In this article, we focus on the fitting experience of Jake Morrow, GOLF’s Content Manager for Gear and New Equipment.

About Jake Morrow’s Game

Jake has achieved a scratch handicap for the first time and is actively seeking ways to improve further. His golfing season kicks off with the Battle at the Beach tournament, a competitive event he takes very seriously. His primary goal for the upcoming season? To consistently hit greens and create more stress-free birdie opportunities.

Previous Gear Setup

Before the highly personalized fittings, Jake’s existing bag setup served him well. His arsenal included the Wilson Staff Model X ball, a Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond Tour Draw driver, and a range of high-quality woods, hybrids, irons, and putters. His previous club selection consisted of reliable brands like Callaway, Wilson, and Ping, all known for their performance effectiveness. However, Jake felt that it was time for an upgrade to better hone his skills.

During his intensive fitting journey, Jake adopted a new mindset that focused on flexibility and open-mindedness. By minimizing his ego and remaining receptive to suggestions from fitters, he created a more enjoyable fitting experience while discovering unexpected club combinations that enhanced his performance. One of the standout lessons was the realization that many high-quality clubs could work for his game—provided he approached the tests with creativity and a willingness to experiment.

The Importance of a Reliable Fairway Wood

The performance improvements, thanks to tailored fitting and the right specifications, have renewed his excitement in utilizing this club during critical moments on the course.

Choosing the Right Golf Ball
