Club fitting advice

what is puring?

Its best to google it, SST PURING.

but I'd rather not limit myself to one manufacturer.

with your location being Leeds I'd recommend Phil at Garforth range, he'll fit you from a choice of manufactures. He recently did me for my driver and I tried different manufacturers, lofts and shafts, all with the launch monitor... I'll happily go back for irons from them too when the time comes...

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'm just gonna go with this guy after speaking to him today. He's fitted and built clubs for Pro's on the Ladies and Mens tour, seems to know his stuff and says he really wouldn't sell me anything which wasn't right. What I also like is the fact that he says he has loads of clubs/shafts to try except Ping) and that he then builds the clubs himself, pures the shafts and makes sure the lofts/lie angles are all bang on (something I've heard isn't always the case with some fittings).

He also said he will make alterations after if required. Which he assures me shouldn't be the case but is still good to know. I'll let you know how I get on.

Sounds pretty good/normal.

Make sure you don't get led/sold to too much - it can easily happen, as the fact that you are there means that you are 90% sold on him/the process. He can really only fit you on the way you are swinging that day, so ask what he would do if that's not typical.

And ask about Spining, at least irons, as opposed to Pure-ing. Or even 'straight in'.
