Frequently asked questions
Whether you're considering a custom club fitting, looking to have new clubs built or simply need a repair, you may have a few questions before visiting GolfLab. Here you'll find answers to some of the questions we are asked most often.
If there's anything you'd like to know that isn't covered below, please get in touch. We're always happy to help.
1. What is a custom golf club fitting?
A custom fitting is a process of finding the right golf clubs and specifications for your individual swing, playing style and physical characteristics. Using TrackMan 4 launch monitor technology, we assess your performance and test different clubheads, shafts, lengths, lofts, lies and grips to identify the equipment that works best for you.
The aim is to help you get more from your game through better distance, accuracy, consistency and control.
2. Do I need to be a good golfer to benefit from club fitting?
Not at all. Golfers of all abilities can benefit from properly fitted equipment. Whether you're a beginner, a regular club golfer or a low-handicap player, the right specifications can help you get the most from your swing and make the game more enjoyable.
3. How long does a club fitting take?
It depends on the type of fitting and what we're looking to achieve. As a guide, allow approximately 60–120 minutes for a full fitting. We also carry out an initial performance and equipment assessment before beginning the fitting process.
4. What should I bring to my fitting?
Ideally, bring your current golf clubs and the golf balls you normally play. This allows us to establish a performance baseline and compare any new recommendations against your existing equipment. If you have any particular concerns or goals for your game, we'll discuss those too.
5. Can I have just one club fitted, such as a driver?
Absolutely. You don't need to replace your entire set. We can fit individual clubs, including drivers, fairway woods, irons, wedges and putters. Sometimes changing just one or two clubs can make a noticeable difference
6. What technology do you use for club fitting?
GolfLab uses TrackMan 4 dual-radar technology to measure key performance data, including ball speed, club delivery, launch angle, spin, carry distance and dispersion. We combine this information with practical testing in our indoor fitting studio and on the outdoor range to confirm how the clubs perform.
7. Can I be fitted for a putter?
Yes. We offer dedicated putter fittings, including models from Scotty Cameron, L.A.B. Golf and Odyssey. We look at factors such as putter length, lie, head design, alignment, grip and your natural putting stroke to help find a putter that suits you.
8. How much does a club fitting cost?
Please contact GolfLab for current fitting fees and details of the different fitting options.
9. Is the fitting fee redeemable against a purchase?
Yes. Your fitting fee is fully redeemable against the purchase of the equipment recommended during your fitting. If you decide to order your fitted clubs through GolfLab, the fitting fee is deducted from your purchase.
10. Am I obliged to buy clubs after a fitting?
Not at all. A fitting is about understanding your equipment needs and identifying the best options for your game. You'll receive your recommendations and fitting report, and there's no obligation to purchase.
11. Do you work with different golf club manufacturers?
Yes. We offer a carefully selected range of premium golf equipment, including Miura, McLaren, L.A.B. Golf, Callaway, TaylorMade, PING and Titleist. Our recommendations are based on what suits your swing and requirements, rather than simply choosing a particular brand.
12. Do you build golf clubs on site?
Yes. Club building is carried out in-house at GolfLab. This means the fitting, equipment selection and build process are all handled under one roof, with close attention to the specifications established during your fitting.
13. How long does it take to build my new clubs?
Where components are available, we aim to build your clubs on the same day as your fitting, with many orders typically ready within 24 hours. The exact turnaround depends on component availability and the complexity of the build.
14. Can you build clubs using components I've already purchased?
Please contact us to discuss your requirements. We can advise on the components, specifications and build options available for your particular clubs.
15. Can you re-grip my existing golf clubs?
Yes. We offer a professional re-gripping service with a wide selection of quality grips in different sizes, shapes, textures and weights. We'll help you choose the right grip for your hands and preferences.
16. Can I have my clubs re-gripped while I wait?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the number of clubs and grip availability, we can often complete re-gripping while you wait. It's best to contact us beforehand so we can confirm availability and timing.
17. What other golf club repairs do you offer?
We provide a range of repair and maintenance services, including shaft repairs and replacements, loft and lie adjustments, club length alterations, grip replacement, swingweight adjustments and general club maintenance. If you're unsure whether we can help, just get in touch.
18. How often should I replace my golf grips?
Grips gradually lose their texture and performance through use, exposure to sunlight and general wear. As a general guide, regular golfers should consider replacing their grips at least once a year. If you practise frequently or play regularly in warm conditions, you may need to replace them more often.
19. Where is GolfLab located?
GolfLab is based at La Cala Golf on the Costa del Sol, Spain. If you're visiting the resort or staying nearby, we're conveniently located for golfers looking for professional club fitting, equipment advice or repairs.
20. Do I need to book an appointment?
For custom fittings, we strongly recommend booking an appointment so that we can dedicate the right amount of time to you. For repairs and re-gripping, please contact us in advance to check availability.
21. How can I contact GolfLab?
You can contact us by phone, email or WhatsApp to discuss a fitting, arrange a repair or ask any questions about our services. We'll be happy to help.
