Mitchell® Golf Equipment Institute also conducts its Club Performance Fitting school on the range at Orange County National Golf Resort. The Club Performance Fitting Specialist curriculum begins with a study of how head, shaft and grip designs influence ball flight. Attendees analyze their own golf clubs to quantify how club specifications affect ball flight. Zelocity PureLaunch� and Accusport Vector� launch monitors are used to analyze club and ball performance. The class includes actual launch monitor time with each student hitting balls with a matrix of clubs from Cleveland Golf, KZG, Tommy Armour Golf, and Sonartec. These demo clubs are custom made with a matrix of shafts from Aldila, Grafalloy, UST, Rapport and the original manufacturer. The class concludes with a discussion of how to best match club specifications with launch monitor data to achieve desired club performance.
