Keeping all of the elements discussed to this point firmly in mind, only a few select details remain to be discussed before one can begin a clubfitting session that is truly worthy of what one’s golf swing deserves no matter what talent level one’s swing is currently at. Of paramount importance, know that this primary testing deals in
Having discussed one’s wearing apparel and a means of securing precise amounts of clubhead weighting required for convenient application once swinging begins, I will now briefly address the subject of
As I continue, I wish to clarify the meanings of some distinct expressions as used within Waggle Weight Wisdom™. As stated in the very first entry of this column, the second most important task to engage in toward becoming a complete golfer (after rationally learning how to swing [and becoming confident in that swing, for success at subsequent tasks will be limited without such confidence]) is
For anyone getting a notable difference in any golf club specification values for golf glove on and off circumstances when clubfitting, another aspect of distinction is that this can open up a whole new can of worms so to speak. One might have to
With appropriate golf grips installed on each of the constructed test clubs and well dried, there are a couple of cleanup details to attend to in further preparation for testing. While sometimes easily visible and sometimes not depending upon exactly how the grips were installed,

Clubhead soles that are
Particularly if you are a serious clubfitter (even if fitting yourself), you owe it to yourself to at least browse through the Rules of Golf that pertain to equipment, because there are certain regulations pertaining to golf grips and a grip can be made non-conforming or illegal for play if for instance one decides to add build-up tape to the shaft in a certain manner before grip installation. As can be seen by the listed grip sizes at the start of my immediately previous entry, successive golf grip sizes up to the present have generally been made in increments technically labeled as
Those less experienced in particular may not be aware that at one time there were at least five different sizes of (men’s) Victory golf grips available, which were
