Looking to Buy new Titleist set (Driver, 3W, Irons, 2 wedges)

Hey everyone, new member here, first thread. My name is Jason, I live in MA, and the weather is bogus, but I am really itching to get out.

Anyways, I have a great opportunity to get Titleist equipment from a friend of mine on the Titleist staff. I will be going to his club shop to get fitted, as soon as they open. Mid March most likely, he says.

I am a decent golfer, I have a mixed bag that I am decently happy with, but with my situation, price of clubs wise I am going to take advantage of being able to deck myself out and not have to worry about clubs for a long time. Price is basically not a concern, but do'nt feel like I need "THE BEST" if it is not the club for ME.

The conditions are, I have just Titleist to choose from.

Last year I averaged about 80-82 I would guess, with an occasional high 70, and ocasional high 80. I plan on playing A LOT this summer, and will start playing as soon as the weather allows me to. I am sure I would benefit from a more forgiving club, but am not ruling anything out. (I am playing Ping i3 clubs right now with moderate success)

I am still learning about types of clubs with different shaft/flex/grip options, but am wondering what some of you might recommend for TITLEIST CLUBS. I am sure the fitter would know best, but I am looking to educate myself in advance, and get some of your opinions.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

PS i am REALLLY itching to play this is awful. Im going to have to drive to NC over Spring Break and play..

Titleist is a wonderful manufacturer, you really can't go wrong with anything they build. If I had to choose one company to round out an entire bag it would be a tossup between Titleist and Callaway. The best advice I can give you is go to the fitter with a completely open mind. Hit everything Titleist has to offer and come to your own conclusions. Once you narrow your club head selections down, hit as many different shaft options as you can. This can be somewhat difficult given the relatively poor selection of demo shafts available from Titleist (no fitting carts), but perhaps your club fitter will have some other manufacturers' clubs available with more shaft options to try.

Also, if the fitter doesn't have the AP1/2 available to hit yet, make sure you wait until they do. They are supposed to be extraordinary.

Thanks for your reply.

I just got off the phone with him, and he's thinking the AP1 would most likely be my favorite choice, but I agree with you, I will keep an open mind. He says I am going to have a hard time not liking the AP clubs.

I am excited. and Anxious AHH
