Why professionals certify
TruePath doesn't replace your fitting. It makes it more powerful.
A broader equipment universe
Evaluate the wider market alongside the heads and shafts you already test in person.
No inventory obligation
Adding TruePath to your fitting business does not require stocking additional equipment.
Brand independent
TruePath isn't built around moving a particular manufacturer's equipment.
Powered by the TruePath Fitting Engine™
Use the same core fitting technology behind the consumer TruePath experience.
A premium customer deliverable
Every certified fitting ends with a structured TruePath Verdict™ you present to the golfer.
Engine integrity
The TruePath Independence Standard
A TruePath Certified Fitter™ can work for a golf facility, sell equipment or maintain manufacturer relationships. What they cannot do is change a TruePath Verdict™ simply because another product is easier or more profitable to sell.
If the right decision is KEEP, KEEP remains the answer.
A Certified Fitter may provide
- Golfer information
- Professional observations
- Launch-monitor information
- Professional context
A Verdict is never changed for
- Available inventory
- Brand preference
- Manufacturer incentives
- Profit margin
- Personal preference
Professional observations are stored separately from the engine's recommendation. The underlying recommendation remains generated by the TruePath Fitting Engine™.
