CLUB FITTING CERTIFICATION

A NEW DIMENSION IN PRECISION CLUB FITTING

Core Balance Free Release® Certified Fitting

Golf equipment manufacturers and professional club fitters can become certified to fit golf clubs according to the individual biomechanics of the golfer.

Certification includes:

Lie Angle fitted to the golfer's personalised biomechanics and Core Balance Free Release® movement principles
Offset — a Drollinger Method surprise.
Shaft characteristics matched to the golfer's individual swing tempo
Grip selection adapted to the individual anatomy of the hands
Set-up and address position designed for highly reliable and repeatable positioning
Precision fitting based on the golfer's individual movement profile rather than a generic fitting standard

MORE PRECISION. MORE VALUE. MORE BUSINESS.

The "Core Balance Free Release® Fitted" certification mark communicates a clear message to the golfer: This equipment has been fitted to me — not simply selected for me. For certified manufacturers and club fitters, this creates higher precision, higher customer value, clear differentiation and additional business potential.

THE CERTIFICATION MARK

CORE BALANCE FREE RELEASE® FITTED

The Core Balance Free Release® Fitted mark identifies equipment that has been fitted according to the individual biomechanics and movement principles of the golfer — not a generic standard. It serves as a visible quality signal: a commitment to precision, individuality and performance.

Think intelligently. Fit intelligently. Perform intelligently.
