Club fitting

    Our club is hosting a club fitting day, which costs €25 for an analysis with their technician, which you can offset again a purchase.

    I currently have a nice set of graphite calloways that while i'm tempted to upgrade, probably don't need to (although they are about 15 years old).

    I've been looking at golfbidder, and would be tempted to buy here, but amn't sure of what would suit me. So what I was wondering, is is it worth paying the €25 for this fitting with the club - it would be specific to the brand, and also probably their new range too. I can't afford a brand new set of clubs, let alone custom fit ones. I have been fitted previously for a driver which was a senior shaft in a ladies club and it suits me well, but i'm not sure if the senior shaft is suitable in another brand. Or just go to McGuirks, etc. where they do free fittings? Or just go to my pro and see if there really is any benefit on upgrading my clubs!

    If you spend 25 for that fitting you will be fitted to the best that they have to hand of that brand, that may or not be the best for you.
    Better would be the likes of places that have a wider range of brands and so more flexibility.
    Personally for me I would require a minimum of real balls, a range with real ball flight and proper devices to measure in real time ball spin rate and also a selection of interchangeable brands.
    A quick search on custom fitting will give you pretty consistent results from Foregolf all the way down to hitting a ball into a net in a shop, read them and decide which best for you and your budget.
    Best of luck

    Range balls buddy, some places use range balls which are brutal to give you any real feel

    I dont think so. I mean, what are the chances it would make any different to you game ? Slim to none I guess. €25 is bad value for that.
