I have lost 50lbs since last October.  Needless to say with the change in my body, my swing has changed.  I went from a 5 to and 8 and now I am back down to a 3.  I see a TPI pro who is working on my hip flexibility since I used my arms so much when I was so heavy.

I want to trim those 3 strokes all this spring and summer.  One thing he has noticed filming me is my clubs really don't fit my new swing.  Since it is the winter, I want to go somewhere and get fit.

I am an equipment nut.  However, I do have preferences.  I don't really like TM, but have played with Titleist, Callway, Mizuno, Ping.

Where can I go to get fit from top to bottom?  I know there is a Callaway place in Las Vegas and a Titleist place in Mass.  I just want what works.  Any thoughts?

Congratulations on your weight loss.  Each of the four companies you list as companies you like do extensive fitting, typically at demo days and fitting days.  Where are you located, geographically?

Doesnt Titleist have a facility in California also? I know Ping is in Arizona. Anyways...you should be able to go to any reputable PGA Pro to get fit.

There is a Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, CA.     You'll find all the info on their website under the part called "Titleist Tour Fitting", including contact phone number, schedule, map, etc.

I thought so. That's about as first class as it gets.

Thanks, I am really leaning toward going to CA or Mass and doing the Titleist fitting.  Have a friend who recommended Scott Felix in Memphis.  Anyone know about him?

Do you trust your friend in terms of golf? If so, I'd go get fir over there. Memphis is pretty close to where you live, or much closer than the Titleist fitting centers in CA or Mass.

However, if you want to experience the tour type fitting, I'd drive to Massachusetts and get fit over there. California is a long way from where you live.

Not sure you have to go that far to get decently fitted. A couple of possible leads in your area here:

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
