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.

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
