Well lots of threads on fittings. I've never had a fitting before and think this year its time. Looking for recommendations for irons/wedges/drivers to try. I will not be fitting my existing clubs, I will be going new.
I play almost everyday. Summer Real world, Winter Sim world.
I currently am shooting;
ping g400lst driver
Cleveland HB launcher 3w and 5w
Taylormade 2 iron p790 (switch between it and the 5w depending on course)
Cleveland CBX irons
Cleveland CBX and CBX2 wedges
Now I won everything Cleveland at the shootout hosted by THP @JB and Cleveland Golf. I cannot stress enough how awesome and forgiving these irons are. They feel like cutting butter. Best clubs I've owned by quite a bit! Cannot thank you guys enough!
But me being 6'2" I feel they may be a little short, especially the long irons? And maybe I'm progressed enough to get something else past the Game Improvement Irons?
Should I be looking at distance or players irons, cast or forged? What is the logical progression I should take?
And the wedges are great. I think I want to get sized for bounce and grinds. Any recommendations on these?
I know when you are getting sized, you cannot try everything. I'm looking for suggestions for types of irons and wedges, and drivers I should try out.
I'm a 6-7 hcp with a lower than normal ball flight. I've almost defeated the OTT swing, but it rears its head again ever now and then, but not bad. Mostly straight ball flight with slight draw is the norm.
My driver swing speed is 110+mph and ball speed 150-165 depending on the day. Some days I'm the man just smashing them down the middle 270 carry, other days I'm 260 total. That's probably one reason of many why my scores fluctuate so much. I think my rotator cuff injury from years ago has something to do with that. And due to that my swing at its max is only at 10:00 cannot backswing more than that.
Here's a little info about my club distances from last summer from garmin, even though those are total distances, when I'm swinging well my carry is slightly further than those numbers, I don't usually get warmed up until the 7th hole unless I go to the range before hand;
