Golf Equipment Fitting Guide
Golf gear must match your height, swing speed, and hand orientation. Properly fitted clubs improve accuracy, reduce fatigue, and protect against injury.
⚠️ Important: Golf equipment should be fitted by a professional for best results. StompGear’s guidelines are for educational purposes only. Renters are responsible for confirming fit, following manufacturer instructions, and using gear within their ability. StompGear assumes no liability for misuse or injury.
Clubs & Sets
Hand Orientation
- Right-Hand (RH) = most common.
- Left-Hand (LH) = required for left-handed players.
- Clubs must match your swing side — not interchangeable.
Height & Club Length
- < 5'2" (157 cm): Petite or youth sets recommended.
- 5'2"–6'1" (157–185 cm): Standard length fits most adults.
- 6'1"+ (185 cm+): Consider extended-length clubs.
Shaft Flex
- Ladies (L): Softest flex, slower swing speeds.
- Senior (A): Flexible for moderate swing speeds.
- Regular (R): Standard option, balanced performance.
- Stiff (S): For higher swing speeds and control.
- Extra Stiff (X): Advanced players, very fast swings.
Club Types
- Driver: Longest club, max distance off tee.
- Woods (3, 5): Long shots from fairway or tee.
- Hybrid: Easier to hit than long irons, versatile.
- Irons (5–PW): Core of set, accuracy and approach shots.
- Wedges (Sand, Lob): Short game, high loft for bunkers and chips.
- Putter: Precision on the green.
Youth Sets
- Sized for height, not age.
- Shafts are lighter and more flexible.
- Sets include fewer clubs (driver, hybrid, 2–3 irons, putter).
- Right- and left-hand available.
Carts & Travel
- Manual Push Carts: Easy to use, lighter weight.
- Electric Push Carts: Battery-assisted, less fatigue.
- Travel Bags: Hard case = maximum protection, soft case = lighter for car travel.
Accessories
- Gloves: Worn on lead hand (left hand for RH players, right hand for LH players). Fit snug like a second skin.
- Rangefinders/GPS: Aid distance control.
- Umbrella: Large canopy for rain or sun.
- Eyewear: Polarized sunglasses improve visibility and reduce glare.
Footwear
- Golf Shoes: Spiked = more grip; spikeless = versatile and comfortable.
- Fit like athletic shoes: snug heel, wiggle room at toes.
- Waterproofing essential for wet courses.
Fitting Tips
- Try swinging clubs to confirm comfort.
- Check grip size — too large reduces wrist action, too small increases tension.
- Test shaft flex with your swing speed.
- Taller players may need lie angle adjustments — see a pro fitter.
Final Notes
- Golf requires precision and fitted equipment for safe, enjoyable play.
- Clubs, shoes, and gloves must match player height, swing speed, and hand orientation.
- Youth gear must be fitted carefully to prevent bad habits or injury.
- Professional club fitting is strongly recommended for frequent players..
