OK so i just got fitted for the first time after several years of really getting into the game. I had some 2015 Big Bertha GI irons but they were too long & heavy for me (i'm a shorter guy) and found that I was killing it (distance & accuracy) with some cheap costco clubs (callway edge) i bought for my wife recently. Definitely was due to their shorter club length and lighter flex as my swing speed isn't that fast. Really goes to show how much a proper club sizing plays a role.
I shoot in the low 90's and actually just broke 90 the other day with my wife's clubs (woo hoo!). Anyways, i went to a Callaway Center fitting and got recommended Apex 19 clubs (1" shorter & light graphite shaft flex).
The clubs just arrived a few days ago and i just cant hit them. I'm all over the place and not as far and it's causing some injuries.
Question i have is - is this just me needing to get used to new clubs esp since they're forged compared to the game improvement irons i'm used to? I'm wondering if things dont change if i should go back to more forgiving clubs.
These definitely don't have as much offset and so is this a big factor in getting used to these clubs? What suggestions do you all have with moving from GI offset clubs to forged/non-offset clubs? I'm going to focus on making sure my hands are in front of the clubhead at setup and impact to see if that helps.
I just got these and am a little frustrated/freaked out by what i'm seeing. Perhaps i'll feel better about these clubs after some time?
Thanks all,
Steve
