The 5 Primary Game Improvement Factors Influenced by Custom Fitting

There are many custom fitting philosophies, each using slightly different terminology and methods to achieve the same core objective, maximizing the Five Primary Game Improvement Factors.  These factors are optimized by making precise adjustments to key clubhead, shaft, and grip specifications.  For example, adjusting lie angles can dramatically improve accuracy in irons and wedges, while selecting the proper shaft weight and EI profile can enhance consistency, feel, and even contribute to slight gains in distance.

​

Together, these refinements ensure every club in your set complements your natural swing mechanics and promotes more efficient, repeatable results.

​

The Five Primary Game Improvement Factors
​

  1. Distance:  Achieved by optimizing loft, shaft flex, and launch conditions to produce the ideal ball speed and trajectory for your swing.

  2. Accuracy:  Improved through precise lie angle, face angle, and weight distribution adjustments that help return the clubface square to the target line.

  3. Consistency:  Enhanced by matching club MOI, swingweight, and shaft profiles to create uniform feel and timing throughout the set.

  4. Trajectory:  Controlled by balancing launch angle and spin rate through proper shaft selection and head design, promoting predictable ball flight.

  5. Feel:  Refined through proper weighting, flex, and grip sizing to ensure the club reacts naturally to your swing tempo and provides clear feedback at impact.

 

Both custom fitting and retrofitting are designed with a single goal in mind, to optimize these Five Primary Game Improvement Factors for your unique swing.  Whether building a new set from premium component clubheads or rebuilding your current clubs to better suit your game, every decision, from shaft EI profile selection to precise swingweight or MOI matching, is guided by launch monitor data and professional expertise.  The result is a set of clubs that delivers improved distance, accuracy, consistency, trajectory, and feel, providing you with the confidence and performance that only true custom craftsmanship can achieve.

​​​​​​

The following static specifications and playing characteristics, such as club length, total weight, and balance should be carefully evaluated during the fitting process to maximize the Five Game Improvement Factors. Each specification can have a major effect, minor effect, or no effect on different aspects of performance. In some cases, a single specification may strongly influence one factor while having little or no impact on another. Understanding these relationships is essential to building or retrofitting a set of clubs that performs in complete harmony with your swing.

​

The key static specifications to be evaluated include:

​

  • Loft Angle

  • Lie Angle

  • Off  Set and Face Progression

  • Sole Grind

  • Sole Width and Radius

  • Center of Gravity (COG) Location

  • Clubhead MOI

  • Shaft Weight

  • Shaft Flex

  • Shaft Torque

  • Shaft EI Profile

  • Grip Size and Weight

  • Playing Length

  • MOI/Swingweight Matching

  • Total Playing Weight

  • Set Make Up
