Frequently Asked Questions
Are components better than O.E.M. (Original Equipment
Manufacturers) golf clubs? First let's define components. There is such a
thing as O.E.M. components, which is what we use. They are original
designs exclusive to professional clubmakers. Then there are clone or
"knock off" components. They use low-grade materials and the
specifications are usually very inconsistent. O.E.M. components, which we use, are equal to or
better than O.E.M. golf clubs. What are hybrid golf clubs and should
I be using them? Hybrids are a cross between a fairway wood and a
long iron. They have the shape of a smaller wood head and the length of
a long iron. They are good for people who struggle with their fairway
woods because of the longer length, and they are more forgiving than
long irons. Also they launch the ball higher which enables you to hold
the green better with long approach shots. I hit the ball pretty good. Why should
I be fitted for golf clubs? Tour pros hit the ball very good and they all play
with fitted golf clubs. I'm a beginner golfer or a high
handicap golfer. Why should I be playing with fitted golf clubs? There are (2) main components to golf. (1) the
swing, (2) the golf equipment. It is hard enough trying to hit the ball,
let alone hitting it with poorly fitted equipment. We can eliminate the
equipment mistakes, which allows you to concentrate more on your golf
swing. I can't hit my driver so I just leave
it in my bag. Why? Hitting your driver is an integral part of
golf. With our exclusive "D·R·S Fitting System" we can fit you to the
correct head design, loft, face angle, length, grip size and shaft
design. What do you mean by "shaft design"? We measure your clubhead speed, tempo, shaft load
and swing release. We input the information into our exclusive software
program, which then gives us the correct "shaft design" based on
manufacturer, model, flex range and profile. Why should I be fitted by you, when I
can go to a pro shop or off course golf store to get fitted for golf
clubs? There is a big difference between being "sized"
for golf clubs and being "professionally fitted". At off course stores
and pro shops you are being sized for golf clubs. They usually cover
only 2 or 3 variables. Length, flex and sometimes lie. When
professionally
fitted by a Certified Professional Clubfitter like Ken Collins at Kustom Clubs Fitting Center we take into consideration over 35
equipment and swing variables. What is neutralizing a golf shaft? Contrary to popular belief, all golf shafts are
not straight or round. We locate the inherent irregularities to that one
shaft. We then locate the dynamic plane property of the shaft and align
to the clubhead. The shaft irregularities are "Neutralized" and golf
club performance is optimized. What is MOI? MOI is moment of inertia. Simply defined it is the
resistance to twisting. A sample of MOI is a figure skater. Watch a figure
skater spinning with their arms extended. They spin slower. As they
bring their arms closer to their body their spin rate increases. This is
MOI. We can take a few measurements and input them into a program and tell you what brand and model ball you should be playing with. Should I have my putter fitted?Absolutely. Your putting game comprises over 42% of your golf score. The key to lower scores is to reduce the number of putts during a the round of golf.
