Wedge Fitting Explainer: Indoor vs Outdoor Testing in Golf Equipment

When a golfer stands before a launch monitor in the enclosed practice facility, he may believe he is controlling every aspect of his swing. But behind that is a harsh reality: the indoor environment cannot replicate the real interaction between the club and the turf. That is the exact moment Jerry Azurin, the product manager responsible for fitting at Cleveland/Srixon/XXIO, has spent decades observing to point out – wedge fitting is not just data, but a balance between controlled data and real-world experience. This article, based on the deep analysis from the Cleveland/Srixon/XXIO expert, will open up a comprehensive perspective on this process, not stopping at technique but touching on the golfer's psychology and optimization in the short term.
