THE TOUR FITTING EXPERIENCE
Have you ever wondered what it is like to get fit for clubs on the PGA Tour? PGA Tour vans have everything they need to build a complete set of custom golf clubs to each tour pro’s exact specifications. The Tour Van now brings the same fitting experience to you, providing club fitting in Portland, OR (May-Oct), Tucson, AZ (Nov-Apr) and Nashville, TN year-round.
We developed our method by fitting players on the PGA Tour. But we use the same principles, strategies techniques for players of every level. We believe in fitting each golfer by listening to their goals, evaluating what they need, and delivering the proper fit equipment to complement each player’s body type and swing mechanics. This method is built on a foundation of insights and experience working with golfers who have won everything from Club Championships to Major Championships. Unlike many other fitting facilities, our reliance on TrackMan™ data is minimal, however we do utilize this technology for nearly every fitting experience, especially as a form of validation. Also, unlike many other fitters, we believe in fitting each player in a game-like environment, outdoors and on grass. These conditions allow an experienced, unbiased club fitting professional to examine ball flight turf and interaction.
The Tour Van offers an extensive menu of tour quality golf equipment, club repair and club fittings. Our unique fitting matrix allows independent testing of variables for all clubs throughout the bag. For example, we can test a single shaft with multiple club heads from different manufacturers or a single club head with multiple shafts. In total, The Tour Van’s fitting matrix can create over 25,000 different fitting clubs. The Tour Van builds each club from raw components using PGA Tour quality equipment to build custom golf clubs on site while incorporating the same principles, strategies and techniques used on Tour.
