I had a conversation with a OEM rep a couple days ago. I asked him why are LH options so poor because 13% of the population is LH. He said that their numbers are 3-4% of golfers are LH so that’s why us lefty’s are SOL.
Not sure if he’s right but I’m pretty sure they have more data than I do.

I think 13% is the number of Lh golfers. The 3% he speaks of is probably the amount of Lh golfers that they plan on for the business. Since not all LH golfers will purchase from them.

I thought the total population was 13% which would make since if only 3% of them are golfers. Regardless it sux for you guys. My dad was left handed and played during 80's-90's when it was even tougher to find LH clubs. Sucked for me too because I couldn't use any of them.

I grew up swinging RH clubs because that’s what we had in the house. There’s more companies now that provide Lh equipment so it’s not terrible, and we have a pretty good community of us that will sell and trade between us so we can get equipment at less cost than buying preowned from OEM or GG or someplace like that.

I suppose that's possible, but if that many people are getting fittings at Club Champion and taking their specs elsewhere, then CC needs to change their pricing for fittings.

They also need to update their web site.  I'm not so sure I want to be fitted into a set of M3s anymore.

 

FWIW, I'll be at CC tomorrow, getting a fitting for the D7 Forged. I explained what I needed, and they're more than happy to oblige.
