Albatrossx3 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Anybody else try this, I was truly disappointed. The process is simple, in fact far to simple, who knows exactly what their subjective tempo is. And how much this makes a difference. I have a slow back swing, at least my results are better with one, and an aggressive forward swing. I have a Zepp sensor so I know my real tempo, and I use a Sports Sciences radar so I know my swing speed range, so give me the option of putting in my exact tempo. The results were even more disappointing, only two driver results were shown, no where was the loft recommendation nor shaft recommendation listed. And after navigating around the site, the two driver recommendations were reversed. Originally it listed the Srixon 765 as the longest, then, it listed the 565 as the longest. These are both 2017 models, so are those models better than the 2018 versions? And there was supposedly a 12 yard range between the two, so after looking around I am confused, I wonder if other drivers fit in between these two and I wonder if I wasted my $7 on useless information. Quote Three, Albatross' Three Holes in One Plus, when I was 5 the first ball I ever hit on a golf course went in the hole, so I have that going for me.

Fortunately, there is a review underway (the thread hasn't been posted yet), where testers are being sent their top recommendations to test. I agree that there seems to be a lot missing to make such a recommendation but trust that Adam and Tony have done their homework and have isolated the most important variables?

Hopefully they are able to resolve them and proceed with the review. I know everyone is anxious to hear about results of the reviewers TGF fitting.

Yes, I tried this and was very disappointed with the results. I do not recommend this because it only showed two drivers a Srixon (must be a sponsored make because it was mentioned in the above post) and some brand I have never heard of,.and as mentioned before, no loft or shaft recommendations. The "buy now" buttons was a big red flag it is a sales tool for a retailer. I do not recommend this "fitting tool" to anyone. You still would be better suited to go to you local golf store and try demo clubs to fit yourself. I forgot to mention this fitting tool does not send the results to you email.

MrKallander Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Have you guys read the articles and the other threads regarding the True Golf Fit, it is only a fitting recommendation tool based on trackman data. Its for people who buy off the shelf and don't get fitted. It just give's you options to try based on data, there is an expert mode to add your actual swing speed and angle of attack to help fine tune so to speak. So when you go in to demo driver's you can say hey I hit these one's usually but I would like to try the Srixon and Mizuno line and maybe Tour Edge drivers. Just thought you guys should know that it's no way designed to give you the exact driver you need, just to give you options to help narrow your choice.

de golfer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If you bothered to read the post I stated that the fitting tool (not MyGolfSpy) must have a retailer sponsor because two very different golfers were advised to buy a Srixon and a "buy now" button attached to the recommendation. There was no need to get all butt-hurt about it. I am entitled to my opinion and I said I would not recommend the online tool. I rely on MyGolfSpy for unbiased information.

de golfer Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Please read my response to the other person whom I quoted. I do not like when a fitting tool refers you to an online store. There was no loft or shaft recommendations. I watched the video where the current driver was evaluated and two driver recommendations were offered. The online tool did not ask my current driver loft or brand. I strongly recommend you keep your personal judgement to yourselves. It is my opinion that the driver fitting tool needs to ask more questions. I see that you use Srixon equipment I guess you and your friend are offended because I mentioned that brand. I will try the drivers recommended by the tool to compare.

Please do not comment or respond as you are judging me and others who do not like the online tool as it stands As the guy who basically came up with the logic behind TrueGolfFit, I thought maybe I should hop in and set the record straight on what's getting kicked around here. The lack of loft and shaft recommendations is a valid criticism. The roadmap has both being added for 2019. As far as your current driver brand goes...that's largely inconsequential. The data we ask for (swing speed, attack angle, and tempo) are not club dependent. We do sometimes see small changes in attack angle, but that's accounted for in the programming. Basically, we don't ask about your current driver, because we don't need to know anything about it. We need to know how you swing, not what you swing. I always find it amusing how people will start with one criticism (lack of loft and shaft) and use it as a launching pad for a full-on conspiracy theory, e.g., I got recommended two Srixon drivers, therefore MGS must be in bed with Srixon. Let me says this in no uncertain terms: there are no OEM partnerships that impact TrueGolfFit results. All recommendations are the result of a matching algorithm that finds the best match for your inputs within our shot database. A quick amusing anecdote; we got feedback from someone inside one of the OEMs...his chief complaint was that his recommendation was a Titleist driver (he doesn't work for Titleist). He didn't love it, but he also understood the recommendation wasn't the result of some grand conspiracy. We match your inputs to our data. That's it. The system has no bias. If you were recommended a Srixon driver or two Srixon drivers it's because when the tool searches the database of shots collected during testing, Srixon drivers produced the best results under the parameters you entered. The tool uses a total performance metric that's more robust than distance alone, which is what accounts for the gap in the distance, but there is no in-between in your case. As I said, valid criticism on lofts and shafts. The rest is, as my daughter used to say when she was 4, is just silly business. fixyurdivot, Golfspy_CG2, GB13 and 14 others 13 4 Quote MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies.

Markelly82 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I tried this and was fit with a PXG driver. I was never considering buying one of there drivers bc they're too expensive. The secondary option was the Ping G410. I ended buying the later. I bought a Project X even flow shaft to go along with it. I normally test a lot of options prior to making a large purchase like this. Due to Covid, I didn't test any other options and just got the G410. A buddy of mine has the Taylormade Sim and it feels really nice coming off the face. It feels like it jumps off the face. I hate having buyers remorse but it seems pretty easy to get when it comes to golf clubs. Quote Driver: G410 LST, 10.5 *.
