So I've been playing my J36's for about 9 months without having them fitted. I've fallen for the clubs and can't help but wonder how much better I can hit them with a proper fitting.

I contacted the local retailer where I purchased them, and they agreed to do a fitting if I still had my receipt (I'm glad I save these things!).

What questions should I be asking? What will they be asking me? Is there anything I should bring with me besides my irons?

Do you have any older clubs that feel perfect? Whenever I get a wedge bent, I bring my Mizuno Pro 52 degree wedge (at 53 right now) because the length and lie are spot on. For irons, I bring a couple of my fa vourite blades for comparison.

It's all about results. Most golfers would rather have an ugly swing and score in the 70s than to have a beautiful swing and score in the 80s. If you are hitting those clubs Consistantly at the Distance and Direction that you want to hit them, then don't change them.

If you still want to get them fitted then go to an authorized Ping fitter. Find out what your Static measurements are. Then hit whatever ping color Demo club they say you need on the driving range. Next hit your equivalent club (normally a 6 iron) from your set. Now you can make an informed decision.

So I ended up hitting the lie board for a little bit and getting my lie adjusted 1* upright. I've only taken them to the range once since the adjustment, and I haven't really noticed anything too much different than before. Shafts are fine in flex and length (PX 6.0 flighted, standard length).

Anyone else have marginal results with a minor tweak like this?

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
