They manufacture stock clubs based on average static measurements, like height and wrist to floor. Problem is, fittings need to be done dynamically, because what really matters is how the club is brought down at impact. I don't get what you're trying to say here. You're saying people are better off not getting fit because getting fit might end up with clubs that won't work for them? That was what I was going to say about people who buy stock clubs without getting fit :blink:

In saying it's not necessary for the beginner/high capper to get an iron fitting, unless they're particularly not average in stature, and if they do, they are likely to end up with a set of clubs that will not benefit them. I believe an iron fitting is only beneficial to the better/mid capper!

I might be inclinded to believe. But wen u hit a good shot w a badly fit club.. You can end up lying to yourself thinking you are hitting something straight when you've actually manipulated the swing in order to hit it straight when if it was a properly fitted club would b a fade or a draw depending on the person... Also you start seeing bigger players on tour because of the availability for fitted club for the less fortunate.. And average person has opportunity to get some good clubs..

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
