1. Do I really need custom fit golf clubs?

More than 3/4 of golfers with a handicap of 10 or lower play with custom fitted clubs. These players know that getting the most out of their game requires a finely tuned set of clubs built exclusively for them. The fact is golfers of all abilities can benefit from a properly fitted set of clubs.

The old cliché “People are like snowflakes; no two are alike” pertains very much why your clubs need customized. When manufacturers make mass-produced or “off the rack clubs”,, they are doing so by establishing an average. Whether it be producing the club length based on the average height of men and women, grip sizes to average players hand sizes, shaft flex based on average strengths of golfers.  The manufacturer has to establish some baseline so their clubs can fit as broad of an array of golfers as possible. If you are buying clubs “off the rack”, then you need to ask yourself “I am Mr. (or Mrs.) Average?” There is a very good chance you are not.

Our dynamic fitting system allows the CFC certified fitter to determine what club is best for your game. The all-inclusive session will accurately fit you with the correct shaft, flex, length, lie, grip, and model. Add a lifetime warranty that includes free loft and lie adjustments, and you have a perfectly tuned set of custom clubs that will last a lifetime.

2. How does your 6 round Iron Clad Money Back Guarantee work?

Central Florida Customs Golf guarantees a 5 stroke reduction with the investment of a complete (14) club set.  If CFC Golf builds you a 14 piece set of custom fit/built set of equipment, and you play them for a minimum of 6 rounds, and don’t realize a 5 stroke reduction in your score (on the honor system), CFC Golf will refund your investment in full.

A) Fitting the golfer with the appropriate driver model, loft and shaft based on ball speed, ability & swing.
B) Determining initial iron model recommendation based on player’s aesthetic preference & swing.
C) Customizing the recommended iron (lie, length, shaft type, flex & grip).
D) Determining initial set composition and club comparison recommendations based on player’s wedge preferences and swing.
E) Comparing fairway metals, Bafflers and longer irons to determine final Accurate Set Composition based on player’s swing.

5. Should I use Graphite or Steel shafts?

In most cases both.  Steel shafts have been used for golf clubs since the 1920’s, although earlier versions can be dated back to the turn of the 20th century. Graphite shafts are a relatively new material used in golf, dating back to the late 1960’s, but didn’t gain widespread acceptance until the mid 1980’s. Both materials are used for some of the following reasons.

Since the graphite shafts are generally lighter than steel shafts, there is a potential for greater distance because they may be able to be swung slightly faster. Most graphite shafted clubs are assembled longer in length than standard steel-shafted clubs. Golfers that tend to be less consistent may find the steel shafts to give them greater control. But for those golfers, such as ladies and seniors, who need additional length to enjoy the game better, graphite shafts are a welcome alternative.

Another advantage of graphite shafts over steel is from a design standpoint. As earlier stated, graphite shafts are manufactured from multiple layers of carbon fiber. Each layer can be a different modulus (strength) material and can be applied at different angles to contribute independently to the stiffness or reduction in twisting along the length of the shaft. This allows graphite shaft manufactures almost limitless possibilities in new designs
Because of the various materials able to be used in the manufacturer of the golf shaft, there is a much greater range in pricing as well. An inexpensive graphite shaft may cost $60.00, while the most expensive shaft can cost as much as $1000.00! Although most graphite shafts normally found in $40.00 - $90.00 range. Expect a club with a graphite shaft to cost more than with a steel shaft.

This is why the majority of Tour Professionals have both steel and graphite shafted clubs in their bag. Greater than 90% of all drivers have graphite shafts in them. This is because the driver is designed for maximum distance and is much larger and easier-to-hit than they were just a few years ago. For fairway woods, more than 80% are equipped with graphite shafts as players tend to match the driver with the same type of shaft. Golfers, who tend to hit the ball a long way and/or need more control, may find steel to their liking. There are a number of lightweight steel shafts available as an alternative to graphite.

Irons and wedges are usually just the opposite in the shaft material choice. Approximately 75% of irons sold today are sold with steel shafts. The primary reason for choosing steel may be an economic factor as the irons and wedges make up a great percentage of the clubs in the bag. The other reason why golfers choose steel in their irons and wedges is for control rather than increasing distance, especially among stronger individuals. However, there are a number of quality Swing Science Graphite iron shafts that come in all different weights and stiffness to match nearly every golfer.

The CFC 4000 & CFC 3000 putters are the next generation of putting instrument technology developed by CFC Golf.  It’s advanced core design features an aircraft grade T-6 aluminum sole plate and a heavy 304 weapons grade stainless steel body.

Technology
The CFC putters incorporate the best effects of Inverted Mass Technology where the weight is moved to the top of the putter head, placing most of the mass of the putter above the equator of the golf ball. This weight shift imparts immediate topspin on the ball eliminating skidding, sidespin or bouncing, results in more accurate putts.
The second advancement has been the dispersion of the weight to the back, sides, and face of the putter. Based on extensive research and state of the art robot testing, this re-engineering produces a perfectly balanced putter.

Grips are made of materials that age and wear as a function of time and use. Ozone, heat, dirt and oils from your hands all age your grips and cause the natural degradation of the grip. The traction that a fresh grip provides lets you hold the club lightly without the subconscious fear of losing the club during your swing. This relaxed state promotes proper swing mechanics and wrist action. While a worn grip causes you to grasp the club tighter, causing arm and wrist tension that inhibits proper swing mechanics and leads to a loss of power and control.  Yes the grip matters a great deal.

Putter grips are the most touched, most used, and most overlooked piece of equipment in the bag. Because putter grips are used once, twice, and unfortunately sometimes three or four times per green, they deserve far more attention and care than they typically get. Putting is the key to scoring, and good putting requires confidence. That's why you need to select a putter size, shape, and material that performs best for you. And once you've made your selection, you need to clean the putter grip just as you do all other grips in the bag, to maintain that original tacky feel. Nothing is more individualistic than putting, so look for the putter grip that suits your personal preference, and helps you take the dreaded 3-putt out of your repertoire.

Yes, it sure does.  Your swing speed is what determines the correct ball compression for maximum distance and control.  At least ½ of all golfers are using the wrong ball.  Your CFC Certified Clubfitter will educate you on the correct ball to hit, every hole.  Finding the center of gravity and correct roll of the ball you’re driving and putting will drop even more strokes from your current game.

Yes again.  CFC recommends that all golfers use a friction free golf tee.  It will land you in the fairway more often than not, thus, reducing your score.  Friction free tee’s cost more money.  They’re worth the extra $5.00.  You’ll never play with an “Off the Rack” tee again.  Ask your CFC Clubfitter what a friction free tee is and how it can help you.
