Every golfer
reaches a point where his skill begins to ask more of his equipment no matter
his or her handicap. Even the finest
brand golf club needs customization before it truly reflects the player who’s
swinging it. With the use of
numerous techniques throughout the years, EJL Custom Golf has come up with a
method that combines all the necessary ingredients to get a Tour quality fit
without guessing or computer generated answers, we call it Max Out Golf!
Max Out Golf starts with the use of our
shaft inventory and club inventory of all the major OEM
manufactures.
These shafts and clubs have been outfitted so that each
shaft can be connected in seconds to each head.
This allows use with an infinite number of different
combinations for a golfer to choose from in minutes.
This technology allows the golfer to hit the exact
club and shaft that would be custom built for him or her.
The golfer can truly see and feel the difference
between his or her previous club and the new club that would
be built. With the use of our Launch Monitor (which measures
ball speed, launch angle, spin rates, distance, attack
angle) the golfer is able to take one of those combinations
and see how it performs for him/her.
Max Out also incorporates load cell
technology with its fitting. Load is a better determinate of
what force is being put on the shaft during the swing and
allows us to better fit a golfer for shaft flex and torque.
The end product of a Max Out fitting is the assurance of a
perfect fit seen by a golfers own eyes.

services.

How to Practice Correctly
Date: July 12th Time: Noon - 1:00pm
July 13th
Time: Noon - 1:00pm
Location: Cantigny Golf Academy
Practice within the Cantigny Golf Academy
For the first time in the
history of golf you have the ability to practice correctly. Gone are
the wasted and counterproductive hours of beating balls on a driving range. Our
practice studios and our patented Hot Lines provide you with the ability to
practice your swing mechanics even when your golf professional is not watching.
Hot Lines are guaranteed to speed up the learning process.
How it works:
The process begins
with the student and the instructor working together to isolate any element of
the golf swing. The Hot Lines and/or reference lines are placed in a position on
the computer monitor to accurately provide enough sensory or visual feedback to
satisfy any golfer. If the club or body makes contact with a Hot Line, it causes
the ball to disappear (negative feedback) or a light to flash (positive
feedback). As many as four separate Hot Lines may be used at one time. Every
aspect of the golf swing, from creating a desired setup to the proper swing
motions of the golf club, can be improved.
The Benefits:
Practice time may
be included in lesson packages or can be purchased by itself after an initial Golf
Academy
lesson. Upon a student’s return for practice, all the previous information is
available on the computer screen. Reference lines and Hot Lines will remain
intact to reinforce particular motions or golf club positions.

Many junior golfers have Tour quality swings, but few junior golfers have Tour quality minds. In fact, the single largest factor holding most junior players from playing to their potential is understanding, and mastering, the mental side of the game. The best time to learn to think like a champion is at a young age before poor mental habits have time to take root.

The complete golfer is a well-prepared individual --physically, as well as mentally. While most players
admit that "the game within the game is between the ears", mental skills training is an often overlooked ingredient as a golfer assembles a performance program. The degree of mental preparedness of a player is often the difference between success and failure.
