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:

      Pitching

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.

      Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
