If you have not "calibrated your bag," you'll need to do it one day soon.
Get your swing smooth and consistent (remember the three Cs). Take your clubs
to the driving range. Warm up properly. Hit five balls to a specific measured
target with each club, starting with your wedge, working through the irons to
the woods. Record the results.
Next, do it in reverse: woods down through your irons. Record the results.
Now, average the yardages. You will then know how far your clubs go using range
balls.
Generally, quality tournament balls will fly approximately 10 yards farther.
If you calculate on-course yardages, you will soon need to make real-world
adjustments.
Now that you have your bag calibrated, use it well. Do not force your shots.
If your 7 iron goes 150 yards, you can squeeze it five yards or back off five
yards. If you need to reach 158 yards, use a smooth 6 iron.
Better clubs hit better shots. When your clubs are consistent (what we call
"bracketed"), your swing does the rest.
Let your custom-fitted clubs do the work. That's why you bought them!
