I honestly believe club fitting should be very early on in the process. Once the golfer has an understanding of what they’re trying to accomplish, they should be fit. Once properly fit to what they do naturally, the instruction of how to become more consistent can begin. I’ve seen too many novice golfers give up because they’re practicing with the incorrect equipment. The more you struggle, the more help from fitting you require.
