Golf Simulator Club Fitting & Loft/Lie Optimizer

Input your swing data and simulator readings to determine optimal loft, lie angle, shaft length, and flex for each club to maximize distance and accuracy.

‍

Ideal for custom fitting using simulator data.

‍

We ask for club type, current loft, current lie, launch angle, spin rate, carry distance, and ball flight shape because these help optimize fitting parameters. These inputs maximize distance and accuracy. Limitation: the tool uses general fitting guidelines and may not replace professional dynamic fitting; results depend on consistent swing and simulator accuracy.

Golf Club Fitting Recommendations

Based on your selected inputs for a 5-iron, here are the optimal specifications along with explanations on how each change affects your performance.

1. Optimal Specifications

• Loft: 23°
• Lie: Standard (1° upright)
• Length: 37.5 inches
• Flex: Regular

Explanation of Each Specification:

• Loft (23°):
  Increasing loft can generate a higher launch angle, which can help with achieving the desired height for a high fade. A loft of 23° will help maintain good distance while giving you a bit more control over the trajectory.
• Lie (Standard, 1° upright):
  A slightly upright lie angle will help align the clubface squarely at impact, critical for hitting a high fade. This setup also improves accuracy and minimizes the risk of hitting the ball left.
• Length (37.5 inches):
  A standard length is appropriate for average height golfers. If you’re shorter, you might consider a shorter shaft to help with control, while taller players could benefit from a longer shaft. A 37.5-inch shaft provides good leverage and control for a high fade.
• Flex (Regular):
  Regular flex allows for a balance of distance and accuracy, helping you generate the right amount of speed while maintaining control over your shots. This is especially important for achieving the high fade trajectory you're looking for.

2. Effects on Launch, Spin, and Dispersion

• Launch Angle:
  Increasing the loft will raise the launch angle, which is essential for achieving your desired high fade. The right lie angle also contributes to a straighter launch.
• Spin:
  A higher loft generally increases spin rates, which is beneficial for stopping the ball quickly on the green. However, too much loft can lead to excessive spin, making it harder to control distance.
• Dispersion:
  The correct lie and shaft length help ensure that the clubface meets the ball squarely, minimizing left-to-right dispersion. This is particularly crucial for your goal of hitting a high fade consistently.

3. Alternative Recommendations

1. Alternative 1:
   • Loft: 24°
   • Lie: Standard (1° flat)
   • Length: 37 inches
   • Flex: Stiff
     This setup offers even more height in your shots while maintaining control, at the cost of a bit of distance.
2. Alternative 2:
   • Loft: 22°
   • Lie: Standard
   • Length: 38 inches
   • Flex: Senior
     This configuration provides a slightly lower launch and less spin, beneficial for players who prioritize distance over trajectory.
