Good video and I watched another video of an actual fitting. I have 2 questions if I may. I started lessons again and I am trying to fix/change some bad habits that I have built over the last 30 years of playing golf. My swing now may be different than what it will be in 6 months. Should I wait for a fitting and will changes to my swing change things? I see a lot of trials of different clubs in the fitting sessions. Is it possible to come away from a fitting with iron specs such as shaft flex, shaft length, grip size, optimum lie angle, optimum degree of offset, optimum swing weights, etc? I tinker with my clubs by adding swing weight, back weight with lead tape in the grip, shaft extenders and such. I've never had a fitting before though.
I would get fit/looked at every year when the new batch of clubs come out. You can see what your current swing is suiting with, and have an opportunity to buy “older” clubs for a discount
I’m looking to get a fitting in a year or so these clubs will be my clubs probably atleast 5-10 years hopefully so I’m kind of set on what I want. In my bag I have a cobra king f9 driver, I will replace with the same club I love it just has some love to it where I wasn’t as good My gaping issues start at woods. I have a 17-20 degree cobra f7 it says 5-6 wood on it, hit it well. I have a 19 degree Cleveland launcher hb 3 hybrid. Use the 5-6 as a 3 wood and 19 as a 5 wood. Want to replace those. Looking for a stronger lofted 3 wood. And to use the 5-6 wood as it’s intended. So possibly the new cobra line at the time for both. I play strata irons 28-44 degrees 6-pw in 4 degree increments and I like that but I’m missing something along the lines of 24 degrees. I have wedges at 51 56 and 60 degrees. There’s a noticeable gap between the 51-56 and the pw to the 51. So I want to change those to 52-56-60 and throw in a 48 but everytime I look up a 48 degree it only takes me to 50-60 I want Cleveland wedges, irons I’ve narrowed down to mizuno p225 taylormade p790 srixon zx5 or 7. I want my bag to consist of 1. Driver 9.5-12.5 2. 3 wood 13-16 3. 5 wood 17-20 4. 24 degree(5i?) 5.28 degree(6i) 6. 32 degree 7 7. 36 degree 8 8. 40 degree 9 9. 44 degree pw 10. 48 degree wedge 11.52 degree wedge 12.56 degree wedge 13.60 degree wedge 14. Putter I understand the gapping may not work out that way but I want my own lofts that I like and am used to. I just want a fitting to get the shafts right. I’m looking atleast at a cold $2000 to 2500. So it’s going to take me a minute to get there but that’s what I want. I am in beginner clubs so I’m looking players distance irons, maybe better because like I said it will be clubs for 5-10 years. I played a round 2 under the other day and a 9.8 handicap. Playing best golf of my life so I don’t want game improvement or anything I feel like will hinder my game in the future. Something I can get better with in my hands
Do you not have anyone to talk to? This is way too much information. This is the type of novel you share with a friend...if you have any. Clearly you don't.
HI Guys love your channel,, I was just wondering how tall Thomas Cambell is. ?? .I have seen he is using a 45" driver shaft...looking at going to this length myself this year , even down to 44.3/4 ?
Just bought some LH Mizuno Hot Metals from 2ndswing. Super fast shipping. Should be here Friday and I just ordered it on Monday. Highly recommend! Thanks 🙏
I got fit last year for irons, driver and fairway woods. Since then, I have gone thru a major swing change. Would you suggest possibly doing another fitting to see where I am now compared to a year ago?
If there are any major changes in your life, get a fitting. If you're feeling weird, get a fitting. If you just broke up with your significant other, get a fitting. It all effects your swing.
Great stuff, thanks. Winter just wrapping up here, courses will start opening in about 3 weeks. A quick question, when you are taking lessons and you’re improving, is it okay to get clubs based on the fact you will in time move into a players iron rather then playing a game improvement iron? I just find the game improvement irons so chunky.
This is a good question. Ultimately, game-improvement irons are designed to provide extra performance when you need it, hence the larger, chunkier shape. If you move to a players iron too soon, there will be a period of time where you are leaving a lot of potential performance on the table. If you are willing to endure that as you improve, then go for it. Just be aware of the stark difference between the two types. Additionally, as you become a more skilled ball striker and more suited to the players irons, you'll also want to pay attention to gapping as well as loft and lie angle to ensure they still are a good fit for your changing swing.
No worries! In any case our fitters will ask a series of questions just so we can learn a little bit about your game and what you're looking for. If you are a beginner with little to no history of playing golf, that's TOTALLY fine! We have options to help you at whatever stage of the game you're at
@@Swordmaster7thas a fitter, my recommendation to a beginner is to just try out some clubs first. If it’s possible to borrow a friend/relatives clubs do that first and play a little. If you want to buy off the bat, then if possible, I’d recommend trying clubs at the location without paying for the fitting. It is very difficult to fit a beginner as you likely won’t be able to hit the golf ball in a way to provide us with any meaningful information to fit you. Many beginners make this mistake and are out of $1000+ dollars with a shaft or head that won’t work as well for them a year down the line. Don’t let this stop you from going in and doing a fitting, I’d be hesitant buying off that first fitting though. Cheers 🍻
Isn’t this about “what fits” vs “what brand”? If a client tells you at the end they wanted to try the Ping why wasn’t the Ping tried out? Shouldn’t you as the fitter try them all or rule them out based on skill, ability ball flight? Hopefully, you have all brands available, my buddy was gifted a fitting from his wife for Christmas from a single brand fitter. Hello people, don’t get fit by someone who only fits 1 brand!
Or maybe they are all pretty much the same club and just has different aesthetics? Maybe the only real difference is the shaft, grips, loft and lie? It seems to be there are really only three types of irons. Blades, cavity back and a combo of those two. When I hit Ping, Mizuno, Titleist and pretty much every other brand that all seem very similar. I went in to be fitted with my 2009 model Callaway irons and left with my same clubs. Sure, the new lofts went a little further, but I could just swing up a club and get the same results. Granted, I am not great golfer. I used to be a lot better but as I have aged, tendonitis, arthritis has limited my swing. I shoot high 70s to low 80s now.... some days I am even high 80s.
Larry is a whine matter-of-fact kinda guy who feels he's smarter than everyone else. Truth is, Thomas has forgotten more than Larry could ever dream of learning. Plus, Thomas is a genuinely nice person and not full of himself, even though he's one of the best ball strikers on YT. Listen to how Larry whines through his answers, he does this constantly. Very annoying.
Guys, what if I have never swung a club, I'm brand new? Is it worth it to get fitted? I have to assume things will change rapidly in the beginning as even a little progress is made.
Don't assume. You have zero future in golf. It's not worth it, save your money and buy a fast car...for the chicks. Chicks don't care about golf. Only married guys golf..to get away from their chicks
Invest in lessons before fitting. Go to your local sporting goods store and get a $200 beginner until you’ve taken multiple lessons and developed a swing.
A lot of golfers see or hear about club models prior to a fitting that intrigue them. Or perhaps they love the look of a certain club. For those scenarios we will absolutely have people try something they're interested in
Why do you need someone's handicap ? Doesn't this just categorise the type of club they'd be put into ? Not all higher handicappers for instance need extra strong lofted irons.
Hi Robert, thanks for the comment! The handicap is just one piece of information our fitters like to have in order to understand the type of golfer they'll be fitting. The same as what their ball flight tendencies are, what their current clubs are, how far they hit a 7-iron, and what the golfer wants to accomplish in a fitting. We definitely understand that not all higher handicappers need extra strong lofted irons. In those cases where we fit a higher handicap players with a fast swing, we will often adjust the lofts weaker, for example, to prevent the player from having gapping issues.

Hi guys; How do you fit a high handicapper with such an inconsistent swing or bad fundamentals?
They don;t fit really high handicappers with bad fundamentals, they're usually sent home. Sorry

What happens if you go for a driver fitting and you're an absolute menace not hitting well and sky mark the driver
You should probably consider taking up professional Yahtzee or chess. Hand/eye coordination is very important, so golf is definitely not for you.
@@MichealBacon Good one
that form is very outdated , needs fix

My question though, don't you need to get a set of clubs to find out how you play?
So a fitting is not fitting me to my existing clubs but buying new clubs and being fit.
It can be either one!
