The same could be said for a top tennis pro playing a major event. Taking a dozen rackets, all the same feel and specs. If you changed the size, texture, or weight of a baseball, basketball, or football, everything about each sport would be drastically altered. The moral of the story is that only in golf are we asked to carry 14 clubs. Most golfer's clubs all feel totally different from each other. And finding out what type of feel and fit works best for the individual is only the beginning. Building 14 clubs that all feel alike and still match the individual's personal fit and feel is an art. This is what true club fitting is. To take this to another level, every professional has both a manager and coach to guide them. David Bass Golf offers both true club fitting, and real golf coaching as well. My new quest is to build a new business where a golfer can utilize the latest technology such as apps and software to keep their golf stats, and we can both fit and coach utilizing video and e-mail. This will remove any distance barriers. By defining true swinging of the club, the quest will be fulfilled." |
