The Golf Practice has partnered with True Spec Golf to bring professional club fitting services to golfers throughout the Chicagoland area. This collaboration combines True Spec Golf’s expertise in custom club fitting with The Golf Practice’s training facilities in Highland Park and Lisle, offering golfers access to industry-leading technology and brand-agnostic fitting services.
True Spec Golf uses Foresight GCQuad launch monitors and maintains an inventory of over 70,000 clubhead and shaft combinations. This approach ensures each fitting session is tailored to your swing characteristics rather than being limited to specific manufacturers. Whether you need a single club fitted or a complete bag analysis, master fitters work with you to identify equipment that matches your game.
The partnership allows golfers to combine instruction and club fitting in one location. After working on your swing mechanics with The Golf Practice instructors, you can immediately test different equipment configurations to see how proper clubs complement your improved technique.
Brand-Agnostic Club Fitting Approach
True Spec Golf operates without manufacturer bias. Their fitting philosophy focuses on matching golfers with the best equipment for their swing, regardless of brand. This means fitters can recommend any combination of clubheads and shafts from their extensive inventory.
The fitting process begins with baseline measurements using the Foresight GCQuad launch monitor. This quadroscopic technology tracks multiple data points throughout your swing, providing detailed information about ball flight, spin rates, and club delivery. Fitters use this data to narrow down options and test different combinations.
Most golfers find significant performance improvements through professional fitting. Small adjustments in shaft weight, flex, or clubhead design can produce measurable changes in distance, accuracy, and consistency. The brand-agnostic approach ensures these improvements come from genuine performance gains rather than marketing preferences.
Advanced Launch Monitor Technology
The Foresight GCQuad represents the most advanced launch monitor technology available for club fitting. Unlike older systems that use single cameras or radar, the GCQuad employs four high-speed cameras to capture complete swing and ball flight data.
This technology measures club path, face angle, attack angle, and impact location with precision. For ball flight, it tracks initial velocity, launch angle, spin rate, and spin axis. This comprehensive data set allows fitters to see exactly how equipment changes affect your shots.
Indoor fitting bays at both locations provide controlled environments for testing. Consistent lighting and temperature eliminate weather variables that can affect outdoor fittings. The launch monitor accurately simulates ball flight, showing how each shot would perform on an actual course.
Comprehensive Fitting Services
True Spec Golf offers fitting services for every club in your bag:
- Full bag fittings ($425-$475) include every club from driver through wedges
- Individual club fittings ($125-$175) focus on specific needs
- Combination packages ($270-$375) cover multiple club categories
- Gap analysis ($125) identifies distance gaps in your current set
- Shaft-only fittings ($125) optimize your existing clubheads
Each fitting session includes time with a master fitter who analyzes your swing and tests different options. Full bag fittings typically require two to three hours, while individual club fittings take 45 minutes to an hour. All appointments are scheduled in advance to ensure dedicated attention.
Putter fitting services are available at the Highland Park location. Short game fittings combine wedge and putter analysis to optimize your scoring clubs. These specialized sessions help golfers improve distance control and consistency around the greens.
Two Convenient Chicagoland Locations
The Golf Practice operates two facilities where True Spec Golf fitting services are available:
- Highland Park location at 1646 Old Deerfield Road features two fitting bays and offers appointments Monday through Saturday
- Lisle location at 4995 Varsity Drive provides fitting services in a 15,000 square foot facility with one dedicated fitting bay
- Both locations use identical Foresight GCQuad technology and have access to the complete inventory of clubheads and shafts
- Extended hours at both facilities accommodate various schedules including evening appointments
The Highland Park facility serves the North Shore suburbs, while the Lisle location provides convenient access for golfers west and southwest of Chicago. Both locations maintain the same fitting standards and equipment options.
Integration with Golf Instruction
The partnership between The Golf Practice and True Spec Golf creates opportunities for comprehensive game improvement. Golfers can schedule instruction sessions to refine their swing mechanics, then immediately test how equipment changes complement those improvements.
This integration matters because equipment should match your actual swing, not an idealized version. Working with instructors first establishes your natural swing characteristics. Fitters then optimize equipment for that specific motion pattern rather than trying to force you into a different swing to accommodate certain clubs.
The facilities also support ongoing equipment adjustments. As your swing develops through instruction, you can return for follow-up fittings to ensure your clubs still match your game. This long-term approach to equipment optimization helps maintain consistent performance as your skills improve.
Who Benefits from Professional Fitting
Any golfer who wants to optimize their equipment should consider professional fitting. Common indicators include inconsistent ball flight patterns, difficulty achieving desired shot shapes, or gaps in distance coverage between clubs.
Golfers who have recently improved their swing mechanics often benefit significantly from refitting. Equipment that matched an old swing pattern may no longer perform well with refined technique. Similarly, players experiencing physical changes or switching between different playing conditions may need equipment adjustments.
Beginners sometimes question whether fitting makes sense before developing a consistent swing. However, properly fitted clubs can actually speed up skill development by providing appropriate weight, length, and lie angles. This makes it easier to develop good swing habits rather than compensating for ill-fitted equipment.
