Custom Fitting Myths Busted: Why Every Golfer Can Benefit | SGGT

Think custom club fitting is only for good golfers? Think again. This week Ross is joined by Aaron Ellis (@golf_specs) from SGGT (@sggt_uk) to bust some of golf's biggest equipment myths and explain why the right clubs can make a difference whether you're playing off scratch or 25.

With Colin representing the higher handicappers and Ross at the other end of the spectrum, Aaron explains why the fitting process should be just as valuable for both. And it turns out there's a lot more to it than hitting a few seven irons and being handed an expensive new set of clubs.

We get into the fascinating details of SGGT's fitting approach, including testing different irons throughout the bag, using real golf balls outdoors and understanding why strike and consistency matter more than chasing extra yards.

Along the way, we discover:

• Why higher handicappers can potentially benefit most from custom fitting.
• Why your height doesn't necessarily determine your club length or lie angle.
• How graphite shafts have evolved and why they aren't just for older or slower golfers.
• Why shaft flex labels don't tell the whole story.
• Why low-spin drivers and forgiving irons aren't always what you need.
• How small adjustments to loft, lie and shaft weight can transform ball striking.
• Why wedge fitting might be the most overlooked opportunity in your bag.
• Why the latest driver isn't necessarily better than the one you already own.
• What to expect from your first fitting and why there's absolutely nothing to be nervous about.

Aaron also explains why a good fitter might actually recommend keeping your existing clubs rather than selling you something new.

It's a fascinating conversation packed with practical advice, a few surprises and plenty of myth-busting for golfers of every ability.
