Mitchell® Golf Equipment Institute completed another class of Club Performance Fitting Specialists November 15th at its Orlando school. This popular two-day class offers training related to club performance fitting. Classes are held on the world-renown 42-acre circular range at Orange County National Golf Resort.
The Club Performance Fitting Specialist curriculum begins with a study of club specifications and head, shaft and grip designs and how these designs influence ball flight. Attendees analyzed their own golf clubs to quantify how club specifications affect ball flight. Zelocity PureLaunchâ?¢ and Accusport Vectorâ?¢ 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 were custom made with a matrix of shafts from Aldila, Grafalloy, UST, Rapport and the original manufacturer. The class concluded with a discussion of how to best match club specifications with launch monitor data to achieve desired club performance.
Each student was awarded a personalized certificate identifying him as a Mitchell® Certified Club Performance Fitting Specialist. The new graduates include Don Jackson, Tee To Green Golf, Opelika, AL; Brandon Pfaffly, Texas Indoor Golf, Denton, TX and Wayne Yngstrom, Golf Tech Custom Clubs, Huntington Station, NY.
"Industry professionals wanting to enhance their club performance fitting skills should attend this school", states Paul Bessler, PGA Golf Professional and school instructor. "Our students learn how golf club specifications influence ball performance and how to use launch monitor data to fit for the best results."
