J13*
2020 Champion Golfer of the Year
Almost done building the 2020 setup but as you all know things can change at a moments notice.
A little about me:
Hcp is +1.6 at the moment
Driver SS - 115-117mph on course normal swing.
Swing Type - Aggressive transition, shorter swing (think Rahm, Finau)
How I test:
First, let me say I test a lot of clubs. I’m talking just about everything. My process is pretty simple and involves a mix of LM (flightscope, trackman ect..) and on-course testing. Each year I take whatever looks good to my eye and test it indoors (usual winter). From there I start accumulating heads, shafts, ect.. and build up clubs for on-course testing.
On course testing:
IMO on course testing is the end-all, be-all. I’ve had more fittings than I can count and know what works for me and what doesn’t so most of my testing stays within the parameters of what fits my swing. Don't get me wrong, getting fit is important and valuable but nothing can replicate standing on a tee box and hitting a drive when something is on the line. Some clubs perform great when you're hitting shot after shot in a fitting only to be a dud when you take it on course. Been there, done that. So for me this is my process and this is what works.
