I went to TrueSpec for a club fitting about 2 months ago. I'm a typical 13 index but have flashes of being able to get to a 10 index. I've always had the same issues, very low ball flight and fairly high landing dispersion. Sometimes I can control it, most times I can't. I decided to go to TrueSpec and had a fantastic experience. I wrote a review of this process back in late April on another thread. The result is that I choose to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the Titeilist CP-04 irons with Mitsubishi shafts. The data from all my swings at TrueSpec was very clear. The CP-04 flew much higher and had a very tight distribution. Now that I finally have them (different issue), I can say definitively that for me, these were the perfect choice. I went from averaging 2 - 3 GIRs, to now 7-8 GIR per round. The distance is slightly better and only seems to be different as I get to the shorter irons. My 9 iron goes about 5-10 yards longer, was 130 and now closer to 140. I didn't buy these for the distance, I bought them for the flight and dispersion. Without question, they've improved my game. The most surprising thing to me is that they perform the exact same on the course that they did in the TrueSpec studio. I went in thinking I would buy another set of Mizuno or maybe Callaway irons. But the data was so obvious, I couldn't ignore it. I struggled with the cost, the heads were $500.00 each and the shafts were $180.00...just stupid. But hey, I just retired and I'm playing more golf. My swing isn't going to change at 62 so I decided to see if I could "buy" a better game. I've read a number of reviews and the clubs get dinged for the cost, and they should. Other folks complain about the "game improvement" type of irons that these are, but hey, who cares. All I wanted were results. The heads have a classic look and aren't too big or bulky. TrueSpec did a great job building them up because I can feel the balance in the club and shaft. If you can afford these, I'd highly recommend them. The results speak for themselves. My first couple of real rounds with them were 82, 84 on a course I play frequently. I know the distances each of my previous clubs went to and can see these results. Happy to answer questions.

I just went to TrueSpec last week, April 23, 2021 for reference. I have to say, this exceeded even my heightened expectations. I did the full bag fitting and spent a solid 4 hours hitting golf balls, I was beat at the end. Make sure you're ready for that. I went in with a few pre-disposed opinions on some of the equipment I wanted. In fact, it took a month to get an appointment (in Beverly Hills), and I almost just went to a box store and bought what I wanted...what a mistake that would have been. Starting with driver, I was pretty sure I wanted the new Ping head. After trying that, and about 5 others and some number of shafts, there was very little difference and my fitter said, well, maybe your current driver is good enough. Then he said, maybe we'll try one more head/shaft combination. As soon as I hit the first drive...and then another 10 drives, the data was so obvious and so overwhelming, there was no decision. I went with that set up. It gave me about 195 yards of carry vs 185 on a good hit and much more roll out. It was the Taylor Made SIM driver head that I was certain I wouldn't like! But data is data, and I'm an engineer at heart. There was no decision to make, it was easy. I forget the shaft but it was not the stock shaft that driver comes with in stores. Then the irons, same thing. After nearly an hour of hitting many, many combinations of heads I wanted to try, there was no difference. Then he pulled out the last one and again, after a few swings it became clear. 25' higher apex and 20 yards longer carry on a 6-iron I didn't really think I could hit. I ended up with the Titleist CNCP CP-04 irons and Mitsubishi shafts. God awful expensive but hey, I'm not getting any younger and there's zero chance I can make real, long term swing changes. I don't hit long (I'm 60), but I do have a pretty consistent swing and the data showed it. The equipment choices I made were very clear. And maybe here's the downside. I wonder how this helps if you don't have a consistent swing? You can be fooled by data too. (My swing path on my driver varied <0.7 degrees on 90% of my swings. It may be bad, but it's consistent!) The only downside is the 4-6 week delivery but they said that and I wasn't surprised. I'll update this review after I play a few rounds and see if the results on the course match the results in the lab. I highly recommend TrueSpec. I felt there was no agenda, buy, don't buy, try this, try that, absolutely no pressure to do anything other than hit golf balls. They were patient and didn't push me to pick something. The data though, was obvious.
