Iron Fitting – Precision, Consistency and Control.
A professional iron fitting is about much more than finding the right clubs. It's about understanding your swing and matching every element of your equipment to maximise consistency, accuracy and performance throughout your game.
We begin by identifying the ideal clubhead, evaluating design, size, centre of gravity, forgiveness, weight distribution and loft. These characteristics all influence launch, ball flight, distance control and overall consistency. Whether you benefit from a more forgiving design or a players-style iron offering greater feel and control, we identify the head that best suits your game.
Next comes shaft selection – one of the most important elements of a successful iron fitting. We assess steel and graphite options, considering shaft weight, flex and profile in relation to your swing speed, tempo, transition, release and preferred ball flight. The right shaft helps optimise launch, consistency and energy transfer, giving you greater control over every shot.
Shaft length is equally critical. Correctly fitted clubs improve your chances of consistently striking the centre of the clubface, where energy transfer is most efficient. We regularly find golfers playing irons that are too long. Although additional length might appear to offer more distance, it can make consistent contact considerably more difficult, often compromising both distance and accuracy. Our objective is to find the ideal length for your posture, swing and impact position.
We then move on to lie angle optimisation. The correct lie angle helps ensure that the club interacts properly with the ground at impact and that your shots start on the intended line. Using dynamic lie assessment, a lie board and impact tape, we establish the specifications that best suit your delivery.
Finally, we select the ideal grip, considering size, weight, texture and feel to provide the most comfortable and consistent connection between you and the club.
With an extensive selection of clubheads and shafts from leading manufacturers, combined with TrackMan performance analysis, we can build an iron setup that is truly matched to your game.
Wedge Fitting – Where Precision Meets Scoring Performance.
A professional wedge fitting starts where scoring really matters: around the green and inside 40 metres.
We begin by asking you to hit a series of 30–40 metre pitch shots, commonly known as finesse wedge shots. This allows us to assess your technique, impact conditions and interaction with the turf, helping us identify the ideal combination of sole grind and bounce angle.
These two elements are fundamental to wedge performance. The right grind and bounce influence how the club moves through the turf, helping you achieve more consistent contact, better control and greater confidence around the greens.
All wedge fittings are conducted from natural grass. This is essential because sole grind and bounce can only be properly evaluated when the club interacts with real turf. We want to see how the wedge performs in authentic playing conditions, not just on a hitting mat.
Once we have identified your ideal finesse wedge, we move on to longer wedge shots. We assess your distances and determine which additional wedges best complement your setup, creating consistent distance gaps between your pitching wedge or 9-iron and your highest-lofted wedge.
The result is a carefully designed wedge configuration, tailored to your swing, playing style and distance requirements, giving you the right tool for every scoring situation.
Irons & Wedges – One Complete, Balanced Setup.
Your irons and wedges should never be fitted in isolation. They need to work together as a complete system, providing consistent distance gaps, predictable ball flight and the right level of control from long approaches to delicate shots around the green.
At GolfLab, we look at the bigger picture, ensuring your iron specifications and wedge configuration complement one another to create a seamless transition throughout your bag.
