Buying Custom Golf Clubs (Part 1)

If you’re considering getting yourself (or someone else for that matter) a set of custom fitted golf clubs, there just a few bits of information you need to know about yourself and your game.

There are many different methods people will use to determine the criteria needed in order to build the custom golf clubs for you.

However, most all eventually base the input off of the same basic information.

To custom fit your golf clubs you will need to know just a couple of measurements along with some basic personal information.

Your height (no shoes on)
The distance from your knuckles to the floor while standing upright (again no shoes on)

This is basically the math part.

The person building your custom golf clubs will need to know the overall make up of the total inches of your body.

For instance one person who is 6ft tall may have their height in their legs putting their hands higher off the ground while someone who has their height in their torso would have their hands closer to the ground. Same height different club shaft length requirements. Although the vast majority of golfers will be very close to if not standard length, the difference in proper shaft length for the golf clubs could vary by a few inches and make a big difference.

Other factors influencing the building of custom golf clubs include:

Your gender (because there is different ‘standard’ lengths between male and female).
Your Age.
Handicap.
Your average club head speed.
Knowing the distance you hit you mid irons (5 iron more specifically) is helpful.

The reason for the age, club head speed, or distance you hit your mid irons is because these factors will come into play when determining the flex of the shaft of the golf club that best fits your game.
