PING Fitting
I went to PING HQ in Gainsborough on Tuesday with a HGGC member who wanted fitting for a Set of Irons. As always it's a fantastic day and we were properly looked after. The PING fitting process is very thorough as they follow a 5 Step Process.
Interview Process
The first step is the Interview Process, during which the fitter identifies your current ball flight tendencies, equipment specifications, likes and dislikes of your current equipment, and your needs and preferences from new equipment. The interview process is ongoing to ensure that your goals are being met through each of the remaining steps.
Static Fitting
The second step, the Static Fitting, can be performed online with Web-Fit, our online fitting program. For an iron fitting, your height and wrist-to-floor measurement are used to calculate your static Iron Color Code (lie angle) and shaft length, and your hand dimensions are used to calculate your static Grip Color Code, or grip thickness.
Dynamic Swing Test
The Dynamic Swing Test is next, during which you hit balls from an impact board with special tape on the sole of the club. When the club hits the board, it leaves marks on the tape that help the fitter understand how your setup and swing affect the position of the clubhead at impact.
Ball Flight Analysis
The most important step in the process is Ball Flight Analysis. During this step, the fitter will utilize a variety of clubs with slightly different specifications to isolate each fitting variable and determine the combination of Color Code, club length, shaft type and flex, club model and grip size that gives you the best opportunity to achieve your desired ball flight.
Monitoring Performance
Since your swing may change over time, the final step, Monitoring Performance, is ongoing. Periodic evaluation of your ball flight may reveal undesirable shot patterns with a group of irons or the entire set. A swing change, club adjustment or a combination of both may be necessary to resolve or eliminate these patterns.
I have a comprehensive PING Fitting system right here at HGGC! If you are interested in upgrading your irons this season please get in touch. We also fit irons for Callaway and Mizuno!
