How To Guarantee The Best Club Fitting And Why Gapping Matters

Send us Fan Mail

New driver season messes with your brain. One minute you love your gamer, the next you’re wondering if a new Titleist head and a trendy shaft will magically add ball speed and fix your misses. We talk through Chuck’s real-world driver fitting experience, what actually changed, what didn’t, and why “it feels amazing” is not the same thing as “it earns a spot in the bag.”

From there, we get into the stuff that really decides whether a fitting helps: bringing baseline TrackMan numbers, testing outside so you can see true ball flight, and working with a fitter who will tweak loft, lie, weights, and strike location instead of selling you whatever goes farthest once. We also unpack the shaft rabbit hole, including why a shaft can feel totally different in your hands than its published profile suggests, and why reselling shafts makes experimenting less painful for golf gear junkies.

Then we zoom out from gear to scoring. We make the case for committing to one golf ball model (yes, it matters on every shot, including putting feel), and we break down wedge play on firm, fast greens: how to take spin off by choosing more club and swinging easier, when to play for spin, and how rough changes friction so the ball releases more than you expect. We also sprinkle in some tour golf watching, course setup takes, and our growing excitement for an upcoming Monterey Peninsula trip.
