Custom fitting in Cork

dines08

Looking for a set of Taylormade burner 2.0 irons custom fit. Was quoted €599 for a 4-sw set in American golf in Cork, which is good value. Custom fit for free with the purchase. Anybody have any experience with the store or with Nevada bobs in cork. Looking for the best possible fitting service available obviously and will be looking to get my other clubs custom fit at the same time. Any help/advice is much appreciated. Thanks

Unless you see the flight of the ball (especially with irons) then "custom fitting" is no more than getting the right lie and length and perhaps grip size, especially if you're limiting yourself to one type of iron.
Best to hit a few and see which ones go too low or baloon or just don't look right at address.

Thanks for the help lads... Not set on any particular set really. Just love the look of them and I've heard great things. Fully aware they may not be for me. I'm in Limerick and there are very limited places to get fitted. Some of them have a great reputation but offer very little choice of clubs. Looking for the best possible choice and the best possible service. Been saving for awhile to get this done so I want to get it right.

I guess you'd be up to Fore in Kildare in the same time it would take to travel to Cork give or take.

If that's the case I wouldn't limit myself to Cork. Having said that, if you do come to Cork then Fota is your best bet.

Fore in Kildare is miles ahead of Fota, and has a wider range too. Fota is pricy and not the best for customer service.

And Foregolf isn't? I bought a Taylormade wedge (new) in Fota just before christmas for 75 euro. Also, the attitude has really improved there in the last couple of years.

not saying there's any comparison in terms of fitting service but I stand by my comment that Fota is the best I've experienced in Cork.

That's what I'm after guys... Advice based on personal experience. Places to seriously consider and places to avoid. it'll be 3-4 weeks before I go for it so I've plenty of time to suss out all my options.

ive experienced fitting in both fota and fore golf dines08.fota has great range to be fair and taylormade for def which you have your eye on.its up to yourself on how far you want to travel.fota will be closer but on the other hand you probably wont get a better selection than fore golf,chances are you might not even come out with clubs you looking at.fore is costly and they dont discount fee if you purchase,think fota take fee for fitting off clubs if you buy.either way you will be well fitted id say, with fore getting the edge.enjoy the experience whichever way you go

Would the people in Fota be able to tell you the correct length for clubs?
(I've been told that my driver is too long, but not sure what to do/get)

Dines08, why dont you go down to Donal McSweeney in Unigolf, Casteltroy, limerick.

He is a Taylormade and Ping custom fitter.

I went down there recently for a view and a chat and he has all the gear down there.
He uses flight scope, V1 pro analysis and the Ping custom set up software (cant remember the name)

Apologies, someone woke a sleeping thread and I didn't see the original date.:o

Replying here to an older thread.

Just wondering has anyone been to Fota recently for a fitting and if they'd feedback?

Also a google search brought up Douglas pro shop (Stephen Hayes)
Any info here?

I'd like to try out the Ping G30 driver but don't want to travel as far as the likes of Foregolf, etc

So looking for somewhere local. And don't want to be hitting into a net, ideally a range where I can see the ball flight

Drive Golf Glanmire. Dooley brothers. They have a lot of shafts in stock for the G30. Outdoor range with trackman. Good guys.
