I know that i can go to pings website they have a list of ping dealers and fitters, but not all of those have great fitters. I. E. Golfsmith is listed... I want to get i20s and i am 6'6" so i wont just need standard loft and lie, so i really want to get the fitting right if im dropping $800 on good clubs. If you can personally recommend a specific dealer that would be great. My default is going to be hank haneys golf center, but they do charge a lot even if you buy your clubs through them, so i dont know if that is normal to pay a good fitter (since golfsmith applies the charge to the purchase of the clubs). Thanks in advance.

Dave Murray at D. A. Weibring's Golf Center in Plano is supposedly good. He was one of Ping's Regional Fitters of the Year in 2009. Web site is here:

I have no experience with him; I just came across his name when I was looking for a fitter.

Went to him today and ordered my i20s. He knows his stuff and I would definitely recommend him. I even got a little lesson out of it too, and he waived the fitting fee when I bought the clubs. Thanks for the tip!

I'm glad to hear it worked out for you! And I'm glad I could be of assistance.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
