Golf club fitting guide for purchase and leasing
Choosing a golf club depends on your height (lenght), your swing speed (flex), and the impact angle (lie). To maximize your performance without buying a complete set, leasing golf clubs from Lo Golf Pro allows you to rent quality equipment tailored to your measurements anywhere in Quebec, from renowned manufacturers like Cobra and Srixon.
What golf club length should you choose?
To choose the most suitable golf club length, please refer to the table below, which provides a good approximation of club length based on your height.
|
Golfer's height (in feet and inches) |
Club lenght (in inches) |
| Shorter then 5' 0" | -2.0" |
| 5'0" to 5'2" | -1.5" |
| 5'3" to 5'5" | -1.0" |
| 5'6" to 5'8" | -0.5" |
| 5'9" to 6'0" | Standard |
| 6'1" to 6'3" | +0.5" |
| 6'4" to 6'6" | +1.0" |
| Higher then 6'6" | +1.5" |
Choosing the Flex of Your Golf Club
The flex of golf clubs can influence the distance, spin, and trajectory of the ball. To select the correct flex for your clubs, please refer to the table below:
Which iron do you use to hit 150 yards?
| Iron | Suggested flex |
| 4 | Ladies Flex |
| 5 | Senior Flex |
| 6 | Soft Regular Flex |
| 7 | Regular Flex |
| 8 | Stiff Flex |
| 9 | Extra Stiff Flex |
Choosing the lie angle for your golf club
On a golf club, the lie angle is the angle between the clubhead and the shaft. For most golfers, a standard lie angle will be enough to provide the desired shot accuracy. The importance of the lie angle applies only to irons, particularly short irons. To determine the lie angle that best suits you, simply measure the distance between your wrists and the ground. To do this, stand upright with your golf shoes on and your arms at your sides. Use a bit of magic or ask someone to measure the distance between your wrists and the ground.
To adjust the lie angle of your clubs, use the table below corresponding to your height.
