Golf club fitting for Reading and Berkshire golfers
Looking for professional golf club fitting near Reading? Elite Performance Golf Studios is an independent custom golf club fitting studio in Newbury, Berkshire, around 30 minutes from Reading. We provide specialist driver, iron, wedge, fairway, hybrid and full-bag fittings using Foresight GCQuad, with an extensive range of heads and shafts from the leading golf manufacturers.
Every fitting starts by testing your existing equipment. There is no pressure to buy new clubs — if what you already own performs best, we'll tell you
Who our Reading golf fitting is for
We regularly fit golfers who travel from Reading, Wokingham, Thatcham, Hungerford, and the wider Berkshire area — as well as players already based in and around Newbury.
This page is for you if you want:
A longer, private, appointment only session (not a rushed shop bay)
Clear data from Foresight GCQuad before anyone talks about buying clubs
An honest view on whether your current set is already performing well
Clubs built to your exact custom fitting specifications
If you only need the nearest launch monitor bay to home, a Wokingham or Reading shop may be more convenient. If you want a thorough specialist fitting and are happy with a short drive, Newbury is built for that.
Why drive to Newbury from Reading?
Retail fittings have their place. We founded EP Golf to offer something different: more time, more data, and no pressure to buy.
Honesty first. We start with your current clubs on GCQuad. If they are performing well, we will say so. Performance comes before sales.
Data you can trust. Every baseline and comparison runs on Foresight Sports technology so we can see ball flight and club delivery clearly — launch, spin, speed, gapping, and more.
Longer sessions. Our fittings are typically longer than a standard retail slot, so there is room to test proper head and shaft combinations rather than guessing from a short sample.
Built here. Specifications are not just recommended. We ensure every single club is built to the exact specifications through our Quality Check process.
Personal. You work directly with fitters who care about long-term relationships, not a one-off sale or commission.

How we differ from “nearest fitter” options
Berkshire has excellent shops and coaches. The right choice depends on what you need.
If you're looking for a basic custom fitting, this probably isn't for you. Our fittings are designed to be thorough, with experienced custom fitters, longer duration and extensive head and shaft testing to make sure no stone is left unturned.
Using Foresight GCQuad, we start by analysing your current equipment before testing different head and shaft combinations. There's no pressure to buy. The goal is simply to find what performs best for you at EP Golf Studios in Newbury.
We are not trying to be every golfer’s nearest option. We are trying to be the clear choice when you care about an honest process, deeper data, and clubs built properly after the numbers make sense.
Our fitting process
Pre-fitting talk — strengths, weaknesses, and what you want from the set
Existing club audit — length, loft, lie, shaft profile
Baseline on GCQuad — are your current clubs already optimised?
The fitting — test combinations for performance, look, and feel
Results — your Elite Performance spec sheet
Order and build — only when you are happy; trade-ins available via our Nearly New Golf Clubs partnership

Still deciding? Read our FAQs or contact us.
Is it worth the drive from Reading for a club fitting?
If you want the closest multi-bay or TrackMan session, a Wokingham or Reading studio may suit you best. If you want a longer, impartial, honest, GCQuad led fitting, EP Golf Studios in Newbury is built for that.
Do you use TrackMan or GCQuad?
We use Foresight Sports GCQuad for our fittings. It captures the detailed ball and club data we need for an accurate, repeatable fit.
Do I have to buy clubs after a fitting?
No. We start with your current clubs on GCQuad. If they are performing well, we will tell you. Our goal is performance, not a forced sale.
Can I trade in my old clubs?
Yes. Through our partnership with Nearly New Golf Clubs you can get a quote, drop clubs with us, and put the value towards an upgrade when you are ready.
How do I get to EP Golf Studios from Reading?
By train, Reading station is around 30 minutes by taxi or Uber to our Newbury studio. Newbury station is under 10 minutes from us. By car, allow for Berkshire traffic and arrive a few minutes early for your appointment. Full address: Unit 1 Shaw Farm Road, Newbury, Berkshire, RG14 2HY.
Do you fit golfers from Reading and Wokingham?
Yes. We are based in Newbury, Berkshire (Unit 1 Shaw Farm Road, RG14 2HY). Reading train station is about 30 minutes away. Many golfers across Berkshire — including Reading and Wokingham — book an appointment for a longer GCQuad fitting rather than a quick retail session.
How long does a custom golf fitting take?
Most dedicated club fitting sessions take between 75 and 120 minutes, giving us plenty of time to assess your current equipment, analyse your GCQuad data and test different head and shaft combinations. More comprehensive sessions, such as a full-bag fitting, take longer.
What should I bring to a golf club fitting?
Bring your current clubs, your golf shoes if you normally play in them, and ideally the golf glove you usually wear. Your existing equipment gives us an important performance baseline, allowing us to compare any new head and shaft combinations against what is already in your bag. There's no need to worry about hitting every shot perfectly, we're interested in your normal golf swing.
Can beginners and high-handicap golfers get custom fitted?
Absolutely. Custom fitting isn't just for low handicap or experienced golfers. Beginners and higher-handicap golfers can benefit significantly from having equipment that suits their swing, speed and delivery. You don't need a perfectly consistent swing either, we'll collect enough data during the session to identify the equipment characteristics that work best for your game.
Can I get fitted without buying clubs?
Yes. There is no obligation to buy clubs after your fitting. Our fitting fee is separate from any equipment purchase, allowing us to give you an honest recommendation based purely on performance. If your current clubs perform just as well as the alternatives we test, we'll tell you. You'll still leave with your recommended specifications and can decide to buy at a later date if you like. We also price match online, so you can get a custom fitting experience without the high markup charges that people have experienced elsewhere.
What golf club brands can I test?
We offer an extensive selection of equipment from leading manufacturers including Ping, Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Srixon, Wilson and Vice Golf, alongside a large range of stock and aftermarket shaft options. Availability varies by club category and model, and if there's something specific you'd like to test, contact us before your fitting and we'll see if we can arrange it.
Do you offer driver fittings near Reading?
Yes. EP Golf Studios offers specialist driver fittings at our Newbury studio, approximately 30 minutes from Reading. During your fitting we'll analyse factors including club-head speed, ball speed, launch, spin and ball flight using Foresight GCQuad before testing different driver heads and shaft combinations to optimise performance.
Do you offer iron fittings near Reading?
Yes. We offer dedicated iron fittings for golfers travelling from Reading and across Berkshire. We'll compare your existing irons against different head and shaft combinations, using launch monitor data to assess factors such as ball speed, launch, spin, distance, gapping and consistency before recommending your ideal specifications. Our current fitting matrix includes models from brands such as Titleist, Ping, TaylorMade, Callaway, Cobra, Mizuno, Srixon, Wishon and Vice Golf.
How much is a golf fitting near Reading?
Our fitting prices vary depending on the type of session you choose. We offer dedicated driver, iron, wedge, fairway, hybrid and full-bag fitting sessions at our Newbury studio, around 30 minutes from Reading. Golf club fittings at EP Golf Studios start from £75. Prices vary depending on whether you book a driver, iron, wedge, fairway, hybrid or full-bag fitting. The fitting fee covers your fitter’s time and expertise and is separate from any equipment purchase, helping us keep our recommendations completely independent and focused on performance.
