With properly fitted and properly assembled golf clubs any golfer can...
- Add distance to your tee shots!
- Hit more fairways!
- Hit More Greens in regulation!
- Sink more short putts!
- Have less 3 putt greens!
- Cut strokes off your scores!
- And most importantly, You can Enjoy Playing Golf more.
- Why?
Because if you are a high handicapper, you are not in the woods all the time and your second shots are in the fairway more too and your approach shots are closer to the green when you miss.
If you are a low handicapper or a professional you will hit more solid shots in the center of the club face, and you will hit them closer to the hole because of more consistent yardage from shot to shot!

Call an AGCP fitter!
For the best set of Golf Clubs you have ever owned...
Fitting golf clubs is one of the most important things any golfer can do if they want to improve their golf game. Even if you plan on taking lessons you are better off to have clubs that are fitted to your swing so you do not have to compensate for the equipment as you learn the proper swing mechanics.
When a golfer is looking for a new set of golf clubs, or simply trying to make their existing set fit their swing better, or looking for the right shafts, the AGCP clubmaker can be a valuable asset. Although golf club shafts are not everything they are a very important ingredient in building a set of custom fit golf clubs. Regardless of the golfers selection of component golf clubs to custom build or retro fitting OEM golf clubs to their swing, the AGCP fitter will know all of the right things to do to help any golfer play better.
Simply Put... Being fit by an AGCP clubfitter is the best fit you can get! AGCP clubfitters are the best in the world. See our locator page Do not be fooled by the size of their store! Do not think that because they cannot give lessons and play like tour players they can’t fit clubs.
How Do you know how good AGCP custom clubfitters and custom clubmakers are?
Look on the locator page in your area, notice the AGCP member’s Qualification Level. Each member is tested on their knowledge, ability and experience in fitting and building. They are required to pass a written test along with their practical experience, the number of special schools they have attended and the equipment in their shop to obtain their Qualification Rating. The requirements are all listed on the Qualifications Page and these requirements are used to determine their Qualification Level. The clubmakers who have taken the test have their Qualification Level listed beside their name. You might want to note the list of tools and equipment found in their shop before you call. All of this is designed to help you determine who is best qualified to work with you on a new set of clubs. Even our Level 1 members have more knowledge than many of the experts in big stores.Remember the experts in the big stores are “salesmen” not professional clubitters and clubmakers. The difference could be compared to a local mechanic at a local car dealership and the engineers that work on NASCAR race cars.
Why buy any clubs off the shelf? They are not fit, they are all one size fits all. More and more touring Professionals are telling you to get fit for clubs.
What fit? Not just any fit. Look on our locator pages and call an AGCP fitter. We are the best in the world, bar none.
Virtually all of our fitters are also PCS members and many of them are PCS Certified and some are PCS International Clubmakers of the Year.
Many of our fitters are also GCA members and some are GCA Clubmakers of the Year.
Some are both! Some are more!
The AGCP is set apart from these important organizations because we are the Professionals and we are the best of the best. We operate businesses and many have fine retail shops. We are not the hobbyist clubmakers, we are the Professionals and we are the best. Some of our members have shops constructed at home that rival some of the best facilities anywhere as far as equipment and the AGCP member is as well trained as any fitter anywhere, and better than most!
Our fitters have attended schools at the PCS, at Golfsmith, at Golfworks, at Dynacraft, at Mitchell. Some are PGA members or former PGA members and some have attended USGTF schools and have been certified to teach the golf swing as professional teachers. Some have attended and been Certified by PGTAA as teaching Professionals.
What about my local PGA Pro, you may be thinking. After all he is a PGA member. - Yes, PGA members are very good at swing faults, but by and large most of them still teach the golf swing around the equipment rather than adjust the equipment to the golf swing and then fine tune the swing. AGCP members fit the equipment to your golf swing so that you can take advantage of all of your God given natural ability and athleticism, or to help make up for your lack of it. Rather than try and turn you into a Golf Professional with a picture perfect Golf
Professional swing that you might need to hit those new clubs sitting on the shelf in the Pro Shop, the AGCP fitter builds a set of clubs to compensate for your lack of a Professional swing. The AGCP fitter is aware of heads and shafts and how to configure them to enhance your natural ability and/or compensate for the abilities you do not have. You do not have to adjust your swing to the clubs with an AGCP fitter, he will adjust your clubs to you!
What about the fitter at the local golf store? Isn’t he trained and doesn’t he have the equipment to do it right? No, he is not trained and maybe on the equipment. Just because the Big Box Store has millions of dollars worth of the finest name brands advertised doesn’t mean the fitter is trained or knows anything other than how to talk about what the Golf Equipment Reps tell him or write up a sales ticket. Most of the sales people are trained to fit you and get your money in about 20 minutes. The big box stores figure that if a sale takes longer than 20 minutes or so they will spend too much time with a customer and will not have the sell through required to maximize profits. The sales people may not even realize the training they received was for this purpose and may actually believe they are doing all that can be done. Believe me they are not in 99% of the cases.
Our members have been through more training and more classes then any of these sales people and far more than the vast majority of the PGA Professionals. Even the PGA Professionals on tour are not aware of all the engineering details and the dynamics of properly fitting a golfer fo the best clubs. They are typically fit, most of the time, by Factory Reps who bring a bag full of clubs to the range and let them hit until they find the one they like the most. - This simply is not fitting!
Take a look at the Typical Fitting page for an idea of what an AGCP fitting is. An AGCP fitting consists of measuring your present equipment, measuring your golf swing, an extensive interview to learn all about how you hit the ball now, how you miss the ball now, what clubs you hit good and what clubs you hit bad. We also want to know about the golf course you play on and how it is constructed so we know what clubs you need and what clubs you do not need
