hello fellow golfers...new here as of this morning....I'm a soon to be 59 yr old golf addict and I've been looking for the right place to share info with fellow addicts. This looks like the right place ! I play all over the central Fingerlakes region and am a member at Bonavista G.C. in Ovid. We have had an extraordinary winter here for golfing and I'll be playing today Feb 9 with temps in the mid forties. My avatar pic is of my son and I playing on New Years day with temps in the mid 50's. Looking forward to getting and offering whatever advice and info i can here. Cheers

    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too. 
    • I replaced a 3 driving iron as it was called. If I hit it clean it went close to 180 like the hybrid does but it was very inconsistent. I had to aim left because it would fade and I could never hit it dead nuts straight. We have a lot of wind being by the ocean so a left to right wind was suicidal with that club for me. I don't have a lot of Shot Scope data so far that would show yardage as far as dispersion or proximity to hole goes, but so far everything is staying relatively tight. I am not spraying the ball, I feel like it goes where I aim, any thing off is user error and not the club. 
    • Ok, great. Best of luck to you in the future. I gave you the answer for significantly less than $20k though, just sayin.
