Custom club-fitting with Mizuno swing DNA and FlightScope X3

Technology, the club fitter’s qualifications, and the golfer’s preferences are essential to a successful custom club fitting, and the data captured from the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer 3D and the FlightScope X3 launch monitor are second to none. 

However, the human element is a major factor since a golfer needs to enjoy and trust their equipment. When the golfer’s needs and preferences are combined with the data, a qualified club fitter can identify the best fit. Therefore, a good custom club fitting starts with an in-depth interview followed by using advanced technology to identify performance gains.

Manufacturers Words

Mizuno Shaft Optimizer 3D:

Among the 40 Shaft Optimizer measurements, eight critical elements are used to identify a player’s shaft shortlist and lie angle. 1) Clubhead speed 2) Tempo 3) Toe Down 4) Kick Angle 5) Release Factor 6) Digital Lie Angle 7) Attack Angle and 8) Shaft Lean. Three swings are enough to build the Swing DNA profile. Players are always surprised by how consistent their Swing DNA numbers are across all three swings.

FlightScope X3 launch monitor:

The FlightScope X3 is a launch monitor and simulator that uses patented FlightScope Fusion Tracking technology to provide golfers, instructors, and club fitters with accurate golf performance data. Fusion Tracking technology is an innovative combination of 3D Doppler tracking radar technology and synchronized high-speed image processing that helps provide users with the most accurate and consistent data for every shot – indoors and outdoors. The ball parameters are ball speed, carry distance, roll distance, total distance, smash factor, spin rate, spin axis, launch angle, launch direction, vertical descent, lateral landing, apex height, flight time, curve, shot type, shot dispersion, strike location, skills distance to pin, and skills score. The club parameters are club head speed, club path, face-to-path, face-to-target, angle of attack, spin loft, dynamic loft, vertical swing plane, horizontal swing plane, club speed profile, club acceleration profile, and low point.

Experiences

The numbers from a golf launch monitor can be overwhelming, but an experienced club fitter can identify the most significant numbers that need improvement. Based on the data, the fitter will recommend a club or a swing change, and performance improvements are identified with the launch monitor data. FlightScope X3 provides accurate data through Fusion Tracking [radar and video]. Furthermore, significant environmental factors can be adjusted to enhance data authenticity; therefore, Hensey Sports prefers it to other Launch Monitors. 

Club fitting can be daunting or time-consuming because many golf shafts are available for testing. Thus, the Mizuno Shaft Optimized 3D is necessary since it filters shafts based on swing DNA, which means the golfer spends more time testing shafts matching their swing type. A launch monitor can measure club and ball data, but the golf shaft’s internal forces can only be measured with Mizuno’s Shaft Optimizer.

Inference

Buying new golf clubs is an investment, so finding the best fit is vital to your satisfaction. Custom club fitting technology has improved the golf club buying process because performance is measured, and shaft filtering saves time. The cost of a fitting can range from $50 to $100, but the trial-and-error method of buying can be expensive or mean less enjoyment of playing golf. FlightScope X3 and Mizuno’s Shaft Optimizer 3D improves the club fitting experience because they provide data that enhances purchase decision-making and reduces time.
