And if so, please tell me your experience, and how your doing with your irons now. I bought the ones in my sig off of ebay and they are not fitted to me. I actually have never been fitted before for irons, and am wondering if I should be going to Golfsmith to get this done. I wouldnt be buying new irons, just getting the lies bent if need be and lofts changed. (There is a store 10 minutes from me) or if I should be going somewhere else to get this done. Let me know. Thanks.

I got fitted at Golfsmith for my irons and driver. They use swing tape to find the appropriate lie angle and a launch monitor for shaft flex. Not the most technical fitting, but probably adequate for most players. If you want an in depth fitting you may want to look elsewhere.

I really think it depends on the salesperson. The GS here in Austin has some very inexperienced people working. I would look at other places if it was me. Getting fitted properly is important, you want someone that truly wants to help you enjoy the game, not just someone putting on an act to sell you on merch. later.

I got fitted at GS and the measurements told me that I could use standard lies and lenths. My swiing speed was enough for a stiff flex. Not the best fitting I have received, but was acurate. If I had wanted to wait for them I could have had custom clubs that were 1/4" longer. But I didn't need it.

not irons...

but i did get a new driver shaft there..

Go on a day when theres no one there, spend some time hitting, then ask the guy some questions about shafts, (if thats hwa tyou looking for..)

I got the salesman to come over, look at my swing, and recomend me a shaft for free.

If your looking to just get lie/loft, id say golfsmith is adequete, if your looking for a total makeover, look at a performance institute.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
