My golf instructor’s group has a Foresight GC Quad monitor, along with the other fitting equipment, so I decided to do my club fitting with them.
We started out getting baseline data with my M4 irons and GBB woods. We quickly saw that the stiff shafts weren’t a good fit for my game these days.
I ultimately tried a Project X LZ Graphite shaft in R flex. The first thing I noticed is that my left pinky didn’t ache after several shots. While the R-Flex produced better numbers, an A-flex shaft was the ticket. It had the best ball speed, spin and carry based on the QC Quad.
We moved to the lie board, where I was consistently scuffing the tape at the toe. It was determined that I need a 2* upright lie. We measured height and arm length and found a need a -1/4” off a standard length shaft for each club. Here’s a little video my wife took in slow motion with the proper shaft and head.
I also found that I hit a Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal iron markedly better than the M4s. So I will be ordering a set of the JPX 919 Hot Metal irons, 2* upright, with Project X LZ Graphite A-flex shafts and Midsized Golf Pride MCC + 4 grips.
I will have my M4 irons, Callaway MD PM Grind wedges and Callaway wood shafts with OptiFit adapters in R, S and X to sell...
It was a interesting experience for a stat geek. It was great to see the metrics as I went through the different combinations. To end up with appreciable improvement in swing and ball speed, with appropriate spin with my balky arthritic body, was great.
To consistently strike shots solid and consistently straight with NO hand or shoulder pain (even with a standard grip) was great! I definitely recommend getting properly fitted to maximize your performance.
