Custom Fit.

Custom Fitting is the process by which golf equipment is tailored to an individual's unique needs. Custom Fitting can be used to achieve many different aims;

• adapting to a players physical dimensions (taller / shorter / large hands etc),
• reducing the impact of a consistent swing fault,
• to encourage the correct technique,
• to eliminate a specific shot,

in order to deliver the clubface in a square position at impact more often than if the player was using equipment in the standard make up.

At a more technical level Custom Fitting can build low handicap golfers and professionals a more efficient swing with shafts fitted to their swing speeds and tempo.

Higher handicap players can use adjustments in lie angles and shafts to overcome repetitive swing faults. Improvers and beginners need well fitted equipment to encourage the correct set up - the foundation for a solid game.

Mizuno Performance Fitting Centre

It gives me the greatest of pleasures to announce that Padbrook Park has been selected as a Mizuno Performance Fitting Centre.

I have stocked Mizuno products all year and have played with Mizuno irons and woods all my career and Mizuno have recognized the facilities that we have on offer as the finest in the area. With this in mind, Padbrook Park was chosen as a Mizuno Performance Fitting Centre.

Mizuno have a magnificent range of golf equipment, irons to suit all tastes and abilities and their MX700 range of woods and hybrids have won Best on Test throughout 2009.

With this appointment as a Mizuno Performance Fitting Centre comes a unique and highly technical fitting cart, containing no less than 1300 different options of their range of irons. Do not get too confused with this; they have supplied 24 different heads and 50 shafts to help find the best clubs to suit your game.

The state-of-the-art Shaft Optimizer narrows the fitting process down to the best 3 shafts in steel and the best graphite shaft for your swinging characteristics.

The Shaft Optimizer measures 5 crucial aspects of what the shaft does during the swing; Club Head Speed, Kick Angle, Release Factor, Toe Down and Tempo of the swing. This data is then entered into the computer to determine which shaft options will perform the best for your swing.

Not only this, but important measurements are taken to ensure that we have the correct length of club, grip size and lie angle of the club. Only by going through this process will we be able to find your perfect set of clubs.
