New National Fitting Centre from Acushnet

Thu, Aug 21, 2008 - 3:06 PM

In a pro active move to cater for a growing trend within the consumer market, Acushnet has recently opened a new Titleist & Cobra fitting centre, here at Kings Acre Golf Academy, to ensure more golfers can receive the benefits of custom fitted clubs. The fitting centre will add to the already established and successful centre at Acushnet National headquarters, near Cambridgeshire. The combined demand for Tilesit & Cobra fittings has risen by more than 35% in the UK over the past five years.

Golfers can take advantage of the National Fitting Centre by making an appoinment through their local PGA professional or their nearest Titleist & Cobra stockist. Upon arrival, a Fitting Technician will go through the full fitting experience and spend 90 minutes analysing the players game from tee to green. By using state-of-the-art Launch Monitor Technology, the Fitting Technicians will be able to tell golfers exactly which "Set Composition" is best to suit both their physical needs and swing profile.

The process begins with the driver where the analysis of the launch angle, spin rate and shot despersion enables the Fitting Technician to prescribe the correct head, loft and shaft specifications for each individual golfer. Continuing with fairway woods and hybrids, the Fitting Technicians will ensure the correct distance gaps between the driver and irons are correctly filled with clubs that provide optimal trajectory and control for their game.

The objective with fitting irons is to combine club head design and a wide variety of shaft options to provide the ideal ball trajectory that will elevate the golfers game to the next level. Using the revolutionary interchangeable FittingWorks Surefit System, the Fitting Technicians can provide up to 420 different shaft and head combinations to ensure the perfect fit for a golfer's needs. This stage of the fitting process is complemented by a thorough wedge fitting session, when the Technicians will look at the golfer's angle of attack and favoured shots from within 100 yards of the green.

By visiting the new Titleist & Cobra National Fitting Centre, golfers have the choice of being fit for any of the new Titleist & Cobra products within the current portfolio and the soon to arrive new product additions.

To book an appoinment or general enquiries, please contact Kings Acre reception on 0131 663 3456, you may be assured of our best attention at all times.

We look forward to welcoming you to the new Titlesit & Cobra National Fitting Centre.
