Got a new fitted set: Driver, 3w, 3h, 4-PW about a month and a half ago and am not back to the scores I was getting with my old clubs. Was around an 9 handicap with the old clubs and around 12 now.  Just wondering how long it took some of you to fully adjust to a new set?

Play about 54 holes a week and hit 300-500 range balls a week. So I am putting a fair amount of time in

everyone is different but it also depends what your old clubs were like compared to ur new clubs. you couldve had game improvement clubs last time and the ball was going higher and a little farther than with your new irons, same could go for the hybrid as well as some of them, such as the burner 2.0, are easy to launch and really get the ball up there. Whereas a better player set of irons and hybrids will have a lower trajectory and some more workability. Best thing you can do is just keep playing and maybe ur 170 out and usually hit a 7 iron, try hitting a 6 iron or an 8 depending on which one would work best for you but use the exact same swing and it will be easier to check your distances

I just got new clubs and immediately noticed improvement. Shot my best round of the year the first time out with them. Not giving all the credit to the new irons for that because my tee shots were good but I noticed a big improvement. Was able to get the ball higher and make it stay on the green. I guess it depends on the clubs.

Same thing happened to me. Was a 12 with rounds in the mid 80s. Now a 14, with 5 straight in the 90s. Very frustrating.

I'm about a month and a half to 2 months into my new setup, and I can say I've only figured out my 4-wood.  all my irons are well short from where they used to be on my old set, except for my 6 iron which is spot on, maybe a bit further than my old 6.  I'm not expecting to have them dialed in asap, as it takes some time.  It does get frustrating, but it happens.

When I got my KZG ZOs it took me like 3 months to get used to them. I just retired them after about 12 years with them. I recently got some Cleveland CG16s and it took me about 1.5 months to be comfortable with them. Game did not get worse though.

Other than possibly having to get used to hitting the clubs different distances, I don`t really believe in much of an adjustment period ASSUMING they are the right clubs for you.

I am not saying that they are the wrong clubs as there are a lot of other factors that could cause your handicap to go up, but if they are the right clubs for you, you should already have made the necessary adjustments (i.e. different distances).

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
