  1. Nope he, they did not, but it was a waste of time and I do not recommend being fitted if the fitter is just up to make a sale. I trusted all the ads and searched Club Champion. I travelled from Guam just to get fitted and I learned that at an expensive price. Now what do I do with this 5K dollar set?
  2. I think the fitter said I hit it longer
  3. I really have no answer for this question and that is what I am trying to figure out
  4. In the search for a more consistent game I have switched my grip size the way I grip the golf club and try to fix the slice all in one swoop during the pandemic. When I went to CA I decided it was time for new clubs and get a proper fitting for a set from driver, woods, hybrid , irons, wedges and putter. It took 7 weeks or more for the clubs to arrive, they felt great but realized I lost a lot of distance on the entire range from driver to wedges. These clubs felt much lighter. Now my handicap has gone from a 15.2 at the lowest with my old clubs to a 19 now with the new set. I will post a video of my swing with the new clubs. Need help GOLF CLUBS SPECS COMPARISON.pdf
  5. I was only fitted for the 7 iron and the driver which also flies so high but does not go very far. The clubs are also a bit longer than stock by 1/2". I am guessing it must be the spin. By the way the fitting was at club champion. I was also asked to hit on a lie board and they made the clubs upright by 1.5 degrees. Is there a learning curve to the new club specs? These clubs overall feel very light. It could also be my swing is not fit for the new clubs? I am confused... GOLF CLUBS SPECS COMPARISON.pdf
  6. Hi here is my scenario. I used to play with a set of PXG 0311XF GEN2 Irons (60g graphite MMT shaft) and Titleist woods (Graphite design Tour AD 7s, driver is 44" ) with a midsize grip and Vardon style grip of holding the clubs. I was doing this for 10 years. My hands would always hurt and I would put some tape around my fingers. I decided to change the grip size to standard and the way I held the club to the interlock. I noticed that my hands did not hurt and I felt I did not grip the clubs too tight. I still hit my clubs the same distance my approach wedge would go about 105 to 110 yds. maybe a tad shorter than before but no one club length. To take it a step further I went to a fitter and they changed my clubs to a Srixon ZX4 and had the KBS Tour Graphite 60g shaft in the irons they also fitted me with a Callaway Epic driver with a Diamana 40g shaft to a 45" length driver. All my clubs now have a swing weight of D3. I lost a club length in distance now my approach wedge is just like my SW about 95 yds. My ball flight is so high in all these clubs but distance is not there. Could this be me all the changes I incorporated in a few months since be the culprit? All the clubs now I hit them shorter. I incorporated all these changes in July of last year. Need help My handicap has gone from a 15.2 to a 19 from all these changes
  7. Good putting form to me is something repeatable and comfortable just like the way you grip the putter.
  8. What kind of equipment do we need to have at the bare minimum?
  9. I have been playing on and off for the last maybe 12 years and my handicap fluctuates like the tide. The friends who took up the game later than me now have single digit handicaps. I am so inconsistent, I keep hitting over the top.......just frustrated
  10. could not have said it any better
  11. I do not mind investing in some gym equipment, I have also been paying for a gym membership even to this day and have not gone to a gym for more than a year due to the pandemic....
  12. Okay will follow them Interesting, I used to go to the gym 3 times a week and one Yoga Session per week and my aches and pains from having a desk job sitting for more than 8 hours and playing gradually went away but now because of the pandemic I practice more but lost the opportunity to go back to the gym because of the threat of catching COVID 19. I appreciate all your comments but I got no idea what the exercises are called and the only things I have at home are a few barbells, stretch bands and that's it. I have weak joints and as I exercise or strengthen one joint another weak link will start to hurt like elbows and wrist.
  13. Can you help me find out what these exercises are and how to do them? is there a website? I am 58 yrs old and I realized exercise helps me avoid injury.
  14. Trying to slow down the effects of aging in my golf game by improving my technique and equipment to its full potential
