I’m going for my first ever fitting next week and I just found out the fitter uses mats and not grass. My question is can I get a reliable fitting off of a mat?
I ask because I’ve noticed when I go to the range (all ranges here use mats, no grass) I’m about 1-2 clubs longer than I am on the course. After some research it seems like the distance increase comes from lower spin off the mats. I spin the ball a ton as it is and I’m afraid the numbers off the mat are going to be optimal or even low and I’m not going to be fit correctly. Any advice, comments, etc. are welcome.
