Ping Custom Fitting: How It Works and Why It Improves Your Game


Ping Custom Fitting: Improves Your Game

Every golfer understands the value of using golf clubs that match their unique swing. Ping custom fitting is one of the most advanced services in the industry, aimed at fine-tuning every component of your clubs--from shaft to lie angle--to maximise performance. At Golf Gear Direct, we're proud to offer full PING fitting services to help every golfer reach their potential.

Why Custom Fitting Matters

No two swings are the same, which is why off-the-shelf clubs rarely offer peak performance. Ping's club fitting process analyses your swing mechanics, ball flight, posture, and launch data to personalise every club in your bag. The results? Straighter shots, improved distance, tighter dispersion, and better feel.

Static and Dynamic Fitting Techniques

Ping's system combines static measurements--like your height and wrist-to-floor distance--with dynamic testing of your swing to determine the best combination of shaft, lie, loft, and grip. Each element contributes to:

  • Optimised launch angle and spin rate
  • Improved turf interaction
  • Consistent ball striking
  • Greater distance and control

Shaft Fitting: Steel vs Graphite and Flex Options

During your Ping custom fitting, your ideal shaft type will be identified based on your swing speed and tempo. Options include:

  • Steel shafts: Traditional feel with control and consistency
  • Graphite shafts: Lighter weight, better for slower swing speeds and added distance

Flex options include Soft Regular, Regular, Stiff, X-Stiff, Senior, and Ladies. A well-matched shaft enhances launch, trajectory, and feel.

Shaft Length: Precision in Posture

Getting the correct shaft length is vital. Determined by height and wrist-to-floor measurement, the ideal length helps improve posture, accuracy, and strike quality--reducing toe and heel hits for better control and more confidence.

Lie Angle: The PING Colour Code System

Ping's unique Colour Code Chart simplifies lie angle adjustment:

  • Black Dot: Standard lie
  • Blue Dot: 1 degrees upright
  • Green Dot: 2 degrees upright
  • Red Dot: 1 degrees flat
  • Orange Dot: 2 degrees flat

Lie angle fine-tuning allows the clubhead to sit flush at impact, promoting straighter shots and consistent direction control.

Grip Size and Comfort

Your grip is your only contact with the club. PING offers various sizes based on your hand measurements (wrist-to-middle-finger distance):

  • Aqua: +1/64"
  • White: Standard
  • Gold: +1/32"
  • Orange: +1/16"
  • Green: +1/8"

Choosing the right grip size reduces hand tension, encourages a proper grip, and improves consistency.

Loft Adjustments for Better Distance Gapping

Proper loft fitting allows for consistent distance between clubs and ideal launch angles. Adjustable lofts on drivers and woods help tailor trajectory to your game. For irons, precise loft gaps mean more consistent carry distances.

Choosing the Right Ping Club Model

Based on your data, your fitter will help select the best club head design from Ping's top ranges:

  • Ping G430 Irons: Maximum forgiveness and distance
  • Ping G440 Irons: Next-generation technology and control
  • Ping i230 Irons: Precision-focused, Tour-level workability
  • Blueprint Series: Muscle back blades for elite shot-makers

Each head type offers a different balance of workability, forgiveness, and feedback.

The Ping Fitting Experience

With advanced fitting tools and expert guidance, a Ping fitting session includes:

  • High-speed video or radar analysis
  • Launch monitor data capture
  • Real-time equipment adjustments
  • Full set recommendations

The result is a set of clubs matched precisely to how you swing--not how someone else does. That means better results with every club.

What You Gain from Ping Custom Fitting

Ping's fitting process isn't just for professionals--it's for any golfer who wants to:

  • Hit more fairways and greens
  • Increase carry distance and control
  • Improve dispersion and shot consistency
  • Gain confidence in every swing

When your clubs match your body and your swing, the game becomes more enjoyable--and more rewarding.
