Assessing fit requires time, with recommendations generally after 4-6 weeks.

Loft affects the angle at which the ball is launched during a shot.

The weight of a shaft can dramatically impact how the club feels during a swing.

Switching to a heavier grip will increase the swing weight of the club.

Iron fitting adjustments can be crucial for achieving a balanced swing.

Every piece of tape counts as a wrap in grip installation.

Wider soles on wedges support skill improvement for less experienced players.
