Surprisingly, it's not as expensive as you may think. I'll explain my process to get my custom fitted irons. Basically, I went to a fitter and get fitted for the irons. (duh) All I had to pay for was the actual fitting, which was 40$. Then I took my "coordinates" to my local golf store and they sent for the irons. I only had to pay extra for the shipping. So unless you're really tight budget, you can get a normal off the shelf driver price plus a good 60 bucks or so. It is more than worth it. GOOD LUCK!

OPPS! I didn't realize you got fitted already. Well I hope you enjoyed the experience and are happy with your driver. I recommend to every golfer to go get fitted for every club they buy. I'm a hypocrite though, I just bought a taylor made burner TP off the shelf. Love it though :)

Go get on a launch monitor with a KNOWLEDGABLE tech. IMO, only pay attention to you club head speed, launch angle and possibly the ball speed. If the tech is knowledgable he will direct you to the correct loft and what type of kicking shaft, (low, mid or high kicking) is best for your swing.

A little off topic, but almost any golf company has aerospace engineers on staff to make their clubs as aerodynamic as possible. I was talking to a professor at purdue and he knew one of the designers at callaway who used to be a professor at purdue and was one of the most knowledgeable guys he's ever met.

Back on topic. Rapture is a great club. It's been known for being more forgiving than long i believe. I hit that longer than my current driver(borrowed one for a couple weeks), so who knows. Good luck!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
