Seems like on your first experience your fitter/salesman had preconceived ideas and bias. Hopefully i'll get the second one. A pro that just looks at data and knows what to get out of me with his professional experience. My main objective at this point is the same as yours was. Get some irons with shaft, lies and head specs that hopefully are the best for me at this point. You mentioned the confidence that you leave that fitting with! I think that's a real thing! And an objective as well.. To "know" that you have the right "weapons". Mainly to narrow it all to me and my work alone. Thanks

Yeah the closest i've gotten to a free fitting are the golf lessons that i have. But still we don't have access to launch monitors so it's not data driven. My swing is all over the place still so i'm curious to see how that will impact my fitting process. Main objective is to get opinions on shaft flex and lenght, lie angles and iron type. That to buy my irons. Man, wish you the best of luck with your True Spec fitting. By @jlukes experience it seems to be such a great facility! let us know how it went as i'll do with mine. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience! From what i read it's seem it was such a nice journey and process throughout.. I'll be fitted with a local professional here at Portugal. I don't have access to those you've recommended. From what i see you're a very low handicaper and i find it fascinating how a fitting experience can be so different for so many different people and still very positive to all. I liked that your fitter (obviously one of the best as you've mentioned) didn't even bother messing with what you had great in your bag and game (top of the bag). My objective is that this fitting gets me started in therms of shaft flex, lie angles (i'm relatively short), grip size and iron head type (probably a chunkier type because i need the help). Thanks man.

Hi guys, I started playing about 1 year and 4 months ago. I'm taking lessons and currently am a 33.5 handicaper. I was looking to get fitted once i lowered my handicap a little. Recently i had surgery on my knee and as i recovery i find it suitable to get fitted as soon as i'm ok. Just wanted to know from you guys how were your first fitting experiences? Did you came out happy and really fullfilled? Any bad experiences? Did you get a clear idea of which clubs you should buy? Learned anything about your swing that helped you along the way? Hope to "hear" from you guys! Thanks.

Great suggestions guys! Thank you! As i think i've mentioned i'm a high handicaper and i've started to play golf almost nine months ago so not a long time ago. I already have about 12 clubs in the bag and the main criterias at this point were cost (budget is a little tight around here) need and looks. I've tried to buy when good opportunities appeared (of course i would for opinions and reviews online before). I think my irons were a steal! 120€ for mizuno jpx900 forged 9 iron+4 iron mp fli hi and 5 to pw (without 9) jpx850 forged! I think my putter was where i spent a little bit more. I think i'll try to get fitted at some point just to get my specs right as you guys have mentioned! But it's hard for me to think that i would gain a lot with a fit without having a good and consistent game and swing already. Your thoughts about this last part??? Thanks again guys.

Hi guys, I wanted to put up a question here just to see what you guys think. In my case, i'm a high handicaper but i'll put up the question generally.. If you can't be fitted for any reason (not having a fitter near you or any other reason) and can't try the clubs before you buy them what would you think should be the main criteria(s) for you to consider before you buy new clubs/replace your own. Because without being fitted or try it there's always a risk. thanks.

Thank you! Looking forward to.

Seems ok now!

I used the prebuilt one. Same as mizuno and taylormade

@GB13 it's something about the shotscope emoji. Deleted it and it's appearing now.

"Your chosen signature does not meet the guidelines." But i can't find the problem.

Hi guys, I replied to a topic on MGS and when i went back to see the reply published my signature does not appear below the comment. I can't see it. Is that normal? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys. I've been a reader and a member of MGS for quite a few months now and i just tought on being more active. So that being said i would just like to introduce myself. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I've been playing for 8 months now and i'm a 45 handicap. I score around 55 on a 9 hole round. I'm 26 and i only think that i shoulde have started playing earlier. What do you love about golf? That feeling that you get when you hit the ball in the middle of the club face. That accoutability of what happens on the golf course depends only on me. The imersive feel that you get. When i play i don't think of anything else. I also love GOLF GEAR! What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I became a big fan of your content and i can say that i'm an everyday visitor of the webside. i don't know any other spies at this moment. Where are you from? What is your home course? I'm from Portugal and my home course is Montado. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The weather here is usually great! I tought the sport would be more expensive that it actually is (it's still a little expensive). What do you do for a living? I'm an accountant. How’d you pick your user name? I'm a golfer and my name starts with D. Simple As i said i'm a beginner but i'm enthusiastic and addicted. There's always something golf related in my days. Being videos, articles, watching gear, having golf classes. Now i'm starting to go to the course more often and look forward to improving my game.

Boy, almost there! Congrats to the guys who won! Enjoy your time on the course!
