Hi

I am in the market for new irons. I have been playing on and off for a while and has always used of the rack clubs or hand me down (I was a poor student for a long time...) Now I want to get my first set of "quality" golf clubs. I am thinking Callaway X20.

According to Callaways' custom fitting chart I would need club shafts of standard lenght and 2* up. Am I reading the chart correctly?

I am 6' 0 tall + wrist to floor = 36.5'

Any comments?

thanks


Alex

Alex,

Forget wrist to floor, that's just a starting point and doesn't mean anything for clubfitting. You can be 5'4" and stand very tall or 6'5" and bend over. How will wrist to floor translate that into your golf swing?

The key to golf is a dynamic fitting where you can see the full ball flight. Order the irons you want and then get fit dynamically off a lie board.

Alex,

exactly....dynamic fittings outdoor are the only way to go! I fit a guy who was 5'6" +1/2 inch and 1* upright and he's never hit the ball better. Every big box retailer looked at him and said he didnt need to be fit because they knew his specs would be -1/2inch and 2*flat.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
