NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (November 2, 2010) – KZG, the #1 Custom ProLine™, has begun its annual search to identify “The World’s Top 100 ClubFitters” for 2011. This is the sixth consecutive year KZG will recognize 100 professionals with skill, integrity and passion for the club fitting profession. Those honored in 2010 hailed from 22 countries around the globe with 62 fitters outside the United States. The winners ranged from small shops serving rural areas to large operations doing extensive business with multiple fitters, instructors and hitting bays.
“There are very few qualified fitters, in my opinion less than 500 in the world,” reports Jennifer King, President of KZG. “Tens of thousands claim to be professional fitters, but their skill level is basically handing the golfer clubs and asking which one feels the best. Or worse, they let the golfer tell them what they want! A true professional advises the golfer on what head, what shaft, what grip and what specs they need for a perfect fit.”
Every applicant will be judged on a point system developed by an independent panel of leading industry experts. These experts included club designers Clay Long and Art Chou; Gene Parente, president of Golf Laboratories, Inc.; David Kierstead, KZG’s Head Fitter; Kim Braly, world-renowned steel shaft designer; Dr. Christian Reichardt, author and doctor of sports medicine and fitness; and Henri Johnson, C.E.O. of FlightScope. All panel members submitted criterion on what to expect in an ideal clubfitting.
KZG will accept applications from any full-time professional clubfitter who works through or with legitimate retail facilities. Clubfitters may download the application at www.kzg.com (a link is located on the homepage). The deadline for submission is Dec. 1st, 2010. The winners will be announced in January 2011. Moreover, winners will be publicized through various mediums and will receive a framed award-certificate and poster.
