Yeah I think I’ll keep track on my phone the number of rounds or buy a backup to replace it for when it gets worn out. Not sure if I grip tight or what but definitely won’t let it get that bad again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Currently in AZ (Tucson) helping a relative out from post surgery. Since I’m from Chicago and don’t have a car my golf opportunities are limited. In a good year I’d play 10 rounds realistically but even that is tough to do at the moment. My relative lives on an executive course and that’s been fun. Decided to play a longer course (aka par 5’s) nearby. Arizona National. Pretty cool course but the dessert is cruel when I’m hitting driver erratically. A lot of forced carries that made it tough. Anyhow I knew my glove was in rougher shape. It had a tear in the palm (I’m lefty so right handed glove). Especially the sweat and heat, my old glove was a wreck. Once I bought a new one at the pro shop (Footjoy), it felt so much more grippy and different. Definitely will replace at the first sight of breaking but my new one is genuine leather so should last longer.

In looking at GolfWRX, it seems a bit disorganized to me. I love the organization here of how things are laid out and really intuitive. I think GolfWRX would take a lot of moderating and cleanup to turn it into what I understand it was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the Evnroll ER7 felt more weight in the head. I already have enough weight in the grip and the shaft. The lengths are the same, I really like the Evnroll putter grip with the weight etc. I know it's a bit different as the Enroll ER7 doesn't have a face insert like the Odyssey has. I felt the head weight of the Evnroll ER7 more so in the stroke then I do with the Odyssey. Does that all make sense? I think I answered all of your questions.

Good thoughts all, I'll see about maybe led tape or tire balancing weights. I already have a weighted putter grip (I think Evnroll) which is great. Distance control is good just need the putter to be a bit heavier until I am able to upgrade.

I have a Odyssey Marxman White Hot Putter. I tried an Evnroll ER7 and that felt great at a fitting I went to. That head is 370g plus a Evnroll weighted grip. I was looking at maybe buying some stick on weights but they seem to be in .25oz increments. Plus I don't need a whole box of 90 weights! Thoughts/suggestions?

So an update, I emailed True Spec some questions and they responded. Bolded are the questions I asked and below and answer I received. If I decided to get a whole bag fitting, could I split up the sessions or get fit for irons, wedges, and a driver first and wait more than a month to get fit for hybrids/woods and putter? We strongly advise for client who wish to break up an appointment into two sessions, that they do so by scheduling both appointments in closer proximity to one another. That said, if this is the only option that will work, we can do so. I'm a lefty, how is your lefty suggestion? Aside from putters I'd imagine you'd have a good variety right or should I check closer to when I book the appointment? We have a wide selection for left handed players. If you are interested in a particular brand/model, please let us know in advance, so we can check the availability for you. Unfortunately, we have only 6 putter options for left handed players. I don't really know my distances though I think I knew at least a while back I hit my 8 iron 125 or 128 yards. Is that ok I'm not quite sure about my distances? You don’t have to know your exact distance to schedule an appointment. Do you offer ball fittings? Unfortunately, we don’t offer a ball fitting.

Hi when you get the chance @GolfSpy MPR I'd like Lefty and Broke 100

I found this thread and saw that TXG just did a YouTube video on tee height with some really interesting insights

@TimoTe good point about getting fit for my driver and wedges first. I fully expect to pick up at least 10 yards or more from a driving fitting. Yeah I think having confidence in my wedges would be great too!

@dhartmann34That's an interesting thought, if my irons were a bit newer I'd consider just getting a shaft adjustment. Maybe a stupid question but how did you determine you needed to get your shafts changed following your swing changes? @juspooleThanks for being a lefty, we should commiserate in pain together! When you bought the driver and shaft, did you have someone locally instal them together? Still feel good about them? Yeah the way I see things, being confident about my irons, wedges, and putter would be priority. Maybe irons, wedges, and a hybrid/wood. Driver can wait if needed. Great thought about submitting the Evnroll putter into a putter refinisher. Good idea! I'll look into that and see if they'd take it. Yeah I remember when I got fit and I have the email exchange that the guy adjusted things on my current putter and said I could totally buy some weights at the hardware store and achieve a similar effect to buying a new putter. Maybe I just wait on getting a new putter and focus on my irons and wedges instead as I'd save a lot of shots with approaches to the green.

Great plan about fitting in two sessions like @dhartmann34 suggested, also I wish there was a decked out fitting company or setting that only had Lefty options. When I got fit at TXG for a putter, the fitter mentioned it was glad I was getting fit then as they had a better lefty selection that week but depends on supply and what players come in. Also it can take a while for them to get orders in too I guess. So when I do get fit I'll for for sure ask around or inquire with the shop/company I choose about lefty selection. Interesting about Club Champion and the spending over the time period. I'd have to see about if they offer something or not when I choose to spend a good chunk of money through them. Also wondering if I'd still be fine getting fit indoors instead of a location that has an indoor outside facility. How do you like your irons and other clubs you've gotten from being fitted?

Good idea about getting it done during the winter. I would totally get cost savings for sure. That said I'm wondering given I live in the midwest that the winter is when my season doesn't happen anymore. I'm a little weary of getting fit when I'm out of practice come winter instead of say middle of summer. Great idea of splitting it up into 2 days, I'd imagine whichever one I choose that as long as I ask they've probably be able to schedule it that way. As far as finding a builder, how'd you go about that? I'm intrigued about the possibility.

Also I'm leaning towards getting fit at True Spec Golf as I have a location here in Chicago instead of Club Champion.

Hi all, I'm JD and in in the next 6 to 12 months I'd like to upgrade my golf clubs. I played in high school though that was almost 10 years ago. As evidenced below, I have clubs that are significantly older so an upgrade would do me well. The only thing is that I'm left handed so sometimes club selection isn't the best. That said it's much better now than years ago. My handicap isn't tracked but if I were to guess I shoot in the 90's usually, really happy to shoot 90. Also I'm based in Chicago for reference. Currently I'm playing the following: Driver Ping G5 with Alda 60 gram shaft, R flext, 43 inches (2005) Hybrid: Taylormade Rescue Mid 4H (2002) Irons: Callaway Big Bertha Irons (2004) 4 iron to PW (this set also has a 10 iron so not sure what the lofts are on the 10 and PW) Wedges Titleist older wedges in rough shape, beat up, and very heavy Putter Oddesey White Hot XG Marxman (2008) Last year I was able to go visit TXG and get fit for a putter. They spec'd me for a Evnroll ER7. Pretty pumped for it though wish they had the black finish but that's only in right handed unfortunately. I guess I have several questions: Do I do a full bag fitting or do I decide to do it piece by piece? I've never been fit for a golf ball but am really interested in doing so, should I get fit for a ball before getting fit for clubs? Do I buy used, buy new and order directly from the manufacture, or oder from the club fitter? How do I budget for a full bag? Any other thoughts, advice, or questions would be greatly appreciated.
