So, I entered a profile into the profile page Male;Left;9;5'10";35";7.5"3", and ended up with clubs like:

  1. Driver: G 10.5; Alta 55; Stiff; 45.75"; 5L Round in Aqua
  2. FW wood: 5W; Alta 65; Stiff; standard; 5L Round
  3. Irons: i; Yellow; N.S. Pro Modulus3 105; Stiff;Standard;5L; Aqua
  4. Wedges: Glide; Yellow; CFS Wedge; Wedge; Standard; Dyla-wedge; Aqua

Looks like I can use off the rack stuff in Stiff, is this accurate enough to not need an actual fitting? What would change if I went into a proper Ping fitter?

Just curious to see if I should get a proper fitting or just use depend upon a launch monitor and a Golfsmith salesman and the web fitting program? If the answer is the fitting route, how much better is it really than Golfsmith?

I used the online fitting for the wedge member review last year.  It went well and I think they fit me well.

That having been said, Ping will be having plenty of demo days in the not-too-distant future near us;  if your purchase can wait a few weeks, consider going to one of those and getting them to fit you there.  Free and probably better than online.

Thanks, I heard about the traveling Ping Van. I also could use some new wedges.

I did the website fitting as well as fittings by 2 separate fitters just to see if the could come to the same conclusions and recommendations. I was more or less set on Ping irons but not sure which ones. The color code shaft and model were the same by both fitters. Made me feel better at least and I am happy with my choices

Cool that you did that.

Was the on line fitting was about the same as the two fitters as well?

      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.
