Fit the shaft before the clubhead

A Club Champion fitter explains why he fits the shaft before the clubhead: the shaft is the engine of the club and the only thing connecting your hands to the clubface, so it governs your tempo, your ability to square the face, and how consistently you strike the sweet spot. His stated fitting order is to lock in the right shaft first, then test different heads.
