Keywords club fitting, golf clubs, shaft flex, launch angle, spin rate, pre-owned clubs, fitting process, golf performance, equipment myths, golf technology Takeaways It takes longer to get a club that matches your swing. Shaft flex is not solely determined by swing speed. Control is key when selecting shaft flex. The shaft acts more like a transmission than an engine. Older models can still perform well against new ones. Fittings should consider launch angle and spin, not just distance. Pre-owned clubs can be customized to fit your needs. Fitting costs can vary; look for promotions. Be upfront about your budget with fitters. Research and get second opinions on fittings.
