In this today's Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf are joined by Scott Anderson, president of True Spec Golf, to break down what actually matters in a club fitting. Scott opens with a wild story: a tour player with a 130 mph clubhead speed was struggling at the Honda Classic, and it turned out his 7 and 9 irons were built with ladies flex shafts, not a swing issue at all.
They cover why the golf club is often "the arrow, not the archer," how True Spec's Club Connect system lets them test any shaft in any head to isolate variables, why the head matters more than the shaft in most cases, and why golfers almost never leave with one brand top to bottom. They also dig into spin and loft (why stronger lofts have quietly hurt a lot of golfers' short game), the shift toward fairway woods over long irons and hybrids, and how a real fitting turned one junior golfer's swing speed jump into a completely different bag.
Scott also shares a story about a fitter who turned down a sale because the timing wasn't right, and how that decision paid off in the long run.
Let us know in the comments the last time you got properly fit for your clubs.
