What to Bring…
Once you have booked your club fitting, you will want to prepare by bringing your current set of clubs. You will also want to dress in golf attire, as you will want to be able to swing freely. We ask that you wear athletic shoes NOT Golf Shoes as it is hard on our force plates, not to mention most golf shoes track in mud and grass.

Arrival…
Once you have arrived please bring in your clubs and go to your appropriate hitting bay. Once your fitter greets you, you will be asked some questions about your game and what you would like to get out of the fitting.
Getting Started…
Once the interview process is over your fitter will have you hit some balls to loosen up. As you are loosening up your fitter will do a quick check of your current specifications and then grab some different head options that they think will suit you best.
Once you are warmed up your fitter will have you hit 3-5 balls with your “Gamer” to get a baseline. these numbers will be saved for later reference.

Finding The Right Combination…
Once we have your gamer specs you will begin hitting balls with different clubheads. The clubhead by far makes the biggest difference so we always start there.
Once we find the best 2-3 heads we will then start having you try different shafts to fine tune the numbers allowing us to get the best possible combination for you.
The Crossover…
Now that we have found your ideal 7 iron combination, here is where NorCal Golf Academy truly sets itself apart from the pack! A lot of golfers are solely fit for 7 irons and then the fitting is deemed complete. We also look at what we like to call the crossover area, which for most golfers is the 5 iron.
Many golfers tend to hit their 6 iron down great, but as the clubs get longer things start to change for the worse. That is where we come in as we also check to make sure that your peak height, descent angle and carry distances stay up to the desired specs.
We will now have you hit some 5 irons to make sure that the same head is the appropriate model. If trajectory is too low we will then have you try varying types of heads to achieve the proper launch characteristics. Building you a blended set if needed.
