Junior golfers are getting better and better. Each year it seems as though younger golfers are shooting lower scores. Years ago, the equipment for junior golfers was quite limited, but things have now changed. Thanks to custom club fitting and impressive lightweight materials used in golf clubs, junior golfers now have more options than they have ever had. If your junior golfer is ready for a club fitting, it helps to know what to expect.
What To Expect From A Junior Golf Fitting
The most important thing for junior golfers to realize is that a golf club fitting is a great way to get valuable insight into their game. You can learn things like ball speed, distance, path, and more with a club fitting. The information can then be used to work on the game moving forward and improve overall performance. Similar to a golf lesson, golf club fittings are a form of player improvement and learning.
How To Prepare
All True Spec golf fitting locations will have an area for golfers to warm up before their fitting. Some younger junior golfers tend to get tired quite quickly. It is not generally good to have a fitting after a round of golf or after a long practice session on the range. Instead, it makes sense to prepare for your golf fitting by stretching and then warming up as you would before a round of golf.
What To Bring
It is essential to make sure you are adequately prepared for a golf fitting. The most important thing to bring is the junior golfer’s current equipment. When working with your True Spec master fitter, the old equipment will be compared to the new equipment.
New golf equipment can feel great and perform well on a golf launch monitor. The real important factor, however, is how the equipment compares to the current equipment in play. If there are no fundamental differences in carry, launch, or spin, it may be best to stick with the current golf clubs and simply tweak them to work better for a junior golfer.
Equipment Options and Choices
The equipment options and choices will become broader as a junior golfer gets older. When kids are younger, they are typically only capable of playing with the lightest weight equipment on the market. However, once junior golfers reach the age of around 11 or 12, the options will expand considerably.
