Head Pro
Went for a fitting today to finally replace the Steelhead 4 wood I've had for many years, after a quick discussion and few shots with the old 4 wood we looked at the results from the launch monitor and decided a 3 wood maybe better so the fitter put together a couple of clubs and after peppering the range left, right and centre i settled on a KZG GF2 3 wood with an Accra firm tipped shaft. I had decided beforehand to go with whatever came out best (remember reading a post on here a while back about someone getting fitted and not looking at the heads so brand/looks didnt influence his decision and I wanted to do the same).
Also had a putter fitting whilst i was there, currently have a scotty Newport 2.5 (going spare!
) it was an impulse off the shelf buy, always loved the look but it's been a bit inconsistent and I've always felt there was room for improvement (had putting lessons too). After watching a few putts he noticed a few (too many) things, tried a few different putters for style/feel etc, then used the adjustable. Scotty is a bit on the long side for me, too upright and the grip is too slim, now I know I could have had the putter chopped and bent etc... But to be honest... i want something shiney... Or matt black... Opted for seemore fgp original. Scotty is a million times more sexy no doubt about but the fgp performed waaay better, liked the riflescope thing too, an added bonus, so it was a no brainer in the end.
Going back in ten days or so once they've been built to hit the them and see how they perform. All guaranteed so any changes will be made, even if they don't work at all they'll be swapped at no extra cost. Couldn't argue with that...it was a cracking experience, the time flew by, i love all that geeky launch monitor stuff too, should have made a note of the numbers, I'll get them next time if they are saved, Roll on middle of feb!
The pro II's are getting on too so they will be next to go, he did mention something about muira's....house is already for sale!
