Hosel Head

Haven't been in before but would like to give it a try.

I've been fit by Club Champion twice. The fitter was never pushy at all and even told me he couldn't beat my current (at the time) driver. In the most recent fitting he told me my Srixon ZX5 irons were fine but he didn't like the shaft for me. I ended up replacing my Recoil shafts with Steelfiber. However, I didn't get the results on the course/range that I got in the fitting. I attribute that to being fit indoors. I don't think club/ball/turf interaction off a mat is the same as off grass. Also, it takes me a while to make good contact hitting inside. I feel claustrophobic and feel like I'm going to hit something other than the ball. My next fitting will be outside. The only clubs in my bag that I was fit for are my TSR4 driver and my 3 Vokey wedges and they were all fit outside. I'm much more confident in those fittings. Good luck with your ongoing search.

It depends on when I put the last new ball in play. If I put it in play half way through the previous round I probably start the next round with it. I won't go more than 36 holes with a ball and that is pretty rare. We have coquina/sand cart paths (no drops) that don't really mar a golf ball. Trees will discolor a ball but most of my damage comes from bladed bunker shots. Occasionally I will lose a ball in a water hazard, whoops, penalty area.  Also, we have an older tree with an opening in the base that is just right of the 18th green. Many times I will toss my ball in that opening to pay homage to the golf trolls/tree monkeys in hopes that I will get favorable bounces my next round. "I'm not superstitious but I am a little stitious."
