Long Distance Club Fitting

Fri, 07/08/2011 - 17:00 -- Don Trahan

If you'€™ve been on our blog for any length of time you know how important having the right equipment is. That was the main purpose for setting up the Swing Surgeon Certified Club Fitters program, which continues to grow every week it seems.

Well now we'€™ve gone a step, a big step, further. It took us about 18 months of testing and re-testing, but it'€™s here at last. Our Director of Club Fitting, "€œDoc"€ Griffin, created a video for you so I'€™m going to let him break the news. I think it'€™s going to be a turning point for you and your golf game.

Thanks, Lynn.

Keep it vertical,

The Surge!

Hi Surge. Thank you for your terrifice website and instructions. The have helped me tremendously.

My question is; Would I receive the same effect of shortening my driver by choking up two inches and adding a little lead tape to the driver head? I have a Nicklaus ML4 driver that I really like and would love to keep it.

Thanks again, Surge and continued good health.

Hi Bri. Yes Surge does recommend choking down on your driver if you are unable to get it shortened. You could try choking down a 1/4 inch at a time and mark it with a rubber band, until you find where you are hitting the sweet spot most often. Or you could get your wrist to floor measurement and use the chart below to give you a starting point, and then experiment either side of that. You could try a little bit of lead tape, but be carefull where you put it. To near the toe or heel will change the dynamics of the clubhead. Lead tape is best used after cutting the shaft down, which is the best long term solution, and done by a fitter
