Golf enthusiasts, gather around! Have you ever wondered if your golf clubs and equipment truly match your playing style? Well, the team at GOLF has just rolled out an impressive new initiative called ‘Fully Fit 2026’. This comprehensive program aims to help all golfers discover which gear suits their game the best, and it’s all based on real experiences from varied skill levels.
An Adventure of Fittings Across Major Brands
The ‘Fully Fit 2026’ journey spanned over nine fun-filled days in locations known for their golfing prowess. Six talented content creators from GOLF gathered to undergo full bag fittings at six of the industry’s most respected club manufacturers. These panelists, with skill levels ranging from top-notch players to enthusiastic amateurs, participated in a quest to showcase the most suitable clubs as we head into 2026.
Who Were the Panelists?
This diverse group included a mix of golf aficionados: Johnny Wunder, the director; Jake Morrow, the content manager; Jack Hirsh, the associate editor; Sean Zak, Maddi MacClurg, and Wadeh Maroun, the president of Fairway Jockey. These folks were selected not just for their technical skills, but also for the unique perspectives they bring to the golfing community.
Kicking Off at Ping’s Proving Grounds
The adventure started at Ping’s Proving Grounds, where panelists first got their hands on the new Ping G440 K driver and S259 wedges. Imagine standing there, ready to test out the latest gear that could arguably transform your game. This wasn’t just a fitting; it was about finding the perfect match!
Exploring TaylorMade’s Kingdom
Next up was a visit to TaylorMade’s fitting facility, aptly named TaylorMade’s Kingdom. Here, they explored a range of clubs, including the Qi4D drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and the impressive Spider putters. The innovation and technology behind these clubs are truly stunnning, giving players more tools for success.
Getting the Scoop at Titleist’s Performance Institute
A stop at Titleist’s Performance Institute was an absolute treat. Imagine a stunning 33-acre driving range! The panelists tried out Titleist clubs, focusing on the latest Vokey SM11 wedges and Scotty Cameron Phantom putters. This experience provided them with detailed insights into how certain clubs could enhance their play.
Cobra and Callaway: A Fitting Representation
The fun continued at Cobra’s facility, featuring the OPTM metalwoods and the innovative 3DP iron lineup. To wrap things up, they made their way to Callaway’s Ely Callaway Performance Center, where they assessed the newest Quantum drivers and Chrome Tour golf balls for performance and speed.
A Grand Finale with Cleveland/Srixon
The final fitting session was just as impressive, with Cleveland/Srixon’s popular ZXi line of irons and RTZ wedges on the agenda. It was filled with learning, excitement, and of course, a little bit of friendly competition between the panelists.
Reflecting on Strengths and Insights
Throughout this experience, these panelists didn’t just get fitted for clubs; they gained valuable knowledge about their swings, games, and how different clubs fit their personal capabilities. The overarching goal of this initiative was to help golfers visualize how selecting the right equipment could significantly enhance their performance as they gear up for 2026.
