But specifying a club requires knowing what to specify, and there is no studio down the road to tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gap is where most bad direct-to-consumer purchases happen. It is entirely avoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Step one: get fitted somewhere else\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Pay for an independent fitting at a retailer or fitting centre carrying several brands. It costs a fraction of what you save buying direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What you want out of it is numbers, not a recommendation: length, lie angle, shaft weight and profile, swing speed, and your launch and spin figures with irons and driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Step two: write down the build sheet\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Length, lie, loft, shaft model and flex, grip model and size, swing weight. Every one of those is a field on the order form, and every one you leave at default is a decision made by an average rather than by you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Step three: use the demo programme\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Sub 70 lets you try clubs before committing. Use it, particularly for the driver and for any iron set where you are choosing between two tiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feel and sound cannot be specified on a form, and they are the things golfers most often dislike after ordering blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Step four: order conservatively on the first purchase\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Buy the irons first rather than a whole bag. If the feel, sound and build quality suit you, the rest follows easily. If they do not, you have limited the mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>What to do if you cannot get fitted\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Measure what you already play. Length, lie and shaft of your current irons, plus an honest note of your typical miss, gets you most of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Matching your existing specification is a far safer starting point than guessing at an ideal one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The mistake to avoid\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Ordering standard specification because the form allows it. If you accept every default, you have bought a rack club without the benefit of having hit it first, which is the worst of both worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Fitting tip:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Take your current 7-iron to the fitting and have it measured.
