Finally got fitted, new woods in bag!

injectedcutty · June 6

TLDR: Finally got professionally fit for new fairway woods with the understanding that I would get whatever fit my swing and preferences no matter the brand, as long as within budget! Tried a bunch, landed on Titleist yippee!

I've always been one of those golfers that bought off the shelf and just learned to hit clubs with a couple exceptions. In high school, actually most of junior golf I had a set of clubs made for me, but they were always knock off brands. I was never technically fitted. As an adult, the first club I was sorta fitted for was my PXG driver a couple years back.

Since I've really been following the MGS guides, tests, etc I've taken my game more serious and the results show. I'm pretty much scratch handicap now compared to about +10 a year ago.

Fast forward, I bought a used M2 5 wood and realized real quick it wasn't for me! Sold it quick, then went to the galaxy to try and hit a couple shots to see what felt right. Narrowed it down to a tsr2 and the QI10 (out of budget). Left there and made a fitting appt at the preferred place in Louisville, Golf Headquarters yesterday. The fitters there are well respected and know their stuff. I was prepared to buy whatever fit the best regardless of brand or model. I hit 5 or 6 different brands and wound up back at Titleist! I wanted to love the Ping woods, but it was way too skinny, the stealth 2 didn't feel right nor did the Paradym. I ended up with a TSR2 3 wood, and TSR3 5 wood and couldn't be happier!!!!

Tech has changed, my old RBZ 3 wood was my go to 215-230yd club, heck that's the 5 wood now. I went out and played 9 yesterday evening. I was averaging 245-260 with the 3 wood. Screenshots below are on same hole, I almost friggin drove the green yesterday with the tsr2! Now I'm debating on getting fit for a new driver, and definitely irons in the next year as my AP2 are in great shape but I know I'm behind the 8 ball on distance. Thanks for reading my rant!

Nice setup. Congrats on the new clubs. I have the tsr3 driver and love it. Have the 16.5 tsr2 wood.

Great job @injectedcutty ! Nice looking setups

Nice choices!
I'm in the process of rebuilding my bag this year. Irons and wedges are done, and I have a TM fitting in a couple of weeks. I missed the Callaway fitting day and am hoping Titleist comes out soon.
I'm hoping Titleist is the winner, due to the new GT line coming out the TSR line will be far less than the others. But we'll see what the numbers all tell us.
My Sub70's have been great, but they are all pre-owned (excellent) from their website and a few years old. So I'm looking for new options, but Sub70 and Takomo are still in the mix too.
So glad your fitting turned out great and you're really getting on with them.

Congratulations on your fitting, sounds like you are a big winner. I went to a ping fitting and no matter what he tried they couldn’t beat the numbers of my TSI 3,. Now waiting for the GT series to come out.
