Social Media Club Fitting!
“Social Media” Club Fitting
Beware “Well Intentioned” Advice!
A new type of club fitting is “available” through Social Media – at least I believe so. I am calling it “Social Media Club Fitting.” Read on to learn more!
I am on a number of fun Facebook pages dedicated to different club brands and golf improvement brands. Many many golfers flock to these sites, and talk about almost everything there. “I just got my new clubs!” “What do you think about using iron head covers?” “My new clubs have arrived and they are amazing!” All of these types of sharing is great fun, and helps promotes different golf clubs and golf improvement brands.
However, I believe the story needs to be different when these types of questions are asked…
- “Is this head better than that one?” “I want new golf clubs, what heads should I play?” “Will blades be better for me than cavity backs?”
- “Should I be playing this shaft?” “What shaft should I play to increase my driver launch angle”
- “Here is a video of my swing. What can I do to improve my game?”
- And many, many more…
There you go – what I call “Social Media Club Fitting.” Golfers who are looking for help. No doubt everyone who responds to on-line questions like these is well intentioned. And likely many who respond in fact do have some qualifications for providing thoughts and advice.
But hopefully you long-time readers of my blog understand that You Deserve Better Advice than what you will get from such social media questions. You are simply rolling the dice, compared to finding an expert to help you, to having a face-to-face evaluation of your clubs and your swing done, to being fit to find the total club option that gives YOU the best performance for Your Unique Game.
