Hello all,

Ok, first off let me start with friday I had a demo day at my local GC. The day went great, I sold 2300 euros worth of stuff (no iron sets) anyway, this customer came to me and told me having trouble with his long irons. I ask which ones, he told me his 3,4 and 5 iron. I said ok what is your handicap and which irons are u using? he tell me handicap 29 and he is using apex tour blades, standard length and lie. Oh by the way he is shorter then avg. I was like why are u using blades?? He told me they look "cool" I was like your right however your game doesnt look "cool" when u hit a ball 150 yards and then it travels 80 right of where u wanted to be.. Anyway I give him my card and tell him to come see me to get "fitted" he saids oh no when he gets better he get "fitted" but not before. I asked why he tells me its not worth it.. Its just someone making money by filling a customers head with bullcrap!!! I say ok try this iron ( have inch shorter and 2° flat) a 4 he swings not only did the ball get in the air it went where he wanted it to go.. needless to say he took the card and made a appointment this morning with me to get fitted next week..

Is there anyone here that thinks that club fitting is only for the pro's??

I don't think you'll find anyone here that thinks getting fit for your clubs is for pro's. On the contrary, I believe most folks here would tell you it's essential to get fit in order to get the most out of your game. I've been fit for the last 3 sets of irons I've played, I've ended up standard each time, but I could still couldn't imagine buying new sticks without being fit.

We have one.. and thats the kicker I have shown people the outcome. Sometimes they think that the info that comes out is tainted so I can sell them new equipment.. funny but that is how some people think here in Germany..

      Partial to the Golf Pride CP2 Pro.  Softer than a Tour Velvet and pretty durable (I play 5 times a week and they last a year or more with no issues).

      Tiger Wood's Driver Clinic (With Rory and Nelly)

      By saevel25 ·

      Tiger Wood's Driver Clinic Got this on Twitter. Which then I found the video above.  Tiger asking Rory to hit that control cut. Rory talks a bit about how he likes to stand taller, so he doesn't feel like he can shallow it with the body. Tiger puts it in his words, staying on top of the ball. Which I presume for Tiger his feel for a cut. Even the PGA Tour players have their own ways to achieve similar shots and describe it with their own swing thoughts (feels). Good insight in how PGA Tour player's develop swing feels to produce the shot they want. Could be something as simple as a posture change.

      Awesome, thank you very much for chiming in and for explaining. I will give it a try today. I was chipping in my back yard with my new irons and had a huge smile on my face from just how well they were performing, feeling and sounding compared to the old 70's blades I was playing. I look forward to giving your drill a shot!

      It’s to get a feel for the sensation of hitting the ball on the center of the club face and for hitting the ball straight.  Golf is, my opinion, about hitting the center of the club face.  A ball struck in the center of the face with a squared to the target club face is, again my opinion, the most important aspect of golf.  It provides a feel like nothing else in golf.  Swinging hard and striking the ball off the toe or heel of the club when you’re new to the game results in bad feeling shots that erode your confidence.  Hitting fifty half-swing shots and nothing else at the range lets you get back in the car and sleep on a satisfying session.  Remember, in order to play well, you must be confident.  In order to be confident, you must play well 😎.  Good luck.
