“Any golfer who wants to improve his game will find Roy’s explanations of how golf clubs can be custom fit and custom built to match to each golfer’s size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics to enable golfers to play to the best of their ability is information that will help every golfer. Roy also explodes the myth that only the well-known, highly advertised, name brands in golf are acceptable for custom fitting and how many brands that golfers have not heard of before are equal to or superior in some cases to the brands advertised as played on the PGA Tour.
In short if you want to know the truth about custom fitting and how golf clubs can be tailored to help you play better, Roy cuts to the chase and delivers this information in clear, understandable terms.”

He is the only designer from the custom clubmaking side of the golf industry whose clubhead designs have been used to win on the PGA Tour, Champions Tour and in Ryder Cup competition by such players as Scott Verplank, Payne Stewart, Bruce Lietzke, and Ben Crenshaw.
“We are in an era that many are calling the “golden age” of golf equipment technology. While that may or may not be true, it is certainly the case that the sheer volume of new products and new ideas about metalwoods, irons, wedges and putters is overwhelming to the poor golf consumer. He or she is too often frustrated by the terms and the promises and even just the appearance of modern equipment that it often seems safer to not do anything and just keep plodding along with ill-fitting equipment that most certainly is doing little to foster real improvement.
The solution to this unfortunate and unnecessary malaise is, of course, knowledge about how clubs work and how the right fit is the ultimate game-changer for any golfer, touring pro or weekend warrior. That has been the hallmark of Roy Nix’s career as not just a clubfitter, but as a real educator in the game of golf. More importantly, what thousands of golfers have experienced over the years in seeking out his equipment advice and what so many more now will glean by reading this book, is that Roy educates without sounding like he’s conducting a doctoral seminar in quantum physics. He talks to us not only with the voice of experience but with words and examples that are simple and practical. He has a passion for making golfers better by showing them their true potential, and more importantly, how obvious that potential can be made real by the proper use of the game’s proper tools.
Quite simply, his ideas as detailed in this book can be the spark that inspires golfers and those who work with them to take complete advantage of the game’s golden age of equipment technology.”
