I was interested in results as opposed to anecdotal waffle.
Do driver fittings work?

You say in play does that mean knee height rough. Cause it’s not gonna be anywhere near the fairway.It can turn an out of bounds slice into a fade that stays in play though. ??

Absolutely I love a wee monty.Have you never hit a fade that's stayed on the fairway before..?
How far right do you a think fitted driver will go compared to a good one off the self? Pick any driver you want I’m thinking maybe 10 yards but if you are that far right it’s not the club that’s the problem. If you are constantly that close to out of bounds then get a lesson a £500 driver wont

Helped me, because a lesson is all well and good, but it takes a lot of practice, and in the meantime, I was still smashing balls all over the show.
I don't care if you don't believe it works, I just care that it works for me.
And I'm still having lessons.

Good stuff if it works stick with iNo swing is the same. what I enjoy is that you could see 2 guys 250 yards away similar height and wearing similar clothes. But if you know both of and played with you can spot who is swinging instantly

I am going for a tee, glove and hat fitting soon. I’ve been told it will solve all my golfing woes and for £50 how can I go wrong.

So funny - and predictable! - how this thread has gone! ?
I was asking about if it could help increase my carry distance because at the moment my carry is very low compared with my total.
For some people, it appears that unless a driver fitting makes it impossible to hit anything other than straight AND results in several shots knocked off the handicap, then they're just snake oil masked in smoke and mirrors. ?
Why on earth did it end up as a conversation about such extremes?

Because as I said earlier in the thread, you always get the old traditionalists who reckon you "can't buy a golf game". Even though many of us have experienced and seen good results from fitted clubs.
A fitting should definitely help not only get the right driver but the right settings such as loft to get you the optimum carry. ??

So if the your fitted driver stops working do you just get a new driver fitted by someone else??

If you think your carry is poor then book a Trackman session and see what's happening.

Okay I'll bite, even though your clearly just being silly.
Define "stops working"?
Assuming I have been fitted for a driver (and remember - assuming you've even bothered to read the original post?! - this is going to happen AFTER lessons) and it did help increase my carry distance. What would constitute "stops working" in your view? What if it worked for five years but then declined?
Or are you seriously asking about the fitting working and then my carry dropping off again within a few weeks/months?

And let’s be honest most amateur golfers have now idea how far they hit a 7 iron. Just to confirm this next time you are playing and you or your partner is right next to the yellow 150 marker and end up short. They will tell you I hit an 8 iron 150 easily.

Calm your jets all I’m sayin is people look too much In to fitting. Yes get the shaft stiff, regular or senior. But for me it’s how a club looks and if your are confident with it at address then go with that one.

Where scores are made is from 120 and in. Have you had a fitting with the clubs you would use for this kind of distance?
