Frequently Asked Questions
How will being fitted for clubs improve your game?
Off-the-rack” golf clubs are made to standard specifications configured to fit the average golfer with average specs.

Custom fit golf clubs maximize the characteristics of YOUR individual golf swing, which will allow you to get the most success and enjoyment from your golf game.
What are the characteristics that affect club fitting?
The PGA Professionals at Man O’ War Golf use their expertise, Launch Monitor Technology, and multiple testing methods to determine what clubs will allow you to get the most out of your game. Testing of the following variables will ensure you receive a proper fit:
Shaft Length
Lie Angle

Club Head Speed

A thorough club-fitting usually lasts about 45 minutes to one hour. Club-fittings can be scheduled for any day of the week by simply calling the Man O’ War Golf Shop at 859-259 - GOLF (4653).
Why Club Fittings on the Internet DON'T WORK!
Each golf swing is unique, much like a fingerprint. Golf club manufacturers continue to develop clubs that match different swings. How do you know if their technology matches your swing? Unless you are evaluated by an experienced club-fitting professional you may never purchase the clubs that are right for you. Furthermore, you may never know what kind of golfer you can really be!
When you are custom fit for a set of golf clubs by a highly-trained professional, you will be armed with information to make a wise investment decision, which will allow you to get the maximum benefit from your purchase. |
