Ok folks Monday is my big day! I'm looking forward to my first ever driver fitting! I've been fit for irons on more than one occasion but never the big stick. If I hit the ball like I did Thursday I will be embarrassed :unsure: however I guess those folks are use to hackers as well good players.

OG, I had my first ever fitting of any kind on Thursday for my G400 driver, and let me tell you it was enlightening. If your fitting is anything like mine, you'll be some glad you did it. But you probably know that already...

Full bag fitting... Some common sense advice, drink plenty of water the day before, rest up and get a good night's sleep. The day of, stretch... Then stretch some more. Warm up with some half swings. Rest up in between shots if needed and take your time. Have fun, after all, the 20 yards plus you will be gaining will be well worth it!

Also, bring a banana... Just in case you get cramps. Hate to shutdown the fitting over leg cramps 😁

No it's only a driver, fairway, hybrid fitting although I may upgrade if they are up for it.  Or I may say since you all threw me to the wolves you can check my irons and putter while ya at it.  ;)

 

Just kidding of course as these folks have been awesome working with me as I have had to cancel more than once.  Not to mention after swinging a driver etc. for three hours I will be hollering Uncle for sure.

That is a long way to go. Then DEFINITELY get some rest. Bring some Gatorade and snacks. Don't take too many warm up swings as they'll throw out some of the ugly swings anyways. And go in with an open mind. Know what you want to accomplish, but don't be set on a certain brand/type. They'll guide you in the right direction. And ask questions.... lots and lots of questions.

Do they have a vending machine for snacks and drinks?  I'll do as you say however it would be nice if they have a drink machine on site.

 

Today is my fitting so I'm pumped to say the least!  I'll be heading over to Atlanta around 11:00 today.  My fitting is at 1:00 so I'll have time to stop for lunch and get my body fueled up. 

 

I hope I find the driver of my dreams today!  :wub:

My location did not have a machine for snacks or drinks. They did give me a water, but I brought my own stuff as well.

Have a great time. I just missed the half off window as I didn't realize that my area had a club champion until mid February and by that point I didn't have the time to book.

 

Been watching the tour experience golf videos on youtube which seems very similar to club champion and it has me itching to try it.

 

I'm like you in I have only really been fit for irons and usually I do change the shaft but just look at specs (low spin and flex and kick point) although I really don't know half of what I need.

Yea this is truly going to be an eye opener for me.  Hopefully I can find a good fit that will last this ole coot for years to come.   I'm not getting any younger so a good solid fitting should suffice for a long time. 

 

 

 

Callaway has release 53 drivers since OG first won this contest for the fitting!  Glad to see him finally getting fit today!

 

haha Joe you ain't right !  :D   But ya probably right  ;)

I was back at Club Champion today to get the rest of my fitting finished up(Driver, fairway, other). What a day! I have blisters in places I didn't know I could get blisters. But that's what I get for hitting 200 balls.

 

 

 

Happy to see that you had a great experience at the Deerfield location.   I am heading there tomorrow to get the Lies adjusted on my irons/wedges.    Wedges are all stock lies but the irons are 3 up based on my fitting at the PGATSS, but I think that it might be too much as everything is going way left now.
