I think there’s a balance. If you can find a solid off-the-shelf option that feels comfortable, go for it! But if you’re serious about improving, maybe splurge for a fitting.
True! I mean, finding a good fit at a low price is like finding a unicorn. It happens, but don’t count on it!
Reflecting on this, I think the most crucial factor is your commitment to the game. If you’re dedicated, investing in custom clubs seems the smarter choice in the long run.
If you’re tall, consider extending the shafts of your clubs. This can help you achieve a more comfortable swing. A good rule of thumb is to add 1 inch for every 3 inches over 6 feet.
Great tip! Also, adjusting the lie angle of your clubs is crucial. Taller golfers often need a more upright lie to ensure the clubhead strikes the ball correctly.
Don’t forget about the grips! Taller golfers might prefer larger grips for a better hold, which can help with control and comfort during your swing.
Exactly! I’ve also found that having the grip slightly more textured helps with grip stability for taller players. Anyone tried this?
If you’re looking to do DIY adjustments, you can buy extension plugs to increase the shaft length yourself. Just make sure to use a good epoxy to secure them!
I switched my grips recently, and it’s made a world of difference! I’m all for experimenting with different sizes until you find your sweet spot.
Anyone have a recommendation for professionals who can do these adjustments? I’m hesitant to try it myself and mess up my clubs.
I’ve had great success with a local shop that specializes in custom fittings. Ask around, local golf clubs usually partner with good fitters!
I tried to DIY my adjustments once, and let’s just say, the results were… not great! 
Sometimes it’s best to leave it to the pros!
