next step in shaft fitting? other clubs in the bag?

[handlez42]

Been playing for 4 years now. And just got properly fitted for iron frequency of 6.0 (5.8 was the actual fit but I will progress im sure right into the 6) I was hitting a Nippon 950gh at +1" and was getting 3.7 frequency or something. Essentially, women's flex. I was a bit upset with who I originally ordered the irons from. (local sportstore)

new DGs300 I can thank to golf etc.

My question. We have driver fittings and iron fittings but the other clubs in the bag have just as big a market. The woods, hybrids, and wedges?

So will there be a time where we can tune those clubs as precisely as our driver and irons?

Only nod I may give is wedges are for feel. So what feels and controls best with limited drawlbacks should win. But their are so many companies with different wedge shaft designs

I hope I haven't misunderstood your question, but such fittings have been around for several years. Generic name is dynamic fitting, and one version is Golf Galaxy's Platinum Fitting. YOu get on the launch monitor and/or Trackman to determine what head + shaft you need for every club in your bag.

Driver fitting serves as a good starting point to determine clubhead speed and general shaft flex.

Irons fit in next, because numbered irons could make up half the clubs in your bag.

For wedges, Cleveland and other wedge makers periodically offer free wedge fittings. You need to decide if you want three or four wedges (or five, if you're a lo-o-ong hitter), and the distance gaps you want. Also, you can determine what bounce you need (related to  your swing) by hitting wedges off the lie board.

Hybrids and FWs, many golfers do these at the same time to determine what mix they want:

3W, 5W, 3H // 4W, 7W, 4H // 4W, 3H, 4H.

Putter fittings have become very elaborate.

You've been playing for four years, so it might time for a full-bag fitting.

Most all stores and shops around here do irons and driver but do not offer anything else. I was unaware that a 3 wood could be fit properly.

The other clubs are my wedges but im not worried about shape or bounce or loft i have all those things predetermined. My concern is the shaft for the wedges. I understand there are a number of ways to make up a wedge. Different tour type iron shafts have been mentioned. as well as spinner shafts specifically for wedges.

Im not into the idea of a wedge specific shaft as im having a hard time hitting those low ball wedge control shots into greens. There's the talk of the DG s200...which im not sure why but its a common choice
