So, I broke down and bought a new set of Cobra S3 Max clubs a month or 2 ago.  I really like them.  I had "Stiff Steel Shafts" in my 16 year old Cobras, but I broke my wrist last year and now I don't swing near as hard and my new clubs are all Regular Graphite shafts which feel much better to my wrist.

I've been reading a lot lately and I see so many recommendations to get fitted for clubs.  A lot of people say it's the biggest positive change you can make, of course just as many seem to say it's just marketing BS unless you're really tall or really short.

I kind of have a 2 part question I guess.

#1.  Since I've already bought my clubs can they be adjusted if I were to have a fitting session?

#2.  I like the grips, I like the shafts.  I'm average height I guess 5'9" and they don't seem too long or too short and seem to lay right at address.

I found a place nearby that wants $150 for a fitting.  That doesn't include modifying clubs or anything.  That's just checking your Lie, Length, etc.

I guess I hate to spend $150 and have them tell me your clubs are fine for you since they seem fine to me.

Or the reverse, you need new shafts, new grips, new clubs, etc, after I've already dropped quite a bit on these clubs.

So I guess I don't really know what to think.  What are the criteria to get a fitting?  Should I get a fitting even though everything seems fine with the clubs?

I guess I'm just wondering if this is one of those cases where if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

I would try to find a demo day and get fit for irons there.  The $150 fitting might be more thorough but it is expensive.  You can get your clubs adjusted after the fitting session.

    • 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.
