Hi again,
Previously I was playing with a set of MX-23's which I had stolen in May (were stolen from me, not that I'd stolen) - these weren't fitted, just off the peg and were my first clubs on taking up the game 2 years ago. I was advised to just play and find my style first, then think about spending money on game improvement once I'd started to learn more about my game.
Whilst trying to sort my claim out I borrowed an old set of Wilson Staffs from my brother, that were his old clubs at least 4 years ago. After getting used to them I found that I was hitting them about 2 clubs further than my old, stolen ones. e,g from 150 yards I used to hit either 6 or 7, with the Wilsons it was 8 or 9 - I know its not always about distance, but with this extra yardage I also got good ball flight and better control.
I recieved my new MX200s from the insurance about a month ago, again straight off the peg as they were insurance sourced through Direct Golf. Now I'm back to my old yardages and am finding that I've brought in a bit of a fade too - probably as a result of trying to hit the ball too hard to keep up with my interim yardages. I've actually considered just using the Wilsons and getting rid of the 200s.
It's frustrating me enough now to go and get them fitted properly though, which I've booked in for this week and will hopefully sort me out - but my question is about whether you think I just struck lucky with a set of clubs that fitted my style (the Wilson ones) or whether the more cutting edge technology of today leaves behind golfers whose games arent advanced enough to benefit from it.
