If your current putter works for you and you're happy with it, keep it. Last summer I bought my Kenny Giannini G4 and absolutely fell in love. It will be a very long time before I look to swap out my current putter.

I currently play the Callaway Apex's and love them. The top line was a hair thicker but it definitely fits my eye and it was far and away the best iron I was fitted for. I also tested the Titleist AP 1 & 2 and a Mizuno set that was released the year before the JPX-EZ Forged. A combo set between the Apex Pro and Apex could be a good way to go. Definitely get fit no matter what director you go in.

Went through a proper fitting last year and I don't see me replacing my Kenny Giannini anytime soon. Equipment isn't everything but I've never had this much confidence in my flat stick on the greens. 5+ years for sure!

My swing speed is also in the 105-109 range and after a fitting I purchased the Alpha 815 with the Aldila Tour Rogue Silver stiff shaft (69g). I have always battled a slice, nothing crazy and at times more like a fade that I start to far right, but my during my fitting we discovered that my old driver, TaylorMade R11 w/ a ProForce V2 stiff shaft (66g), was not doing me any favors. The ProForce was too light and I was not getting the face to shut properly which started my ball much further right compared to where I was lined up. During my fitting, I experimented with the heavier shaft (69g) and set the Alpha to +1, Draw. I immediately saw the difference and my numbers backed it up in every category; smash factor, launch angle, spin, etc... The decision was also made to cut the shaft down to 45" from 45.5" and even though I was a little apprehensive about those .5", my control and distance are both better for it. My first round with the new driver I didn't love the ball flight as I felt my tee shots were ballooning and not really peaking down range. My next time out I flipped the core down and I immediately fell in love with this driver. The ball flight really fit my eye and I was definitely longer compared to the Taylormade (I had the course to myself for 90% of the round and was able to hit multiple tee balls with both drivers). I have always been a TaylorMade guy but this is easily the best driver I have ever had in my bag. I could not be happier with the purchase! I also tested the DBD but I was more consistent with the model I bought and after close to a dozen rounds, it was definitely the smart decision.

I LOVE my G-4. Part of it may be mental because I have a ton of confidence with my putter, but my putting has drastically improved this summer. I've played and practiced more which obviously helps but I don't think it would be fair to overlook what a proper fitting and confidence can do for your game. I stayed with the stock grip and I don't see my self going to the SuperStroke.

That's exactly what I did! Those golf store are my adult version of Toys 'R' Us

I use the Croosline ACE 3Gen and I love these grips

A proper fitting is definitely the way to go, and based on your post something you already know. I bought new irons earlier this year and I went in with the same mindset of moving to a, "players iron." After the fitting I walked away with the Apex's and I absolutely love the choice I made. Great turf interaction and I can still work the ball even though they were labeled a GI. Before buying I tested the AP1's and 2's, Mizuno JPX-825 and the Apex's.

I bought a new putter back in May and I went in with the intention of buying a Scotty (it was a birthday gift so budget was not a concern). After hitting the Scotty's, Bettinardi's, Odyssey's and Kenny Giannini's I left with the Giannini G-4 No Neck. Loved the way it felt in store and had a great fitting experience. I've never been this confident on the greens and my game has reflected that. Not saying it's all the putter but I have shaved two strokes off my handicap since April. The Giannini line is slightly cheaper but not by much.

That's hysterical because I always walk away with multiple cards when I play with larger groups. I've tried an iPhone app a handful of times but call me old fashioned because I'm always pulled back to marking up a card. I work in Mercer county and I'm sure there will be a weekend or maybe an summer day that we could link up.

Hey everyone, I joined the site back in April but I figured I would take the opportunity to introduce myself. I have been playing golf for about nine years but I have put a lot of time into my game over the last four years. My goal is to drop my handicap into the single digits and I'm on my way shaving a stroke off already this season (went from 13.9-12.2). Once in a while I struggle with my driver off the tee and my old friend "slice" makes an appearance. For good and sometimes bad I can be a stat junkie as I track FIR's, GIR's, Up/Down, sand saves and putts during my rounds. I love reading everything golf and through other gift subscriptions I'm pretty sure I will be receiving Golf Digest until I retire 30 some years from now. I mostly play the local county courses but I am hoping to join with a great practice facility one day.

My dad has worn his contours for over 18 months and he LOVES them. He has never had a bad thing to say about them.

I would agree that some slipping can be caused by an unbalanced swing but I've always been a little more comfortable with spiked shoes. I have had my DNA's for a little over two weeks and I absolutely love them. I have the all white shoe and I might even add another color (red) or the all black option.

Thanks for the response and the pic. I wonder if he switches back at some point after the Open if he doesn't see the results he is looking for?
