023: Behind the Scenes with a Top Club Fitter

We’re joined by Nick, a long-time plus-handicap golfer, former instructor, and veteran fitter for one of the biggest names in golf, to pull back the curtain on the club fitting world. Nick shares his background, the types of golfers he sees most often, and the common flaws in both swings and equipment that show up during fittings. We discuss whether players should get fit while taking lessons or wait until their swing is “ready,” the most common equipment issues like lie angles and shaft weight, and the biggest misconceptions players bring into the fitting bay. Along the way, Nick gives his candid thoughts on how fittings often morph into mini lessons, tells stories from the fitting floor, and offers practical advice for golfers looking to get the most out of the process.
