One of the most important questions we get at 2nd Swing is what to do in advance of a golf club fitting. In order to maximize the experience, golfers can provide a few pieces of information for the fitter and prepare themselves to hit several golf shots, among other things.
In this video, 2nd Swing’s Michael Geiger sits down with master club fitter Larry Bobka to discuss preparing for a golf club fitting, and a few things that can improve the efficiency of a golf club fitting.

Great stuff, thanks. Winter just wrapping up here, courses will start opening in about 3 weeks. A quick question, when you are taking lessons and you’re improving, is it okay to get clubs based on the fact you will in time move into a players iron rather then playing a game improvement iron? I just find the game improvement irons so chunky.
Awesome video very informing
Just bought some LH Mizuno Hot Metals from 2ndswing. Super fast shipping. Should be here Friday and I just ordered it on Monday. Highly recommend! Thanks 🙏
HI Guys love your channel,, I was just wondering how tall Thomas Cambell is. ??
.I have seen he is using a 45" driver shaft…looking at going to this length myself this year , even down to 44.3/4 ?
Larry is great
Why do you need someone's handicap ? Doesn't this just categorise the type of club they'd be put into ? Not all higher handicappers for instance need extra strong lofted irons.
I got fit last year for irons, driver and fairway woods. Since then, I have gone thru a major swing change. Would you suggest possibly doing another fitting to see where I am now compared to a year ago?
Hi guys; How do you fit a high handicapper with such an inconsistent swing or bad fundamentals?
What happens if you go for a driver fitting and you're an absolute menace not hitting well and sky mark the driver
I’m looking to get a fitting in a year or so these clubs will be my clubs probably atleast 5-10 years hopefully so I’m kind of set on what I want.
In my bag I have a cobra king f9 driver, I will replace with the same club I love it just has some love to it where I wasn’t as good
My gaping issues start at woods. I have a 17-20 degree cobra f7 it says 5-6 wood on it, hit it well.
I have a 19 degree Cleveland launcher hb 3 hybrid. Use the 5-6 as a 3 wood and 19 as a 5 wood. Want to replace those. Looking for a stronger lofted 3 wood. And to use the 5-6 wood as it’s intended. So possibly the new cobra line at the time for both.
I play strata irons 28-44 degrees 6-pw in 4 degree increments and I like that but I’m missing something along the lines of 24 degrees. I have wedges at 51 56 and 60 degrees. There’s a noticeable gap between the 51-56 and the pw to the 51. So I want to change those to 52-56-60 and throw in a 48 but everytime I look up a 48 degree it only takes me to 50-60
I want Cleveland wedges, irons I’ve narrowed down to mizuno p225 taylormade p790 srixon zx5 or 7.
I want my bag to consist of
1. Driver 9.5-12.5
2. 3 wood 13-16
3. 5 wood 17-20
4. 24 degree(5i?)
5.28 degree(6i)
6. 32 degree 7
7. 36 degree 8
8. 40 degree 9
9. 44 degree pw
10. 48 degree wedge
11.52 degree wedge
12.56 degree wedge
13.60 degree wedge
14. Putter
I understand the gapping may not work out that way but I want my own lofts that I like and am used to. I just want a fitting to get the shafts right.
I’m looking atleast at a cold $2000 to 2500. So it’s going to take me a minute to get there but that’s what I want. I am in beginner clubs so I’m looking players distance irons, maybe better because like I said it will be clubs for 5-10 years. I played a round 2 under the other day and a 9.8 handicap. Playing best golf of my life so I don’t want game improvement or anything I feel like will hinder my game in the future. Something I can get better with in my hands
Good video and I watched another video of an actual fitting. I have 2 questions if I may. I started lessons again and I am trying to fix/change some bad habits that I have built over the last 30 years of playing golf. My swing now may be different than what it will be in 6 months. Should I wait for a fitting and will changes to my swing change things? I see a lot of trials of different clubs in the fitting sessions. Is it possible to come away from a fitting with iron specs such as shaft flex, shaft length, grip size, optimum lie angle, optimum degree of offset, optimum swing weights, etc? I tinker with my clubs by adding swing weight, back weight with lead tape in the grip, shaft extenders and such. I've never had a fitting before though.
Guys, what if I have never swung a club, I'm brand new? Is it worth it to get fitted? I have to assume things will change rapidly in the beginning as even a little progress is made.
So a fitting is not fitting me to my existing clubs but buying new clubs and being fit.
If I would like a fitting, but want to buy new clubs, can I get them from you?
