In this article I will explain how is the step by step of a HCC golf fitting.

It starts with something very simple, request an appointment through the Whatssap that we have in the Web page and contracting the fitting service that adjusts to what you are looking for.

If you call the phone, I'll be on the other side, not a bot, not another person... just me.

By the way, I have enabled whatsapp because it is the fastest and most accessible way that anyone has at their disposal.

As soon as you set your appointment and prepaid the type of fitting you want to do, I will summon you to the Performance Center of Golf Son Gual, where I have my studio with a number of options that you will not find in Spain so far, not only in brands of club heads but in rods since we have all the models that shafts that you see on the web in the section SHAFTS and brands that we do not post on the web to give added value to those who come to the studio to get a fitting and continue to be different.

The first part and the fundamental one for me is what I call the PATIENT MEDICAL RECORD

This is how I consider that I should treat you since I believe that when you write to me, call me and finally come to see me, it is because you have gone to many other places and have not been able to hit the nail on the head with what you are looking for.

With this I do not want to say that what I say is the absolute truth, but I can confirm that what we obtain will be the result of what we work on the Medical Record and the basis for later achieving the objectives.

GO FOR IT…

My medical file, probably the most similar to the rest of fitters.

What I do is find out without touching any club in the bag, why the person plays what he has in the bag and the history of each of the clubs with which he fights on the course.

And yes, he fights...later I will explain why I have used this word.

THE REPORT THAT I MAKE OF EACH PLAYER TOGETHER WITH THE WORK IS IN THEIR PATIENT MEDICAL RECORD, AND IF PATIENT, DON'T BE SURPRISED, YOU ARE AND PLAYERS OF COURSE.

The reason I need to know from what moment the player made the mistake of playing what he plays and why.

Since that is essential to start the trip.

You will like this part...

• Weaknesses and strengths in your game.
• Physical activity that develops both weekly and monthly in addition to playing golf.
• The technical work you do with your teacher. And what teacher do you have and why?
• The corrections they make and if you understand why they make those changes.
• How you feel your power flowing through the backswing and downswing.
• How do you consider your ball flight to be and what is its predominant effect?
• Medical history, injuries and congenital health problems.

As you will be able to read, it is a file that takes me almost an hour of work to be able to organize it and to be able to understand everything and make sense.

And finally there is the part where I let the player tell me what I want to know so that I can recommend something that suits his personal tastes:

• head brand you like
• Type of Head you want to play (Forged or Casted)
• Budget that you have (to be able to always suggest according to your needs and with the economic possibilities of each one)

«In the medical file, each data that is recorded is a specification that I will later recommend with the main purpose that I set my objectives with the player in what he would like to have. or to get with their clubs or new clubs«

The next phase of fitting that I develop and after the analysis of the data and the tastes is the phase that I like the most and where I consider myself an intuitive, analytical and conscientious person.

It's the part where I have to make the heads that we have selected work with the numbers and have the player generate the energy constantly and consistently in order to make the club that he plays very effective.

It is the most fitter part of the fitting and what many fitters do without going through the analysis that I carry out and without putting all the knowledge of materials, shafts, balance points, types of assembly, type of cut, swing weight, lie and loft , etc

Now comes where if you have not realized where my great value is, I build the clubs to the millimeter of what I fit.

That means that I have the 100% of the process information and I apply it to the assembly.

Do you know that good fitters don't just look at the numbers?

Well it's true, good fitters usually interpret the data (Trackman, Flightscope and SAM PuttLab available at Studio HCC), along with the flight of the ball and the sound of the ball at impact as those skills make for a quality fitter.

And above all that the player is aware of what happened when the material is correctly adjusted.

To say that you make custom clubs and only do fittings in a closed studio is to leave the result of a job that is not always correct too much to the chance of technology, since the data and the shots are given on the golf course.

With this I do not mean that the measurement devices work badly, but that the indoor data is not always correlative with the field.

«MY RESPONSIBILITY TO MY PLAYER IS TO ACHIEVE THAT WHAT THEY WANT IS POSSIBLE AND ADJUSTS TO THEIR NEEDS. THAT'S WHY "THE SHAFT AND ITS SET UP" IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, AND THE PLAYER'S FEELING OF CONFIDENCE IS A RESULT OF THE PROCESS"

In another article that will arrive shortly I will talk about the data and the correlation of measuring devices and the bad adjustment that they usually have due to lack of knowledge in the technology they buy and that it is only a claim to attract the attention of players who trust which are adjusted.
