Haven't heard back from the fitter at the course yet but I should be going in for a fitting this Thursday. I'm pretty excited as the only fitting I have ever had was at dicks and the guy pretty much told me that he doesn't do driver fittings because they are pointless and that why would I need a driver fitting when pros play an off the rack driver without being fitted. 

Anyways, curious as to what is all going to go into it? I'm getting fit for irons (ap1 or ap2), wedges, hybrid, driver. 

I'm not to saavy with shafts out in the market as I've always played the stock shaft on whatever club I'm playing. 

Now will the fitter actually swap out different shafts on the clubs? Bend the clubs up or down? Play with weights on the driver? Not actually sure what goes into it but I'm curious to know what it will all involve.

I got fit for a Titleist driver a few months back.  We tried different shafts, shaft lengths, and heads on a launch monitor at the Roger Dunn (by a Titleist rep, not just someone at the store).  I think we did some swing weight experimentation too.  I'm very happy with the result and will be going to the same guy for hybrid fitting in the next few months.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

The blunt answer is to talk to him and ask straight up what kind of fitting tech and options he has, and what goes into a fitting. If you want to do it in a more roundabout way, go into the Titleist site and either find him directly or type in your zip code and find him there. They list what equipment each fitter has in broad terms: the Surefit bag, Surefit cart, fitting center, etc., and explains what each of those is.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
