Frequently asked questions
How do I get Fitted?
Call us and make an appointment. Roy Nix does two fittings a week. One on Tuesday and One on Thursday. Fitting time is 1 PM You can set up and pay for your fitting on this page click here How much does it cost to get fitted?
Wood fittings for a Driver, fairway woods and/or Hybrids are $150.
Iron fittings for a set of irons and wedges, and/or Hybrids are $150.
Full Set Fittings are $225 and this includes putter fitting also. Why isn’t a Full Fitting $300?
There are many redundancies in the Wood fitting and the Iron fitting and for each fitting the equipment needs to be prepared and calibrated. The preparation time only has to be paid for once when a doing a Full Fitting. A Wood fitting or an Iron fitting alone may take up to 2 or 3 hours and a Full Fitting will only take 3 or 4 hours so there is an economy in doing both at once and we pass on the savings to our customers. What else do I need to know if I want a fitting?
Fittings are payable in advance and non-cancelable.
Fittings are booked approximately 2 weeks in advance because you get a FREE copy of Tom Wishon best selling golf book “Search for the Perfect Golf Club” and you need to read it before you arrive.
Bring you golf clubs, golf shoes, and you glove if you use one because you will be hitting golf balls for a few hours. What happens after the fitting?
After the fitting we know the specifics for your ideal club or set of clubs. You have the option of having your existing clubs retrofitted to meet your specifications as close as possible, or buying a club or set of clubs custom made to those exact specifications. Does the fitting fee include the golf clubs?
No, the fitting fees are for the time and expertise required to analyze your game and for the time on the launch monitor and swing analysis equipment. Any clubs you purchase or any retrofitting on your existing clubs will be a separate charge. How much are your custom clubs?
Our Custom Club prices are comparable to other quality equipment you might purchase in any Golf Store or Pro Shop across the country. Depending on the heads and shafts, some are a little less and some are a little more. Now that I have the information, can I buy clubs fit for me at my local Golf Store or Pro Shop?
Possibly. Our fitting process usually fits you to within 5 sub flexes between the typical flexes you will find in a Golf Store or Pro Shop. If you happen to land on the exact flex the Golf Store or Pro Shop sells you may be able to purchase your clubs there in the length and weight is also a match for you too. Our fitting process will find the best length and weight for your swing and few Golf Stores or Pro Shops are capable of having their clubs made to the specifications you might need. For example: You might need a 43.5 inch Driver with a D-2 swingweight and a 80 gram shaft with a particular flex profile not available from the companies they sell. They only offer 45 or 45.5 inch drivers with 2 or 3 shaft selections and their flexes may not match up to your ideal flex. They cannot order a 43.5 inch driver with a D-2 swingweight because all of the heads for their drivers are manufactured to be assembled at 45 or 45.5 inches. I’ve heard that custom clubs do not have the resell value that the clubs I buy in Golf Stores or Pro Shops have, is that true?
Yes, I’m sure it is. However we are fitting you for a custom set of clubs and they have no value to someone they are not custom made for. Also most people hit their custom clubs so much better there should be no need to resell them unless they have a dramatic change in their swing or ability. Our customers are generally more interested in playing better golf and enjoying the game more than buying and selling clubs. If you are buying clubs for an investment, custom clubs are probably not what you want. OK, suppose I fit pretty close to Store bought clubs and they are on sell, why shouldn’t I save some money and buy these clubs?
If you purpose is to save money you probably should not waste your time getting fitted at McNix. You can ask your local Pro to recommend something close for you. Our fittings are very precise and we spend a lot of time testing for exactly the right specifications for you clubs and it is an expensive process. Why would you spend that much time and that much money and they throw it away on as set of clubs that do not fit. In addition we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee with all of our custom fitted clubs if you buy what we recommend after a fitting. If they do not improve your game and we can adjust them to improve you game, we will refund the purchase price of the clubs. I just bought a set of Callaways, Nikes, Pings, etc. and I want to get you to fit them for me. Can you do that?
Well, Yes & No. Most of the calls we get with this question are really asking to get their lofts and lies adjusted. Yes we can do that. We perform a Dynamic Lie fitting on each club in the set of irons and adjust them individually to your golf swing. Yes we can retrofit your set to your specifications and very likely make them a lot better than they are, but they are still not totally custom fitted to you in the truest sense. Our fitting system does not predetermine what head or shaft or grip you will end up with. We test your swing and you will hit numerous clubs with numerous shafts and through testing we will determine the head and shaft, the lofts, lengths, flexes and set make up that is best suited for you. But, we will not know until we have completed the testing what those are. It is best to be fitted prior to making any purchase and you will have a better set of clubs. If you bought first, come on in anyway and we will fit you and make the adjustments need to make them play better. Custom Built vs. Custom Fit - What is the difference?
Custom built is what original equipment manufacturers (Titleist, Mizuno, etc.) offer for custom clubs. They take existing clubs off the rack and modify them to a limited number of specifications, such as length, lie angle and grip size. However, for Custom Fit, a PCS Clubmaker has a broad selection of heads, shafts and grips at his fingertips, to perform a true custom fitting on a golfer a Clubmaker gathers data on electronic equipment and, after analyzing the data, builds the clubs to the correct specifications for the golfer. The Clubmaker will be making measurements on swing speeds, shaft loading, length, lie angle, grip size and one of the most important things, the set makeup (3 -PW or maybe 4-SW?). Remember when you are getting ready to see a Clubmaker for a new set of custom clubs, make sure your Clubmaker is a member of the Professional Clubmakers Society. Can I go to see a PGA Professional for my next set of custom clubs?
Yes, you can. But it would probably be better to see the PGA professional for your swing problems but see an AGCP Qualified Fitter for your fitting. We like to refer to the PGA professionals as the "Swing Professionals" and the Association of Golf Club Fitting Professionals as the “Fitting Professionals”. When you go to an AGCP member, they have training in fitting and building custom golf equipment. Qualified AGCP members understand that shaft frequencies, shaft torque, head lofts and all 21 of the critical specifications all go into a menu to come up with a perfect set of clubs for you. Many Qualified AGCP members work hand in hand with PGA Professionals to offer a golfer with a combination of swing lessons and the proper equipment to achieve the golfers' ultimate goal for game improvement. Virtually all of the Qualified AGCP members are also member Certified members of the Professional Clubmakers Society too. I have heard a lot about "Frequency Matched" clubs; Is that something that will help me?
Frequency Matched is a process of measuring shaft flex. Most PCS Clubmakers use a frequency analyzer tool to help them build a set of perfectly matched shafts that go into custom clubs. Frequency is measured in cycles per minute (CPM) versus the old method of trying to designate shaft stiffness by using "R" or "S" flexes. The problem is that one company's "R" is another company's "S". However with using frequency measurements, every shaft measurement can be the same. What does this mean to you as a golfer? Usually every golfer has a favorite club in their bag , let's say a 7 iron. A PCS Golf Equipment Professional can measure that club and duplicate it or by measuring the other clubs in your bag, they can also explain why you don't like those particular clubs. Loft and Lie Angle Adjustments - Is it important for my game, and how often should I get them checked?
Let's talk about lie angles first. Many golfers think that the direction of the ball will go off line because the toe or the heel of the club digs into the ground (incorrect lie angle). However, the real reason is because the incorrect lie angle causes the face plane or loft of the club to become tilted. Because of that, it would be easy to understand why the lie angle on your short irons (9, PW, SW) are much more important than the lie angle on your long irons (3, 4, etc.). If you are having problems with the direction control of your short irons, go see your PCS Clubmaker for a dynamic lie angle check. Don't forget, graphite shafted clubs also need proper lie angle adjustment. Loft angle is also very important. Clubs as they come from the factory, have a manufacturing tolerance built into them. In many cases, it will be plus or minus 2 degrees. As an example a 7 iron could be 2 degrees weak and an 8 iron could be 2 degrees strong and most likely, you would be hitting both clubs the same distance. When getting your clubs adjusted for lie angle, your Clubmaker will also check your lofts at the same time. We recommend all golfers getting their clubs checked for loft and lie at least once a year by a PCS Clubmaker. I have been reading a lot about graphite shafts in irons; are they as consistent as steel shafts?
The answer is a loud and clear YES! The specifications that are used to control the manufacturing of graphite shafts have improved 100% in the last 2-3 years. Graphite shafts are available in many different weights and torque to help a PCS Golf Equipment Professional to perfectly match your swing parameters.
The consistency of graphite shafts is here today (as witnessed by many PGA/Champions Tour/LPGA Tour players who are using them such as Rich Beem, Hale Irwin and Annika Sorenstam); but are they right for your game? Let’s look at the benefits of using graphite shafts.
Graphite shafts are lighter and help absorb the shock when hitting a ball. Golfers who have any physical ailments such as tendonitis, arthritis and back problems, will probably find using graphite shafts much easier on your body. Because of the wide variety of specifications available to a Clubmaker when building graphite shafted clubs, their experience becomes very important. So when you are thinking of reshafting your existing clubs or looking at new custom fit graphite shaft clubs; always see a PCS Certified "Class A" Clubmaker. |
