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:

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
