Is it worth the extra money to get custom fitted for new clubs

Also note that a lot of places will wave the fitting cost if you buy the clubs that day from them.

Yeah I think most places waive the fitting cost if you purchase a set.  Regardless I think it is worth paying and getting fit so you know your specs for future sets.

Looking at your handicap it sure  is worth the money.

But as said above fitting normally is free if you purchase.

I can only say this, i was fitted twice, first i went to a golf course

where a fitting day was arranged. All the big names in clubs where there.

Later i went to my local ********* to look after the numbers given.

At the course we used trackman for the numbers.

In the shop it's the simulator.

The trackman numbers are somehow more accurate. So a fitting on the range is the best i think.

      Rory McIlroy Will Never Win the Masters

      By turtleback ·

      You DO realize that all of your prior posts in this thread are still there for folks to read?  Put the shovel down. As to best player not to have won the career grand slam, ever hear of a fellow named Sam Snead?  Or Arnold Palmer?  Or Phil Mickelson?  Or Lee Trevino?  All-time greats who were never able to complete this.  Because it's hard, and not doing it doesn't really say anything about greatness.  Or "demons".  Or being "jacked".

      I know I’m really resurrecting this thread but what do you guys think of Jason Day’s style of dead hand wedge from say 30-90 yards. You can start with a fairly vertical shaft so it still uses the bounce I think. Is speed the limiting factor here because of the lack of wrists, or would the feel of dead hands actually cause lag on the downswing and actually end up using more leading edge than bounce anyway.  I just wonder would it be easier for distance control in terms of backswing length.  Any opinions on it?

      Day 206 - 2025-04-24 Got some good partial wedge work in today. Same stuff as the full swing, but I can see why I was trying to do something a bit different.
