Callaway Golf OptiFit Fitting System

OptiFit Clubs Replicate The Look, Feel and Performance of Production Clubs
Callaway Golf engineers have designed the OptiFit Fitting System clubs to make them indistinguishable from the actual driver or iron a consumer will put in play. The swing weight and center of gravity location are basically identical to the finished production club with no discernible difference in terms of playability, feel and performance.

Choosing Your Ideal Clubhead and Shaft Combination has Never Been Easier
There are now 15 FT-5 Driver clubheads and nine Hyper X Driver clubheads to go along with 29 shaft options from the most-respected and most sought-after shaft manufacturers in the marketplace, including Aldila, Fujikura, Grafalloy, UST and Mitsubishi Rayon. That means you have 696 total driver configurations to choose from in drivers. Each shaft may be interchanged with any club head so you will have no doubt as to how a particular shaft and head will perform for your unique swing.

In addition, there are 23 irons heads and 27 shafts for a total of 621 iron configurations. Choose from stock and custom shafts available in varying lengths and flexes, as well as iron heads in a variety of lie angles.

Players of All Abilities Will Benefit
Before OptiFit, only touring pros could test multiple head and shaft combinations to find the right driver. Now that option is available to every golfer regardless of their ability. The novice golfer will discover, before purchasing his/her clubs, which loft and flex combination work best for them. The advanced golfer will be able to fine-tune their desired feel and ball flight with precision.

Fittings are available by appointment only and are $100.00/hour.
