Tiger Woods’ Comments on Fitting and Golf Equipment
The Golf Channel’s veteran reporter Kelly Tilghman recently had the opportunity to conduct a sit-down interview with Tiger Woods. The interview was aired on The Golf Channel in early October and covered a variety of subjects with the world’s number one ranked player. Of particular interest in the interview to clubmakers were the responses Tiger made when asked by Tilghman to comment on the importance of equipment to amateur golfers and the state of the golf equipment industry. (Following is an excerpt from The Golf Channel interview with Tiger Woods, as published on iseekgolf.com )
Kelly Tilghman: What is the most important thing that amateurs need to know about equipment these days?
Tiger Woods: Proper fitting, I think the ultimate key is to have the golf clubs fit you, you not fit the club. I try and stress that to all the juniors and even amateurs that I give clinics to, they ask me in Pro Ams, you got to get a club that fits. You don't want a club that's (inaudible) you like to play two degrees upright. It's not going to work. You are not going to get the maximum advantages of that club. The club was not designed to be hit that way. I think that's one of the advantages that I think club fitting has certainly made leaps and bounds is that they are able to fit people properly. In basically 20 minutes you can get a club fitting done, over and done with, get a club right there on the spot. I think that's where amateurs need to take advantage of that opportunity. I think that will help their game tremendously.
Kelly Tilghman: Talk generally about the industry and whether there's a lot of confusion out there amongst consumers about all the new equipment flooding into the market each year?
Tiger Woods:Yeah, ya think? Guys like Callaway and Taylor Made, they flood it all the time. It's very interesting to see when I play with prime guys and they tell me what is out there, what is hot, what is next, what is coming up. I say, "Well, the driver you had a couple of months ago and right now is now ancient. There have been advances since then."

Custom club fitting allows the player to swing more aggressively without any unusual compensations at impact for their individual swing type. Simply put, you either make a good swing or bad swing. Poorly fitted golf clubs can take a very good player to an average player very quickly because of the compensations. The beginning golfer should consult their professional golf instructor/fitter before ever buying a set of golf clubs. Our certified teaching and fitting professionals will know exactly what you need to start playing and learning the game. The average consumer trades or sells their equipment every year which leads to wasted money and frustrating results. The average consumer who has their golf clubs custom fit to their swing keeps their equipment between four and six years!
Elite Golf Performance 3D Motion for clubfitting
what does zenolink tell me?
We take High speed video and digitize it so we can mark all of the joint centers of the body from feet to the top part of the spine along with the shaft and clubface so we can track it's path and speeds through the entire swing. The science behind the calculations are extremely complex, but the measurements and adjustments to it's finding make it so very simple to make a perfect fit. Zenolink measures an individual's biomechanics during a given activity relative to the Elite PGA tour players. Biomechanical parameters include joint range of motion, forward and rotational body segment speed relative to core posture. Zenolink tracks the 3D clubshaft rotational speeds and loading and unloading during the entire swing, which in turn helps us find the right shaft flex, weight, tip stiffness, torque and length for every player. Zenolink also, us find the right correct head style for every player. Using patented and proprietary clubfitting techniques, dynamic body coordination can be objectively evaluated for functional performance. The Elite Clubfitting process will take 2 hours to complete, also we fit the driver through the putter which compares to the Taylormade Matt 3d motion anaylsis they use for their tour players. This will also tell the player about possible injuries to the back, wrist, tennis elbow ect. relative to the nuances of their swing biomechanics. Call about details this is only for the serious golfer trying to get to the next level.
Cost $300
***Physical attributes (strength, flexibilty, speed) while swinging a golf club will directly affect your individual clubfitting.

The 12 Myths of Custom Club Fitting
- Modern golf clubs hit longer than clubs of even a few years ago.
- The longer my driver is, the longer I will be able to hit the ball
- The lower the loft on my driver, the longer I will be able to hit the ball
- Graphite shafts will help reduce tennis elbow
- I know I play a stiff shaft; it says so right on the label
- The newer clubs have a larger “sweet spot”
- Women’s clubs are designed for women
- I’ll just cut down a set for my kid; that’s good enough
- My club is just like the one Tiger uses
- If I buy blades my swing will have to improve
- Custom fitting are taken by anatomical measurements(wrist to floor ect.)
- Custom fit golf clubs are only for really good golfers
