I was fitted a few years back and ended up getting 1/2" plus on shaft length and 2.0 degree upright lie angle.  Ended up buying some Ping G Series with AWS steel shafts at the time.  Recently I was thinking about trying some graphite shafted irons and found a good deal on some Mizuno JPX 923 that happen to be 1/2" plus for length and 2.0 upright lie angle.  Can I assume my PING fitting specs also apply to Mizuno or any other brand?  I know the answer is probably to go get fitted again but was just wondering.

Thanks for any help.

One of the guys that does fitting would obviously be best person to respond here and I’d assume different the lie angle categories are not universal and that you should be refit. Others things to consider, has your swing changed over past few years since being fit? That may change your fitting.

You would have to do the following...

1. Pull the spec sheet for the base Ping (black dot) irons and the spec sheet for the other brand you are looking at.
2. Due the math on the adjustment that would give you a new spec from the Ping fitting. 
3. Compare the differences to the specs of the brand you want to check and get how those should be adjusted.

Note a proper fitting, hitting golf balls with a launch monitor, brings in more information like how the CG, and loft effect the ball flight. The online fitting is a decent place to get a starting point.

Thanks for the feedback, I will look into cross referencing the standard specs but will also look into setting up a full fitting.

They’ll at least be pretty close. But yeah I’d look at the spec charts.

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
