club fitting procedure

[Fusion]

I've been playing with callaway fusion's right off the rack for 3 seasons. I'm 5'11 with about a 34" wrist to floor measurment. According to the callaway chart, I'm ok at playing standard clubs.

I don't have much of a problem connecting with the ball. But if I were to get fitted. Can they fit my current clubs to me. Or do you have to buy new clubs after a fitting. From what i've been reading, clubs need to be purchased after the fitting is done.

I do suppose I could get my swing speed checked, etc.

If the Fusions are still in the Callaway cart, then you can fit the old clubs just as well as the new ones. Your best bet is to take your current 7 iron with you and see how your impact marks line up. Try a stiffer flex shaft and see how those results are, but if you're making good contact and seeing good results, you're probably fine.

How would I find out if mine are still in the Callaway cart? They are the first year of the Fusion irons.

On a related note, any tips on how to get the most out of a fitting? Is it bad to get fitted for clubs and then make changes to your swing? If I'm taking lessons to help me find my best swing, do I need to wait until the tweaks to my swing have stabilized before I'll get the most benefit from custom-fitted clubs? Or am I okay as long as my physical dimensions aren't changing? Thanks.

IMO a fitting is more based upon your size/height, flexibility, natural swing tendencies, and strength. A fitting will focus on shaft (both flex and material), head style ( game improvement or more of a players club), and then fine tuned to lie angle. Standard / flat / upright.

Ping has a pretty good static fitting online that you can start with to see if you are way out of standard. Are you really tall? Long torso? short legs? long arms? To try and answer your latest question - it should not matter to much if you are still working on your game. The fitting professional should be able to tell you if your swing OK or if you have some real bad tendencies that need to be corrected. Depending on where you have them fit, you might have a teaching pro giving you the fitting. I have seen quite a few shops that might charge you $50 or so for the fitting and will let you put this towards a set if you order it thru them. It should take 30-60 minutes to get it done.
good luck.

Absolutely you can get your current clubs fitted, it's not a bad idea to have your club checked on a regular basis anyways especially if you play a lot. If it's the fitting van then just check with those guys. Some may or may not adjust existing clubs so they may refer you to a repair shop or clubmaker in the area.
