We recently hosted a top‑class PING club‑fitting event at Simtec Golf, and what a day it was. We welcomed golfers of all levels into our indoor facility, fitted them using the latest technology and helped them find clubs that truly fit their game.
Why club fitting matters
Custom fitting isn’t just for tour players – it’s for anyone who wants to play better golf. According to PING’s fitting philosophy, matching your clubs to your individual swing mechanics, shot tendencies, and physical profile leads to more consistent, optimal ball flights. During our session, we used our TrackMan bays to measure launch angle, spin, carry distances and club path, which means we could show exactly what was working and what could be improved.
Highlights from the fitting day
- The room was buzzing with curiosity and enthusiasm as each golfer got one‑on‑one time with a fitter.
- We tested PING’s driver, irons and wedges lines, adjusting shaft flex, lie angle, club length and grip size until sure we had the right spec.
- Many participants were surprised by what the data revealed – for example, slight changes in lie angle or shaft flex produced noticeably tighter dispersion and more solid contact.
- We also chatted about how indoor simulation and outdoor play link together: once you’ve got the right equipment indoors, you’ll better translate that into more confidence and performance on the course.
Your takeaways
- If you’ve never been fitted, do it. Even modest changes can make a big difference.
- Use length of time between fittings wisely – clubs don’t age, but your swing might change or your body might change.
- After a fitting, schedule a play session (indoors or outdoors) to embed the new specs into your game.
- Don’t forget circa the indoor simulation aspect: at Simtec Golf our TrackMan bays allow you to keep your swing sharp, test the clubs you’ve just been fitted on, and carry that improvement into your rounds.
What’s next
We’re already planning our next fitting day – so if you’re thinking about upgrading your clubs or simply optimising what you carry, book early. We’ll be offering slots in our three TrackMan bays, plenty of expert advice and a great environment to zone in on your game. Stay tuned for the date and make sure you reserve your spot.
