A couple of weeks ago i bought a new set of AP1 and was fitted at Golfsmith. I ended up getting standard length, S300, and 2^ upright. My previous set was DCI Gold's. I have played only two rounds with my new set so maybe i'm over reacting but i am hitting about 5-10 yrds shorter than my DCI and the new AP1's lofts are about 3^ stronger. My question is did i get fitted incorrectly or does it just take time to grow accustom to the new irons. Thanks for you help.

Were your old irons adjusted to be the same lie angle? If not that could be one reason and may take some time getting use to them.

I have been wondering the same question. I just had a fitting and have not received my clubs yet. The only thing that makes me wonder about your fitting is this...when I did my fitting, I hit many clubs with many adjustments. Once we got the adjustments right my launch numbers were awesome and my ball was flying better and more distance because the launch conditions were optimal. Everything suited my swing, so no swing adjustment is needed, cause they were adjusted to my swing. I would suggest getting fit on a launch monitor. It will give exact. I don't think you should be having to adjust with fitted clubs

its the new irons......I went from titleist MB710's with DGx100's to Miura 1957's with kbs tour shafts......I took me a few rounds to adjust and get back to normal distances....I was 10 yards shorter for about 6 rounds........if anything, have your new gear checked against your old gear......remember, there is no industry standard for length, loft and lie

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
