ole gray Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 I had an interesting day at the Taylormade Kingdom of Reynolds Lake Oconee. I hit balls with regular Stealth irons and the HD model with several different shafts to include regular and senior flex. The ball used was the TP5 model which is a great ball however I wish they would have had the Tour Response or similar compression ball to use. The fitter knew his stuff and he could tell what lie I needed by marking a ball with a black verticle line and then had me hit it. After only a couple of head swap outs the mark left on the clubface was straight up and down. 1 degree up with 1/2 inch increase in shaft length was the ticket for me. I'll report back after I have had some on-course time with my new Stealth HD irons!

Glad to hear you enjoyed the fitting and can't wait to hear how you play! Thanks buddy I'm excited too! I texted Taylormade yesterday to ask if they had begun building my new irons and no response. Called and the message said they were off for the holiday.... I could actually drive back down there and pick them up as it's only 40 miles away and it shouldn't take long as they had all the components on-site.

Lot's of shots off to the right with poor strikes. Hopefully, these numbers will grow once I can rotate around my spine better. He put me in a senior flex which was definitely an eye-opener. I guess at 72 years old and my flexibility gone to the shat house brings senior clubs.

Flex is only relevant to a shaft line in the same weight class. But also keep in mind the recoils can play stiffer so again it may be their version of senior in this shaft. ole gray 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the process and take in everything you can and have lots of fun! Video editing at it's finest! I inevitably hit some of the worst shots I've seen from myself in a long time every time I get in front of someone in a hitting bay. I can just hear the store associate's thoughts "has this guy even played golf before?". Once I get a little warmed up and use to them being there, I start hitting them a lot better. Just remember they've seen the full spectrum of swings. I remember going into a club champion when I first started because a friend said I should get fit for clubs early. Went in, hacked it up for about 15 min. The guy very respectfully told me he didn't want my business yet . Recommended I stick with my beginner set and get some lesson to at least get my swing consistent. Didn't charge me for the fitting and I immediately became a repeat customer for that location. Did my putter fitting there a few months ago and it was great. ole gray 1 Quote Callaway Rouge ST Max LS 9* Driver w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Shaft Callaway Rouge ST Max 3W w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Shaft Taylormade Stealth2+ 3Hy Ping iCrossover 3i Callaway Mavrik 4Hy - Benched Mizuno JPX 923 Forged 5-AW TaylorMade Hi-Toe RAW 54-10 & 58-10 L.A.B.
