Lewis BakerFrom American Golf, said that playing with poorly fitting clubs was just as harmful to your short – or long game – as wearing the shoes with the wrong size.

He said: “Most players buy clubs from the rack without realizing that standard sizes do not suit everyone.

“You would not wear shoes with two sizes too big and expect to run your best race – so why would you play with clubs that were not made for your game?

“A modified fit is like a personal moth for your golf game – it is a process that ensures that every club is built alone for you.

“By doing this, you can shave a maximum of six shots of your round, especially with a full bag.

“With a well -appropriate driver, bad shots get better and most golfers get up to 10 meters in distance and 20 percent more accuracy of the tee. That is a huge difference for your score and your self -confidence.

“Every golfer is unique, and that is why we are adjusted suitable things. We are not here to sell your clubs; we are here to find those who suit you – and we do it for free.”

And Lewis added that High Handicap -Hackers can benefit the most from the tailor -made clubs because it has the biggest advantages for their game.

He said: “Custom Fitting is not only for the pros – it often provides the biggest improvements for players with a higher handicap. By matching your clubs with your swing, posture and natural tendencies, you will reduce accident in no time.

“We use the same advanced technology that is familiar with Pros, such as the Foresight and Trackman Launching Monitors, to follow your recordings and to analyze key factors such as bullet speed, launching angle and spider speed.

American Golf has spent more than £ 700,000 on placing adapted assembly technology in more than 60 of the national stores.

My opinion

There is nothing better than a good golf round to make the juices flow – and the wallet out.

My first round of 2025 resulted in a respectable score (not respectable enough to share publicly), but my fellow players offered a soft encouragement that I might improve -if I had thrown away my 25 -year clubs.

Bought on the internet, I’m not even sure what they are.

Fed by thoughts to hit fairways and greens on a more regular basis, I booked for a modified fit at American Golf in Hazel Grove, GTR Manchester.

Buying new clubs is intimidating – with an enormous amount of choice and price.

I also needed a bag, so after a chat about my skills and golf heap on the future, torn expert adviser Steve Steve on three sets clubs that are supplied with bags and they were all less than £ 1,000.

‘The results were immediately noticeable’

To start with, I took out my own 7 iron and hit a ball on a computer screen, and the technology mapped the speed, height and spider of the ball together with the landing distance and how far it rolled.

I hit a respectable 150 meters and was then offered three newer clubs to hit from Ben Ross, Cobra and Callaway.

The results were immediately noticeable – I got it about 25 meters away each.

Steve then gave some minor adjustments to my swing and I tried a driver and a hybrid.

He gently pointed to my posture for my forest was exactly the same as my irons – something I never realized that should be different – and gave encouragement on my swing.

After he investigated all the information, he advised one of the three sets of clubs for me – and I felt reassured that his recommendation was not the for the most expensive club.

I left with a set of golf balls – because all golfers always buy some new balls – and a reassurance that I knew which clubs I would buy and also felt something like a free golf lesson.
