Hot Stix Tour/Player Fitting

[jimbo2007]

I'm going to be in Scottsdale for a week in April and was wondering if anyone has been to their performance center for a full works fitting.

I've been toying around with upgrading from my RAC OS's and have been working my way through some demo's the last couple of weeks, but am now debating whether to splurge (or have family hook me up with hot stix gift certificates for christmas ) on a full works analysis/fitting.

Any experiences appreciated.

I have not been there but...my friend and his son went there last spring. He was playing pretty high end american clubs as was his son.

First they tested all their clubs and found out their clubs were garbage. The shaft flexes ranged from ladies to XXX stiff in the same set, and in no particular order. Their lie angles were as much as 2 degrees too flat up to 3 degrees too upright, all in no order and in the same set. They then tested and fit them for new clubs. They recommended several different clubs to each to choose with the recommended shaft combo for each set. They did the same with every other club in the bag as well. The charge for this was $400 each player. Then my friend bought clubs from them. He says they were hand assembled, with the shaft frequencies matched, the shafts were pured etc. I believe each set, wedges, irons, hybrid, fairway woods and driver ended up costing about $2800 a set.

My friend said the results are amazing. His 3 iron and wedge feel and swing exactly the same. His handicap dropped from 10 to 5 in a month or so. His son, a high school senior dropped from a 4 hdcp to a plus 3, was the 2nd place finisher in the state HS championships and won a college scholarship.

a friend of mine whos playing college golf just got fitted over there, he hadnt been fit for clubs in several years. Off the top of my head he said that his shaft frequencies were alllll over the place, and the lie angles had gotten completely messed up, even his putter needed to be bent. They tossed the shafts and refit some frequency matched rifles, got all the lies back to spec, and from what he said it was a great experience. These are guys who clearly know their stuff, hey if u have the time and $$ why not give it a try??
