Fitting Clubs For Consistency

It doesn't really matter whether you hit the ball straight, Draw it or Fade it. What matters most is consistency. I played in a tournament where one of the players had a big Draw (curved the ball right to left - right hander). I thought 'this guy will have trouble with that big Draw'. Not so, he hit the same big Draw every shot. Never missed a fairway all day.



If you have a tendency, say you draw or fade your shots, but only sometimes, you can benefit by club fitting particulary in your driver and fairway/hybrid clubs. Here's how. Say you draw the ball a little but not consistently. Have your Driver/Fairway/Hybrid clubs set up to enhance the tendency to Draw the ball. Use a 1 - 2 degree closed face, find clubs with weight ports and set the weights to promote more of a draw. Experiment with these fitting techniques until you can draw the ball more than 75% of the time. Use the same approach for a Fade (open face & weight ports for a fade). You will achieve consistency and set up to play your Draw.
