During the interview process, the fitter will identify the way your ball flight tends to go, your likes and your dislikes of the equipment you use now, and any specifications for equipment. This process will be an ongoing one, and it's designed to make sure that you meet your goals with custom clubs.
The second step of the Ping custom fitting is called static fitting, and you can do this online with a program called web-fit. When you are fitted for irons, your height will be measured, as well as your other measurements. This will be helpful in calculating your lie angle and length of shaft. The dimensions of your hand will also be required, to accurately calculate your grip thickness or color code.
In a dynamic swing test, Ping Golf will have you use a club with tape on the sole, in hitting balls off an impact board. When your club contacts with the board, it will leave various marks on that tape. These will allow your custom fitters to understand your swing and setup, and the way they affect the club head when you hit.
The step for analysis of ball flight is the most important step, and during it, your fitter will use various clubs with differing specifications, so that it can isolate every fitting variable, and then determine the proper grip size for you, along with the best club model, shaft type, club length and color code.
Your swing may not always stay the same, so monitoring that is one way to keep up on the ongoing fit of your Ping golf clubs. Periodically, the ball flight evaluation may show undesirable shots with some irons or all irons. Changing your swing, adjusting of clubs or a combination of these may help to eliminate or resolve the problems.
The color code system that Ping uses allows for golfers of all sizes and shapes. This will bring the custom fitting benefits to each average golfer. Ping golf clubs are the best fit leaders, and there are many fitting systems located at golf courses and shops, all over the world. They also have fitting vehicles that travel to demonstration days, and a training program certified by the PGA, that helps golf professionals to fit the Ping golf clubs to each golfer's swing.
The newer Ping chart for color codes has 12 different lie angles, so that you can get a truly custom fit.
They can help you hit more consistently and straighter, regardless of your innate ability. In matching your swing to the right club, a Ping professional will be able to lessen or eliminate slices and hooks, which will allow you to play more closely to your potential. This will make the game much more enjoyable.
