I put in my measurements on the Golfsmith website and it was telling me what combination of shaft, stiffness, lie angle, and such. Was wondering how accurate it is. For my irons it was telling -1 deg flat and for my wedges -3 deg flat.

It all depends on the accuracy of the information you wrote down, what you have done is known as a static fitting, fitting golf clubs by using only static measurements.

I personally recommend getting a complete fit and going to a custom fit centre to do this.

Until you get fitted personally, you won't know.

I cannot imagine ordering clubs from anywhere based on a static fitting when launch monitors and good fitting centers are so readily available. Use an online fitting system as a rough estimate only. It will never take the place of a session with a pro on a launch monitor.

i would NEVER go by anything on the internet. I did that once too...just recently. it told me to play a 8.5 degree driver
told me to shorten my shafts 1/2", change the lie and yeah...If i'm puring the ball now, why would I want to change it?

IF you're gonna get fitted..which is what I would say would be the #1 thing that you could do for your game, then go to a place that's gonna take care of you PROPERLY. go to a custom fitting company that spends a good 2 - 3 hours fitting you for everything.... it's kind of cool too seeing what you're doing..and checking out the monitors helps you understand why the ball's reacting the way that it is for you.... I've taken those into account and have worked on it myself....I paid for the custom fitting...and all they changed was the length of my clubs

      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?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
