The 5 Tips To Prepare For A Fitting

At Bob VanSweden Golf, our fittings are among the most comprehensive in the industry. By combining cutting-edge technology, top-tier equipment, and decades of professional fitting expertise, we give you the best opportunity to find clubs perfectly matched to your game.

Your fitting is more than just testing clubs — it's a deep dive into your swing and equipment needs. To help you make the most of your session, here are our top tips for preparing for a successful fitting experience. We follow a structured and proven fitting process, whether you're getting fit for a single club or an entire bag. Here’s how to come in ready:

1. Avoid Playing Golf Before Your Fitting

While a fitting won’t require you to hit hundreds of balls, you still want to be fresh and able to swing with full speed and energy. Coming straight from a full round can lead to fatigue, which may affect your swing speed and skew your data — potentially resulting in a less-than-optimal recommendation.

Tip: Schedule your fitting on a rest day or earlier in the day before playing.

2. Bring Your Current Clubs

Please bring your current set with you — even if you're looking to replace it entirely. Your existing clubs provide a valuable performance baseline for comparison. Seeing how new equipment stacks up against what you're currently playing helps us better identify real improvements. If you don’t have your current clubs, we will provide them for you to warm up with before fitting starts.

3. Jot Down Your Goals

Before your appointment, take a few notes about what you'd like to improve — whether it’s distance, consistency, ball flight, or feel. Knowing your strengths, struggles, and overall goals allows your fitter to tailor the session specifically to you.

4. Browse New Equipment Releases

We are 100% brand agnostic — we don’t push any specific brands or products. But it’s helpful if you’ve done a little homework on what’s out there. If there’s a driver or iron that’s caught your attention, let us know — we’ll make sure you get the chance to test it.

5. Stretch and Stay Hydrated

Come in physically ready. A light stretch beforehand can help you loosen up and perform better during testing. And don’t forget to hydrate — proper hydration helps maintain swing speed and focus throughout your session.

Final Thoughts

If you follow these five simple tips, we’ll take care of the rest. You’ll leave your fitting with a deeper understanding of your game, greater confidence, and a clear path forward — with equipment precisely matched to your swing and goals.
