Golf Digest reported in their March 1999 issue, six ways to tell if you are getting a perfect fit, the following is excerpts from this story:

Before getting fit for new clubs, here are a few questions to ask to ensure that the clubfitter you've selected is qualified:

1. Are they accredited with the Golf Clubmakers' Association (GCA) or the Professional Clubmakers Society (PCS)? If they've passed an accreditation test by either, you're in good hands;
2. What Clubmaking schools have they attended? The following have a very solid clubfitting curriculum: Dynacraft Complete Fitting School, Golfworks Advanced Fitting School, Golfsmith Advanced Clubmaking Program. If the clubmakers attended any other schools, they may be good at assembly but not as good at fitting;
3. How many fittings have they done? If more than 100, they should be proficient. If less than 20 but accredited and a graduate of a fitting school, they are probably a little green but know what they are doing;
4. Ask for names of their customers. Nothing like hearing from someone who's been there.
5. What do their facilities look like? If there is a fair amount of equipment (such as loft and lie machines and frequency analyzers), then the clubmaker is serious and this will likely translate into a quality fitting and quality clubs.
6. Does the clubfitter emphasize custom-fitted clubs or "look-a-like" clubs? Anyone who places emphasis on "look-a-likes" is not as devoted to quality clubfitting as someone who educates you about choosing the right club specification for your particular game.

 

Here's what people are saying about Paul Larson and High Plains Clubmakers:
 

"I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you. As I told you when we met, I am, and have been, a decent bogey golfer for a few years now but things just stay that way. However, since I had my clubs fitted by you things have improved dramatically, with my best score being a 78 just yesterday. I have been hitting my irons consistently everytime and am very happy at how much more confident I am in all aspects of my game. I know what a crazy game golf can be, but for now, just by altering my equipment you have made my game much more enjoyable."

- Ryan I.

"I'd like to express my appreciation for the great product and service you provided in fitting me with custom clubs. The results of playing with custom fitted clubs has been more than I expected. Not only has my golf game improved since changing to custom fitted clubs but the experience has added so much enjoyment to every game of golf - that I now look forward to every game."
