The Blathering Duffer
Elite Fitting Experience
TBD 25.09
This month’s TBD is all about Vicky’s club fitting experience…. not your usual run of the mill fitting! I’m looking forward to seeing her having fun with her shiny new clubs out on the course now.
In Vicky’s own words…
My Golf Club Fitting at Club Champion in Del Mar:
A Petite Senior Woman’s Game-Changer
As a petite senior woman, I’ve always struggled with standard golf clubs—too long, too heavy, and tough to control. My three-hour fitting at Club Champion in Del Mar with master fitter Mike Hawes changed everything, and I’m thrilled to share the highlights.
Walking into the studio, I felt welcomed by its professional vibe. Mike’s warm, attentive approach put me at ease as he dove into my golfing goals and challenges, especially my struggle with distance.
The fitting covered my entire bag—driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putter—using cutting-edge technology like TrackMan and SAM PuttLab to analyze my swing.
Mike tailored every club to my petite frame, my swing speed and swing mechanics. We tested lightweight graphite shafts, different heads and adjusted and tweaked lie angles for better accuracy.
My Driver fitting was a revelation, as I kept coming back to that Ping 440 Driver, which produced a higher
loft launch. It added on average, 15-25 more yards compared to my old Driver. There's something to say about new golf technology. I actually felt more comfortable and my accuracy improved with a 55 gram shaft as opposed to my existing 47 gram shaft.
Irons gained similar distance with tighter dispersion, and wedges were dialed in for greenside finesse. (Did well with the Taylor Made QI-10's)
The putter fitting, with a shorter, high-MOI model, boosted my consistency. I preferred a heavier putter head. (Sunk 8 of 10 ten foot putts with the new Mizuno model)
Mike’s expertise in fitting all women golfers, regardless of handicap, made the process seamless and fun. He even accommodates left-handed players—just call ahead.
The custom clubs I ordered, the Taylor Made QI-35 Woods and 5 Hybrid should help me transform my game. Golf can now be more enjoyable and less taxing.
For petite senior women or for all women, I can't recommend Club Champion in Del Mar enough. Mike’s skill and the latest technology delivered a personalized fitting that will elevate my game. Book a session—you might gain 15-25 yards too!
Takes about 2 weeks to build my new clubs to be tailored to my personal golf attributes. Cannot wait! Oh, and I ordered one of those Echo Silent golf bags too! Heck, it'my final set of golf clubs so I splurged
