The Berkshire's best kept secret...

I have recently discovered that not all the members are aware of our free of charge comprehensive club fitting service. I hope you find the following information of interest.

Does The Berkshire offer enough selection?

We currently offer a full custom fit service for Callaway, Titleist, Yonex, Ping and Mizuno. All the club heads are available and we have in stock more than 300 different shaft options to use in the demo clubs.

Do we have the necessary technology?

We use the leading Flightscope launch monitor which delivers all the necessary information on distance, club head speed, launch angle and spin rates which is all vital information when selecting the correct shafts.

Do we offer value for money?

The custom fitting service is completely free of charge and our clubs cost less than American Golf Discount online.

It's a shoo-in

Many of you ask for our advice when buying something new in-store, so we thought we’d showcase our top shoes for 2018 in this week’s newsletter. Drumroll, please…

FootJoy DryJoys Tour

Follow in the footsteps of tour stars like Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson and try this FootJoy DryJoys Tour. We’re fans of its traditional look and waterproof leather uppers, plus we love the stable hitting platform its cleated outsole provides.

FootJoy ContourFIT

If you prioritise comfort, we think this FootJoy ContourFIT shoe should be at the top of list to try. Its features include an achilles pad to keep your foot secure, an extra thick insole for extreme underfoot comfort and a spacious rounded toe profile.

FootJoy Pro/SL

If you’d like to add off-course versatility to your shoe options so you can go straight from work to the course, this FootJoy Pro/SL is one popular option thanks to its lightweight comfort, smart leather uppers and durable spikeless outsole.

It's 14 clubs for a reason

This week marks the start of a series of articles where we focus on making sure that you are getting the very most out of the clubs in your bag. A key way to do this is to look at your set as one, rather than breaking it down into woods, irons and wedges.

What does your set look like?
As you know, we’re big advocates of custom fitting for golfers of all standards. Many of you have taken advantage of this and are now hitting the ball further and straighter than you ever have before.

While this is fantastic, if you’re hitting your woods further you may have been left with a fiddly gap to your longest iron; likewise, if your new irons are a club longer then you will inevitably have a gap after your PW.

Look at your clubs as a whole
It’s only by looking at your set as a whole that you’ll be able to spot and react to any gaps, meaning you’ll have a club for every shot you could face on the course.

If you’re a fan of Callaway like us, you’ll know they offer a great range of clubs to ensure you’re never stuck for options. Their Rogue driver and fairway wood offer powerful and forgiving flights, while its Rogue X hybrid comes in 18 degrees to 32 degrees so we can perfectly gap your long game.

Where are your gaps?
Callaway also offers 12 different iron models for you to try and their Mack Daddy 4 wedge comes in nine lofts between 46-64° so we can create the best set-up possible during a fitting or gapping session.

The myth that custom fitting is only for better golfers couldn't be further from the truth. Whilst the very best are looking for that extra 1%, a custom fitting for the average club golfer regularly produces results that even surprise us! Make 2018 your best golfing year yet by getting in touch via the button below.
