Shaft pureing, spine alignment, etc. may (that is may…) benefit a tiny, tiny fraction of the very best golfers. Until recently it wasn’t even a thing. Now too many people think they “need” it when they don’t. I believe that for the vast majority of golfers that money is far better spent on lessons.

Have done a few fittings (I don’t fit standard clubs) so every time I get new clubs I have to be fitted. club champion was okay, but salesy. Seemed to be pushing Calloway Apex irons. Didn’t feel they went far enough with shafts, shaft weights, etc. Orlando club pro. Had a specific “style” and fitted me to his style. Spent a year trying to get used to the Srixon irons and never could. Weird misses (for me), hard to hit, not really a appropriate fit for me (This guy had fit big name pros…) Pxg. Best fitting experience. Tried a few heads, lots of loft, lie and shaft combos. Upright, longer, heavy shafts, bigger grips, stepped stiff… Liked the series 2 irons best. Fitter said that happened 75% of the time. in closing, I met a Golf Channel personality (former tour player) and he said fitting was not a science, or consistent from fitter to fitter. That was my experience. i thought it was like fitting a suit (either it’s right or not). That’s not the case. Try and find a fitter that will adjust the clubs after the sale.

It was a different ball.

It is a new ball.

I have oversized grips, so the 14-way makes it easier to get the clubs in and out.

I remember when 90 was the standard compression ball. Times have changed.

I bought PXG irons and like them. They were on sale (I believe they were $89 a club) and were cheaper than TaylorMade, titleist, or Ping at the time. i like them, but am not thrilled with the “elite $” brand. Kind of douchey to see the full PXG bag player wearing the hat. I just wanted good irons at a good price and they fit the bill. I keep the “brand” on the down-low.

Parsons’ track record is not one of losing money.

Sometimes it’s the Indian and not the arrow.
