Recommend a good club builder/fitter

rafared

Hi guys. Im thinking of changing the shafts in my Mizuno Mx23's for stifer shafts. This is because a Titleist club fittter recently did a demo day at our club and said my current DG Lite shafts in reg flex are too light and flexible for my swing speed and style. He was able to tell what my ballflight and miss tendency (hook) would be without seeing me swing based on my handicap (7) and physical build. Several of my mates also did a session with him and were as impresed as I was. I should add he had the latest equipment, radar tracking, cases of heads and bags of shafts as well as plenty of ProV balls which were hit from grass as well as a tee. In all the session was very informative and enjoyable. At the end of the session he recommended a KBS Tour shaft in stiff flex for my swing speed and style. (have to be honest and say I wasnt mad about the look of the AP irons although they hit the ball well)
So now Im thinking of buying these shafts and having them fit into my existing clubs. My question is would anybody recommend a good club maker who could do this job well withouth charging the earth?

Id be carefull changing shafts like that, just because they were good with the AP's but could be totally different in muzino. i think the day of changing shafts is kinda gone now,basically you be better to try a range of clubs and shafts in the likes of foregolf or sumtin. taylormade could be the club that would suit best or could be ping and so on......

I would go to foregolf. I've been and my taylormade RAC irons are in getting the shafts changed to Stiff. I had reg shaft but need stiff. Although a light stiff shaft for my swing as the heaver one didn't suit. My friend went aswell and he plays of 8 and needs new shafts as well. He's been tinkering with his swing for over a year know trying to fix the odd problem and loved what he done with him.

Thanks for that. Dont know much about foregolf to be honest. Do you mind if I ask how much the whole process will cost including the testing session, cost of new shafts and grips and the installation service?

Thanks again:)

KBS SHAFTS WILL BE PRICEY!! BUT HES RIGHT I WOULDNT CHANGE THE SHAFTS, YOUR BETTER OFF GETTING THE SET AS YOU HIT THEM BECAUSE THINGS LIKE CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE CLUBS WILL HAVE AN AFFECT ON THE BALL FLIGHT.

Foregolf charge 100 euro for fitting session.Thats for all your clubs. My irons are as i said Taylormade Rac's with standard regular shaft. They are in getting the shafts and grips changed to stiff light shafts as the lighter shaft suits my swing better. He had me swing a heavier shaft. Its 45 euro a shaft with grip. He extending and re-balancing my wedges and thats 20 euro each. He also priced new irons as well but felt the exsisting heads were more than ok to use. He did say that in years to come if my game does improve i may need the heads changed on them which would cost similar. The only new clubs he did say i needed was a driver and replace the the 3 iron with a cleveland launcher. Your given the list and its on file as well so you can change clubs as money comes available or when youcan sneak it in with out the wife knowing He only used the tracking system once or twice with me as he would rather do it by feel and feedback from the player and ball flight.

Thanks a mil for that. Thats a bit on the expensive side but probably worth it. I dont need a Driver, 3wood or Hybrid club fitting because they've been done before and I hit them all well. Its realy the irons only I want to get sorted. I think for that kind of money I would get fit for a new set and sell my current clubs 2nd hand or maybe trade them in.
Thanks again.

Same iron shafts as me,my own clubs were to long and i need a lighter stiff shaft in them.Aldila NV Protopype shaft in my driver.I was there last friday and it is a great setup.Have you got your clubs yet? I think mine will be ready early next week.

brians947

Was hoping they would be ready today or tomorrow but shafts aren't in yet. She said they hope to have them early next week. I was there Thursday. Was hoping they would be ready as its the monthly medal in the club.
