SUN CITY CENTER, Fla. -- Ben Sutton Golf School—for 40 years the only golf destination in the U.S. that offers learning under real playing conditions — announced any golfer, not just Ben Sutton attendees, can now get fitted for the perfect clubs using the new Callaway Optifit Driver Fitting system, new to the golf industry. The system offers 696 different combinations, and Ben Sutton’s Sun City location is the only place in Hillsborough County, Florida where every golfer can get fitted with it in an outdoor setting.
Using the system outside lets golfers get immediate feedback. “If you’re going to invest in a driver, you want to see it in action, in the air,” said Jan Kleiman, Ben Sutton Golf School professional instructor. Combining the system with direct input from the golfer—their current ball flight, their main goal, distance or control, etc.—delivers an extraordinary degree of accuracy in determining the best fit.
The systems includes fifteen FT-5 Driver clubheads, six Big Bertha 460 Driver clubheads and three X460 Driver clubheads to go along with 29 shaft options from the most-respected and most sought-after shaft manufacturers in the marketplace, including Aldila®, Fujikura®, Graphite Design™, Grafalloy®, UST® and Mitsubishi Rayon. That yields 696 total driver configurations to choose from in drivers. Each shaft may be interchanged with any club head so you will have no doubt as to how a particular shaft and head will perform for your unique swing.
The new system used outdoors offers direct observation for choosing a driver. Golfers can test the ball flight by feel and by visually tracking where it’s going. Instead of offering someone a choice of 3 shaft models—none of which might be just right for that golfer—now each person has multiple choices, all different models of shafts, clubheads, and lofts. The golfer can see the difference in how the ball behaves—each combination can result in a slightly different result.
Along with getting the right fit with the new system, any golfer at any level can request private one-on-one time with any of the school’s PGA/LPGA professional instructors to put that equipment to best use immediately.
Any one who wishes to study privately with one of the Ben Sutton professionals can do so simply by calling to request private lessons. “Being the first to offer this advanced system fits perfectly with our philosophy,” said Dick Sutton, president of Ben Sutton Golf School. “Our mission is to offer golfers the best equipment and the best instruction, delivered in real conditions and in real situations. Optifit is a groundbreaking system. And what could be more real than choosing your clubs out on the course where you have to use them? The combination gives golfers the real advantage of knowing they have the best-fit clubs.”
Students can request an Optifit appointment and/or schedule private one-on-one time with a Ben Sutton Golf School professional by calling 800.225.6923. Students may request times at the Sun City Center, FL golf school virtually all year by telephone or by registering ahead of time when enrolling in a regular program. Reserving ahead is strongly recommended. More information about private lessons is available at http://www.golfschool.com/schools_private.html.
