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 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
