Just wanted to thank the people who provided me with some of their fitting build sheets. Hopefully don't mind that I used them in my newest video highlighting some of the questionable practices going on with some fitters. I of course removed any personal info and never mention any of the fitters by name. Unfortunately this stuff is happening far too often to not be called out by someone.

If you want to see it.

Nice video, Adam. 

The last time I got fit for a driver. They gave me the "stock" shaft and the "upgraded" shaft, I still have the "stock" shaft sitting around here someplace. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Good video.

 

At my fitting it was recommended that I keep my driver and get stock shafts in my irons That makes me feel a bit better about the fitter.

War Eagle!

A guy I know was fit for Ping irons at Club Champion, and had a shaft upgrade that was $60/ shaft for steel shafts. He was not given credit for the original shafts, and he wasn't given the original shafts.

Yeah. I say bad fitters in the video like I am referring to individual people, but really I am talking about certain fitting companies who I didn't want to call out by name specifically.

      Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.

      So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.
