Complimentary Putter Fittings with EDEL GOLF

[TGMAI84]

Throughout the month of November, THE PLAYERS GOLF ACADEMY will be offering complimentary putter fittings with Edel Golf (www.edelgolf.com). The Edel putter fitting process is truly one of a kind!

 

Our 3-step fitting process begins with a basic but crucial truth: golfers see differently. Each golfer relies on their eyes to set up a putt, and most golfers – even the best players in the world, touring professionals on the PGA Tour – have imperfect visual aim. It is the reason that rifle sights are adjustable. In any target oriented sport, you must have the ability to aim at the target. It is very rare when any two people have the same aim pattern. Our proprietary fitting process insures proper physical putter aim and alignment.

Assessment

Our first step is to assess a golfer's aim. The golfer aims at a small laser projector that looks similar to an actual golf hole. When the ball is removed, the laser beam reflects off a mirrored putter face, which projects onto a black screen positioned vertically behind the projector, This shows the difference between the golfer's aim and the actual target. This process incorporates both aim and loft.

 

Personalization

After the golfer's aim is determined, the second step is to find the right fit to insure proper aim. Edel fitters have access to our proprietary system of up to 273 million component combinations made up of various putter heads, hosels, offsets and lie angles to find the combination that corrects the golfer's natural aim. Additionally, while aim is very important, speed merits special analysis. Our process incorporates the proper head weight, shaft weight, shaft flex and counter-weight to control speed dictated by each golfers stroke pattern.

 

Creating the putter

Once the diagnosis is made, Edel utilizes that information to hand-mill a custom putter, to a perfect fit. Old-fashioned craftsmanship and modern technology are coupled with the highest quality materials, to create a putter that feels right, looks great, and is customized with the golfer's name or other personal information stamped into the putter with their choice of paint color.

I've been considering an Edel fitting. There is a good fitter in the KC area that I think I am going to visit this off-season.

Would love hear what people think of the process.

Just got my free fitting today and holy cow what an eye opener. I been lining up almost 6 inches to the left and I now know why I have had to always keep my putter face open to make any putts. It's crazy how something so simple isn't the number one priority for club golfers. The fitting instantly set me straight (pun intended) and we went outside to put the proof in the pudding. We worked through a couple of different swing weights and settled on what was the best feeling and most consistent setup. I spent a silly amount of money on my current putter and it has been setting me up for failure before I even make a stroke. I don't what the rules are for posting personal cell phone numbers so if you need his number you can pm me or google the players golf academy. Andrew is a super cool guy so don't hesitate to look him up.
