Got Fitted Today

[iPutt]

Today for the first time in my golfing career I went to get custom fitted for a club. I found a great shop from Golf Digest's top 100 list of fitters that was right near my town. All I can say is, wow. It was honestly all I could have hoped it could be and more. Now I finally realize why everyone says that getting fitted is the best thing that you can do for your game. I will never again be buying a club any other way. This place made me feel like I was getting ready for the PGA tour with all the different cameras and machines that they had to analyze my launch angle, spin, shaft kick, and more. My only complaint is that I need to wait 2 weeks for the club! I have no doubt in my mind however that it will be worth it and it will be one of the most comfortable clubs in my bag. Just wanted to share with everyone how essential it is to get fitted and how I can now understand the hype.

How dare you tell us about your fitting, but not tell us what clubs you are getting? Any big changes in shaft/head selection?

Hahaha of course, I got the Titleist 910 F with the Diamana Regular Flex shaft. My main complain with my old 3-wood was the balooning even when hit well, most people said it was because of the light flex in the shaft. After some analyzing by the club fitter, turns out that even though I swing at around 90ish mph, I don't flex the club in the right places to warrant a stiff shaft. The main problem was the head on my old club since it was a million years old and the 910F brought my spin down on avg by 2500 rpms (my old 3 wood produced the spin of a 6-iron). I also found out that some other 3-woods that I tried out at golf galaxy didn't feel right to me because heavier heads to me don't fit my swing which has pretty good tempo.

Overall, get fitted and you'll find out things even you don't know about your own game!

I'll skip the fitting for now. My wife and my wallet don't want to know about it!
