ARTISAN'S IRON FITTING PHILOSOPHY
Artisan is focused on providing Artisan players with the same fitting experience as the professionals we’ve worked with. Each Artisan iron fitting focuses on testing outdoors on real turf because this is how you play golf. If you ask a professional golfer if they’ll hit into a screen or outdoors, you’ll get a quick, decisive answer to hit outdoors to see their full ball flight and feel the turf interaction in real-time every time.
The professional would also test the three iron head models in a 5, 7, and 9 iron with interchangeable shafts with variety of weight, flexes, and profiles. Premium golf balls and research grade launch monitor to validate the data. And of course, an experienced fitter who has worked with these professional players on a frequent basis.
Our expert Artisan fitters have years of experience in understanding how equipment influences ball flight and your golf swing. This is the core of Artisan’s philosophy. “Good Tool, Good Swing”, “Bad Tool, Bad Swing.” It’s important to understand that your golf clubs swing you as much as you are swinging them.
Visit Artisan Golf at our facility in Fort Worth, TX for the ultimate iron fitting experience.

Iron Fitting Guide
Your Tools Train You
ALL golfers will adjust to equipment overtime regardless of skill-level because your clubs (tools) train you.
If the tool is not correct, your ball flight will not match your expectation and therefore you'll adjust your technique and setup overtime reacting technique otherwise you'll manipulate your setup and swing overtime.
​
We've designed a iron fitting process that not only gives you the correct tool, but we go in depth to match the irons to your technique and ball-flight.​​​
We test in the real-world
We like to fit in the dirt because that's where you play golf.
​
The shots you hit require a technique and an iron that hits the correct distance and ball-flight you desire. During the fitting our Artisan fitter will guide you to the correct iron set as well as teaching you technique to hit certain shots you may need.
​
Our goal is to make you an iron set that performance, feel, and look what you expect from our Artisan irons.​
