So I am going to Golfsmith this afternoon to get a Ping G10 and have it fitted. Any comments or concerns with Golfsmith or the driver choice? I am going to try out a few others while I am there but I think I have finally made up my mind. Maybe.

Make sure you get on the swing analysis machine. Just because you want that driver, doesn't mean it's spec'd to you.

I went in for that driver and it didn't do the magic for me. So I ended up with something that is fit to my swing.

It's pretty amazing if you get someone who knows what they're talking about.

When getting fit, the best thing is to go in with a very open mind. Try some different clubs, then start with different shafts. Let the launch monitor stats help direct you to the club that best fits your swing. Enjoy the process if is fun and quite educational.

Are fittings free with purchase? Also, since is it okay that my shots hook and slice and aren't consistent for the swing analysis?

Well, I spent like an hour there getting fitted. Probably would have only taken like 10 if I was more consistant. Ended up with the Ping G10 10.5 Regular Shaft... might go back and get the high launch if I think I need it.

How much do they charge for that.

All this fitting talk has me curious. Maybe curious enough to part with some cash.

Well it was free, but they just look at your swing and try different shafts and you can try different grips, etc. You have to pay for the equipment if you get a different shaft or grip than the club normally comes with.

Yeah I really liked the 10.5 and went ahead and got it but after a while at the range I am going to go back and get the V2 HL because I had low ball flight.

What part of town are you in?

I wound up getting my Ping's from: Golf Driving Range Of Texas 1101 N Bowman Springs Rd Kennedale, TX 76060 817-572-3120 Bob is who I dealt with. He's a retired Ping tour pro, and the Ping clubfitter of the year 3 times. He's an amazing fellow, and really spent a lot of time with me, and made sure that I got the right clubs (I got 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW, UW, SW)

In my Sasquatch Tour Bag:

Driver - G10 10.5°: UST Pro Vorce V2 Shaft, Regular flex
Hybrid - G10 21° & 24°: TFC 129H, Stiff flex
Irons - S57 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW - Nippon 950GH stiff shaftsWedges - Tour 52°, 60° 56°Putter - 34" TracyBall - Treosoft

      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.
