Episode #395 takes listeners on a deep dive into the fascinating world of golf equipment fitting and the cutting-edge technology that’s shaping the way players experience the game.



The Evolution of Custom Fitting



Michael Vrska opens the discussion by outlining the significant strides made in the custom fitting process over the years. Traditionally viewed as a luxury service, fitting is now considered essential for golfers at all levels who want to maximize their performance. Vrska explains, “Custom fitting has transformed from a niche offering to a mainstream necessity, with technology at the heart of this evolution.”

The conversation gets technical as Vrska breaks down the fitting process for various types of golf clubs:




Woods: Fitting for woods involves analyzing the player’s swing speed, ball trajectory, and spin rates to optimize distance and accuracy.

Wedges: Wedge fitting looks at bounce options, sole grinds, and loft selections to enhance performance around the greens.



Putters: With putters, personal preference and comfort are as important as technical specifications like loft, lie, and length.



Golf Balls: Surprisingly, even golf balls are subject to fitting, with choices made based on desired spin rates and flight characteristics.




Technological Innovations: Old vs. New



Vrska discusses the stark differences between older golf technologies and the latest advancements. He highlights how new materials, designs, and manufacturing techniques not only improve the performance of the clubs but also help players enjoy a more forgiving and satisfying game. Upgrading your gear, he notes, can lead to noticeable improvements in your game due to these technological enhancements.
