Leading professional club fitters from SGGT answer your golf club and kit questions - plus informed discussion on the golf world in general. Aaron Ellis, James Wilson and Laurence Pawley are some of the UK's top golf club fitters at SGGT. Now they are available to advise you on Club Fitter Question Time - no matter your handicap. This is for all golfers. You can leave them a question in the comments on the Youtube channel or email Aaron@sggt.co.uk. ABOUT SGGT SGGT is known for its unique, detailed 4, 6, 8, PW iron fittings at our flagship Edinburgh, Glasgow and Chesterfield studios. Where as many fitters use only 7 iron to fit an iron set, SGGT goes through the bag to find you the best fit for your game. WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR IN A CLUB FITTER We realise not everyone lives near an SGGT but here's what to look for to get the best club fitting experience. Here's what we have - try to match it with the fitter you choose. • FITTING ACROSS IRON SETS. 4, 6, 8 irons & PW in stock to test in all sets - Not just a 7 iron. This not only makes sure that the whole sets fits you but makes fittings for blended sets accurate. • INDOOR AND OUTDOOR - An opportunity to test off mats & grass, indoor & outdoor during the fitting. It's the only way to see the true ball flight and test turf interaction. Plus you still get the benefits of our Trackman launch monitors. With modern iron and wedge sole grinds, you need to hit them off grass to know if they work for you. • Completely BRAND INDEPENDENT so you're guaranteed unbiased advice • LARGEST HEAD/SHAFT SELECTION in Europe. We have the biggest matrix with most combinations.. • PREMIUM BALLS - Fitting with range balls doesn't give you a real picture. We use the likes of ProV1s, ProV1x, TP5, Callaway balls etc o make sure you're seeing the clubs perform like they do on the course. • CHOICE OF GRIP DURING FITTING - We'll put your preferred grip on the clubs you're testing. We haven't found anywhere else yet that offers all this. So, is SGGT the "World's Best Iron Fitting?". We'd be genuinely curious to know if anyone else goes to these lengths to get you the best fitting experience possible. Please do get in touch if you think there is. Please Note: There are regional service variations offered at our Netherlands studios. Please contact them for details. If you'd like to experience an iron fitting on this level then contact our Edinburgh, Glasgow or Chesterfield studios - or book online at www.sggt.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
