I've had this discussion with Maddog before and I was wondering what THPers thought. He's talked about going and getting properly fit for a driver in the future. However for him and most of us for that matter we have to budget our golf funds.
I have a few questions when it comes to fitting. If us as golfers have a certain price point in mind should we even bother getting properly fit?
The reason I ask that is this. Say golfer x has $250 to spend on a driver and plans to grab a last year's model driver. Should he just hit a bunch of 2014 drivers and go what one feels best and produces best results without getting fit?
I ask this because I know speaking for myself if I get a fitting and they recommend brand new driver X with upgraded shaft Z and I can't afford it, I'm going to resent whatever purchase I make because I know it's not what I was fit to. I know it's a mental part but we all know that the mental part of golf is a huge factor. What do you guys say? If you can't absolutely afford exactly what you're fit to should we just demo clubs to find what we like? Should we mention this to the fitter right away that you'd like to be fit to last year's model driver even though it might not be the absolute best fit for your game?
