Most golfers get fit based on how the ball flies.
At Avoda, we flipped that.
We fit to your swing — how you’re built to move — and build clubs that let your good swings produce good shots. No more compensations. No more bad habits just to make contact.
This isn’t just about performance. It’s about longevity, consistency, and helping you actually enjoy the game.
Step 1: Start With Neutral—Then Move Both Ways
Every fitting starts with our neutral benchmark: 37” shaft, 62° lie angle. From there, we test both ends of the spectrum—flatter and more upright—to learn how your body responds.
Why? Because your best fit removes the need for compensations & manipulations in your swing.
By pushing you to both extremes, we learn how your body wants to swing. We’re not guessing. We’re watching, listening, and letting your swing tell us the answer.
Step 2: Swing Type Over Ball Flight
Forget chasing ball flight. We watch your swing—from down the line and face-on—to classify it as steep, shallow, or neutral. This dictates everything:
- Steeper = likely needs a more upright lie
- Shallower = may need flatter
- Taller or shorter players = length adjustments, but always in sync with swing type
We’re not just chasing perfect shots, We’re chasing better swings. Swings that don’t require weird manipulations to find the center of the face.
Step 3: One Variable at a Time
Every test—lie, length, shaft, grip—is isolated.
We never test two variables at once. Why? Because we want clarity. Your body knows what feels right when we change one thing at a time.
And we always test both directions, not just “what we think should work.” If we think you need to go more upright, we start by going flatter—just to be sure.
Step 4: Shaft Profile, Not Just Flex or Weight
Your shaft isn’t just about “X-stiff” or “90g.”
It’s about where it bends and how that matches your tempo and swing type.
- Steep + fast? You’ll need a stiffer tip, lower torque
- Shallow + slower? You’ll need more time to square the face —softer profile, higher torque
If your profile is off, you’ll have to change your swing to make the club work. That’s backwards. We give you a club that fits your swing—not one you have to work around.
Step 5: Grip Size—The Silent Killer
Grip size changes wrist angles, face control, and even swing path. Too small? You shut the face early. Too big? You fight rotation.
Most players use the wrong size. We fit by matching grip surface area to your hand size. Simple.
Step 6: Combo Length vs. Same Length
Our standard set uses a combo-length design: longer shafts in the lower-lofted irons to help with launch and carry, and same-length scoring irons for consistency, control, and tighter dispersion where it matters most.
We always test both setups during a fitting. Same-length irons offer major benefits in the scoring clubs—every golfer should have some element of it in their bag. It simplifies setup, improves strike repeatability, and helps players hit their numbers more consistently.
For beginners especially, extending same-length throughout more of the set can make the swing easier to repeat and speed up development. However, some players—particularly those with lower swing speeds—may struggle to generate enough launch and spin with lower-lofted irons if they’re the same length as short irons. That’s where combo-length becomes the ideal solution: same-length where it helps most, and longer shafts where more speed and lift are needed.
What It All Means:
This isn’t just a better fit—it’s a better swing.
Most golfers use clubs that force them into compensations—swinging over the top, hanging back, flipping the hands—just to make contact. Over time, those compensations become habits, and those habits limit your game.
At Avoda, we build clubs that eliminate those compensations. Here’s what that unlocks:
- Consistent center strikes – because you’re not fighting the club anymore.
- Simpler, repeatable mechanics – the club matches your body, so your swing can flow naturally.
- More speed without more effort – when you stop hitting the brakes mid-swing to make manipulate the club, your club head speed increases.
- Instant feedback – good swings produce good shots, bad swings produce bad shots. That’s how you improve.
- Long-term improvement – because every rep reinforces your best movement, not your worst compensation.
Bottom line: When your clubs are built for how you’re designed to move, golf gets less stressful and a hell of a lot more fun.
