[bamse]

good day,

next week i am gonna be fitted for the new Ping G series

hybride
crossover
irons 5 to P or should i go for the 6 to P and add a extra Hybride to the set

Vokey SM6
52 F 08
56 S 10
60 m 08

should these have the same loft als the irons??

should i go for the 5 iron of for a extra hybride

Welcome to the madhouse. Where do you play and where are you getting fitted. My advice would simply go in with a blank piece of paper and let the fitter do their thing and guide you based on your swing.

welcome!

Yes, I agree with Homer, having done a few custom fits I'd certainly let the fitter advise on everything and just be sure that you're happy at the end of the process Do post up how it goes and what you end up buying

 

[bamse]

yes i will let you know

Thx

I would advise you to have lessons first.
There's no point getting fitted for your current swing, then having lessons and changing it

Can i just add, that given the PW is 45 in loft I would consider my wedge set up as 50/54/58 or 60 just to get the distance gap a bit better between irons and GW.

The G range is pretty forgiving but as wedges go there are others out there, other than vokeys, that might suit your game a bit more. If your set on the vokeys - fair enough

i already play for 2 years now after a stop for 5 years and have lessons every week

yes i was thinking that too regarding the wedges but now i have a 52-56-60 in the bag taylormade RAC

I would still wait until your swing has improved
