Iron Fitting
During the
iron fitting process, the fitter will
determine which model and specifications
best meet the individual golfer's needs to
enable better scoring.
The Golf Shot will observe current ball flight tendencies, personal swing characteristics, and discuss your preferred ball flight, carry distances and ball-stopping performance expectations. The Golf Shot offers a variety of iron models and shaft combinations from all the leading manufacturers to fit your game, with various profiles, offset, loft progression, and aesthetic properties. LengthThe proper iron length will allow for ideal posture at address and will result in the most consistent on-center impact.
The length fitting
process will begin by
testing a standard
length 6-iron with face
impact tape. Depending
on shot distribution,
golf swing, posture and
ball flight results, the
player will continue
testing 6 irons at
various lengths until
on-center impact marks
have been achieved and
ball striking optimized.

Iron ball flight is
largely based on the
player's swing
characteristics, which
can be fine-tuned with
varying head and shaft
properties. Regardless
of a player's individual
trajectory, the selected
irons should provide
specific yardage gaps
and ball stopping
ability throughout the
set.
Shaft FlexProper shaft flex allows the player to load the shaft properly and maximize energy transfer to the ball. Quicker tempo swings generally require heavier shafts and firmer flexes, while smoother tempos may benefit from lighter weight shafts with softer flexes. Most players will benefit from softest flex that produces controllable and consistent ball flight. Shaft TypeThe shaft largely plays two roles – it impacts the golfer's feel during the swing and alters the ball flight due to properties such as flex point and weight. The ideal shaft type produces the player's preferred trajectory, feel and performance. During the fitting process, players will test different shafts in search of the combination of properties that field the desired ball flight. Shaft Models The Golf Shot offers all the latest golf shafts from all the leading manufacturers in the golf industry. Demo iron shafts from Accra, Fujikura, KBS, Matrix, Nippon, Rifle, True Temper and Tour Concept. Iron Set CompositionIf not already completed, our fitter will determine the longest iron which produces a playable trajectory using Long Game Performance Charts. More and more PGA Tour players recreational golfers are removing long irons from their bag due to the performance benefits of utility clubs. A playable trajectory is defined as a high launching trajectory that produces maximum carry distance with a descending angle that will allow the ball to stop on a green with control. |
