Jerry Azurin Shares Wedge Fitting Process for Vietnamese Golfers: Data and Experience from Cleveland Srixon XXIO

Jerry Azurin, Product Manager of Cleveland, Srixon and XXIO, shared the detailed wedge fitting process for golfers. The process is designed to optimize performance from 80 yards and in. It starts with the fitter gathering information from the golfer about current wedge performance, specific shots needed, and desired changes. Then, launch monitor is used to measure key metrics like angle of attack, low point, consistent strike, shaft weight, flex, launch characteristics, bounce and heel relief. These help determine the exact wedge model, bounce and heel relief. Another important point is using the golfer's actual ball during fitting. Range balls can distort data due to wear differences. Ball is the ultimate scoring tool, so it must be fitted. Indoor fitting has advantages like controlled environment without wind, temperature, moisture or dirt. However, mats can be forgiving, especially for steep swingers who may not see wedge digging. Thus, fitter relies on launch monitor data. Outdoor verification is essential for real turf conditions, firm or soft, divot depth, etc. The course should match the golfer's usual playing conditions. The process is not purely data-driven but also based on fitter questions about shot types. Overall, it improves short-game scoring. However, indoor fitting may miss real-world variables, making outdoor testing crucial.
