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:
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.
