When it comes to upgrading to a new driver people are increasingly looking for one thing – more distance.
But exactly how many of those precious extra yards are you leaving in the bank by not being properly fit for a driver that suits your game and upgrading to the latest technology available?
We wanted to find out, so we ran a competition to invite four lucky National Club Golfer readers to the TaylorMade National Custom Fitting Centre at The Belfry to find out.
What were we looking for? Well, we asked each winner to bring along their existing driver to compare it to the new TaylorMade Stealth.
We wanted to see just how much the Stealth helps golfers of all different abilities gain in ball speed and carry distance.
We also wanted to show you just how many options the fitters have at their disposal to help you get the most out of your driver, whether it is tweaking the hosel, or moving the adjustable weights, a custom fitting can really dial in your game and, ultimately, leaves you with something completely designed for you.
Keep reading for a little teaser of our day at The Belfry, or the video at the top of the page to find out how our readers got on…

“I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’ve never been through anything like that before and it was great. The women’s driver was a lot easier to hit. It felt comfortable and it certainly seemed to be going straighter more often. I would absolutely recommend getting fitted to other lady golfers. It certainly makes a difference.”
