new iron and fitting question...

[andre112]

Sorry guys, I know there are a lot of these treads.
But I do need some advice.

I'm in the market of getting a new set of irons.
I had my pro did a simple Ping fitting session with me during my lesson.
Basically he only put impact tapes at the sole, and looked at where the markings are and the ball flight.
In the end, he determined that I need standard length, 2 deg flat, and regular flex.

I'm pretty much decided to get Nickent's 3DX Pro.
So I was wondering whether I should go through another fitting session on launch monitor in Golf Town (major Canadian golf store) or just order away?

Have you actually hit any balls with these clubs vs the clubs that your pro used for the club fit? You didn't post your handicap, so I am guessing you are just getting started in golf or at least starting to get serious about it. Getting a club fit from your pro is a great first step which a lot of people fail to do. If you like the looks of the clubs I would at least test drive a club even if it is indoors before dropping some $$$. Clubs are a personal taste kinda thing. If you feel comfortable with the club fit and like the clubs go for it. Good luck.

Get fit again for the Nickets if you will be getting them. Not all of the manufacturers default specs are the same, so you may need the Pings 2 flat but the Nickents may be 1 flat by default in comparison to the pings.

I would definatley get fit though. And make sure they do it right, some "PROs" will try to kind of slide by and not do a 100% fitting job if you dont know what is usually involved.

For instance I was at Golf Galaxy and asking the again "pro" about fitting me for the pings. He said, 'well we have this color chart so we can go by that', again I asked, so are you going to fit me for them? Again he referenced the chart, I referenced my wish to not pay him $50 to read a chart for me and told him I will be going someplace else for my clubs.

Thanks, Gapwedge.

I've hit most of the clubs I would considered buying. My pro suggested me to get i5 because they only do ping. I haven't compared them side to side though. They feel similar as far as I remember but I do like the look of those nickents. My concern is more about what shafts I should go with these clubs.

Thanks, Wolverine.

We did an ok fitting session as I mentioned in my original post. Even though he didn't put any impact tape on the club face, he could probably see with the ball flights. I'll watch out for chart readers when I get fit with Golf Town. Thanks
