Wedge Fitting
We get quite a few people asking about why they don't get spin like Rory Mcilroy or some of the top players. Out of all the custom fits we do at Manston Golf Centre wedge fitting seems to be one of the least popular, which considering you hit most of your golf shots inside 100 yards seems rather silly not to have these with the correct bounce, correct grind and correct length and lie.
Also if the wedges have been used a lot then the grooves will be worn out and not spin (see table).
As you can see from the table fresh grooves have a lot more spin on it after 125 rounds 2000 rpm (revs per minute) which will give you a lot more control and spin on the approach shots.
For a limited period we're offering a FREE wedge check where we'll make sure you have no issues with loft, lie or length - just pop in and see us or click here to book.
Multi Demo Day Proves A Great Success
On Saturday we ran our first ever multi brand demo day, gathering together PING, Callaway, TaylorMade, Yonex, Cleveland, Srixon, Titleist, Odyssey, Scotty Cameron and US Kids in one place to show off their stunning products and offer first class fittings. Without doubt it was a great success and the various supplier's fitters were busy throughout the day.
We'll be looking to run another of these days later in the Summer, in the meantime though don't forget we have full custom fitting options for all of these brands in our studio - so every day can be a fitting day at Manston.
A hot topic of conversation on the day was the double trade in offer being run by American Golf, we're pleased to say that we were able to match or even better their price on every item we looked at. Plus no onerous terms and conditions with us, no limit on how many clubs you can trade in and a guarantee of great service too!
