Long Game Fitting

Too often golfers are held back by their choice of long game clubs that inhibit their ability to score when faced with longer shots. The benefit of a long game fitting is to provide the correct combination of fairway woods, utility clubs and long irons that produce playable trajectories and preferred yardage gaps.

Step 1: Evaluate Current Long Game Set Composition

The fitting process is best started by discussing and testing current fairways, utilities and long irons. During this step, the fitter will ask questions in search of areas of long game opportunity and any yardages that cause difficulty. The fitter will note carry distances, paying special attention to any clubs that produce small or large distance gaps.

Step 2: Determine the Longest Iron

The fitter will use Titleist Long Game Performance Charts to determine the longest iron which produces a playable trajectory. More and more PGA Tour players are removing long irons from their bag due to the performance benefits of utility clubs.

Step 3: Determine the Best Long Fairway Metal

The fitter will prescribe a club that attains the proper combination of launch conditions (ball speed, launch angle, backspin) to optimize ball flight and control when delivering maximum distance off the tee and turf.

Step 4: Calculate and Fill the Long Game Yardage Gap

The fitter will calculate the yardage gap between the longest iron and fairway metal selected. This gap, typically between 30 and 50 yards, can be segmented by an additional fairway metal and/or utility clubs. Many players choose to have larger gaps in their long game clubs in order to add wedges that minimize short game yardage gaps.

Step 5: Summarize

After completing a Long Game Fitting the golfer will have determined the specifications and set composition for all clubs between your longest iron and driver. These clubs will instill the confidence to execute the most demanding long-game shots. Because we believe that every club is a scoring club.
