AmishJason Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I have seen this come up a few times in discussions, but without going back through and re-reading every fitting discussion, I can't remember the consensus (if there was one). With today's launch monitor technology that is employeed by fitters, are static measurements such as wrist to floor still relevant?

dlow206 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 In my opinion, i think static measurements become more important when we are talking about measurements that deviate significantly from average. For example, I am short (5'5"), but have a wrist to floor of about 30.5" because my legs are short. I think I saw somewhere that my wrist to floor measurement is the average for someone who is 5'2" or 5'3". Overall, I never feel comfortable with men's off the rack length clubs.

In a perfect world, a fitter would start with a static measurements build and then go from that point based on swing and ball flight HardcoreLooper, Rtracymog, AmishJason and 1 other 4 Quote * Staff Professional* Driver: Stealth Plus+ (7.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Black 6X Tipped 1" 3 Wood: Stealth Plus+ (14.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Blue 7x Tipped 1" Driving Iron: P790 UDI 2 iron - HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 100 6.5 4 Iron: P790 - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (5-7) P7MC - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (8-P) P7MB - KBS C-Taper 130 X Wedges: MG3 Black 50.09 / 55.11 - KBS TOUR FLT 130 X 60* Wedge: High Toe Raw - KBS Tour 130 X Putter: Custom Black ER2 or Custom Black Del Monte Bag: FlexTech Stand Bag Glove: Tour Preferred Glove Ball: TP5X #11 RangeFinder: R1 Smart Rangefinder Instagram: @dpattgolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtracymog Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Agreed. It's always a nice starting point. I always got the static measurements and started from the Ping chart and worked my way out from there. bens197 1 Quote Cortex w/MGS Motore X F1 7X tipped 1" F5 17 degree hybrid w/Rogue Black 85X C300 Forged 3-5 w/C-Taper 130X FG Tour V6 5-6 w/C-Taper 130X Staff Model Blade 7-PW w/C-Taper 130X RTX4 52, 56, 60 w/S400 Tour Issue ER7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI_Redneck Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Absolutely relevant. We are all different and taking those measurements will never hurt. Fitters should also look at the players swing to see if they should have lessons to fix a fault that will affect the fitting. The customer should also be wearing golf attire and the golf shoes they play in. Going into a fitting wearing a long sleeve business shirt and leather soled flats is not a good idea BT Rtracymog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
