We are asked many questions about adaptation. Recently, a Bulletin subscriber asked if it makes sense for a golf player with 20 handicaps to fit for golf clubs.
I have some thoughts on that.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard, “I’m not good enough to be suitable for golf clubs.” But here’s the thing: for me, that’s like saying, “I’m not good enough to improve.”
I can’t connect those points. Logic just doesn’t make sense.
Of course, if you have just walked the course after your first nine holes, it is probably worth spending some time in the course and in the range before reserving a suitable session, but if you have played enough to create a handicap 20 (or better), you are absolutely good enough to fit for golf clubs.
The invasion
I get it. As an initial golf player or with a higher handicap, the idea of a suitable club can feel just as comfortable to hear your grandmother discuss her latest bikini wax.
Yuck, gamma. gross
Someone who looks at your swinging? Potentially judging any wild slice and hard miss? Talk about nerve scratches. But take a deep breath. No one dies (perhaps) if you fight in your adaptation.
Look, for 99.99 percent of us, golf is just a game. Anyone who will judge you based on your activity is probably not someone worth impressing anyway. A good fit is about understanding your game and finding clubs that can help you have fun there.
You are more consistent than you think
Here’s a truthful mind: most of the higher handicap players are more consistent than they believe. You may think that every pace is a completely casual adventure, but this is rarely the case. Most players actually have quite stable:
- Swinging speed
- Attack
- Route
But here things are interesting. If you dig into detail, you will find that there are metrics that separate players really good from the rest of us.
Get the relationship face to the post-road. While some of you have already understood it, it is a measure where your club is telling about your route. Good players have super-consistent values for the post-road. Players with the highest handicap? You have more changes and this actually creates an opportunity for improvement.
Art of Adaptation: High Handicap versus low handicap
Adjusting a 20-Handicap golf player is essentially different from the mounting of a scratched golf player. For best players, adaptation is about optimization. They are angles of good adjustment, rotation rates and deduction angles with laser accuracy. Likes how to watch a Formula 1 team shaking any possible performance variables.
For players with the highest handicap, the adaptation takes a different approach. It is not about finding absolute perfect glasses. It is about increasing good results and giving means to improve. Think more about how to find a reliable, forgiving group of clubs that can help you build confidence and consistency.
What can a fit actually make for you
Think of a club that fits like something that brings you a step closer to realizing your potential. Some interesting knowledge you can find out:
- That religion you can’t shake? There may be a driver that helps him to demean it. In these situations we love clubs like Ping G440 SFT AND Callaway Elyte x.
- A slightly heavier shaft can run your rolling path. The shafts in almost every club have become easier in recent years, but many players benefit from extra weight.
- A shorter shaft often creates a more sustainable impact.
- Larger, more forgiving, more forgiving that help you start the highest ball can strengthen your confidence (and reduce your results).
An adaptation can help identify the item (or things) that will work for you.
Mounting is not missile science
A good assembly is not trying to turn a golf player with higher handicap into a pro (at least not overnight) tournament. They are more like a golf equipment creator. We are talking about finding devices that work with your current ability and give you room to grow.
Ultimately
Absolutely, a 20-Handicap golf player should fit. Seriously a professional fit can:
- Give knowledge of your swinging
- Increase your trust
- Help you improve faster
- Make the most fun golf
Remember, the goal is not to become a scratched golf player overnight. It’s about enjoying the game, improving a little in a while and maybe – simply – making your friends more serious about golf than they thought.
Believe me, your future will thank you for taking this step. Now go a book that fits and stop floating it.
