MISC.:
How do you promote clubfitting?
Social Media, Website, Word of Mouth, Lessons

How do you stay up to date on product and clubfitting best practices?
The manufacturers provide good online info and certification programs. Also as golf pros we are all "equipment junkies" so its only natural we try to keep up with the latest and greatest.

What industry products/services would help you be a better clubfitter?
More shaft options from the OEMs. They don't include as many as they used to. Also more high-loft fairways and hybrids. Also since we mostly fir with 7 irons, a n extra 4 /5 and or 9 iron would be nice.
