Putter will be ordered ASAP, all other clubs will be ordered EVENTUALLY… Driver is likely second, and I’m waiting to see what I should do about the fairway and hybrid. I’ve emailed Pat, the fitter, but they still can’t say anything about how the 430 stuff is different from an internal weighting aspect, so I’m going to wait for his recommendation. If the 430 fairway and hybrid are likely to be more left-biased, I’ll go with 425. I have the Mizuno Hot Metal Pros arriving this week, so I’m in no rush to order the irons. I LOVE my Edel wedges, so the wedges may get ordered last. Money is an issue, so it may be awhile before I have all of it.

Cool.  You could have really floored us and responded "the clubs come with the sponsorship/fitting" .

Such a cool experience! I'm still stuck on the Ping S55 irons and am getting near the need for an upgrade. Nice to hear about so much being done in house instead of China then assembled in US like some other major brands. Assembled in America just doesn't have the same feel as Made in America to me.

Wellllllllll… I didn’t order the putter because I was able to make adjustments to my Edel to set it to the same specs as the PLD, BUT….

I ordered the i230. 4-GW, DG X100, Blue dot, +1”, midsize grips +2 wraps, D6 swing weight

The i230 arrived today!!!! All-set for Wednesday

They are legit stunning.  Awesome write-up!  Loved hearing the process, and having someone be an EXPERT at their job must be so refreshing compared to a lot of the other 'fitters' at some big-box stores...:) 

How is it you were able to adjust your Edel to the same settings - did you bring it to a pro, or were you somehow able to do it yourself?  Loved that aspect - super cool!  

Congrats on the clubs, and definitely keep us posted as to whether the woods follow suit!

I took the Edel to where I was fitted for it and we adjusted a few things. I had already talked to Edel in-case a complete set-up was necessary, but it wasn’t.

Driver will be fitted again, and ordered sometime in March when a Ping van comes here locally.

Thanks for the kind comments. It was a great experience!
