No two golfers are the same, and by that I don’t just mean their handicap; their height, stance, posture and their swing are all factors that make one golfer different from the next.  The majority of golf clubs around today can be customised to accommodate these differences.  Basically a custom fitted club is a personalised golf club that is specific to you.  Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned pro you’ll benefit from a set of customised golf clubs.

Golf Buy It Online customises clubs for all the top brands including Ping, Titleist, Callaway, Mizuno, Nike, TaylorMade and Cobra.  So whether you’re looking for Drivers, Fairways, Rescues, Wedges, Putters or Irons we can fit you out from tee to green and as we are authorised custom fitters for all of the above golf manufacturers you know that firstly you are getting a set of genuine golf clubs and secondly that they have been prescribed and fitted by trained professionals. 

The process takes place in our fitting centre or we can book you into one of the manufacturer’s fitting centres throughout the UK.  The fitting sessions take up to an hour for Irons and Drivers and the clubs are built by the manufacturer with a turn around time of 7-14 days. Customers can be fitted and then we ship the clubs to them meaning they don’t have to travel back to pick the clubs up. 

We customise golf clubs for the same price as the clubs on our website.  If you don’t buy on the day then there is a £25 fee which gives you 30 days to return to purchase or you can pay £50 and we will give you a full prescription so that you can buy them from wherever they like.

Left handed golfers are seen to be pretty rare, but with the amount of top brands manufacturing left handed clubs, they can’t be that rare. Mike Weir, Phil Mickelson, Steve Flesch, Russ Cochran, Kevin Wentworth and Greg Chalmers are six left handed golfers on the PGA Tour. Of these, Mike Weir and Phil Mickelson have both won the US Masters so despite that there are so few left handed golfers, titles can be won. Len Mattiace is left handed but plays with his right and lost out to Weir at the US Masters. Golf Buy It Online supplies high quality left handed golf equipment from top brands such as Callaway, Nike, TaylorMade and more. You’ll be able to find all the best clubs such as the Callaway Golf FTi Graphite Square Drivers, Nike Golf Ignite Steel Shafted Irons, TaylorMade Golf Burner XD Steel shafted Irons as well as many more.

If you’re new to golf you may be wondering why gloves are used during a game of golf. Well the reason golf gloves are needed is to avoid the handle of the club twisting during the golf swing and to secure a player’s grip without needing to apply extra pressure. Another reason for wearing golf gloves is to prevent your hands from getting blisters, which can be a big problem. Some golfers use one glove and the reason for this is that only the right hand is on the club at any one time, but depending on the weather or time of year you may choose to wear two gloves.

Here at Golf Buy It Online we have a massive selection of Footjoy Gloves and we have special offers on a selected range. You will get a discount for buying bulk on a range of Footjoy gloves including Footjoy Mens Sta-sof Gloves, Footjoy Ladies Sciflex Gloves and Footjoy Cabrettasof Mens Gloves as well as many others.

If you’re looking for a new fairway, why not have a look at the Callaway FT Fairway Woods. A stainless steel face and body combine with a tungsten-infused sole to optimise the centre of gravity and increase the moment of inertia for superior forgiveness. The FT Fairway Wood is engineered for performance, which is exactly what you’ll get from this fairway. Callaway’s OptiFit System enables you to customise your club to fit your individual needs by giving you the choice of two centre of gravity locations: Draw for promoting a draw or reducing a slice/fade and Neutral for maximum workability.

Callaway are hoping that a conventional hosel will give it a broad appeal. The design of the hosel is integral to the balance, feel and power of a club. Modern hosels are designed to place as little mass as possible over the top of the striking face of the club, which lowers the centre of gravity of the club for better distance. The hosel allows our engineers to add loft without increasing face progression for more confidence.

So if you’re looking for a fairway wood to help with distance then look no further than the FT Fairway Woods from Callaway.
