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.

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
