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!

    • Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.
    • I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’ He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.
    • He wont win. I'm just going to leave it alone, Come on, the guys name is Gooch. The jokes write themselves. Had to suck in high school.
    • Day 122 - Stack session and some Evolvr work.
    • You've heard me say that one of my feels is that the ball will go 45° right… and it doesn't. At all. Just make sure you remember HOW crazy that feel is, because… it may feel that extreme for a long time.
