How to Purchase Custom Golf Clubs Online

Have you ever considered buying a set of custom golf clubs?

Most people haven't. But consider this: would you buy shoes without specifying a size. When you buy your golf clubs off the shelf you will get a standard set in terms of lie angle, shaft flex, shaft length, and grip. This may not be the best setup for you.

The four main factors in determining your correct club fitting is:

Height
Arm length
Hand size
Swing speed

Your height and arm length will determine your lie angle. Hand size will determine the grip size. And swing speed will determine the shaft flex that is right for you. When buying off the shelf, shaft flex is typically the only option you have control over.

I recently purchased a pitching wedge from an custom club builder, to share with you the process of ordering custom fitted golf clubs online. I was very impressed with the procedure.

If you already have been previously fitted and know your specs, then you can proceed directly to the purchase option. I had not so I chose the option to submit the information to their club fitting pro. In addition to the above, information such as age, yearly rounds, ball flight trajectory, and ball flight pattern are requested. They recommend that if you are unsure then it is best to leave your answer blank.

You will be asked what club you use for a shot of 150 yards. This will help in determining the best shaft flex for you. The higher number club you use typically translates to a faster swing speed. If you possess a fast swing speed then a stiff flex shaft will most often suit you best.

A measurement needs to be taken for the distance from your wrist to the floor. You need to stand straight with your arms straight down. If you are alone, you can stand by a wall and make a small mark in pencil then measure the distance. It is important to get this right, and you are recommended to wear shoes while taking the measurement.

After submitting the form, I received the following back within about 30 minutes.

I have reviewed your information, and would highly recommend
the following specifications for your custom set:

The AT510 model Irons, numbers 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,PW,GW,SW at Standard Length (for example the 7 Iron will be 37.5"), +1 degree Lie (63 degree lie 7 Iron), and Stiff-flex Thomas Graphite frequency and flex-matched shafts.

(Many players who sweep the ball rather than taking a divot will prefer the AT705 Hybrid Irons over traditional Irons. Using the same recommended custom specs above, you can replace Irons with the same numbered AT705 Hybrid. The Thomas Hybrids were designed to match the weight and swing characteristics of each corresponding numbered Iron.)

I also recommend the following Woods: 3 and 5 built to Standard length
with Stiff-flex Thomas Graphite frequency and flex-matched shafts.

Go with a 10.5 degree AT-460 Driver at Standard length with a Stiff-flex Thomas Graphite frequency and flex-matched Shaft.

All your clubs should be fitted with Thomas Z-Tred Grips.
Grip size can be a personal preference, but should typically follow this chart based on your glove size:

Glove Size	Grip Size
small or cadet small	Small
medium or cadet medium	Standard
medium-large or cadet medium-large	Standard
large or cadet large	Mid-Size
extra-large or cadet extra-large	Over-Size

My recommendations were pretty standard except for the +1 degree lie angle. I'm sure my height of 6'2" and the wrist measurement taken above influenced that. Armed with my custom specifications I was ready to order.

Upon deciding to accept the above recommendations, the ordering process was a snap. The club will be built the next business day. The following business day it will be inspected and shipped fully insured. When shipped, an email with the tracking # will be sent.

Golf is a hard enough game with the right equipment. With equipment not fitted for you, it's a battle you may have a tough time overcoming.

While all online custom golf club makers may not follow the above steps exactly, the vast majority should be compiling the same general information.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of a solidly struck ball with the right golf club fitted for your swing.

Good luck.
