Getting Fit Is Easy With True Temper's Shaft Fit
True Temper's Shaft Fit uses a unique
5-step system to make shaft recommendations.
What shaft should I play? That’s arguably the
most perplexing question amateurs ask
themselves when upgrading their golf
equipment. And who can blame them. Choosing
between steel and graphite is just a starting
point. Factor in different weights, flexes,
torques and kickpoints and it doesn’t take long
for someone’s head to start spinning.
True Temper, the market leading shaft
maker, launched Shaft Fit - a microsite
that helps golfers choose the right shaft for
their game. Answering a handful of basic
questions is all that’s needed for True Temper
to make a product recommendation you can
order at a pro shop or a big
box store. For those golfers who already have
a pre-existing relationship with a qualified fitter,
the recommendations offered by True Temper’s
Shaft Fit can help both the player and fitter
better ascertain which shafts are more likely to
help that person find more consistency and
achieve better performance using their golf
clubs.
Shaft Fit uses a simple five-step fitting
system to determine which shaft is right for
you. The site asks golfers to choose between
being fit for their irons or woods. The next
question asks golfers to evaluate their average
carry distance (for a 7-iron) or their average
drive (for a wood). The remaining questions
help golfers figure out their desired launch
characteristics.
To help customers better understand how
Shaft Fit works, True Temper created a series of
short videos that outline each step of
the fitting process.
In the video above, Chris Segalla, Head of
Technical Sales at True Temper, explains why
carry distance is a determining factor for being
fit properly.
In the second video in the series, Segalla
explains how trajectory relates to kickpoint and
cites a few examples of shaft products
optimized for certain ball flights.
The concepts of shaft weight and swing
tempo are explored in this last video in the
series.
So if you’re like many golfers who find
getting fit for the right shaft an intimidating
process, give Shaft Fit a try. Unlike a pop-quiz,
there’s no absolute right or wrong answer, and
you can always start over.
