Combining the correct golf equipment with the right golf ball is frequently a balancing act that can be hard to nail.

Players desire a driver with fast speeds, large distances, and little spin.

Optimized irons correspond to certain launch windows, consistent spin, and stopping power on the greens.

Wedges are all about spin and control.

Davis Thompson found the perfect balance at the John Deere Classic earlier this month.

Thompson submits his fitting requirements to Craig Allan, director of Sea Island’s Golf Performance Centre, who works with a number of PGA TOUR players.

Allan advised Thompson on adjustments to improve his game.

Thompson shot a tournament score record of 28-under-256 to win the John Deere Classic, thanks to his irons and shafts.

Allan recommends adjusting one factor at a time while determining the ideal golf equipment configuration.
