Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will adjusting loft angles help me improve my game ?

Yes. Some golfers tend to add loft or de-loft the clubface at impact. It is, therefore, important to find the optimum loft for the optimum ball flight.

2. If you adjust my lie angle, will it improve my game ?

Definitely. It is the second most important part of fitting. A lie angle at address is definitely not the same angle at impact. Too flat an angle and the club will push the ball to the right. Too upright and there is a tendency to pull.

3. If I lengthen my shaft in my driver, will it give me more distance and will I hit it straighter ?

In some cases, yes, but in most cases, no. Generally, a shaft that’s too long will cause outward and inward swings which, in turn, will cause the ball to slice, thus losing distance.

4. Which is better – steel or graphite ?

In my opinion, accuracy is far more important than distance. Therefore, I think most golfers should use steel shafts. If the golfer is a slow swinger or has some physical problems, or if the golfer is a lady, then graphite is the way to go.

5. Is custom-fitting as good as OEM clubs off the rack ?

Of course. OEM clubs off the shelf are basically the same. Most OEM clubs cannot be adjusted for the individual, unlike custom-fitted clubs which can be adjusted to suit the individual eg, loft, lie, flex, grip size, length.

6. Will having custom-fitted clubs help me play better golf ?

Not in all cases but the majority of golfers will see an improvement in their game compared to a golfer who buys OEM clubs off the shelf.

7. Is the after sales service for custom-fitted clubs better than for off-the-shelf clubs ?

At RGT, we pride ourselves on after sales service. When you buy off the shelf clubs, the service received is limited because the person who sold you the clubs is a sales person who does not have background in club making or club repair. That is why golfers who have problems with their clubs and just want them serviced, should go to a custom fitter like RGT.

8. Is the quality of materials used in custom fitting as good as the big OEM companies?

In most cases, the material we use in custom fitting is either the same or of a higher quality than those used in OEM

9. What sort of guarantee can RGT give me against OEM clubs ?

At RGT, we give a 5 – 10 year guarantee against breakages for custom-fitted clubs whereas OEM does not.

10. Do professional golfers use the same type and make of clubs that you buy off the shelf ?

What you see most professionals use, cannot be bought off the shelf. Nearly all pros have them fitted for their individual swing. At RGT, we can do that for amateur golfers.
