Rayleigh Fitting Studio | Golf Club Fitting in Rayleigh
Our Rayleigh custom golf club fitting studio is our flagship facility, equipped with a GC2 launch monitor that captures data at a level of precision that means our fitters can see exactly what your clubhead is doing at the moment of impact — no guesswork, just data.
GC2 Launch Monitor Technology
The GC2 launch monitor captures ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate at 30,000 frames per second, giving you objective data rather than opinion. Head measurement technology records exactly what your clubhead is doing at impact, removing all subjectivity from the fitting process.
What to Expect at Your Rayleigh Fitting
- Arrive a little early to hit a few balls on the range and warm up.
- Bring your current clubs — they are used first to establish a performance baseline.
- Face tape and sole tape are used alongside GC2 data to identify exactly where contact is being made and how your shaft, loft, and lie are performing.
- In warmer months the studio shutter opens so you are hitting out onto a live driving range. In winter a screen is used — sessions are never weather-dependent.
- You are under no obligation to buy.
We offer a price match guarantee and deduct the cost of your booking from any custom-fit club purchase made with us — making us consistently the best place to order your fitted clubs.
We are an authorised fitting partner for TaylorMade (TaylorMade fitting in Essex), Ping (Ping fitting in Essex), Titleist, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Wilson, and Yonex — giving you access to the full market across eight major manufacturers.

Why Custom Fitting Makes a Difference
Our Director, Stephen Cole — a PGA Golf Professional with 28 years' experience — explains the approach:
“There are two ways to custom fit. Static measurements give us a starting point based on your height and arm length. But to truly fit someone, you need dynamic measurements taken from your actual swing. We place tape on the face and sole of the club and have you hit balls. Those marks tell us exactly what's happening. If the face tape shows 70% of strikes are out of the toe, a slightly longer club moves that contact to the centre. If the sole tape shows the toe digging in first, the clubs are too flat and need to be made more upright.” — Stephen Cole, Director & PGA Professional (28 years)
The GC2 launch monitor removes the subjectivity entirely. Data from your actual swing drives every recommendation.
We will never switch-sell you onto something that suits us rather than your game. That is the difference between a standard retail fitting and what we do.
How Ill-Fitted Clubs Affect Your Ball Flight
Many golfers battle faults that are actually equipment problems in disguise. If you have been struggling with the same shot shape for years, the problem may not be your swing.
| Fault | Likely Equipment Cause |
|---|---|
| Slice | Grips too thick, clubs too flat, shafts too stiff |
| Hook | Grips too thin, clubs too upright, shafts too flexible |
| Hitting it fat | Shafts too long |
| Hitting it thin | Shafts too short |
Every one of these is identifiable and correctable through a proper fitting. Call us on 01268 781706 or book a session online.
Do Beginners Need Custom Fitting?
If you are between 5'7" and 6'1" with standard-length arms, a standard off-the-shelf set is a sensible starting point. A beginner's swing changes rapidly with practice, and fitting a set to ten different swings doesn't produce reliable results. Once your swing becomes consistent, that is when custom fitting delivers real, measurable improvement.
If you would like to take your own initial measurements at home, we can post out face tape and sole tape with guidance on how to use it. Just email us your name, address, and current measurements.
What Our Customers Say
“After a fitting session at Rayleigh in September, I purchased a set of Wilson irons matched to my swing. Two rounds later, I aced the 14th at The Warren Golf Course — a 182-yard par 3 with a 5-iron. I'd been playing weekly for three years and never had a hole in one. The difference was immediate.” — David C., Essex
