hello - why isn't there more tour edge fitters? I live in md and I noticed over the last couple of Years that tour edge is dropping of the map. I have owned a few tour edge products: bazooka 10.5 driver = ok. no real pop off the face but got me streight, I replaced this club with a r11 for distance, then replaced the r11 with a xhot 10.5 driver which got the ball up higher for me but less distance. my xhot vs bazooka driver, xhot a few more yards and more pop of the face. bazooka 3 w. not bad but I used this club in my 2nd year of playing and never gave it a chance, I replaced the bazooka with a higher lofted callaway diablo 3 w that worked wonders for me same second year of golfing, i now game a 4 wood xhot that is real nice. bazooka 7 w. this club is my f- ing hammer, this club is my go to it has never left my bag. when I hit it wrong, bad, good, great, I can tell you excactley where the face and the ball met. with this club I can tell what I did with my swing, I can feel if if the face is open closed, forced shut or pushed open. now that i am getting my score down from the high mid 90's into the high mid 80's using my swing I am starting to wish I had more chances to try more clubs like my 7 w, I'm in my 4th year, I'm shooting in the 80's, I got my irons pretty good with ping g20s,. but I'm feeling like I could improve more if I could get all my clubs working like my 7w. any suggestions? is it the shaft? face? what do I need to do to find clubs that match my 7w?

Tour Edge operates out of the suburbs of Chicago, and has its best presence in the Midwest. Check out the TE website, look under fitters and plug in your ZIP code to find one.

In Maryland, try out Arundel Golf Park in Glen Burnie.

Note: Not all dealers are fitters.

I played a TE Bazooka 3W and 5W from 2002 to 2008 with good success. I stopped using them when I went from stiff to regular shafts. Used other FWs until this spring, and had iffy results.

In May, I bought a TE Exotics XRail 4W and 7W, and am having much better performance from fairway woods.

As for your overall game, you might get a fitting for your long clubs - this can help you find the best head + shaft combo

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.  
    • Distances look fine, no?
    • Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
    • Trackman place today. I broke my tripod so could only film by hand the video the venue’s cameras generated. This is an 8 iron. Amazing how odd this feels relative to how it looks. Not similar!
