Can a club fitting actually be fun? A fitting session conducted last month with Ping Golf for two female golfers confirmed the answer is yes.
Jeong Yun-je, a 40-year-old office worker receiving her first fitting, let out exclamations of amazement with every shot. Each time the club was adjusted, she could see incremental improvements through numbers and graphics on the launch monitor. While expressing admiration for the fitter, Jeong did not hold back a self-consoling remark: "It wasn't me doing anything wrong all along. I was just using a club that didn't fit me."
Too Whippy a Shaft Hurts Swing Speed
Jeong had been using Ping's GLE 3 driver, a women's model. Averaging scores in the late 90s, her biggest frustration was the same as most female golfers — short driving distance. "I feel like my swing speed is decent, but the distance just isn't there," she said.
