Club Fitting
Does your equipment fit you? If you did not go through a comprehensive club fitting process, chances are your clubs do not fit you or your game. Improper equipment leads to inconsistent ball flight even with a sound golf swing. As instructors, we encourage you to have custom fitted clubs that tailors your equipment to your stature and style of play. If you are in the market for a new set of clubs or want to know if your current equipment fits you, sign up for a custom club fitting with the ASU Karsten Golf Academy. Your custom fitting will provide you with a list of specifications that will include the club length, shaft flex, grip size and lie angle that will help you to play your best golf. A professional club fitting is $40.00 and runs about 45 minutes in length. Club fitting fee may be applied to a set of golf clubs purchased with the Academy.
