You won't find this is any videos or anything, but watch Tiger when he's hitting driver and needs a few extra yards off the tee. He will snap his left leg straight just before impact, causing his hips to clear faster, causing everything to increase in speed.

No, he hasn't done that since he had knee surgery. Many believe it's this move that primarily led Tiger to leave Butch and sign with Hank.

You have to solidify your technique. If you spend enough watching a lot of am's you'll see a lot of compensating moves which force them to swing the club more slowly than they are capable of. Heck, I've seen juniors with close to 120mph swing speeds.

Yeh, I am only 13 and am only 172cm tall and weigh 60kg. My swing speed with a driver is around 105-110 mph.

      It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.

      I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?

      A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too.

      My Non-technical Review of the Titleist Tr2 Hybrid

      By snapfade ·

      I replaced a 3 driving iron as it was called. If I hit it clean it went close to 180 like the hybrid does but it was very inconsistent. I had to aim left because it would fade and I could never hit it dead nuts straight. We have a lot of wind being by the ocean so a left to right wind was suicidal with that club for me. I don't have a lot of Shot Scope data so far that would show yardage as far as dispersion or proximity to hole goes, but so far everything is staying relatively tight. I am not spraying the ball, I feel like it goes where I aim, any thing off is user error and not the club.

      Ok, great. Best of luck to you in the future. I gave you the answer for significantly less than $20k though, just sayin.
