"We'll have people come in a month later and say 'Man, the clubs you fit me for, I'm hitting them great. It definitely made a difference,'" Ax said. "Golf is a hard enough game as it is, so the last thing you want to do is play with equip- ment that isn't fit to you. The club-fitting process doesn't take a lot of time, but it's defi- nitely critical, especially when it comes to length and proper shaft flex. Even style of club is impor- tant – if you hit the ball high, we can help bring the ball down, or if you hit it low, we can help bring the ball flight back up." Ax said that custom club fit- ting is all about helping golfers get the most out of their abili- ties and maximizing their en- joyment of the game. Worldwide Golf Shops has the most Certified Clubfitters by major manufacturers in the world, and a number of its lo- cations have been named to Golf Digest's 100 Best Clubfit- ters list in 2016 and Ping's list of Top 100 Fitters. Clubfitters at the Van's shop in Scottsdale work with the Ping nFlight and Foresight GC2 systems, employing the latest technology to measure everything from launch angle to ball speed, spin and more. The better the technology, the better Ax and his team are pre- pared to analyze each individ- ual golfer's swing and recommend the best clubs to suit their game. "We pride ourselves on personal attention as well as telling it like it is to our cus- tomers," Ax said. "We'll get people who come in looking for a new driver and we will evaluate the situation and ex- plain to them how best to make a significant difference. They appreciate that, and the next time they need some- thing, we hope they're going to think of us." learn more. game changers State-of-the-art technology and top fitting professionals can make a world of difference increasing your enjoyment of the game "Golf is a hard enough game as it is, so the last thing you want to do is play with equipment that isn't fit to you." – steve ax, van's golf shops The latest club fitting technology.
