PERSONAL FITTING PROCESS

Custom golf clubs are anything from a single club to a full set of woods, which have been custom specified and assembled just for you. They may work for somebody else and other people will probably love your Professionally Assembled and Swing Weighted and Balanced Custom Golf Clubs. But your clubs were assembled with your personal measurements, ability factors, as well as preferences which make them unique and one of a kind. The number 1 problem facing golfer's today is that they are playing with equipment that is not suited for them and though a person may be accurate and a low handicapper, they are still losing out some were in there total golf game picture.

To make an analogy that most average, recreational golfer's will be familiar with we will compare buying a new set of custom golf clubs to buying a new suit or dress, there are three ways you can go about this;

Option 1 - You go to a clothes shop and browse around until you see something fashionable and then buy it and hope it fits you OK and is comfortable. That is the normal way most people buy their golf clubs. Only the fact that is with held from them is that 1 out of 15 golfers who purchase in this manner will be leaving with golf equipment that is closely suited for their playing abilities.

Option 2 - You can go to the same shops and try a few different designs, maybe even mix and match top and bottom of the outfit, and eventually you will get something that fits OK but you may need to have altered, within the leeway the existing clothing gives on sizes and lengths and quite a lot of people will get a reasonable fit. This is very similar to custom fitting your new golf clubs, limiting you to the shafts in the clubs you see as well as the flex it is said to be. Or what you are supposed to believe it is. Most companies will only extend or reduce by 1/2" so they can claim they are making custom when in fact they are still pre assembling. The shaft flexes will only be those stamped on the side of the shaft and are different for every shaft manufacturer, very rarely are these actually measured and you better match one of the five or six flexes available. Since the heads are already in place. This is done to give you the illusion of getting a club assembled to your personal fitting playing length. The simple fact is if a club is to be assembled properly, it can not be done unless it is swing weighted and balanced. Which can not be started until you have the proper flex and final playing length of the golfer? Since the word Custom is just what it means. There are shaft flexes of combination R/S. A/L, and depending on the information gathered a golfer could need to be in between the A and the R Flex, which is a true custom fitting and can not be accomplished once a shaft is tip trimmed to an R or S Flex.

Option 3 - If you wanted something that would last a long time and fitted really well from day one you would go to a bespoke out fitters, they would take all your measurements, find out exactly what you wanted the item for, how often it would be used, etc. This would cost a relative fortune but gives great results every time. This is the same as custom club building, but the good news is, unlike the clothing market this is normally less expensive, and never more expensive then the first option with N.Y.C.G., since we do not charge additional fees for swing weighting and Balancing as those companies who will do it if asked, but for a price.

Well, almost all golf club heads, with very few exceptions - if any - are made in the Far East, mainly China. We believe that all heads are made there but several of the big manufacturers just will not give a straight answer, try them!

Shafts, the most important part of the club, are made by a very few companies, but normally China, Bangladesh, Japan, etc. None of the big names make their own shafts, the majority fitting True Temper shafts, sometimes branded with their own name but never manufactured by them. Always being the True Temper Standard Steel shaft as well. Reported by True temper in their product descriptions.

Now when you pick up the magazines or discount shop offers are you looking for what suits fits you best or, more likely, the same clubs you thought Tiger or Vijay or Ernie or Annika were winning with last weekend?

This is a good time to dispel a widely held belief, the only similarity between the clubs you can buy and the clubs winning major pro tournaments is the branding. These pro golfers are paid anything up to seven figure sums of money to use these brands, they and their coaches specify every head, shaft and grip that makes up that set and somebody has to pay for that. So when you buy your set of Z43 Super Ping away irons you are paying for the components, the plush headquarters and the massive advertising and endorsements that made you notice them in the first place. But unlike the pro's, your clubs will be straight off an assembly line not swing weighted or balanced or even guaranteed to have been made by a club maker. You can very well end up with a set of clubs 3-PW that were made at 8 different times by who knows how many people.

A good custom club builder will use components made from at least as good raw materials as the big boys, as we do here at N.Y.C.G., often from the same foundries that produce there heads, offer the same shafts and grips and take the same amount of time to analyze your game and physique as the top pros get, because we don't pay for the names on our components, the club(s) assembled and designed just for you is an affordable possibility. With the biggest secret being that they will play and perform better for you every time if you were given the same club for which you’re custom club compared to. Beside the Personal Fitting form you are looking at about an hour or so of back and forth discussion to really talk with the club maker to assure you have covered all of the necessary information needed to get you the equipment that will perform at its optimal level for your measurements and playing ability. Anything less and you can count on getting equipment that will not perform for you as it truly should or will when these steps are taken to assure the quality and performance for your purchase.
Again a good club maker, and there are bad ones as in any walk of life, and those who are not even club makers just workers on an assembly line in a Factory, who are told to stand here and when this comes to you slap this in there and put this on there and push, then on to the next station. A Professional club makers Quality & craftsmanship is what his reputation and companies success is based on. With word of mouth, product demonstration being the best advertiser for the custom club company, There main concern as is ours here at NYCG should be the results of their fitting process and the out come of the finished product. I believe that each and every club I produce can make or break my reputation, so we treat them as if they were being assembled for the #1 Player in the World . If we work out a plan of action and go with it, but find it does not work we do not stop there. We keep on going until we find the answer for what it is you were looking to achieve. As a member of NYCG, you have your very own Personal Professional Club maker who you can be in direct contact with via phone or e-mail 6 days a week 12 hours a day minimum.
