                                  I      f  you’re in the market for a new set of clubs and headed


                                         to a store to check some out, listen closely. Stop!

                                         Before you buy a new set of golf clubs off the rack and
                                         hit the course, you owe it to yourself and your golf
                                         swing to check out the PGA TOUR Superstore Fitting
                                    Van Experience. A club fitting here can and will change
                                    your outlook on the game of golf, as well as your perfor-
                                    mance. Why? We’re glad you asked.

                                    No matter a player’s skill level—from professional down
                                    to those just getting started—it’s imperative to play with
                                    clubs fitted to your swing. As anyone who has followed
                                    golf knows, no two swings are alike. Check out PGA TOUR
                                    players Jim Furyk and Matthew Wolff as two examples of
                                    swings that are not textbook, but still provide great results.
                                    One thing they have in common is they are both playing
                                    with clubs fitted to them to maximize their performance.
                                    “We start with the basics,” says Bobby
                                    Weaver, master clubfitter at PGA
                                    TOUR Superstore. “How often are
                                    you playing? How old are your clubs?
                                    With the changes and upgrades man-
                                    ufacturers make every year, it makes
                                    it that much more important to get
                                    fit to help players achieve whatever
                                    their golf goals are.” The fitters at
                                    the PGA TOUR Superstore Fitting
                                    Van Experience can fine-tune your set of clubs to help you
                                    get the most out of your game. And not to worry, they can
                                    and do work with every clubmaker, so getting your favorite
                                    brand is no problem. If your current clubs are a few years
                                    old, you’re already falling behind the times. “I just had a

                                    loft was six degrees higher than the newer irons. He picked
