Dan Sacks on custom club fitting "The Final Frontier"

As a custom club builder, Dan Sacks strives to gain enough insight into his customers' game so that he makes sure that they have the absolute best tools in their bag. His goal is to get each golfer to hit the ball in the center of the club face, because if you can't hit the seet spot, you are at a distinct disadvantage. Dan spent his apprenticeship traveling across the country working for Cleveland Golf and Hot Stix doing custom fitting and learning all about every type of golf club. This is part one of our conversation with Dan. Part two is answering listener questions, but will only be available to Golf Smarter Members coming up in the near future.
