Went and had the fitting and swing analysis this morning. Wow what a cool experience.
Started off warming up with the instructor just watching. First thing he did was have me make some tweaks to the grip. He said it would help with consistency. It was a little uncomfortable at first but I went with it and wanted to keep an open mind about everything. Going to give that a long term test and see how sticking with that goes.
After warming up I put the motion capture gear on and hit some swings. The 3d analysis showed that my left knee was getting a few degrees low, so I straightened that out. He also gave me a pivot drill to rotate a little more and slide my weight forward a touch left. Had me focus on coil and uncoil. After that we were able to compare the 2 swings side by side and look at the numbers.
Driver speed was just over 100, 6 iron was about 85. My swing path was typically between 2º out to in and 2º in to out with a club face closed about 4º. My miss is left, and that is cause from the combo of out to in and closed. When the swing was more in to out with a more positive angle of attack I hit my best shots.
He got out the alignment rods and had me focus on the path, it is something I am going to have to work but when I was able to match I really liked the ball flight.
The computer recommended the SLDR TP at 10.5º, and then the new CBs with the ATV wedges. He said the heavier shafts were better for my tempo. We took a few clubs out on the range. I was getting a little tired as I am out of shape for the winter, but even hitting a few thin I loved the ball flight on the CBs. Even with some miss hits the ball flew great. In 28º weather on the range I was about 5-10 yards longer than my usual with my current clubs, he said I should see a little more distance when it warms up.
I didn't try out the SLDR though, I had him take a look at the R1 for me. After buying a TP shaft last fall I "self fitted" a change from 9.5º 10.5º. He had me try a few different settings and put it all the way down to 8º. I wouldn't have guessed that going in.
Ball match was the RBZ U, which is great because I just bought a bunch at $8 on closeout.
The fitting cost me $60 on a black friday deal, when I order my clubs through them it comes with a $40 dollar discount, so I just got a total steal. I know it is more expensive other places around the country, but I absolutely recommend it if you get a chance.
