You will never conquer golf.
I was wondering if you wanted to test two irons with the same shaft does Dick's have the ability to do that without a full iron fitting? Say you only needed about half an hour to do the test?

Thanks. I am really looking for the data so I would need that. I tried to call them, but their golf guy is not in today and I figured some on the forum would know.It depends on the brand and what the store has at their disposal. For a test like that, you normally don't get the benefits of using the launch monitor for data. Just a comparison for feel.
I used to work at Dicks years ago and that's how we did it. But it could have changed and other locations may have different policies.

A "quick fit" is usually pretty affordable and on par with a bucket or 2 of balls at a local range. You might want to ask about that, but I'm not sure if they still offer that service. Itll give you your data, but they won't go into loft and lie adjustments.Thanks. I am really looking for the data so I would need that.

If you have a Golf Galaxy near you go there. The one near me has a full fitting setup. They did free fittings last time I looked.I was wondering if you wanted to test two irons with the same shaft does Dick's have the ability to do that without a full iron fitting?

This didn't go the direction I thought it would. Good to see the fitting went well for youYou usually get what you pay for, i.e., for nothing you get nothing. In sixty years of golfing I had never been properly fit for irons until about six months ago. It was an eye opener. I ended up with different heads, different shafts, and different grips than what I expected going in. From what I saw during the fitting, the shafts alone made a meaningful difference. (FWIW, new shafts and grips on old heads can cost as much as new irons from companies that offer a wide range of shafts at no up charge.) After being properly fit, at 74, I am striking the ball better than I ever have. If you only want to spend $500 (or less) for new shafts (or irons), it might not be worth getting fit. But if you are spending $800 to $1000 (or more) for new irons, it definitely is because it can make a huge difference.
I get your point. Having been fit in the past you no doubt understand the difference that shafts can make better than I do. I don't think I grasped that the total fit package of shaft/head/grip/ball functions as a unit before my recent fitting. Now, I'm not sure I would try to fit a new shaft (from among options) to my existing heads/grips/ball, though it might be a case of finding the final missing link with an alternative shaft if all the other components are spot-on right. The biggest mistake I made was getting fit to clubs (i.e., heads, shafts, grips, ball) and then going in for lessons that changed my swing slightly. It wasn't a big change, mostly just club head path, but it altered my angle of attack and tempo just enough that my ball striking doesn't seem quite as consistent as previously. The ball contact seems more crisp however, so maybe the swing is actually better fit to my new equipment than I think. Perhaps just more hours pounding balls and I'll get it. Hope you find a shaft that gives you the answer you need.I have been professional fit for my irons. I am simply trying to test out two irons with the same type shaft to get the data. All in all, it would probably take about 30 minutes tops. I plan to call DSG (only 25 minutes from me) and see what they have and if they don't have what I need, I will get GG a ring to see.
