EVEN IF YOU\u2019RE\u00a0new to golf, you\u2019ve probably noticed that there are many ways to invest time and money in the pastime. But what pays the biggest dividends for most players\u2014especially those having problems with their game\u2014is to have their clubs refitted. According to Christopher Veach, head PGA professional at Carmel\u2019s Plum Creek Golf Club<\/a>, these are key reasons to consider a refit:<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve taken lessons. Improvements in your swing can amplify the negative effects of poorly fitted clubs. The result? You undo your progress by trying to compensate, often without even realizing it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve replaced a part on your clubs. While upgrading parts is recommended every 3\u20135 years, especially for woods, it can necessitate a refit. <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been working out. Losing weight and increasing strength and flexibility changes your swing mechanics. The opposite is also true if you\u2019ve put on a few pounds or been laid up after an injury since you last played. <\/p>\n

During a fitting, the shaft\u2014the long, narrow part of the club connecting the grip to the clubhead\u2014is evaluated. A shaft that\u2019s too stiff can reduce distance, while one that\u2019s too flexible can lead to erratic shots. Your fitter will also look at the lie angle (how the club head sits on impact with the ball) and possibly replace or adjust the grips. When the time comes for a new set of clubs, a full fitting is a given. In the meantime, much can be done with your still-
serviceable clubs to improve performance. Professional fitting technicians can be found through True Clubs<\/a> in Carmel and Fairway Custom Golf<\/a>\u00a0in Fortville. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo by Mike Botkin EVEN IF YOU\u2019RE\u00a0new to golf, you\u2019ve probably noticed that there are many ways to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-564021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
