February 22, 2015 – KZG, the No1 Custom ProLine, has announced the annual “World’s Top 100 ClubFitters” for 2015. Each year KZG honours 100 professionals possessing superior skill, integrity and passion for clubfitting. This is the tenth year in a row that KZG has honoured the elite of the industry’s clubfitters, and it’s notable that 7 of them work in Spain.

“Surveys report that 9 out of 10 golfers are playing the wrong clubs. Teaching professionals are unanimous: you can’t teach around ill-fitting clubs”, states Dr. Jennifer King, President of KZG.

“If the industry is serious about growing the game, it is time to concentrate on what the golfers ‘need’ rather than what they ‘want’. Only a true professional fitter with skill and integrity takes the time to educate the golfer on what clubs they actually need and takes the time to fit them perfectly. KZG is very proud to announce the Top 100 Professional ClubFitters in the World who excel at their craft.”

The 2015 Honourees learn about the golfer’s game, goals and expectations. They are experienced in analysing launch monitor statistics, can ascertain what design features will give maximum performance for any given golfer, and are able to select the perfect clubhead and shaft combination for optimum performance. The Honourees also double check to be sure that their specifications have been followed precisely and that each club is spine aligned and frequency matched. It is through these efforts that these Professionals grow the game.

This year’s Honourees hail from 22 countries around the world, including 48 from the UK/Europe -7 from Spain-, 26 from the United States, 11 from Canada, 5 from Asia, 8 from Australia and 2 from Africa. The Honorees come from a wide variety of locations ranging from small stores serving rural areas to large performance centers with multiple fitters and instructors. All share a true passion in helping golfers to better enjoy their game.
