Does anyone know of a good place to go get a driver fitting in central NJ? I went to a Golf Galaxy and was very disappointed. First they had a kid do it who was probably 18 at best. I really think their launch monitor was a bit off. I mean I'm not an expert and maybe my swing is off, but the numbers just seemed out of whack. I don't remember them off hand but it was like my launch angle was over 22 degrees, my spin was like 3300-3400, my club head spead was only like a 92. Now I know my club speed is more than that I was in the 105's when I was in highschool (Im 28 now). But regardless of my numbers I didn't like their solutions, he basically told me there was no shaft that could correct this and his only advice was to get a lower spinning ball and proceeded to push the one they were running a special on.

Now granted my swing could use some tuning, I tend to got past parallel in my backswing and I often push my drives, I don't think my swing is horrendous. Either way I was just disappointed in the service that was provided and would like to check someone out that knows what they are doing.

Forgot to add that I play a Nike Sasquatch (the original model) 9.5degrees with the stock shaft (stiff). I tend to hit my drives high, they don't get that straight line boring type path, could say they balloon a bit. So I am guessing this has to do with my high launch angle, although I don't believe it was as high as the launch monitor said it was.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.

      As we've had to tell other people, the topic is which is the better GOLFER, not human being.
