CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It estimates fit across four iron categories based on reported contact consistency, launch and distance needs, preferred head shape, feedback preference, and shot-making goals.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 16 questions.
How should scores and close results be interpreted?
The highest score indicates the strongest affinity among the four categories. Results within one point suggest overlap and may support a blended set across adjacent categories.
How should items be answered if performance varies by day or by club?
Select responses that reflect typical outcomes over recent rounds or practice sessions. If two options apply equally, choose the one that best matches common on-course results.
Does the result replace an in-person fitting?
No; the result is a shortlist for shopping. Shaft, lie angle, length, and clubhead should be tested and verified before purchase.
