 “I am not good enough to be Club Fitted.” This is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard, because in fact, it’s the club golfer who will benefit the most from club fitting. Why? Well, mostly because the pro’s and top amateurs have been doing it for years. There are basically two types of clubfitting - real shots on the driving range and indoor shots into a net. I’m sorry to say that indoor clubfitting leaves a lot to be desired. This gives the salesman the opportunity to pull the wool over your eyes because you cannot see the flight of the ball. The ideal is on the range with a Flitescope. The combination of top technology and being able to see the shots, will give you confidence in what you are choosing to purchase. Nowadays, with all the adjustability options you can see the results both on the Flitescope and in the actual flight of the golf ball. Give us a call and we’ll make sure you get properly club fitted – (012)654-2111 / proshop@zwartkopcc.co.za Clarens Trip for Members! We’re putting together a trip to Clarens for Zwartkop members – make sure you don’t miss out on the chance to get away, make new friends and have great fun!
Product of the Week Have you seen or tested the new Cleveland CBX Irons? I bet you’d be pleasantly surprised by them.
They are the perfect game improvement irons for all. They will help you to launch the ball high which will allow you to get maximum distance and soft landing shots. Don’t just take my word for it – the next time you pop into the shop make sure you give these clubs a try!
