Jason Krier Certified Club Fitting & Club Repair

 

Custom fitting golf clubs involves several easy measurements and a quick self-assessment of your swing and overall game. Our method is simple, accurate, and effective.  Our expert club fitters will study your swing tempo and club head speed to properly fit you with the right shaft. Ball trajectory will be discussed.  Your clubs will be ordered with the correct lie angle based on your personal golf swing.    Determining Shaft Length: Shaft length is how long the golf club is as measured from the butt end of the grip down to where the club meets the ground. The standard length of a steel shafted driver for a man is 43 inches.  Graphite shafted drivers are manufactured 1 inch longer that steel shafted clubs.  Graphite shafts weigh less than steel shafts which allows the manufacture to produce a longer club with same swing weight.  The proper length of a golf club is a function of your height and the length of your arms.  During your fitting we determine the correct length for you with a few simple measurements.     Boy have we come a long way! Determining Shaft Flex: Flex is the stiffness of the golf club, which is provided by the type of golf club shaft that is used. Generally, stiffer shafts are better for faster swing speeds. Common shaft flexes are Men's Regular, Stiff, Extra Stiff, Senior, and Ladies. Graphite shaft flex terminology uses Firm and Extra Firm instead of Stiff. The proper flex of a golf club is a function of your strength to create swing speed and your overall golfing ability. During your club fitting we will determine the correct flex for you based on your golf swing, feel and ball flight.     Determining Shaft Kick-Point: Golf shafts have what is called a Kick-Point.  Slower swing speeds generally benefit from a lower kick-point shaft, which helps get the ball up in the air while faster swing speeds tend to favor higher kick points.   Loft & Lie Adjustments:   A lie adjustment requires bending the hardened metal in which an iron is cast. We strongly advise getting your lie fitting done in person. Online fittings while accurate do not take into account your natural ball address. Some players are more naturally upright and some like to the ball. Once you have lie adjusted a club it is usually not a good idea to re-adjust if you later find it was the wrong adjustment. Usually no more than a 2 degree adjustment upright or flat is needed, therefore we only perform lie adjustments to either extreme.  Cast clubs are a poured hardened metal and bending could lead to the hosel breaking, therefore we CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for cast clubs breaking during the bending process.  Loft adjustments usually only apply to wedges.  We recommend keeping the loft set at its original manufactured settings.  Again, in the bending process for loft cast clubs are a poured hardened metal and bending could lead to the hosel breaking, therefore we CAN NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for cast clubs breaking during the bending process.
