OT : Ever get fitted for Golf Clubs?
Have you ever been fitted for Golf Clubs?
If so , how much has it improved your game?
I've been playing with a $200 Starter
Set for about 5 years now and am ready
to upgrade.
Hopefully I can make time this week and
get it done at Miles of Golf. I was wondering what
to expect other than paying a lot of $$$.

If I were a golfer with swing flaws and wasn't super consistent, lessons are a better use of your money.
If you can consistently hit the same shot, and you're comfortable with your swing, get fitted.

Haaaaa! I'm a dope. Sausage fingers and I didn't even know what you were talking about upon first read. Noooooow, I get it. I'm an idiot.
touch your junk.
Well, that would explain why it seemed strange that the dude fitting me for clubs kept asking if I wished to be fitted with a cup as well, even though I told him that I found the idea of wearing a cup for golf a little ludicrous. He seemed undeterred and was just about to get out the tape whem back away.
I remember the first real good suit I got fitted for and the tailor asked me if I dressed right or left. I'm like WTF and my future wife who was with me whispered in me ear what he meant. I had no idea a tailor would take that into consideration. .
There is only one place you should go for your golf needs and that is...
What's the name of that shop and do they buy golf clubs?
I'm not sure. I'll have to rewatch it to try and gather some clues on exactly what it is that this guy does.
I used to be a golf pro that did fittings on our range. It's extremely benefitial. You will want to get it done while you are playing/practicing consistently and are comfortable with your swing. The biggest thing is to try as many different brands out as possible. I would also highly highly recommend doing it at a grass driving range and not a place you are hitting off turf.
1. Expect to pay a little bit more money than you are expecting. They have done a good job convincing me to spend a little bit more money than originally. It's important to note that they didn't force me to do anything, just opened up my eyes to options.
2. Don't try to pipe everything you hit or else you'll be fitted poorly. Make sure you hit easy shots, medium shots, and try to crush a few.
3. You have a track man system in front of you, and there is a lot of information... They will explain what you are looking at.
4. If you have an old pair of shoes and a new pair of shoes that you play in, take the pair you don't care that will get ruined. You hit on a mat and I stripped the white finish off the toes of my shoes.
It's extremely beneficial. I've been fitting myself for the last 10 years, although I still have the same fitment as then. I've fit probably 100-150 people intoover the last ten years as well. It definitely helps. If your swing/ball flight/shot pattern is different the day you get fit than what it normally is, you may want to go back and get fit on a different day. Otherwise, someone could put you into clubs that don't quite match who you are.
I ended up buying Mizuno irons and Titleist Woods. I had my 1st hole-in-one a month after the purchase. Was it the clubs?

**Edit: I absolutely love Mizuno irons. I still have never hit a set of irons that felt as good as my MP-33's.

How long did it take for you to transition to the new sticks? That has always been my concern to switch, I'm 6'5" and have played my whole life on standard shafts (both in stiffness and length (*insert shaft joke here*)). I'm worried it would take me years to get back to my current level of moderate crappiness.

It's not really about how tall you are but rather how long your arms are. Usually the measurement used is wrist to floor. If you have long arms you may actually need shorter clubs, not longer.
Club speed is ued for determing flex, stiff, exra stiff, flex, etc., Club speed is determined by measuring your 5 iron or what you use from the 150 yard in. The three of us varied and I was the shortes hitter at that time, going back and forth betwen an 8 and 7 and the two others hardly ever going over 9. There was less that an inch between the three of us, althoug we ranged roughly 2" apart in height.
Bit as many will tell you here, if you ever want to go around in the 70s or more than a regular basis, doesn't really matter as to golf club, but make sure they fit you. And get to love your short irons. That's where you take strokes off. Get on the green in regulation.

Won a trip to San Diego that included a fitting at Cleveland Golf. Tremendous experience. Irons set to proper degree based on ball flight. Not only educational but much fun. Highly recommend a personal fitting.
