Did a dynamic fitting with a Mizuno rep today.  I'm 6'3" with a fairly steep swing, definitely more of a hitter than a sweeper.  I've been playing with off-the-rack equipment and this told me a lot about the importance of custom fitting.

The Mizuno process is really cool. You hit a few balls with this special shaft filled with sensors that measures a bunch of factors in your swing. A device mounted to the special club spits out a bunch of numbers. The rep plugs those numbers into Mizuno's fitting software and it tells you the three best shafts for your swing (in no particular order). Then you hit off a lie board to determine proper angle for you.  I used a JPX 850 6 iron for the fitting.

My shaft recommendations were Dynamic Gold X100 ss, Project X 6.0, and KBS X ss (didn't say which KBS shaft - guessing C-Taper based on the other recommendations). Also I need +1/2 inch length and 3* upright lie.  The rep built me a 6 iron with each shaft to my specs and WOW!

I might be getting some new bats after all...

Now I have to decide between JPX 850 5-PW, JPX 850 5-6 & 850 Forged 7-PW, JPX EZ 5-PW, and JPX EZ 5-6 & EZ Forged 7-PW.  Or wait for a demo day and try different brands with my specs.  I have a soft spot for Mizuno though because even their cast clubs feel good with a good strike.  And I love Tour Edge Exotics.

And I ended up ordering a set of Callaway Razr X Tours with my specs on callawaypreowned.com.  Can't go wrong with a 50% trade enhancement.
