Try moving your ball position back an inch or so.

You need to hit it, not ask us. We can't answer how you will feel about a weight change in a putter. Everyone will have a different preference for how a putter feels based on numerous elements. Also remember to not jump to any conclusions based on a single putter session. I would use it at least a few separate times to allow your body to adjust to it before making a decision.

It's 95% marketing. Just highlighting the small amount of more expensive materials used or new layering methods. Need to justify charging $300 for a shaft. I have the RDX Blue in a 2 wood which I love, but honestly its very similar to the Black RDX or the Smoke, both of which I also liked. You might try a little lead tape on the head to change the feel of the shaft if you aren't loving it right now. I find that often will yield a more decisive change than just switching profiles.

Any of those would be good shafts. Seems like most people I know of who had Atmos switched over to Ventus though.

I can rattle off a bunch of other shafts that would work perfectly fine in a 5 wood. However they will in most cases have lower torque numbers, assuming you are going higher weight in the 5 wood. Are you wanting something different from the TB? I could throw out Fuji Ventus Blue or Red just because it's so popular and most people seem to love it, but there are hundreds of shafts out there and a good number will work for most people if you get the weight correct.

Okay so starting with the irons. I would never in a million years pay $90 per shaft to have them build these club. Those shafts retail for $45 so there's a bit of a markup. Also they are offered as a free shaft option from Callaway so double down on that no way. The grips they also mark up 50%. The driver and fairway shafts are tricky because they are shafts made specifically for True Spec. Guessing they probably didn't disclose that to you. That means the already high shaft margins will be even higher. The KBS hybrid shafts will retail at $125 I believe. I would have the manufacturer build everything. If you are really worried about it, you can have them measured out after receiving them to check if the specs are right. In most cases though I doubt you would even notice any slight issues that would in most cases fall within the build tolerances.

Can you send me the prices also so I know how to frame my response. Also what weight LZ shaft were you fit into. Don't think I saw that.

Feel free to share your buildout sheet if you want a second opinion.

Don't like Club Champion. Not a fan of Bryson. Seems like a good match. Heck I wouldn't be surprised to see Cobra dump him at some point soon. Not really sure he helps the brand at this point. Cobra really needs a new horse to hitch their wagon to.

Not sure you read my post? I said the age has little to no impact on forgiveness. The physical design of that type of head does. The sub zero line will always be less forgiving. Any forward CG head will be. Think of the Taylormade SLDR. Maybe the longest driver ever created, but no one could hit it for that same reason.

There are more forgiving drivers out there. However this has very little to do with the age of the club and everything to do with the fact that it's the sub zero model. The forward CG models will always be less forgiving but will offer the greatest distance on well struck shots. You have to decide what matters more while also taking into consideration spin rate and launch height.

Please share your build sheet with us once you get it.

Check out what the best drivers on tour are using. In most cases they are still using a shaft that is many years old. Rahm, McIlroy, DJ, Brooks. Yes, they might dabble in something different but they almost always go back to the original.

I see this said all the time about how someone isn't good enough for exotic shafts. The point with all this is you don't need exotic shafts regardless of skill level. Go look how many tour pros are playing iron shafts that are stock option models. Most are playing Dynamic Gold (stock option). Admittedly it's the Tour Issue version, but that is purely a weight sorting designation. The rest are spread between Project X, Nippon Modus3, and KBS Tour or Taper shafts. Not one of these fall into the category of exotic and these are the very best players in the world.

Don't even know what that means. It just sounds good for them to say. The shafts they use are no different from the upgrade shafts that you can order direct from the OEMs. Of course they charge you 30% over MSRP on these shafts at least. I've tip toed around saying this other places but I will say it here. CC is a scam and if you go there thinking you are going to get a legitimate unbiased fitting, you are just completely wrong. To be fair, it's not just CC. True Spec, Cool Clubs, etc have all now realized they can pull the same cons and get away with it, so they are all doing it. Go to an indépendant fitter or fit yourself. Even a big box store I have more belief in the integrity of their fitting process.

The Alta shaft is counterbalanced meaning there is extra weight positioned towards the grip end. Ping makes all their heads heavier and uses this CB shaft idea to balance out the swing weight. When you switch into a "standard" shaft, the swing weight goes up b/c the extra weight is no longer in the grip area, hence you see the D6 SW. Of course you can buy lighter weights for the Ping if you want the weight brought back down as some people will consider D6 a bit too heavy. It's all personal preference of course so D6 might be what you need to help your AoA. All that being said, you don't need the $400 shaft to accomplish this, any shaft other than the Alta CB will give you higher SW values. Might want to get some lead tape and put it on the bottom of your current driver, and see if the heavier SW changes your AoA/ball flight.

The fitter would not like that!

Leave it to Club Champion to come up with some completely random shaft that won't make any difference except cost you an extra $400. Get the Ping driver with the stock 50g shaft option. Be aware the Alta shaft is counterbalanced so that may be different. Would be interested to know what swing weight the Ping w/ 1K was at so you can match that up.

Wow. I was not expecting dry erase vs permanent to be the idealogical battle of the day!! Lots of good ideas here. Personally I will use whatever I have on hand. Either one works. If hitting short irons or you are more of a digger, the permanent seems to hold on the face better, but as mentioned above you can also hit off mats and not have those issues. If you have a darker finish face that is hard to see, you can masking tape the face to do the test.

Check them with a sharpie line test and see what your dynamic lie is with those clubs. Then you can decide if you want to adjust them flat or are happy with the ball flight from them.

I hope more and more people are figuring this stuff out, taking those CC fitting sheets to other fitters and getting fit the right way. I just don't get how someone can look at those prices and be ok with that??

Yeah. I say bad fitters in the video like I am referring to individual people, but really I am talking about certain fitting companies who I didn't want to call out by name specifically.

I did. Thanks for watching!

Just wanted to thank the people who provided me with some of their fitting build sheets. Hopefully don't mind that I used them in my newest video highlighting some of the questionable practices going on with some fitters. I of course removed any personal info and never mention any of the fitters by name. Unfortunately this stuff is happening far too often to not be called out by someone. If you want to see it.

Appreciate all the support! Thanks for the support!!
