Part of our Customer Stories series, we’ve put together a selection customers who came to see us, follow their story of custom fitting by ForeGolf.
Aaron – Junior golfer who progressed faster with ForeGolf clubs.
Background
Aaron was 13 when he was first custom fitted by ForeGolf.
Transition
Aaron is an interesting example of a golfer who has played with correctly custom fitted clubs from a young age. Aged 13 he had a 21 handicap but now plays off 14.
As he grew and got stronger, now aged 18 generates a higher club head speed (stronger swing). He originally had a Nippon 950 stiff shaft and now a Rifle 5.5. The heavier weight shaft was introduced for more stability and better control by managing the flex through weight – so the feel stays in tact.
Generally speaking when someone gets stronger most custom fitters would say, put them into a stiffer shaft. We would never generalise as there will always be an exception. What would have happened to Aaron is that he would have lost feel in the club head with a stiffer shaft and it would have affected his tempo (which means he would not be able to time the hit).
In this case, feel came before flex, custom fitting is never the same recipe every time. We gave him the Rifle 5.5 and managed the flex through a heavier weight rather than just a stiffer flex.
