Welcome To Peterborough’s Biggest Golf Store

Welcome to Peterborough’s biggest golf store, located in Yaxley near some of Peterborough’s finest courses, such as Peterborough Milton Golf Club or Elton Furze Golf Club. We offer everything a golfer could need with the biggest names in golf clubs, clothing, shoes and accessories.

However, what we have fast become renowned for is our custom fit to build service. A unique service that see’s the entire process of your new golf clubs completed in store. 

THE STORE

Located in the Eagle Business Park in Yaxley, our 1200 sqf store is fully equipped with a large clothing area with some of golfs leading brands including, J.Lindeberg, Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, Ping, FootJoy, Skechers, RLX and Ralph Lauren.

We also have fully stocked club stands from the major 6 brands on tour including, Titleist, Taylormade, Callaway, Ping, Cobra and Mizuno. Most Importantly though, we have a superb team of club fitters, coaches and builders who are on hand to give you a great golfing experience. 

From helping you find the perfect item of clothing for the course or a lesson to get your game in shape, our team are ready to help you.

From left to right we have store manager, coach and club fitter, Jason Boast. Adam Lewarne, coach and club fitter along with the build tea, Lewis Daff and Jack Yetton from the AFGolf Build Centre. 

CUSTOM FITTING

One of the areas we’ve become most recognised in Peterborough for is our custom fitting experience. 

A FREE 60 or 90 minute session that allows us to understand your specification, recommend and customise new clubs to your game. The process includes hitting golf balls into an indoor swing studio simulator, operated with a Trackman radar. Once hit, the radar will immediately show data surrounding the balls performance and certain club characteristics.

With this data our expert fitting team can understand what actions to take to customise new clubs to suit your game. This can include the head model of which each brand offer 3-4 models, all offering different factors such as forgiveness and stability. It could also include changing the shaft, of which we have hundreds to enable us to find the right specifications for you. We will also adjust the lie and length of a club to encourage better turf interaction and improved results. 

To ensure each and every customer is recommended clubs that best suit them, we offer over 10,000 head, shaft and grip combinations! Fortunately our team can narrow this down quickly!

As well as the brands of head we have a fantastic range of shafts from stock options to premium, inlcuding LA Golf, Graphite Design, Fujikura and many more.

Peterborough Club Fitting

Where many of our competitors charge for this service, we choose not too for one simple reason! 

IF YOU BUY WRONG, YOU’LL BUY TWICE!

Most golfers find it too easy to buy clubs straight off the shelf, however, all clubs off the shelf are standard specifications, and we are well aware no two golfers are the same. Customised clubs are going to give you performance gains, in fact, in 2022 our Trackman data shows a collective average of 21 yards gained with a custom fitted driver over their old clubs in our Peterborough studio.

So, we don’t want to charge and restrict any golfer from finding out their true specifications.

THE BUILD CENTRE

Something we are incredibly proud of at AFGolfStore is our build centre. Located at our Peterborough store, our build service gives you the option to have your clubs built by us.

Although this service is about quality and care as well as peace of mind by ensuring the clubs you order are the exact same as the spec you were fitted for in our studio, we love giving our customers the option to guarantee their new clubs are delivered on time. 

Our builders are in constant communication with your fitter to ensure everything meets your expectations. We want to give you an experience unlike anything you’ve had before, that’s why our builders are trained and tested by the lead manufacturers to ensure our build tolerance is to standard.

HOW IT WORKS 

Once you’ve had a custom fitting, you will be given the option (should you choose to purchase) to have your clubs built in store. Our build team will:

Most importantly you will be kept up to speed with your clubs development.

We also offer this service to customers not requiring a custom fitting , who are aware of the clubs they need. Our RetroFit service also allows you to have your current set re-fitted with any adjustments being made in the build centre, including new shafts, paint upgrades and more. 

VISIT US

So if you’re looking for a golfing experience where you can feel like the pro’s, then head to Yaxley, where we will happily welcome you to Peterborough’s biggest golf store, fitting and build centre!

What Is The Purpose Of Grind?

As golf continues to evolve, so to does the equipment. With each brand bringing out new models yearly, it begs the question, how much do the clubs change? Well, each year we see upgrades in materials, styles, COG adjustments and so much more. 

One area that continues to develop is wedge grinds. An important factor that many amateur golfers overlook when choosing a new wedge, and it could be costing you shots.

WHAT IS WEDGE GRIND

“Wedge grind is the manipulation or removal of material from the sole of the club, helping to improve contact with the turf. Grinds allow for more creativity and consistency around the green, letting you play with ball spin, flight, power, and other factors.” ~ Titleist

The blue shaded area in the adjacent image indicates the grind. It’s important to use the right wedge grinds for your swing type and course conditions, so you can be prepared to hit every kind of wedge shot.

As no single club suits every golfer it’s important that manufacturers are offering grinds and bounce options to suit every style. 

The way we interact with the turf varies and with the right club in our hands we can all play a shot to suit our game and skill set. 

This is why Vokey offer 6 grind options to support golfers in their quest to finding the right wedge. 

Finding the right wedge will depend on you as a golfer, factors include: 

  • Turf interaction (divot patterns)
  • Bunker confidence
  • Swing length preference
  • Skill set with opening the face and so on…

Below is Titleist’s spec sheet to indicate the criteria for each of their grinds.

Why Is Our Custom Fitting Service FREE At AFGolfStore

CUSTOM FITTING - CAMBRIDGE

At AFGolfStore we offer a range of services that we believe will help all golfers play their best. Golf lessons, honest advice and support, a wide retail selection fulfilling the needs of every golfer and of course our free custom fitting service.

The latter is a huge part of who we are, it helps our staff engage with customers and really become a part of their journey to better golf. In this blog we are going to explain why we don’t charge for our custom fit service.

CUSTOM FITTING PETERBOROUGH

Our custom fitting service is available over all of our sites and we strive to ensure our service in each store. Our fitting rooms come equipped with the following:

 

  • Trackman4 – The tour choice in radars when identifying key data from club and ball. Trackman helps us understand our customers specifications when looking to make technical changes or become equipped with new clubs.
  • A huge range of club choices and models. With access to all the leading brands and models in our studios, you will have no problem finding the right club for you.
  • Extensive choice in shaft and grips.
  • Indoor putting green with SAM PuttLab. A similar concept in Trackman for putting.
  • Most importantly, a friendly, honest member of our staff.

 

We take you on a journey to help you find the right clubs in an unbiased, honest manner. With so many in the industry charging for such a service with access to great technology, why don’t we charge?

We have 5 key reasons why we offer this service for FREE, all centred around our beliefs that everyone needs to be fitted when looking to get new clubs.

 

  1. KNOW YOUR SPEC! We cannot stress enough that everyone is different, from size to how you swing a club, so how can anyone be certain a set of clubs straight off the rack is correct for them? In some cases, they may well be correct, but we can only be sure by getting to know your swing characteristics and ensuring we know what clubs suit your game.
  2. RELATIONSHIP! It is important to our staff that we build a relationship with our customers. Buying a set of clubs is a big decision and we want to give our customers peace of mind that they have a contact point should they need advice or further information. Getting to know our customers allows us to ensure they are getting the equipment that will have performance gains in their game.
  3. TRUST! By giving unbiased, honest feedback we believe we can gain trust from our customers reassuring them that we are in this journey together and want you to have the right clubs.
  4. EDUCATION! Having a FREE service will encourage more people to take it. This gives us the chance to educate our customers and help them understand the game better. This is a huge factor when getting clubs, you must know what you’re purchasing.
  5. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION! We know that by having a fitting you will get the clubs perfect for your game. This will give our customers so much more satisfaction than gambling on a new set of clubs when coming to our stores.

Contact AFGolf Store Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Peterborough

So, if you are thinking of getting new clubs, but unsure where to begin, talk to us and get a FREE fitting. They are available 7 days a week with no obligation. However, we promise to give you a great experience that will educate you and leave you satisfied that you’ve found the right equipment to further your game.
