I have a new putter and driver. I bought both at Golf Galaxy and did not get fitted for either. I'm pretty sure I can bring them back with receipts and have them adjusted but what can be done with the driver? Is it just a reduction of length?
I am in the process of taking lessons. We have not done any putting yet. Should I wait until I get my stroke down before I bring it in for adjustment?

Thanks

I can't really answer your question, but do you know if Golf Galaxy charges for a fitting if you don't buy from them?

You don't have to wait until you get your stroke down to get fitted. If anything, getting fitted WILL help you cut off some strokes. It'll be the best money you've ever spent, I guarantee it.

I'm pretty sure most places charge if you don't buy clubs from them.

What is involved in with getting a driver adjusted. Can anything be adjusted besides the length?

IMHO You should get fitted before hitting them. Why, because you can change the length longer or shorter, and also you can change the size of the grips, the flexibility of the shaft. Believe me the flexibility of the shaft in the driver can help you to prevent a huge slice.

The length can be adjusted, the loft, the lie and the flex. Generally, anything you can do to an iron can be done to a driver. You should find a reputable fitter to do this for you. Someone with limited experience can cause some damage.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
