Will A Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 My 98 swing speed just got matched to a TSi1 with an Aldila Ascent 46 S. I'll try to track one down to try, but this seems like a very odd choice, considering the target swing speed of that driver is in the 80s.

revkev Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I didn’t but I truly don’t like limiting targets like that made by OEMs. Tru fit is based on actual results from 10’s of thousands of shots hit by real people.

therod Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I did a truegolffit fitting a few weeks ago. It put me in a Wilson D9. It's one of the clubs I will hit when I go to the local PGA store next week. Not sure what I'll get, and I may end up taking my results and coming home to shop online for something. We'll see what the launch monitor results indicate. But I was intrigued by the D9 recommendation... fixyurdivot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an important fitting parameter for many golfers but especially seniors that have lost some swing speed. We keep hearing "High Launch and Low Spin" is ideal off the tee but not if you aren't generating enough speed top keep the ball in the air. I was playing the Cobra Xtreme and hit some bombs with it when my trajectory and spin were perfect, but perfect off the tee is not the average. Most of my drives were not reaching a sufficient apex and would literally fall out of the sky and for me, the Sim Max produced more spin which in turn kept my average drives in the air longer. Yes, I hit some longer drives with the Xtreme but also many shorter drives so my average length was considerably longer with the Sim Max. They did not have the Titleist available when I was fit or I might be playing one too. fixyurdivot, cnosil and Tom the Golf Nut 3 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Ike Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 There is NO STANDARD in shaft manufacture, therefore an S in one group may well be an R in another and often the reverse is true. A fitting using an accurate monitor is a very good start toward a good fit. A certain pro with the initials TW will give no more than three swings with a new club he does not trust. The reason being a human will adjust his/her swing to match the club. I have done many fittings in my day and have seen this malady all too often. Does not matter the name on the door, the important name is on the business card. Read about a man named Tom Wishon to get the real skinny on being properly fit for golf clubs. vamosjackets, tony@CIC, fixyurdivot and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCanuck Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 November 12 2021 I have an unusual observation that results from Adam (at MyGolfSpy)'s interview of TXG's fitter on No Putts Given. The premise of Adam's argument was that there would be greater revenue and repeat customers if retail stores, golf fitters, etc. didn't charge for fitting a potential customer. Some would argue that you get what you pay for when you do this. Yes loss leaders work to bring traffic into your store. It's the retailer's job to encourage them to do more than window shop and instead spend some $$! My question to MyGolfSpy is, if this is your belief then why charge for the TrueFit?

Fitter81 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Only brand of shaft I like is USTMamiya in my clubs.I’ve tried them all and i kept going back to UST….So thats where im staying. My point is just because the fitter or the shaft “Analyzer” recommends something it does not make it gospel. I once did the Mizuno shaft dna fitting and it fitted me for project X 6.5 shafts,I tried them I but my shots were way to high. Switched to some Ust Recoil 95 F4 and boom it was perfect shot after shot……..as long as you know what torque rating you do well with in shafts you can experiment with different flexes and weights but TORQUE is the secret sauce that is all to often overlooked by golfers.

While I'm only at 87 mph, I was at 80 when fitted for the TSi-1 with the R2 flex Ultralight Ascent shaft. After the speed training, the 10 degree head was dialed from 11.5 degrees to 9.25 degrees and the launch was still over 14 degrees with a positive AOA and over 3200 RPMs. Now have the Tensai Blue R flex and border line 9.25-10 degrees with 2500 RPM. So the recommendation for the high launch/high spin combination to solve less than optimal numbers makes sense. For swing speeds over 90, how did the TSi-2 head do? While getting fit, the Tensai shaft was optimal with both heads so with a choice of a shaft or driver/shaft being about $400 different, I went with just the shaft. At 80 mph, the -2 felt like a brick, but just a slightly different feel at 87 mph (speed went to 86 and smash factor up so total carry stayed the same). fixyurdivot and Tom the Golf Nut 2 Quote Titleist TSR 11 degree, HZRDS Red R 44.75 LH Titleist TSR-1 5/7 Woods LH Titleist TSR-1 23 Hybrid LH Titleist T200 7-48 - T350 6 Tensai AMT Red LH Titleist SM9 50-54-58 TT AMT Red LH Scotty Phantom X 7.5 RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an eye opener for me* and I think combinations of spin and launch can only be optimized by a fitter that both knows what they are doing and is using the ball you normally play. I expected to be fit into another Cobra or maybe a different shaft but after hitting virtually every driver the Sim gave me the best results. * When I did the review for the R1 for Taylor Made I was fit into the right shaft and loft for my swing at the PGA Show. I actually liked the RBZ Tour better as I hit it higher and carried it farther but it was producing too much spin. Playing it under real conditions back in Chicago I found I was shorter than my previous driver with a few long bombs that were longer. After talking with the Tour Rep, he sent me the RBZ Tour and the results were much better. Still produced too much spin and in the wind it was a problem but my average drive was straighter and longer. Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Aerojet 3/5 ...
