However, Speakers and Times are subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control. We make no warranties or guarantees that all or any speaker or speakers will appear as listed..
Additional Certification Programs Available
The following courses will be applied to the AGCP Master Fitting Certification Program when the program is put into place. These certifications will be required to achieve the rank of AGCP “Master Fitter”.
Due to the fantastic acceptance of True Length Technology TM by some of the Best Clubfitter's in the World, I have decided to add a Certification School to help each of you to better understand True Length Technology TM theories and background. We will certainly go over the basics, but there are advanced techniques that will be covered extensively. There are some exciting new methods in the works that will help fine tune your efforts and allow you to build to even tighter tolerances.
Certified True Length Technology TM Fitters will have the advantage of being on a 'Recommended' Users group listing that will point out why golfers should and will seek out their services. Many of you have got referrals and business from the current 'Users Group' listing, so the 'Certified' listing will enhance your profile even more. True Length + True Lie = True Ball Flight = True Length Technology TM
Doing the best job we can as 'Certified Fitters' will continue to advance not only True Length Technology TM, but the AGCP as well.
Bonus
This year I added a 'Master Series' True Length Technology TM Build Methodology that will be covered fully. It has some advanced computer shaft profiling techniques that will turn an average set of shafts into a profile slope suitable for a 'Master Series' build (without nibbling away the tip to satisfy a butt frequency!). Feedback from the True Length Technology TM Shaft Profiling Methodology has been fantastic. Build either a stiffer or softer slope where the overall profile is 'Averaged', relying less on butt frequency numbers. The end result is a 4 or 5 stage profile that can be shown to your customer, with all stages of the shaft graphed and plotted with relative ease. A permanent record will be in your possession for future reference. A 'Master Series' build is a premium level build that is only available as a 'Certified True Length Technology TM Fitter'. Take advantage of this AGCP offer.
If you are a current True Length Technology TM Registered User - $109
If you are wanting to become a Registered True Length Technology TM User - you will receive all my charts, build methodology and become Certified for $309
