This is how its done....be broad in describing what u want. Let trackman show you what you need

Have to disagree here. I was fitted for my current driver,'17 M1, at Club Champion. The stats said this was the club, but there were other clubs that felt better to me. It was great at first but it didn't take long for the shots that didn't feel so good to end up not being very good. It wrecked my confidence and I started spraying my drives. I went back to my '13 Titleist driver and hit much more accurate drives, albeit a little shorter.

When I get my next driver, I'm going to make sure I get fit in an outdoor setting. I want to see and feel my shots and pick the club that suits me personally, not get hung up on stats. Let the fitter worry about the stats, you focus on what feels/looks right.

Gonna do a driver fitting here pretty soon. Anybody know a place in DFW that will do an outdoor fitting?

Cool Clubs does indoor and outdoor fitting. They are the guys that branched off one of the original golf fitters, Hot Stix, that started in Phoenix.

They know their stuff

In the Houston area I highly recommend Swanson Golf. I would ask to have your fitting done with Daryl Parrott. Very knowledgeable and does not push any specific manufacture on you. I did an iron fitting two months ago and completed a wedge fitting last week.

I've done a fitting with Daryl at Swanson's and at Impact Precision in Spring. Impact's fitting blows Swanson's out of the water. Go to Impact.

Edited to say Impact deals mostly in custom/aftermarket shafts, especially in graphite (they won't put you in the stock graphite shaft that comes with the driver) so if you just want a basic fitting, Swanson's is fine and Daryl does a good job. For irons I'd go to Impact because most manufacturers allow you to change/upgrade shafts for no charge or minimal charge, so you won't see a big $ increase for the club like you would with the driver.

My only reservation with Impact Precision and other fitters like them is their reliance solely on the data and simulator. I feel like I would need to see the ball in the air to make a completely informed decision. Did that not bother you during the fitting process?

Any recommendations between the three fitters at Impact Precision? Brett Callas, Trevor Sauntry, or Major Bell? Their website doesn't offer any experience details. I carry a 5-6 handicap if that matters.

I thought it would bother me because I'd only been fit outdoors before, but no it didn't bother me.

I mostly work with Brett and really like him. I've worked with Trevor also (he's one of the owners and seems to do less fittings but does a lot of the club work) and he's good. I haven't worked with Major.

One thing I like is they order everything uncut and build it all there. They don't rely on the manufacturers to get it right (which they normally don't get it right because they're mass producing and building).

You can tell whether something looks/feels right and then compare that with the numbers. They've completely reworked my set (couple new shafts, swing weights, cut down driver and 3 wood, etc) that I had fit at Swanson's and it's 10x better.

Good to hear.

I'm looking to replace my full bag of clubs. I've got $750 in pro shop credit I need to use to accomplish some of that though. Do they provide you your spec sheet to allow buying clubs elsewhere?

With their custom build process, which I know has advantages over the assembly line, how did their pricing compare to MSRP or other retailers?

I'm with you and prefer to see my ball flight...it rained on the day I was supposed to get fit at Cool Clubs and we did everything inside....it was just fine. Though I still would prefer an outside fitting

It's the same pricing and yes, they'll give you all your data. Just let them know what you're wanting to do. I've bought a couple things on pro shop credit and taken it to them to do the club work. They have one of my clubs right now. They're fine with that also.

If you aren't looking to pay a decent amount of money for an upgraded graphite shaft, they're probably not your answer for the long game fitting. They don't really have anything "stock". All their shafts are going to be an upgrade. Irons/wedges is a different story.

Any experience with Golf Tech in Plano? Looks like a driver fitting is only $50 through them... which seems crazy cheap so I'm a bit skeptical?

Yes.

Bo does some of the best club work in DFW.

He knows his sh**.

Would you say...bo knows?

Agree with jj...bo is great. Did mine off his simulator but worked well.

Golf Tech is fantastic

Thanks, Guys. Booked a driver fitting for a week from today with Bo.

Getting a driver fitting with Bo this afternoon. Excited to see what happens.

Driver fitting with Bo went awesome.

Switched my shaft from a 50 g reg flex to a 75 g stiff with it tipped 1".

Club head speed was 103-105 mph, but ball speed with my old driver was only 130 mph with 5000+ rpm spin. Went up to 150 mph with with 2800 rpm spin.

I need to fix my attack angle though. I'm coming way over the top and my attack angle is a whopping NEGATIVE 11 degrees. I'd gain a ton of yards if I can get that straightened out.

Anyways, Bo is a good dude and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Major at Impact is a great guy also. He fitted me for new irons and driver last year. They have no issue at all with you buying clubs somewhere else. I agree with whoever said buy standard loft and lie from the manufacturer and let Impact bend them. They are much more precise.

I've started ordering an inch over standard and letting Impact rebuild them. My Mizuno irons I ordered from the factory were all over the place on length. My 4 and 5 iron were the same length.

I've picked up some single clubs on pro shop credit since then (driving iron, wedges) and ordered +1" and taken them to Impact to cut, swing weight, spine, and bend. They do a great job.

Really nice improvement, should get you 250ish carry which is plenty.

Yeah it should, but my attack angle is so steep that it's closer to 225 carry with 40+ yards of roll.
Need to fix that with some lessons.

I'm amazed you are only at 2800 RPM with an attack angle that negative. I was pushing 3000 at around a -4.

New shaft and getting the angle closer to 0 has me down to 2200-2300.

I got fit for some Mizuno Irons recently and it was easy for me to do with where I work. I'm really not sure with how much it changes a game but the best thing that I got out of it was having a selection of which shaft is best for me.

Impact Precision Golf. Went after I had been playing about a year and got my current irons fit to my specs (I'm really short). Trevor was highly professional and really cares about what he does. I know a few college players from the Houston area and every one of them uses impact.

Will be going back once my swing gets more consistent to see how much a change in head would benefit me

I was fitted for the Fujikura Pro 2.0 Tour Spec 70-S.

The heavier shaft with those characteristics fit my aggressive swing perfectly.

Bo really nailed the fitting.

Thanks for the Impact recommendations - quick question, the Trevor that works there, did he used to work at Club Champion? I remember a Trevor there but he didn't do my fitting - I think it was done by a guy named Mark.

Same Trevor.

Try a Titleist Thursday's... they do free fittings at select ranges/courses

This. Done this twice with irons and fairway woods

ok...got fit. great experience. as many here said would be the case, the amount they charge seems pretty crazy.

being 6'6" and needing lengthened, extra stiff shafts and larger grips, is there anywhere online to accomplish all of that without paying through the nose?

Got my kbs tour x-stiff on ebay from a reputable site for about 26$ a shaft. Then 13 tour velvets midsize for 72$. Had to buy my driver and 3w head used from other places, but got the shafts on ebay as well.

Overall spent less than 900, was quoted 2200 from the shop

If you want new, buying directly from the manufacturer is still at least 20 percent cheaper than the fitter. They con people into "rolling" shafts etc which is completely unnecessary

i have the specs so can do all of that online but what about adding length to the shafts?

sorry for the dumb questions, first time doing this.

When you get raw shafts they'll be full length: that will be over what you need still and whoever you have install them will just cut them to length. Where are you located?
