New Launch Computer
Fitting Clubs and Systems
Just Arrived

At CGC, we specialize in OUTDOOR custom clubfitting with the unique opportunity to see ball flight on the range while testing and comparing the latest in irons, drivers, woods, hybrids and wedges from 14 top brands.

We also feature multiple advanced fitting systems to provide you the maximum number of options to find the clubs that you'll hit farther, straighter and more consistently.

NEW ARRIVALS in our fitting trailer:

FLIGHTSCOPE COMPUTER We've upgraded our computerized ball tracking with a FlightScope, which directly measures the true 3D track of the club and the ball, including the launch conditions and ball spin at accuracies never before achieved. More than a launch monitor, FlightScope also tracks the ball during its flight to provide unsurpassed data about the launch and resultant ball trajectory.

TITLEIST New fitting system, which provides extensive interchangeable combinations of shafts and their four new iron heads: AP1, AP2, Z Blend and Z Muscle.

CALLAWAY Nine Hyper X Driver models and Big Bertha 08 Irons added to Opti-Fit System. (Interchangeable system also features 15 FT-5 Driver clubheads and 23 iron clubheads to go with 27 shaft options.)

ADAMS Boxer hybrids - uniquely different looking, high performance

Make an appointment for your on-the-driving-range custom fitting session so that you can find the right combination for your swing. You'll get to work with a certified professional clubfitter, see ball flight and get computerized analysis with our FlightScope.

QUICK LESSON TIP:
Losing Distance?
Check Your Posture

The great Ben Hogan once said: "If you don't have a good grip and set-up, you will never have a good swing."

This week let's focus on a very important part of your set-up that might be causing you to lose distance: Posture. Your grandmother may have always told you "stand up straight" - and she wasn't far off. Your spine angle makes a difference when you try to make a good turn in your backswing.

Many players have a tendency to get "hunched over" when addressing the ball, which makes it very difficult to turn properly. So, they compensate for this inability to turn by swinging with their arms. This results in a major distance loss.

Take advantage of the mirrors at CGC to check your posture and set-up BEFORE you hit any practice balls. There is a mirror on the backside of each ball machine building.

Some checkpoints that should help you feel "taller" when in good athletic position posture:

1. Stand up straight, shoulders back
2. Feel yourself tilting from your hips (not hunching your shoulders)
3. Knees slightly flexed, arms hang down naturally from this position
4. Keep spine angle consistent throughout swing

Of course, everyone will stand as it is comfortable for them or as their body flexibility restrictions allow. If you have questions about your set-up, it's always a good idea to consult with an instructor to make sure you're on the right track and not changing your posture in a way that might result in injury.
