Armed with background information and some static measurements, the instructor is now ready to take the player through the dynamic portion of the fitting process:

To begin, the player's current 6 iron is prepared with lie tape on the sole and face impact tape on the club face. With the lie board in place, the player hits 5 golf balls at a pre-determined target. Each shot is individually charted for direction, distance, and trajectory. The contact location on the club face for each shot is also charted, as indicated by the face impact tape. This feedback provides the fitter with the information needed to begin zeroing in on the proper specifications for the player.

What does the face impact tape indicate?
The length of the shaft dictates where on the face the ball will make contact. To see how shaft length adjustments are made based on impact results, click here.

What does the sole lie tape indicate?
The lie angle of the club head dictates where on the face the ball will make contact. To see how lie angle adjustments are made based on sole contact results, click here.

What does the ball flight indicate?
The ball flight dictates how the flex of the club is affecting the trajectory and flight pattern of the shot. To see how shaft flex adjustments are made based on ball flight results, click here.

This procedure is repeated with various specifications until the desired result is achieved with each measurement. The goal of the dynamic process is to combine the proper measurements of each of the 3 main factors - length, lie, and shaft flex. When this ultimate combination is achieved, the result is a perfectly fitted club.
