After hitting every iron that appealed to me I'm ready to get fitted. I have the choice between outdoor on a range or indoor with the hi-tech equipment.
Pros and cons?

Thanks in advance.

I just bought my Ping G10s and was fitted outdoors on the range. I don't totally trust monitors, so I'm glad that I was fitted outside. The flight of the ball doesn't lie. The only way I would rather do an indoor fitting is if there were inclement weather (i.e. wind) that would affect the flight of the ball.

What irons are you buying? Just curious...

Blastin Bob,

Always outdoors. As mentioned above, your eyes don't lie. Just make sure you know your distances and you're using the good range balls and not the dimple-less, cracked, and cut ones.

Always outside, and try to hit off grass and not mats. The flight of the ball is big when your trying to figure out which shaft to get too. I had stiffs fitted for myself when I was indoor, then luckily, I went to a different fitter who took me outside and said the flight of my ball along with my swing speed suggested I needed to be hitting x-stiff not stiff. Hope this helps...

Also, I see that your in Long Beach. Go to the Roger Dunn in L.B. or Anaheim to get fitted, they have outdoor ranges there. Let me know how it goes...

Definetly outdoor, on a range. You need to be able to see the ball flight, trajectory, spin and so on. You can still be fitted just as well, and be able to test off different lies as well. They can still use a launch monitor/fitting tape outside anyway.

Ping I-10's, X-Forged was a close 2nd.

Thanks for the info. RD in Long Beach was going to be my choice for the outdoor. The teacher I use teaches at the Learning Center where RD is located. Bob

      Day 14:  I hit a bucket with my 7i and driver, didn’t hit my 7 well but my driver was good.  Played my first “real” 9 holes.  Sure, I had a few mulligans but I kept score.  Lost two balls in the water.  Had to chip from the edge of the water and did pretty good, just rolled too far past the hole.  Par was 33 and I wasn’t double but  I was closer to it than I would have liked.  I had a bogey on 9 so that ended it on a sweet note for me.

      Day 134 - Had a tournament today, played poorly. Same as yesterday where the driving was great, but the second shots were awful. Need to dial that in tomorrow so I don’t finish DFL.

      Day 313: range session. Worked on my feel for getting my hips more open/rotated at impact. Then did a stack session.
