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.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
