Does anyone remember the old admonition “If you spent THAT money on lessons instead of a new driver, you would really start to improve”?  I was one of those guys that spent the money on lessons and I DID improve.  The new millennium has a different admonition, but one that is as penetrating as the aforementioned warning.  It goes something like this:  “If you spent THAT money on a fitting, your clubs and ball would really work for you.”

Personalized club fittings (and now, ball fittings) are all the rage.  The professionals have done this for years, having accesible tour vans at every stop, to tweak and grind away their every concern.  You and I now have the option of visiting the Titleist Performance Institute, the Callaway Golf Performance Center, and the TaylorMade Motion Analysis Technology studio (at the cost of big bucks) to have our equipment tailor-fit to our postures, body types, heights, weights and swings.  Or…

We can go to one of the following sites and perhaps do it a little cheaper.  Here are one ball and three club sites for you to consider as you endorse the decision to personalize your equipment:

1.  Golf Ball Selector:  http://www.golfballselector.com

2.  HotStix:  http://www.hotstixgolf.com

3.  Loftus:  http://www.golfclubfittingsystem.com

4.  Top Golf:  http://www.fittingblog.com

I’ m fairly confident that you’ll understand the need to step up your connection with your clubs by submitting to a personalized fitting session.  Af for me, I’m there.  Look for my name in all the papers!
