How did they fit clubs in the 60's and 70's?

Did they just go off of feel and off-the-rack stuff?

I wonder what, if any, processes made up the equipment fitting process back then...

Dudes still shooting in the 60's to win majors with that equipment nonfit with any type of monitor or tech.

Ball flight, hitting on boards to see your ground contact, spray club face to see where you struck it.

Lead tape.

Lots of trial and error.
Bending.

There was just a handful of shaft options.

Lie board and range time was key.

In Jack's heyday you had some master clubmakers like Don White with McGregor.

Spaulding. Hogan and Wilson forgings were huge then.

They swung the clubs and played the ones they hit the best.

Insane concept
