I know in my case, we were hurrying to get through the fitting process and didn’t get a lot of discussion time. I know I have always been open to higher bounce wedges, and with my fitting, he put me into a set with some options (higher bounce on the 54, lower on the 58)…and encouraged me to...
The one and only time I was in a group with the great @JB, I shot my lifetime best of an 80 which has barely been approached (and won't be next week).
Best to keep me out of a pairing with @Canadan since everytime we play together, we get biblical weather issues. 😀
Not all fittings are created equal for sure, but a good fitter should defintely create some aha moments maximizing whatever your swing generates.
I have had a couple of those moments, one with a driver shaft that just gave me a perfect ball flight that let me play some better than normal golf...
I'm sorry you are hurting JB, but glad I'll still get to see you nonetheless...it's been too long.
I kind of love that we don't necessarily have to be in competition mode for this event so that we can play around with the wedges even more.
Time will pass very slowly this week, but so excited...
So excited...I'll be packing a week from tonight to head out next Sunday. Can't wait to put the new Vokeys into action and get to experience my first Dormie Network event. So many awesome aspects to the event.
Titleist definitely has a great group of fitters across the country. I have been very impressed both personally and reading others reports.
So very excited that this experience starts two weeks from tomorrow. This is going to be so much fun.
I'm so excited to get these SM10s in two and a half weeks at Ballyhack. Excited to hit full shots with them with my fitted shafts (usually hate full wedge shots) and can't wait to see all they can do for my game.
For my fitting, we hit range balls for full shots and mid-length chips going down the range using the Trackman. When we moved over to the chipping green, he pulled out a handful of Titleist AVX (I think) and we chipped with those.
Guess it is always better to use the real thing, but not always...
My replacement Fairway 14 arrived today with perfectly straight legs. Will be tomorrow before I load her up, but did want to share more pics of the AI Smoke colorway.
I do usually only use the 50 and 54 for full swings and use the 58 for most things chipping and pitching...so I think what the fitting showed was that I get steeper on the full swings (therefore the higher bounce on the 50 and 54) and not as steep on chips and pitches with 58 (so the lesser...
