I was thinking about getting an R11s 5 wood, but I don't know if I need to get fit for it. This club has lots of adjustability, so why should I pay extra to get fit?

To get the right shaft and know what the right setting is.

I already know my shaft flex because I hit my regular flex fairway wood great and I am standard shaft length. Also, doesn't the r11s wood come with a booklet that helps you get the right setting?

The R11S driver comes with a book, not sure about the fairway woods. The book tells you how to adjust and what the adjustment are. It does not tell help you find your settings.

I play the R11S driver and was thinking of purchasing the R11S 5 wood. I found that I hit the RBS Tour 5 wood much better and farther. You might want to hit this as well. Also, not sure where you're located, but I have a PGA Superstore in my area and they will fit the R11S to you, no need to pay for a fitting.

I didn't. I'm pretty common sensical when it comes to this kind of stuff. I started with it set neutral and hit some balls. Set it to where I thought I needed it and played. After that I went to the limits of it's settings and tried it every which way. Came back to where I originally set it. I never have messed with the weights because, well I don't have any and never seen any for sale anywhere.

i think most people are standard loft/lie/grip just because most golfers are standard in size/swing speeds.  if you are average height/weight, you probably don't *need* to be fit.  but if you're above/below average in height/weight, you probably need to get fitted.  i'm 6'5", 190lbs and i have 1" extensions, upright 2 degrees, and i have larger grips than standard.  it makes a big difference in my game compared to when i hit all standard clubs.

www.ping.com has a pretty good online fitting system that would give you an idea if you are standard or not.  i did ping's online fitting and got fit by an actual fitter with the same results.  it's a decent starting point at least, and the info they give you can be used with any club.

if you're going to spend $500+ on clubs, i think it's worth getting fitted since if you don't hit them well and the reason is they aren't fitted, you'll just find yourself selling those clubs and starting over and spending more.  most fitters will refund the price of fitting if you buy the clubs through them.  if you're buying used, go to golfsmith or something and get fitted, then buy a wedge or driver or some other cheap club to get your refund on the fitting.
