Question 1

What is ELDRICK?

Accepted Answer

ELDRICK is a golf club fitting intelligence and fitted club shop. It looks at your swing (club speed, miss, launch and spin) and recommends the heads, shafts and specs that fit you. Built on 100,000+ fittings. Every build is checked by a fitter before it ships.

Question 2

How does ELDRICK decide which club fits me?

Accepted Answer

ELDRICK groups you with golfers who swing like you (by speed, miss and ball flight), looks at what it prescribed and picked for that group across real fittings, and grades each club A to D on how often it was the right answer. You see the grade, the share of golfers it was picked for, and which prescribed specs the club offers.

Question 3

What do I need for an ELDRICK fitting?

Accepted Answer

Five answers: the club to fit (driver, fairway wood, hybrid, irons or wedges), whether you're right- or left-handed, your swing speed with that club in mph (or your ball speed), your usual miss (fade or slice, draw or hook, straight, or both ways) and how your ball flight usually looks (too low, good or too high). Launch monitor numbers, your height and your current club are optional and make the fit sharper. The fitting is free and takes about two minutes; ELDRICK returns your specs and the clubs that match them, with prices, in about 20 to 50 seconds.

Question 4

What driver is best for a slice?

Accepted Answer

For the 3,000+ slicers it has fitted, ELDRICK prescribed a Draw Bias head 55% of the time. Its most-picked drivers for them: Callaway Quantum Max D (43%), TaylorMade Qi4D Max (41%), Ping G440 SFT (37%).

Question 5

What driver is best for slower swing speeds?

Accepted Answer

For golfers who swing 80–89 mph, ELDRICK's most-picked drivers are TaylorMade Qi4D (24%), Callaway Quantum Max Fast (23%), TaylorMade Qi4D Max Lite (22%). Under 80 mph it leans to light, high-launch heads with 12° of loft and Senior flex.

Question 6

What driver is best for high spin and fast swing speeds?

Accepted Answer

For golfers who swing 110+ mph with too much spin, ELDRICK most often prescribed Low Spin (33%) or Core (31%) heads and 9° of loft. Most-picked: Callaway Quantum TD Max (30%), TaylorMade Qi4D (20%), TaylorMade Qi4D LS (18%).

Question 7

What shaft weight and flex should I use in my driver?

Accepted Answer

It follows your speed. ELDRICK's driver tables: up to about 71 mph, 40–49 g; up to 86 mph, 50–59 g; up to 110 mph, 60–69 g; faster, 70–79 g. Flex: Senior up to about 78 mph, Regular to 92, Stiff to 104, Stiff+ to 108, then X-Stiff. Your tempo and ball flight can move it one step.

Question 8

Do I need a new driver?

Accepted Answer

Not always. If your current head type already suits your swing, the right shaft and length can matter more than a new model. ELDRICK will tell you when your current driver is already a strong fit.

Question 9

What irons are best for higher handicaps?

Accepted Answer

For the 1,000+ golfers with an 18+ handicap it has fitted, ELDRICK prescribed Game Improvement (36%) or Game Improvement High Launch (33%) heads. Its most-picked irons for them: Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal HL (27%), Srixon ZXiR HL (25%), TaylorMade Qi Max HL (25%).

Question 10

What is the ELDRICK Fit Guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Your returns and shipping follow your fitting. Fitted to ELDRICK's pick: 90-day returns, free standard shipping. Fitted, another head category: 60-day returns, free standard shipping. Fitted, your build: 30-day returns, free standard shipping. No fitting: returns on unopened clubs (30 days), $15 standard shipping. Express is priced by region and box, from $85. An order gets the terms of its lowest tier, and the fitting is free. To stay ELDRICK's pick, keep your fitted flex; loft within 1° of your fitting (wedges: any loft in your fitted wedge set); a shaft in your fitted weight band (irons: one band either way is fine); any head in the same category, any shaft model, any grip; length within ½" and swing weight within 2 points; any lie. A head from another category (Players to Game Improvement, say), or swing weight more than 2 points off: 60-day returns. A different flex, loft more than 1° off, another shaft weight (irons: two bands or more), or length more than ½" off: 30-day returns. Return shipping is paid by you. Used clubs are fine to return; a damaged club voids the return and we ship it back to you at our cost.
