Demo day questions

[Alohaed]

Just copied this to it's proper subject in "The Pro Shop".

Hi,

For anyone who has actually been to demo days....  I will be experiencing my first demo day. Mizuno will be at 2 driving range/courses in my area. I want to test their new fairway wood. Will also test the Ping G15 before that. Is demo day any different than any other fitting?  I am also worried about something. Since these will be taking place a one driving range only, the other at a course(assuming at their range), will they be using range balls? And if so, can one get properly fitted using these, since they lack distance and any other true ball qaulities such as tracetory, spin rate, etc?  When I was fitted at my pro shop for my irons, they used Pro-V 1s,  And lastly is purchasing at a demo day worth it?

I like demo day but you have to remember demo day is basically a circle jerk for equipment junkies.  All the reps tell you exactly what you want to hear and more often then not this is the one place where launch monitors are juiced a bit.

What i like about it is that you can try out just about anything and it's all there.

LM numbers on these days are generally 10% exaggerated IMO.  Most units have some calibration.  If your selling clubs you want your potential customers to feel like they are hitting it further with your stuff.  Get 5 reps with LM and watch the numbers soar.
