NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (June 21, 2007) – KZG, the #1 Custom ProLineâ?¢, has initiated its KZG Traveling Fitter Program. The program is designed to bring a Tour Fit® level of personalized custom clubfitting to every golfer, regardless of skill level. The KZG Traveling Fitters will service country clubs, golf courses, academies, and driving ranges throughout the United States and Canada. Already retail stores have requested that KZG Traveling Fitters service their establishments as well.
"We are excited about our new KZG Traveling Fitter Program," said Jennifer King, president of KZG. "We believe this program not only will expand the visibility of the KZG brand to golfers everywhere, but also will give every player an opportunity to be fit like a pro."
Steve Benzin, Director of Fitting and Education for KZG, spearheads the program. His biggest challenge is selecting professional fitters with the highest skill levels plus the integrity and passion to fit players in clubs that are guaranteed to improve their games.
"This program is something that can educate and help golfers realize their dreams," Benzin said. "Real fittings provide better golf. This is going to be an exciting and revolutionary ride."
As the golf business has grown more diversified and specialized, it has become increasingly difficult for any one individual to perform every function needed to run a golf establishment seamlessly. Thus, just as the need has arisen for specialists in instruction, marketing, management and merchandising, so has the need arisen for clubfitting specialists. KZG, an award-winning custom club company experiencing increasing demand for its equipment, has established the KZG Traveling Fitters program in order to help fill this need.
The first two authorized KZG Traveling Fitters have been selected and already have experienced an enthusiastic reception in their respective territories. There are currently seven more in training who soon will be assigned territories. Those venues that already have been serviced by the Traveling Fitters are asking for more scheduled days, and one even has asked for a permanent Fitter stationed at his venue.
Each KZG traveling fitter will be fully trained and outfitted with state-of-the-art launch monitor equipment and demo clubs. Each KZG Tour Fit® session will entail a full evaluation of a golfer’s current equipment, an in-depth analysis of the player’s goals for his game and an extensive swing analysis session. The fitter will submit his orders for KZG custom clubs, which will be built individually within three business days to each golfer’s exact specifications, including weight sorting of heads, shafts and grips; shaft aligning; frequency matching and swing weighting. The finished clubs then can be sent to the professional fitter, club, academy or store, or directly drop-shipped to the customer. Each professional fitter will establish his own route and calendar, so as to continually and systematically service the members of clubs and the customers of driving ranges, academies and retail stores. Once a fitter’s route is established, he can post his next "KZG Fitting Day" and appointments will be set by the facility.
Founded in 1994, KZG offers custom-made golf equipment available only in the finest retail facilities with authorized KZG professional clubfitters on staff. KZG’s program of partnering with only the finest professional clubfitters to fit its award-winning equipment has catapulted KZG to a position of prominence in customized golf equipment. KZG’s comprehensive selection of premium golf equipment includes the finest drivers, woods, irons, wedges and putters, in addition to a wide variety of accessories and apparel. Clubfitting professionals may complete an advanced training course for KZG certification as Master Clubfitters at KZG’s North Hollywood, California headquarters.
