Custom Club Fitting

Many of our staff have completed specialized fitting courses and seminars sponsored by major fit experts like Ping, Mizuno, Tour Edge and Callaway to name a few. We can help your game by fitting the correct club to your swing.

For the golfer wanting an extra edge, custom clubfitting may be just what you're looking for. However, custom fitting is beneficial only if the golfer produces the same swing the majority of the time. If changes are made to a manufacturer's standard specs in order to suit the golfer's current swing, then the golfer may expect positive results, as long as the swing is consistent 70% of the time.

Also, golfers looking for a custom fit should examine the quality that separates one company from the next. Some smaller 'club-fitting' companies offer less expensive brands. Be sure to determine which club you are getting the best performance out of. Try the club before making the purchase. Remember that the club fitter doesn't have to play your golf clubs. You do! So, try the recommended, spec adjusted club before you purchase it.

At Bobick's, these are the areas that we will cover to determine not just a custom fit, but the right fit for your game!

Vital Information:

• Current handicap and/or scoring average
• Average distance with a 5 iron and driver
• Normal ball flight and pattern
• Normal divot pattern (Toe or Heel depth & direction in relation to the target)
• Frequency of play per week or month
• Current make and model of existing clubs
• Strengths with old set
• Weaknesses with old set
• What are your short-term and long-term goals? Short & Long term?
• What will it take (beyond purchasing new clubs) to improve your enjoyment of the game?
• Any recent swing changes? Lessons?

Physical Measurements; (The Static Fit)

• Height
• Wrist-to-floor measurement
• size of hand

Each manufacturer has a prescribed way to statically fit their golf equipment. See the professionals at Bobick's to determine where your static measurements fit with your favorite brand.

Proper Grip:

• Physical grip checkpoints
• Does a different size or texture grip change the way you swing?

Shaft Length:

• Preference and satisfaction level with current length. Satisfactory distance and accuracy?
• Overall weight preference
• Graphite or steel shafts
• Distance and accuracy goals
• Physical limitations

Shaft Type:

• Determine shaft preference by flex, usually gauged by the amount of club head speed generated with a five iron and a driver. See Bobick's for manufacturers preferred shaft fits. Too stiff a shaft may result in loss of valuable distance while too flexible a shaft results in lack of control.
• Try different shaft flexes to determine the value of a good hit and a bad hit. Know how the shaft is supposed to perform when you hit the ball solidly.
• Any differences to trajectory or distance?

Lie Angle:

• Lie tape dynamic fit test. Place tape on flange of the club and strike a ball on a deflection board to see where the golf club is at impact, not at address. Many golfers think their correct lie at determined at setup. It is not! Get the correct fit at impact, not at setup!
• The Impressions should consistently be located in the center of the golf club. This will tell you if you have the correct lie. If your impressions are predominately on the toe, you need a more upright golf club. If Impressions are located on the heel, you need a flatter club.

State of the Art Fitting Tools

Vector Launch Monitor
The Vector Launch Monitor is the most precise launch monitor on the market. It improves your golf game by taking the guesswork out of club and ball fitting. Vector measures ball speed, vertical angle, backspin, sidespin and side angle of every shot. Data from the monitor increases our knowledge of your swing, which we can use to pinpoint the proper equipment that will significantly improve your game.

Callaway Fitting System
Callaway's Fitting Solution is the easiest way to custom fit your Callaway Golf clubs, and much more than just a cart full of irons. A Bobick's Golf professional uses Callaway's proprietary clubfitting software to interface directly with a radar launch monitor. This fitting experience measures your clubhead speed, post-impact ball speed, and impact efficiency. The numbers are paired with ball flight observations by our fit professional, then computed to generate your custom specifications. It's the ultimate in high-tech fitting, and it allows you to find the ideal Callaway club model, loft, shaft type, flex, length, lie, and grip size for your game.
