Why are Custom Fit Clubs better for me?
First answer these 4 questions: 1) Are all golfers the same size? 2) Do all golfers have the same strength? 3) Do all golfers have the same athletic ability? 4) Do all golfers have the same swing characteristics? If the answers are "no" then how can a a standard, off the rack set of men's or ladies clubs fit all golfers? A set bought off the rack can not allow you to be all that you can be as a golfer compared to a set built one club at a time with your swingspeed, tempo, athletic ability, coordination, and body size taken into consideration. There really is no such thing as a Junior, Senior, Male, or Female golfer per se. There are only golfers with differences in size, strength, athletic abilities, and swing characteristics. Take Senior men for example. Are we talking a 68 yr old, 6' 3", 225 lb, retired lumberjack, or a 68 yr old, 5' 5", 155 lb, retired bookkeeper? How can a golf club marked "Senior Flex", in one length, one total weight, one grip size, one flex, and one lie/loft angle be right for both of these senior players? When they start making all senior men in the same size, shape, and athletic ability, the concept of a "senior golf club" will make sense. Until then, the term is a marketing phrase and nothing more. The fact is the big golf companies will continue to spend $50 million a year to brainwash golfers into thinking the quality of a golf club lies more in the name on the sole and who on tour plays clubs with those names on the sole, rather than if the clubs are accurately and very professionally custom fit to all the differences between golfers' size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics. You will never be all that you can be as a golfer without being custom fit for golf clubs. The best players on the planet compete with custom fit golf clubs and nothing is stopping you from doing the same? Your clubs will be built to perform to their maximum given your swing and your game. All workmanship and clubheads carry a lifetime warranty. Each club is a direct reflection on my abilities as a craftsman and professional clubmaker. I am a member of the GCA (Golf Clubmakers Association) and since 1996 have successfully completed courses in Advanced Clubfitting, Assembly, and Repair in the United States and Canada. Most recently, 2011, I completed the certification to become a PPGS (Peak Performance Golf Swing) certified fitter. In 2008 I attended the Golf Clubmaker's Convention in Austin, Texas. In 2004 I completed the Master Craftsman Clubmaking Course in Austin, Texes which is the most advanced school they offer. I continue to educate myself in all aspects of clubmaking, fitting,and repair.

Performance based fitting
Golf equipment technology has seen remarkable advances over the last few years. The options now available are so diverse that the process of buying and trying is no longer viable. Performance based fitting, with the next generation of fititng equipment and expertise is the only way to get the most out of today's golf club technology. Bob Sailer specializes in the next generation of performance based fitting. Using 3D Doppler Radar and V1 Software, your swing, club head path and ball flight are measured and analyzed. Loft, lie, weight, balance and shaft geometry are tested until your perfect fit is found. Call for an appointment and start on the path to a better game with performance fit golf clubs.

Better golf is just a fit away.



Email me at bobsailergolf@shaw.ca and request "golf info" in the subject line and I will return your email with interesting golf videos/links regarding what you should know before investing in golf clubs. Ask Yourself: Are all golfers the same size, the same strength, posess the same athletic ability, or have the same swing speed and tempo? If you have ever observed golfers on a driving range, you know the answer is NO! Because we are all unique regarding our size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics, preassembled clubs built to one standard set of specifications (regarding length, lie, loft, total weight, swing weight/MOI, wood face angle, shaft flex, shaft weight, shaft bend profile, grip size, set make-up, etc) will very likely not allow you to play your best golf. You see, in other sports where we hit a ball with a stick, like tennis or baseball, only 1 stick is needed. Therefore, it is very easy and an absolute must for these manufacturers to cutomize these sticks to the different size, strength, and athletic abilities of their consumers. Because you need 14 sticks in golf, they can't be offered in a vast selection of different lengths, lies, weights, shafts, grip sizes, etc, because the mass production assembly line couldn't handle these demands, not to mention the huge inventory needed and resulting inventory nightmare for the store selling them, and the knowledgeable staff needed to properly fit and build them from scratch for each individual customer. BEFORE you get misled by a $50 million per year marketing campaign, allow me to give you a free, 15 minute, no obligation, clubfitting demonstration before you decide where to buy...at the very least you will learn a few things.
