The best way to fit your clubs is to see a local PGA Professional that has a fitting system. This will give you the most accurate readings. However, those of use who do not want to spend the money can do some simple steps to help fit your clubs to you.
First, you want to determine the lie of your golf club. Take a swing and a divot out of some grass. If you noticed that the Toe of the club is deeper then the heel, or vice versa, your clubs need to be bent. If the toe end is deeper that means your club is too flat. If the heel is deeper it means that the lie of your club is too upright. From there, go into a local shop and ask them to bend your clubs accordingly. Explain to them that the lie of your club is to flat and you need them 1 or 2 degrees upright, depending on the severity of the depth difference. This may not be exact but gets you closer to the correct lie. Do just the opposite if you lie is too upright.
Lastly, you will want to see if the length suites you. Hit some golf balls and then look at the face of your club. If you are hitting more towards the toe then your clubs need to be lengthened. If you are hitting more towards the heel your clubs need to be shortened.
I wish everyone the best and having the correct equipment can help your game tremendously.

Hi Stu,
I've heard from my buddies in golf that it's the indian, not the arrow. As a beginner-intermediate golfer, I want to groove my swing more before I invest in clubs. I tried looking at my divots and where I'm hitting it on the club but can't really figure out what to do to my clubs. How important is clubfitting to my game? And, given the number of companies out there with marketing claims, who really makes the most precise clubs in golf?
Thanks, Bubba
