RookieBlue7 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Do yourself a favor in case they don't have face tape available. Take either a whiteboard marker or a sharpie. Instead of typing it all out, from here I'll copy and paste Tom Wishon's words on how to do the test. "The ink line on the back of the ball technique for dynamic lie fitting is simple and logical. A heavy ink line is drawn on the ball with a Sharpie pen. The ball is placed on the ground with the line vertical and facing the clubhead. After impact, a faint image of the ink line is transferred to the clubface. If the line is perfectly vertical on the clubface, the lie of the club is correct for the golfer. If the ink line tilts in an angle up toward the toe side of the face, the lie of the club that was hit is too upright so the correct lie has to be flatter than the lie of the club being hit. Vice versa — if the ink line angles up toward the heel side of the face, the correct lie has to be more upright than the lie of the test club." Do this step AFTER the sole tape has been done (and the club adjusted). This simplifies the fitting and need to keep going back and forth. I prefer to do every club. I also own a loft/lie machine and can do that. Some stores don't or won't do every club (they should but usually don't). Just make sure once adjusting your test club that the clubs are adjusted from the test club (if they do the hit one club fitting). Once you have that first one right, check the spec from the stock specs. Then adjust lie angles based on stock lie angles (meaning the actual specs from the manufacturer not take every club and bend it x amount from where it sits currently). Lots of stores will say 1 degree upright and will bend every club a degree up from where it's at currently instead of saying "the stated lie is 63 degrees and we went 1 degree up so it's now 64 degrees. That means the next club's stated lie that's supposed to be 63.5 should be 64.5 degrees." There are tolerance built in. Make sure they bend them based off of stated specs and not their current position.

PlaidJacket Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm pretty big on fitting. Especially irons. But is a driver fitting all it's cracked up to be? Especially nowadays with all the adjustability they have. (yes... I do think it can help) I've tried twice to get a fitting for a driver and both were a bust or at best a non-starter. I currently play a 2014 SLDR I received here on MGS as a tester-reviewer. It's off the shelf. The only thing I selected was a letter designation for shaft stiffness. I selected an S shaft. I recall I was luke warm on the club during my review but generally thought I had a decent club. A year thereafter I tried to purchase a custom fit and built Wishon driver. For whatever reason it was a complete bust and I returned it. Last year I attempted another driver... the Cobra Fly-z and Fly-z+. I couldn't get a good fit I felt at the time so I stuck with my SLDR. Back to 2014 again... during that summer after I'd gotten the SLDR I went to see a pro-fitter and we worked on a LM with the driver and made a few minor tweaks but still kept the original shaft. Since then the SLDR has turned out to be the best most reliable and accurate driver I've ever owned. This leads me to today. Or... this past Friday. A friend of mine bought a brand new Ping 10.5* G30. He had walked into a shop, looked over some drivers and walked out with the G30. No fitting. When we played he was wearing that thing out. Granted, he's a decent player with about a 5-6 hcp. Not bad. I noticed how he was flighting the ball well while retaining his normal shot shape. He said he'd gained some distance too. Good for him. The only thing I didn't like was the sound of the club. It sounded like he was hitting a tennis ball with each shot. So... did he get lucky with his Ping? Did I get lucky with my SLDR? For me I do think I got lucky. Especially regarding the shaft. Is driver fitting over rated? I'm inclined to say it is.... a little bit. I'd still at least want to try a few different head and shaft combos (outdoors) for my next driver but I'm not all that sure a full Club Champion style fitting is necessary for me.

Liberty Ball Markers Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I tend to agree - I've been thru an on-course fitting and loved it. I also took away enough info to know what works for me. Irons - I know my length/lie numbers, prefer the DG S300 shaft, and always play a MB head. Some heads feel better than others, and that's all I need to know. Putter - same deal - I know my basic specs, and it all comes down to feel. Driver - mine came from trial and error, but started with basic specs that I work well with. Also a feel judgement at the end of the day. I'm just not a numbers guy - and maybe I'm missing something by not checking out everything the world currently has to offer. But... put me on a LM and find a shaft that gets 4 yards more on average but it feels weird to me, you can keep your 4 yard shaft...

PlaidJacket Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The thing-difference between iron fitting and driver fitting is the bending and weighting of the heads to name two. I don't have the proper equipment to bend and adjust my irons. Never will. But with a driver I can adjust and weight them myself. Provided I can test several shafts and do all my adjusting, etc. outdoors to validate; I'm good to go I think. My eyes will pretty much tell me all I need to know. When I'm getting the same or better distance, same shot shape and height I think I'm fit. But the key is to do all this outdoors.

ole gray Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have been reading the blog by our very own Tony Covey about "Center of Gravity and how it affects drivers. Here are a few lines that I found interesting from the blog that I will share here: For golfers who consistently hit the ball high on the face, a higher CG driver may produce better results, while golfers who habitually strike the ball low on the face will likely benefit from lower CG clubs Closure Rate or Dynamic Closure Rate is the rate at which the clubhead closes during the downswing. The more forward the CG the slower the closure rate. Clubs with slower closure rates are generally described as being more workable. Back CG designs with faster closure rates are more forgiving, and can help to mitigate a slice. On a comparative basis:Drivers with forward CG locations often feel heavier than those with rear CG placementsA forward CG location will cause the shaft to feel stiffer.Because of the effect on closure rate, forward CG drivers may be harder to square, and some golfers will find it difficult to control the club during swing One rule of thumb (and there's not universal agreement here) is that an ascending AoA is generally suited for mid-cg, descending fast – forward, descending slow – back. Where you impact the ball on the face matters. If you're a consistent high face guy, regardless of AoA, higher CG may work better, where low CG generally works best with low face impact. This is true of toe and heel side as well. The best results come when the CG and impact point are aligned. Ok so now maybe I can be advised if a guy with a swing speed in the 88 - 92 ish range, who hits the ball high on the face could possibly benefit from a driver with the center of gravity more forward? This is interesting stuff however I'm not one of those techy type folks who grasps these concepts right away.

RookieBlue7 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 2 questions: 1. will the same strategy work if I use foot spray on the club? A lot of people recommend using athletes foot spray on the club face if you don't have impact tape and that you'll be able to clearly see where the ball impacts the face. 2. if you're at the range and marking up their balls with a pen won't they get a little perturbed ? Sorry haven't been here in a while. Forgot about this post. The purpose of the sharpie and line is not to see where impact is like with foot spray. The purpose of the line is to determine dynamic lie at impact in relation to the ball. Lie tape on the sole will lie to you off of a lie board. The line left on the face of the iron should be perfectly vertical when you hit the ball. If it's tilted toward the heel or the toe, that's letting you know if the clubs are too upright or too flat at impact (where it matters). The line is vertical on the ball, if the line on the face is also vertical, that means your impact is correct and the lie is correct because the club comes in perfectly on plane from heel to toe. 2. I've never had a range say anything. They're range balls.

Pkc Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm a bit confused, got fitted by a local oem rep recently, they suggest I use Nippon modus 120 in x flex. I've always used dg s400 and more recently as I turn 40 have switched to kbs tour in stiff. My swing speed is a little over 90 with kbs a 7 iron and flying about 170 yards, with 7,100-7,200 rev spin, dec angle 49-50 and 105-110 ft max height. With the modus x, my swing speed is about the same maybe 91 instead of 90, flying 170 yards, 6,700-6,800 rev, dec angle 46-47 and 90-96 feet of height. Which would you fit me for and is the modus really a half flex softer than kbs tour? Thanks ahead of time, Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
