Welcome to Bogi Golf
Fitting Centre Poland

I have recently been greatly inspired by training in so-called performance club fitting - which I would loosely translate as golf club optimisation. Why optimisation is not the same as fitting, you could probably ask. I'm not talking about some grand elaboration on meaning and linguistic issues. I don't even mean what I wrote a paragraph above - that today 'fitting' often means a great deal or a very little - it depends who uses the term to advertise their services and for what purpose.

It is about something much more advanced. My experiences over the past few years, topped off with the expertise imparted during the aforementioned training course, have led me to reinforce my conviction that, in fact, the brand or model of pole we use is of secondary importance. It sounds a bit like heresy - so what matters most? In my opinion, the golf industry as a whole has flattened out a lot in recent years when it comes to equipment and technology issues. The models of clubs in the same segment from different manufacturers have almost the same performance - the fact that in tests the first driver from the tenth differs IN AVERAGE by 3m (in words: three metres) probably speaks for itself! And not in robot tests - but in tests on thousands of strokes made by real golfers of different abilities. (For the inquisitive - I am referring to the Most Wanted Driver 2019 test on MyGolfSpy).

So, since the performance of the various heads is only minimally different, well-fitted and optimised (this will be the key word for 2021) equipment becomes much more important. This is where the role and importance of professional service and the expertise of experienced professionals (rather than just feeding shafts in the hope that something will work) comes into play. I will be writing about optimisation itself later this year. However, what is worth remembering and relating to your expectations is, above all, the fact that in order to optimise something - you have to measure it. But measure not the effects - but the causes of your performance. The simplest example is distance, which many novice and inexperienced specialists exalt without asking what the differences in performance in their client, with whom they are currently working on improving the driver's game, are due to. And they result, with today's heavily blurred technological differences, from several(a dozen) factors which only when put together in one club give an OPTIMAL result (not to mention a whole litany - even the weight and length of the shaft on the hardware side / the initial ball speed on the side of the measurable parameters - matter for the final result which is the distance of impact). So measuring the causes and drawing the right conclusions - and not looking at the effects alone - is the basis of optimisation and the basis of a professional fitter's work.
