Danie Jooste gains 25 metres with his new Callaway Rogue Driver I sometimes forget how big of a difference a good custom fitting can make. I had the privilege last week of doing a fitting with a young golfer who comes for lessons with Swingfit coach Murray. Danie Jooste joined me on the range and after I had a look at his current clubs. I suggested the new Rogue Driver. His current Callaway driver was not performing the way it needed to, because of how much his game improved over the last few months due to good coaching and a growth spurt.
Two things stood out for me in this session: the first was how much his clubhead speed improved when we added a lighter shaft to his setup. The clubhead speed helped us to improve his ball speed and his distance. We added 25 meters to his drive without taking away any of his accuracy, in fact he was more accurate with the new setup.
The shaft and head combination worked extremely well for him and without changing anything in his swing we gave him more distance and better accuracy. I also had a FlightScope monitor on hand that gave us shot-for-shot feedback where we could track his improvement. Not only did we add more distance, we also managed to do a great deal for him on the driver. Danie is now a happy customer that will get a lot of joy out of his new driver.
If you are looking to gain some distance off the tee, get in touch with me to book an assessment.

We have arranged some great rates for you with Stellenbosch, Erinvale, Pearl Valley, Steenberg and Somerset West Golf Club. We trust that you will enjoy your time at some of the other great clubs in the area.
Goodbye Ivan and Belinda! It is with sadness in our hearts that we have to say goodbye to Ivan and Belinda Palframan, who have both played such an important role in the club over the years – you will be sorely missed. We want to wish you well for the move to Hermanus, please come and visit soon!
