Ive been golfing for a few years now. I consider myself to be a decent golfer. I'm a 15 handicap. I've always been skeptical of having a fitting when purchasing clubs. I'm a pretty good golfer I can figure this out on my own. Boy, was I wrong. A manufacturer had a demo day at the course I played today. I spent about 20 minutes trying different shafts,heads, and lofts. What worked best was a flex, shaft, and loft I never would have considered on my own. Added 20 to 25 yards consistently with no change in my swing. I was shocked. I am now a fitting convert and will use on my next club purchases.

i went and tried some 'test' irons the other day and the shop pro offered to give me a fitting, i was a bit nervous but it was worth it. i use an older wilson fat shaft iron, i tried 4 different types of set up and found nike slingshots helped me hit 5 yards longer on average, but almost straight as a rod. they didnt have my build fitment in store for a complete set so they got ordered in and will be here in a week.

itts an amazing thing and i feel it gives me a definite advantage on reducing my handicap.

    • Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.
    • Day 300 (!): did a stack session. 
    • Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.
    • but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
