Fitting is not an option but a necessity. When purchasing expensive golf clubs, you need to find the optimal combination that suits you. Golf equipment companies prepare the best fitters and fitting equipment to welcome customers. They are shaking the hearts of amateur golfers with differentiated fitting know-how. This is the world of fitting that each equipment company boasts. The second is Titleist's Vokey wedge fitting method.
When you visit Titleist, you can take care of everything from fitting Vokey wedges to custom designs all at once.
The Vokey wedge is the most popular product worldwide. It is a weapon created by Bob Vokey, the "master of wedges." For amateur golfers, there can be a significant difference in distance. However, within 100 yards, swing speeds are similar. During a round, drivers are used about 14 times, while short game shots account for 40-50%. If your short game skills improve, you can get the ball closer to the pin. This is why choosing the right wedge directly correlates with improving your score.
In Korea, there are many places nationwide where you can get Titleist clubs fitted. You make a fitting schedule by phone or online reservation. First, measure the full swing distance of the pitching wedge. Then, find the loft and lie angle with clubs that have a 10-15 yard distance difference from the pitching wedge distance. The bounce is determined by observing the full swing style. The grind is selected based on the type of shots mainly played around the green. In the final step, you choose the grip size and type.
The key elements in wedge fitting are bounce and grind. This is because swing styles differ and preferences for design vary. On firm courses, use low bounce; on normal courses, mid bounce; and on soft courses, high bounce. The grind (L, M, S, F, K) is determined by the steepness of the swing and divot marks. When composing wedges, the 9-iron loft is the standard. Maintain a 4-6 degree loft gap between clubs. If the fitted wedge is 46 degrees, a combination of 50, 54, and 58 degrees is ideal.
