Over the last 6 months my golf has improved at a rate im quite chuffed with, HC come down quite nicely and im now sitting just above 12, but ive had a few issues of late with ballooned ball flight and some funky shot shapes. Ok we know that these can and often are caused by a swing that was intended for splitting logs and not hitting the little white ball, but after reading many a post about shaft specs kick points and spin rates it planted the seed of doubt regarding how suited to my game my current bag is.
So... some know i was lucky enough to be picked for the AG fitting comp at New Malden, but more importantly this was my first time ever that id gone for a fitting as such. Normally i would go to the local range, pick a couple of drivers i liked the look of and hit them against my current club. If it was an improvement then i would buy it, if not then i wouldnt..... it was a simple theory that was working. Anyway after the recent fitting, even though the shaft spec and loft were the same as my at the time current driver (9.5*/Stiff), it amazed me how much could be gained but getting the correct head/shaft combo. Now the high flight while more apparent on the woods has been spreading to the irons and popping it head up more and more frequently, so today as i had bugger all better today it was off to the local AG for a go on the Mizzy DNA shaft thingy if nothing more than to rule out the issue that is now on the irons.l
Im currently using off the peg burners in stock reg shaft combo and while the iron can delivery some half decent scores, im always feeling that im having to hold back in an effort to get a clean strike and consistent shape. After hitting 15-20 shots with my 6i in their nets to losen up i got passed the dna jobbie. 3 swings later and i was hit with the facts, im creating to much spin from a shaft that is under spec'd and far to weak, and my irons need replacing.
The point of this thread is that for 6 months ive held back on distance trying to swing smooth, but its not been through a swing fault, its been due to my clubs being incorrect for my swing. So by wishing for a free driver fitting (which i must add was very much appreciated GM:thup
im now faced with a bill for new irons, and new fairways,..,
Pros - i get new shineys and there will be some stuff in the forsale section here
Cons - HID is going to go BONKERS!:mmm:
