In closing, let me review my recommendations and the reasons for them:
- Begin by finding the length, shaft, and clubhead that the golfer hits consistently, at high ball speed, in a consistent place on the clubface. Use a loft within 2-3º of what the golfer needs, but don't worry too much about loft now -- just consistency, ball speed, and comfort. This is the step where you have to be good at the clubfitting art, and it is necessary to get this right if the rest is to follow.
- Now vary the loft, using these components, to give the maximum distance for the golfer.
- You are now within 10 yards -- 15 at the most -- of what is "on the table" for that golfer's swing. You might be able to get a small fraction of this distance using a launch monitor and different shafts. Bigger improvement can be made if you can get the golfer to hit the ball consistently high-center on the clubface.
