Badams69 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My apologies for length but please help if you are able! Fitting process = 5 trips of PGA Superstore hitting several brands and styles. I narrowed it down quickly to KING FORGED TEC BLACK with C-taper 115. However upon my subsequent trips I began to tinker with and compare. Turned out that the C-taper 120 provided superior results. Nothing else was close among any metric. Heavier I went the better. I just didn't want to go heavier than this. So I then paid to get a professional fitting with trackman and balls flying through the air for me to get a real picture of what was happening - turns out fitter agreed C-Taper 120 / ONE INCH SHORT / 2 DEGREES FLAT was the ticket. They just are not best for me - SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I WENT WRONG ---- WHAT I MAY DO NEXT TO NEGATE THESE ISSUES IF SHORTER SHAFT IS BEST FOR ME. Short guy / very long arms. Think I simply chose the wrong shaft for me unless I'm really warmed up. Thank you !!!!

Golfspy_CG2 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 When I custom order irons with extra length and mid size grips. I have learned (the hardway) to specifically ask that they be built to a D1 or D2 SW, they can do this by finding a heavier head. While most OEM builders would know to account for the shorter shaft, they may not take it upon theirselves to "guess" that you want it that way, if you didn't request it.

jaskanski Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 From my experience, the absolute last place to get irons custom built is direct with the OEM. On paper, they may well build to a set of measurements, but they simply do not have the time and attention to detail to build to what we call a "blueprinted" set - precision built to your exact requirements down to 1/10th of a swing weight point, within 2mm for length, 0.25 degrees for loft and lie and to within 1cpm of flex. The OEM route is just assembly to within a defined tolerance - which is sometimes whatever they can be bothered to provide on the day. My advice would be to take the OEM out of the loop and stick to the professional club fitter/club builder for getting your irons on spec. I don't really know what your options are with Cobra, but it sounds like you may have to bite the bullet and sell them on. downlowkey, silver & black, Badams69 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the 2nd owner will like them more. Standard playability is a very vague term. What you may play as your standard could be very far off from mine. Have you taken them to a builder and seen what the swing weights are? That could be why it feels like swinging a tree trunk.

GB13 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My advice is to order through a club builder. The builder will fix swing weights, lengths, and lie angle. Generally when ordered from an OEM they are built to "tolerances". This means if they are off by a swing wieght or half an inch or a degree or two, they are fine and "within tolerances". If your order from a good builder, they will build them specifically to your specs, not "within tolerances". They will be exactly what your fitting said you required.

WeekendGolfChef Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Custom builder is the way to go. There are a lot of them out here. Visit the facility and see what they can do for you. Most custom shops have shafts at different lengths for you to try on different club heads. This guarantees you the same feel of the club you buy as the club you hit.

dhartmann34 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I know a great independent club builder that has done a lot of work for myself and others I know. The quality is amazing and his prices are unbelievably good. And he'll talk to you over phone and email and make sure everything is exactly how you want it. He could rebuild or at least redo the clubs to set the proper swing weight and such for you. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll get you his info.

dhartmann34 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If you didn't order the original clubs through the guy who fit you, then I can understand why he doesn't want to fix anything. That being said, the place where you were fit should have had some type of specs on a sheet for you before you left. The fitter would have known that cutting and adjusting shafts would have an effect on the swing weight and stiffness. And he should have specified that. But still you would have thought the OEM would have figured it out, or at least asked you during the phone conversation when you placed the order. Dealing with OEM's though, they're more like an assembly line and not really into the details. You specify what you want and they "try" to make it happen. I have had to check specs on clubs and they weren't correct, even when specified during the ordering process. In this case, it sounds like your best bet is to have a reputable club builder look at the specs from your fitting and rebuild the set. Well, I thought I would get some help from the guy who did the fitting and got his money for it. But he didn't offer much in the way of anything when I made him aware.

Mr. 82 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Mizuno is the only company I will order custom through. Ping is a joke. As in, if I described giving measurements to the last sales rep or club rep that I had to talk to at Ping many of us would laugh our ass off Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I'm sort of offended by this comment, having had my last two sets of irons custom fit through PING. I love PING products, and almost my entire bag reflects that. Now with that said, when I got fit for PING it's not with a clubfitter, as my last one was with Edwin Watts, and this wasn't a situation where I walked through the door and asked them to start from scratch and fit me for irons based on any brand that would be best for my game. I came in already knowing I wanted PING and that it was literally hitting 2 or 3 different iron options and then picking one, including different shaft and head options. But this was over a year ago, and the next time I am ready to invest in new clubs I will go through a club fitter and avoid having preconceived notions of what brand I want to play and just let them fit me to the best clubs that work the best for my swing. And not that I want to pick on Edwin Watts, but getting fit for irons off of an indoor simulator will not be how I do it next time either. Hitting off of a mat is completely different from hitting outdoors off of grass. I won't buy irons next time, unless I am able to hit it outdoors and see the numbers based on those results. With regards to your situation specifically, the only thing I can think of is that how you swung the club in the fitting process was different from when you took it to the course. I tell you that because that's sort of what happened to me. I tested the fit based on purchasing just the 5 iron first, and then I took that on the course to hit it. At first I was getting this clanking sounds and it didn't feel solid to me with that club, and I spent about 6 months with that sort of feeling, which over that time I kept buying the next iron in the set until I had the entire set, which really in this case was only the 5-9 irons. But what I discovered was that my swing plane was off, and once I produced a flatter swing with these irons, all of a sudden, boom, hitting them better than any irons I've ever had. So perhaps get some tape and put it on the bottom of your irons and hit off of the plastic black mat and see if your lie angle is off. Because what I did is definitely not the way to go, because adjusting your swing to fit misfit clubs is something very few people will able to do successfully. And I can already feel the negative comments coming at me at what an idiot I am with the way my process went. In response to anyone thinking that, well, yeah, I truly am an idiot for buying clubs this way, but I'm a blue collar guy with a very limited budget, so I was replacing 15 year old irons that were non-conforming for tournaments, so this is the budget or cheap guy approach to buying new clubs. Heck, I might've been better just going to Play it Again Sports and buying a set of irons from them, and then adjusting my swing to those clubs.

Bobtrumpet Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Ok - does anyone know one of these club builders in the Dallas/Fort Worth area? I'd recommend Dave Murray at the Course at Watter's Creek in Plano. A friend of mine got a fitting there (wound up with a Ping bag) and said Dave was great to work with. He fits most OEMs but also custom builds Wishon clubs (or at least he did). https://www.watterscreekgolf.com/clubfitting/ I've heard lots of good things about Bo Hodnett at Golf Tech, also in Plano. He's had a number of tour guys at his shop over the years. http://golftechplano.com/ Russ Ryden at Fit2Score seems to know more about shafts than just about anyone. He might be a good source as well, although I haven't heard as much about his fittings. http://fit2score.com Dave and Russ do outdoor fittings. Bo may have a range available, but from the web site it looks like he does his fittings indoors. I don't know of anyone from the mid-cities west, though.

Badams69 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 McGolf I loved the 120s during multiple fitting/tryout sessions. However, once they were actually cut it just fell apart. Cobra said they knew just what to do to make these work (We work on Ricky and Bryson's clubs so don't worry- was the line), but all they did was cut off an inch and ship. Cobra CEO stepped up and made it right several months later. Now ---- new Ping irons on the way, after mega thorough fitting to ensure this didn't happen a 2nd time.

As in, if I described giving measurements to the last sales rep or club rep that I had to talk to at Ping many of us would laugh our ass off This statement is a bit concerning to me - given I'm on the verge of placing an order for G410 irons!! My fitter has all the pertinent data from which I presume two things will happen. First that he orders them from PING with those specs. Second that PING builds them to those specs. From yours and others comments, is this a unrealistic expectation? If so, that's ridiculous. Why even bother getting fitted if one cannot depend on a company to build them to a given set of specifications.

Having said that, I would still take the clubs back to your fitter when you get them to ensure that they do, indeed, meet the specs you requested.
