STX Official UK Fitting Partner
Designer Golf Ltd have been carefully selected as the official UK Fitting Partner for STX.
Design Golf will be stocking the new STX Envision TR & the new ProFit series from the beginning of February 2010.
Daniel Wills MD of Cozmo Sports Ltd (distributors for STX in Europe) says. “ Its great to have Designer Golf on board and we are looking forward to launching the new ProFit series with them.”
Andrew Ash MD of Designer Golf Ltd started out as a Custom Build Clubmaker a little over 12 years ago, but soon became obsessed with the short game and more importantly with the science of putting.
Realising that by using the correct measurements and component parts it was very easy to make clubs that would hit the ball longer and straighter and to arrange for players to have lessons if there was a swing defect. But it was a totally different problem helping players to score better, which, if he could achieve this, would add even more credibility to his business.
To begin with he studied the players who were recognized as being good putters, players like Max Faulkner, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and latterly Phil Mickelson and discovered that they all had a similar putting action. He then discovered that not all players see the same picture when looking at the ball, so using a laser device to ascertain accuracy in alignment, he can then makes the necessary adjustments. He is passionate about putter fitting, counterbalancing and having a square to square putting stroke.
The putter itself is also very important and needs to give good feedback to the player. Ash favours putters with rubber inserts, which stop the ball jumping off the face when the ball is “hit” rather than “stroked” and was delighted when STX reappeared in the UK, offering many really good fitting options.
