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?

    • Yeah, there are two things I don't quite get about that one though: How do you schedule your day? If you think it's a 30-minute lesson and it turns into 90 minutes… what happens to the person coming in after that? It takes time to prep for a lesson. Taken to an extreme, imagine a person buys "60 minutes" and then wants to show up and take 30 2-minute lessons. Those two-minute lessons probably really take 12 minutes… with five or six minutes on the front end reviewing your previous lesson notes and videos and five or six on the tail end documenting that lesson. Maybe Jayson does something to account for that… but I still don't know how he manages the first.
    • Good advice.  When you see a golfer taking short steps, looking down at the ground, it's probably checking for temporary water.  There are plenty of cases were just hitting it from the bad lie is better than where you would drop it. Like hitting of a cart path.   
    • Yea I find it ridiculous people having an issue that he could drop in the fairway. Every relief situation is its own instance. You re-assess after a drop. Sometimes the drop is in your favor or not.  Too many scramble only golfers commenting on golf rulings. Usually scrambles you need to maintain the same lie if you hit with in a club length of the ball. 😉  
    • MSN J. J. Spaun relief from sprinkler head under fire for not being in the spirit of the game. While I understand the advantage he gains by dropping a ball that ended up in rough in the fairway doesn't seem to kosher in lot of people's eyes, but I suspect this happens more often than lot of people realize and players take the entitled relief every time when the opportunity present itself. Not fair to call him out as a person of 'no integrity' IMO.  A lot of people do not know that both fairway and rough are part of the same general area and ROG does not distinguish them as far as relief is concerned.
