What to expect
Size and fit are more useful starting points than a professional player's equipment choice.
A good place to start
Describe the player's experience and usual surface and ask to handle suitable options. Confirm the club's equipment requirements before buying a full kit.
What to compare
- Player fit
- Playing surface
- Club requirements and returns
Make the visit count
