The AGCP more and more is being noticed in the golf industry for 2 very noteworthy accomplishments... First and foremost, we have the finest ongoing education for club fitters and club makers in the industry... and secondly we are noted for the quality of our fittings and the clubs we build for our golfers, and in turn how much that improves their enjoyment for playing the game of golf. For these two reasons we are attracting more and more of the leading manufacturers in golf as sponsors. We believe it is easier to fit the equipment to the golfer than force the golfer to adapt to the equipment, and the golfer will find it easier to excel at the game, or get better at the game when the equipment is made to work with their swing and athleticism. You do not see our Boutique brands advertised a lot on TV, or in golf magazines, or tossed about by Golf Pros who get paid to promote them. Nor do you see a lot of advertising for the most exotic cars in the world like Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Shelby, and others. Mostly they rely on their industry leading excellence to bring customers to them. They do not do a lot of high profile advertising. We know that a 5’ 4” golfer cannot use the same equipment as a 6’ 8” golfer, nor is it likely that a 16 year old can use the same equipment as an 61 year old. Just as a tennis player has their racquet custom balanced and weighted, and a baseball player has the right size handle and barrel on his bat along with custom weighting, as do hockey players have custom sticks, a golfer needs the correct weight and balance point as well as length and flex for their golf clubs. Unfortunately for golfers a set of golf clubs requires a much larger investment than a single racquet, bat, or hockey stick and the leading golf manufacturers only make a limited selection of sizes, weights and lengths to put on the shelf for you to buy. They do have custom options but only a few additional options for length, swing weight, shaft or grip, and that is only for special orders. Some companies actually send the special orders out to a private shop because they can’t do the custom work in their assembly plant. Thus the need for the AGCP. An AGCP fitter has high quality boutique brand heads that are every bit as good and in some cases maybe better than the well known one size fits all clubs you buy in a typical golf store. The AGCP fitter also has their choice of a wide range of the best shafts on the market and not just the ones that are mass produced for general consumption under a contract from one of the Highly Advertised brands to keep the price down. AGCP members often have the shafts you can’t get when you get a store clerk or company representative to fit you for a custom upgrade from the factory. Sometimes that highly advertised company’s assembly plant might be in Asia, so they have to find a custom shop to do their custom work for them. But even that work is often limited to the proprietary shaft brands and grips the company has a contract with and very limited in options. Our AGCP membership is exchanging ideas daily around the world and members know from our collective experience what works and what doesn’t work. We know what shafts will perform well for what type golfers. We know what heads produce the advertised claims and which do not. We know who is telling the real truth in their advertising and who is telling you what you want hear and backing it up with only half truths. For those who have been playing gold since the 1960s think about all the claims that have been made in the past 50 years by the golf industry. Consider that every year someone claims to have a new discovery that will make you hit the ball 10 yards farther off the tee. Think about it for a moment. If it were only 1 or 2 yards more per per year that would be 50 to 100 additional yards more. So, ask yourself if the average golfer who used to hit the ball 250 yards off the tee is really hitting the ball 350 yards off the tees or not and then think about 10 yards a year times 50 years and ask if the average golfer is hitting the ball an additional 500 yards off the tee. If the advertising claims were true, golfers today would be hitting 750 yard tee shots on their average drive. And everybody from 16 to 61 and 5’4” to 6” using the same clubs more or less. Find an AGCP member and let him demonstrate the truth about golf clubs for you and get a set that fits your swing so you don’t have to adjust to the clubs. |
