I wish it was that easy but I live on Guam. If you are not a pro don't waste your time and money getting fitted I was doing good fitting myself. I could not say the same for the putter fitting. The putter has been much better. Club Champion is still out to sell you a new set of clubs pretending that it would help you. If you love nearby I guess it must be okay since they can tweak your clubs based on how it feels. Expensive lesson learned

I just spent $5k at Club Champion at Del Mar in August of last year. I used to play PXG irons and Titleist woods before I got to San Diego and thought I want to get fitted so I can improve my game some more. I got fitted and it took more than 7 weeks to get the clubs that were fitted to me. I was very excited to get them premium shaft etc. from Driver to Putter. I tried to play with the fitted clubs when I got them in November but I could not hit them properly and lost 2 club lengths of distance on the entire bag. I thought it must be me not getting used to the new fitted clubs. I took them to the driving range, used then at the course, but still I got worst and worst. I noticed that the clubs were super light to my feel I could not feel what the club head is at and what it is doing...I sucked. So I decided to used my old set (lucky I did not sell them) lo and behold I played so much better and so much fun. I thought maybe it is all in my mind so I played a day after and I was even better and I got my distance back. Now I know it is the clubs, 5K down the drain any suggestions what my options are to make these clubs workable? I would like to try to have the lie set back to standard they are Srixon ZX4's. I thought club fitting would always be a plus nit knowing that it could also make you worst...so be wary before spending your hard earned money....

Wedges all the same length?
Guam135i replied to singhmech's topic in Club Making/Repair & DIY Projects
If I use the same shaft as my irons do the shafts for the wedges have to be heavier version? -

I have been playing for maybe 20 some years but I live on Guam and never had a fitting done. I am now 58 and had my 1st fitting at Club Champion in Del Mar and it was the best investment I have done to my golf journey. It was expensive yes it was because I changed my whole bag except for the wedges (which was a mistake). I could not be happier and saw some decent improvement in my game. But before going to golf champion I went to the PGA Store and see if I could save money but I ended buying the wrong driver and shaft and they bent the lie on my PXG irons out of whack (3 degrees upright) and I could not hit my irons and that is the reason went to Club Champion.

I was fitted recently in CA for all my clubs except for the wedges which was dumb. My GW is 35.75" length and 49 degree loft with a 65 degree lie and a D3 swing weight. I am going to buy two wedges a 54 and a 58 or 60 . What length in the aerofiber shaft should they be and what swing weight. I am using a standard golf pride multi-compound grip. I am on Guam and will not travel to CA until the summer. Thank you

Club fitting was the best decision I did. I used to play a 44" driver and I am 6' it was consitent but lost some distance which was okay. I got fitted in August and they set me up with a 45" driver with the correct shaft, head, loft lie and grip and I gained yardage and am now more consistent than playing my 44" driver. Just my 0.02 cents

Where do i find these golf specific swing speed exercises? At 58 I am in fairly good shape I bike 3x a week, i do weights 3x a week. I dropped my weight to my ideal BMI weight. -
Is there a way to train to increase some club head speed?
