This price also included the fitting of the rest of my clubs which we concluded did not need changing, so they will tell you if you are good with what you have. I got to try all my clubs with a multitude of shafts. Probably an hour and a half spent with me. Great array of gear there. Along with usual stuff they also stock some which is not available in ordinary golf shops in Ireland (PXG, Honma, some makes I never heard of). Michael Kavanagh fitted me and is a gentleman.

I couldn't fault the guy who fitted me and am really excited to be getting a new driver. I'm going from a 10 year old cobra s9 10.5 reg flex to a cobra speedzone 9.0 stiff shaft. I thought I probably would have benefitted from a stiff shaft but was fairly shocked when I saw my swing speed next to the recommended shafts. Regular shaft is recommended for 75-90mph and I was swinging around 106. Creeping into extra stiff, but I tried one and was just better with the stiff (for 90-105mph). I wonder is there an element of me being used to the regular shaft and extra stiff was too much of a difference, but who knows. I also thought I'd get a shorter shaft but we tried that and the longer one suited me better. Overall I'm probably only gaining a couple of yards, but am definitely looking straighter, so that'll be some difference. And if I can sort out my angle of attack I'll be gaining about 20 yards, so that's definitely a goal now!

Had a driver fit and was told the head was perfect just needed a new shaft and was SST pured also and shortened. Has mad a world of difference to my dispersion off the tee. The technology used there and the service is top notch ill be going back again.

Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on fittings in Cork area
Monkstown golf club
Fota
Killarney golf
I've heard plenty good stuff regards Drive Golf performance in glanmire and been there for a lesson few years ago
I've been fit in foregolf around 2015 but wondering about options closer to Cork or am I better just go back to foregolf again
I was at Foregolf last week, inventory is an issue, they did not have mid sized Golf Price MCC grips even, phone them to ensure if you have anything particular in mind that they have it
Ya thats another consideration. I've heard left handers are being particularly hard hit with unavailability of club heads , etc
Does concept golf give you the specs if you dont buy with them and does the fitting cost come off the price of the clubs? Has anyone used Mcguirks for a fitting and have they aftermarket shafts? I had one fitting for a Driver years ago and the fitter couldnt be less interested in the whole process
I had an irons and, separately, a driver fitting with Concept golf about two/three months ago and I got the specs no problem. I don't know if the fitting cost comes off the price of any clubs you buy. Have to say the experience was great both times, very informative and Mark was super interested in tweaking as much as we could out of the sessions.
I've used McGuirks on occasion and have generally found them ok, with my preference being for the fitting bay in Leopardstown driving range (granted its range balls). I've often wondered if outdoors with range balls is better/worse than indoors into a screen with good golf balls. Probably indoors in fairness.
Thats great I have heard very good reviews about Mark in Concept. Does he stock the full range of manufacturers?
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I'm a lefty so naturally there was a smaller selection, but seemed to be a good lot of RH stuff. I got to try 6 different irons at my fitting, Srixon ZX5 & ZX7, Titleist T200, TM P770, Ping i525 and I can't remember the last one, might have been Callaway Apex. I don't think I saw any Mizuno gear there, but open to correction, think supply chain issues were mentioned.
Pretty sure I saw Ping, Taylor Made, Titleist and Callaway drivers (or at least headcovers !!), maybe Srixon too. I wasn't paying that much attention as I told him I didn't want to know what he was handing me to hit so I wouldn't be biased. Of course there are some that are obvious to the eye at the same time.
Guys...is there anywhere good for actually trying putters on a putting green...
Was going to try actually getting a fitting for a putter ?
But find some of them set ups a bit unnatural for putting.
Made an error of a face balanced putter and put me backwards .
I probably have a stroke that does need fitting?
Ideas welcome....Dublin area....
