What is Custom Fitting?

Custom fitting in the broadest sense is building a club designed to match your individual swing characteristics so that you hit the ball longer and straighter with better control. TaylorMade Performance Labs is able to provide golfers with "Golf's Ultimate Fitting Experience" utilizing the same revolutionary advancements in motion capture technology seen in such films as Lord of the Rings, Polar Express, King Kong, and Batman.

Previously available only to PGA Tour professionals, the two hour custom fitting experience is conducted in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and includes driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putter. It is beneficial to men, women, and junior golfers of all ages and skill levels.

How Does it Work?

During the fitting process, reflective markers are placed on strategic points on your body as well as on the shaft and head of the fitting club. Nine separate high speed synchronized cameras capture the motion of the reflectors and instantaneously produce a three dimensional image of the subject. This 3D image can be viewed in motion from any angle (from above, below, front, back, or either side) and is used to demonstrate what your swing is doing dynamically. The image can easily be manipulated to provide valuable feedback for you to better understand your swing characteristics. Additionally, data collected from our specialized launch monitor is integrated with the motion capture data.

How Long Does it Take?

The fitting process involves placing special reflectors on the club shaft and head and your body in order to capture a number of swings with the driver, iron and putter to gain a true representation of your swing dynamics and impact position. These swings are analyzed by a custom fitting specialist and PGA qualified professional, which takes approximately 1 hour. Once this has been completed and understood, you will be escorted out on to our grass range to validate the club recommendations for the remainder of the two hour session.

What Does it Cost & What is Included?

The cost for the fitting session is established independently at each location (Click on the location link to find the facility closest to you). This cost includes all the above, plus a CD which shows all the captured swings in 3-D for you to view on your computer, which you can share with your family, friends and teacher. You will also receive a print-out of the swing summary and recommendations. Any required customization such as length, lie, loft, shaft and grip are included in the price at no extra charge.
