WHAT ARE CUSTOM GOLF CLUBS?

Fitting custom golf clubs is not answering five or six questions on a web site to be ‘fit’ into a Miura Driver or a set of Miura Forged Irons.

Selecting custom golf clubs is not a cart with wheels filled with different golf clubs and sitting in a pro shop or on the practice range.

Buying a set of Miura custom golf clubs is not attending a Demo Day at your local driving range and hitting clubs until you find something you like.

Recommending a set of custom golf clubs is not something that can be accomplished from start to finish in 20 minutes or less, regardless if you are hitting balls on a launch monitor.

Making a set of custom golf clubs is not done by altering some aspects of an existing standard made set of golf clubs.

Fitting custom golf clubs IS working one on one with a trained Miura master fitter over a period of at least 2 hours or more, and frequently over the course of 2 or more visits to the fitters shop.

Custom Miura fitted forged irons IS being fit from scratch with the right clubheads, shafts, and grips being recommended by the custom clubmaker based on results from a TrackMan launch monitor, different models, designs and performance factors.

Custom Fitting IS the domain of the serious, professional clubmaker who ‘lives, eats and breathes’ all of the information available which will allow him or her to accurately match each golfer’s swing to the best fitted set of Miura forged irons.

Custom fitted golf clubs also includes the most used golf club in your bag - the putter. Putters also have to be properly fitted to the correct length, swing weight, loft, lie  and grip.
