Yes it's worth it!

What irons are you buying? Some companies do fitting for free when they know you're buying a set. I got my Mizuno irons & wedges fit for me for free at a Roger Dunn tent sale, by a Mizuno representative, after telling him I was planning to buy the MP-57s. I think Ping does free fitting. I would be very surprised if other companies didn't do it for free, too.

I got my irons fit for free when I bought my new set...shaft angle, length and grips all changed for nothing. If it's not offered by the manufacturer, try work a deal with the store. I did a bit of both.

Most will do it for free. I have seen a few that charge $50 when they have a launch monitor, but it gets refunded from the purchase price if you buy clubs. Mizuno did this at a local club with a Vector Launch Monitor a few weeks back.

Ping does it all for free. I love their product, but this is what got me into Ping in the first place. A local pro was Ping's Canadian clubfitter of the year about 5 years ago, and Ping does numerous demo days with him and they bring in the launch monitor twice a year. I got all fitted up and they really give you individual attention in the fitting process. When the launch monitor is in town they fly in fitters who are specially trained on them. I know a few people who have gone to Ping and TaylorMade's fitting centers and they said it was an unbelievable process.

Whatever brand you are buying, it is definitely worth getting fitted. Just make sure the person doing it has a good history and reputation.

Absolutely get fitted. As for cost, if you have any kind of purchase history with a shop, you most likely can get them to do it for free. Same if you give them reason to believe you will use them again in the future.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
