Yep that makes sense. I’m 93mph with 7 iron and use Callaway Apex TCB. Great irons with more traditional lofts, and still plenty forgiveness. You are on the right lines with some of the irons you’ve suggested though. Just need to go test some out before buying.

Kind of amazed at some of the responses in this thread. This is a really really common issue, especially since covid times. Loads of young, athletic guys taking up golf that have tons of club head speed but still need some help. This is a common issue with P790, and why I personally think P770...

Agree. Driving range balls give terrible number for fittings. Indoor fittings with the correct balls give precise spin readings.

Some of the newer Fraser’s/SD stores look great. Business model seems to be changing slightly. Hugo Boss/J.Lindeberg etc. Might be a good thing for AG. Or could be same fate as Direct Golf, I forgot he bought them then closed them as an earlier poster had said.

Yeah that was years ago, they were bought over after that. This article looks like the buyers trying to move them on already but going up for auction

It’s not often that the price of custom fitted irons drop across the industry. The price of the stock sets will drop but not as much, if at all, on custom. You will get offers that the brands will make industry wide, Cobra 7 for 6 on Darkspeed for example is available just now.

The whole point of a forum is discuss experiences and opinions. We’re all allowed to have one. Just because it doesn’t fit the narrative doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it. Worked for in the past**

In a business that size, there will be newer staff that won’t be as knowledgable as others etc. They use the same fitting training as the PGA does. So with experience along with that training they should be as good as anyone.

Static measurements are merely a guide. And Almost impossible to measure up wrong 😅 Might be interesting to book a fitting nowadays and make a more updated judgement. My own business “years and years” ago was not as good as it is now. Times change. I’ve worked for several brands and...

Handicap is irrelevant. Seen so many professionals and + handicap golfers that are terrible fitters. And also high handicap golfers that are incredible fitters.

You don’t trust GC3/GCQuad or Trackman? Interesting.

Why?

American Golf yeah?
