So a little back story dad played golf tell he was drafted, stopped playing when I was born. I grew up watching golf thurs-sun every week of my life. I got into it a little in high school just played off and on using other peoples golf clubs i worked with. Since the years have been bad to me for head injuries I had to give up a lot of activities So, I picked up golf as a hobby/sport. I have been do 2 different ping fitters and got 2 totally separate fittings.

I am 5'7 with with Wrist to Floor or 33"

Fitter One; Quoted me at 2* Up-Right, Black Dot, Std Length (Graphite Stiff), Std Grip

Fitter Two; 2* Up-Right, Red Dot, -.25/-.5" (Graphite Stiff), Aqua Grip

I am just wondering if I should go back to them and get a final fitting or should I try a different place. I kind am tired of using off the shelf clubs and been wanting to finally get a set of fitted clubs to finally fine tune myself. I have taken lessons over the years and finally going to bite the bullet for a good set of clubs. I have never really went to fitters just changed on the fly with using old clubs (pre-1980) and off the shelf Wilson's.

Thanks for the Help

Was this a PING fitting?  I would try again or check with another fitter.  Do you feel you were swinging the same both days?  The most important part is you feeling comfortable with the fitting.  This will give you more confidence on the course.

It was a ping fitting. This Sunday they are having Ping Demo and they will be having their fitters fitting people that show up I am thinking about dropping by and confirming with the people that deal with it everyday. Don't really want to commit a big purchase without a good fit.

Good idea.  I would do the same.  Ping make excellent clubs too. You want to be happy with your purchase.  Have fun and take your time.
