CUSTOM FIT NEWS of the MONTH

As I write this message Hideki Matsuyama has just dropped a shot on the first but the special discount we are offering on custom fit Srixon equipment made this month if he wins is still looking good.
Harry and I have been working with the SRIXON family of golf equipment over the last few years and this includes CLEVELAND and XX10.
Harry who is now a Srixon ambassador and I feel we have the custom fit capacity to help every type of golfer improve their game whatever their ability.
This can be anything from Drivers to wedges including iron sets and utility clubs
Srixon irons are classically shaped forged heads aimed at low to medium handicap players who have the ability to strike the ball consistently.
They will soon be bringing out a new powerful and very attractive looking iron aimed at higher handicap players (ZX4)
Their new drivers with various shaft options are now a match for the Calloway and Taylor Made models.
Cleveland apart from producing the finest hybrid and cavity backed irons on the market that all male and female golfers can enjoy it is in the WEDGE department that they are renowned as the best in the golf business.
We will be trying to promote the benefits of buying sets of wedges particularly as wedge shots can account for between 15% to 20% of the total shots you play on a golf course.
We now have the wedge fitting system in the studio and Harry will be able to help you select your wedge set and if required additionally teach you to improve your technique to get the best out of them.
XX10 is the parent companies premium brand. The component technology and the design is the most advanced on the market. It is specifically designed to help players with slow to medium swing speeds.
Having been injured for most of the year and losing at least 10% of my already limited power I can truly say these clubs have really helped in my rehabilitation.
We will very soon have full trial sets in various models for ladies and men to try. Simply take them on the course and play. We will love your feedback.
If you are interested in arranging a custom fit session please see me or Harry.
It takes around an hour with the cost set at £40 and of course you are not obligated to purchase anything but remember we only want to make improvements to the equipment you are using.
Also we have booked the company for a custom fit and an experience day for Srixon/Cleveland and XX10 respectively on Wednesday June 30th and Thursday July 1st.
Representatives from the company who are master fitters will be on hand for this day and you can reserve a slot in advance if you like.

We’ve only taken delivery of the new GCQuad today but we can’t wait to get it up and running and show you all how good it really is.

Having been a tough few months, I’m sure you’re all glad to be back out playing and enjoying your golf. Following government guidelines, we are able to open the studio for fittings as of Monday, with social distancing rules in place.

We have been in contact with our brands/manufacturers who understand the situation many are in and have agreed to reduce prices.

This should be done on leaving also.
Unfortunately we are not able to greet you with a hand shake or other forms of contact.

5. Harry and I will be wearing face masks even though they are not currently compulsory.

STUDIO and CUSTOM FIT NEWS of the WEEK

CUSTOM FIT DAY on THURSDAY 12th MARCH

Book a half hour fitting slot with the SRIXON/CLEVELAND master fitter Martin Connor for no charge (normally £40).
Message via FB or text on 07989 715401to book or obtain more details.

Custom fitting from the studio has made a good start through January and several members and guest visitors have been fitted with the new Cleveland Turbo Launcher or UHX models. All have gained distance and accuracy plus most importantly ENJOYMENT.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of being both professionally fitted and then purchasing your custom fit clubs from your Club Professional?

ADVANTAGES

1. FINDING THE RIGHT CLUB FOR YOU.

When I used to help fit clubs for golf members in the early 1980's it could often take a few weeks of work before getting it right with adjustments to important aspects such as head and overall weighting as well as shaft length and flex.

Nowadays with launch monitor testing equipment and click on shafts to heads it can be all done in the course of a one hour session in the studio. If we can't find you a better club than you are currently playing with then Harry or I will tell you.

2. SCIENCE CAN GIVE YOU FACTS TO REASSURE YOU

Although golf is an entirely physical game played by the body with the assistance or interference of whatever goes through your mind it is still a very scientific game.

Trust the craftsmanship of top brands such as Srixon/Cleveland and XX10 who pride themselves with precision head and shaft manufacture to produce golf clubs for the maximum enjoyment of the golfer.

Trust the Foresight GC2 launch monitor to give you the numbers to see and compare what you are doing to the golf ball and at 99% guaranteed accuracy it is unequalled in indoor launch monitor equipment.

Not all companies play by the rules and it was interesting in last years open championship at Royal Portrush allegedly 15 drivers from a top brand that were tested were deemed to exceed legal limits of COR (Coefficient Of Restitution).

That sounds a bit like cheating but the Americans would never do that would they?

Surely those emissions compliant devices they fitted to their Volkswagen motor cars were absolutely fine. Ha!

FACE TO FACE WHEN BEING FITTED AND BUYING.

You can buy clubs from the internet or discount outlets.

But why?

To save money? How can you be sure they are the best clubs for you and your golf when you part with your money?

Do the people who sell you those clubs really know you or really care about your golf.

In 3 and half years of fitting clubs Harry and I have achieved amazing success in sorting out the right clubs for the customers maximum enjoyment.

The quality of the product is second to none and in the time of dealing with Srixon/Cleveland and XX10 we have only had to return a couple of clubs for minor defects or construction faults.

Even if you haven't purchased your clubs off us and you have a problem with them please come and see me or Harry first.

BEST PRICE

Obviously this is a major factor and we will always sell you the correct clubs and amount of clubs to fit your game at the best possible price.

We will always match prices from legitimate outlets that are selling the legitimate product.

CHOICE WITHIN THE BRAND TO PRODUCE CLUBS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT

SRIXON looks after clubs designed for elite players as well as for medium handicap club golfers up to about 14 handicap depending on their ball striking capabilities with it's 565 and 765 range.

CLEVELAND looks after clubs designed for medium to higher handicap club golfers and even beginners with it's choice of UHX and Turbo Launcher Hybrid Irons.

It produces clubs that have a classic look designed to please the eye of the traditional golfer in the UHX range.

It also has clubs that massively help your game by keeping the ball in the air longer to increase distance and accuracy with the Turbo Launchers.

XX10 is Srixon/Cleveland's premium brand.

It's construction is a masterful piece of engineering with the materials used in the process. They are not cheap but they feel so good to swing and produce amazing results especially for players with lower swing speeds.

WILSON

After some production problems from last year which hopefully are now sorted Harry and I have decided to give the Wilson brand clubs another run in the fitting studio to give additional choice for the customer.

It is very price competitive for a premium brand and produces clubs for all standards of golfer.

Interestingly in history more major championships have been won by players playing Wilson equipment than any other brand.

It is also interesting that Srixon won its first major last year with Shane Lowry winning the Open at Royal Portrush with amazing golf.

DISADVANTAGES OF BEING CUSTOM FIT

NONE!!

Book your fitting for irons or wedges plus hybrids and woods including driver with me or Harry soon.

Cost £40 and takes approximately one hour although for any slots booked on the Thursday12th March fitting day there is no charge.

Have a great week of golf and other fun and relaxing activities.
