Mizuno wedge fitting

[ademac]

I was lucky enough to be picked to take part in the mizuno wedge fitting next week at Bearwood lakes and I am chuffed to bits!

I have been eyeing up a set of mizuno wedges to compliment my irons but with a 3 month old baby the wife would kill me if I brought any!

Very greatful for the opportunity and really looking forward to the experience!
Best get my haircut if my mugshot is going to be in the magazine!

Well done chap delighted for you! Couldn't enter, away with work. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with them and moreso what the fitting entails/reveals

Get in!

I was picked for a Titleist fitting last autumn, GM will make sure you have a great time. Enjoy the clubs when they arrive.

If you can get a game around bearwood as well it’s a cracking track!

Congrats. These GM days are always a good experience. Bearwood Lakes is a great set up and they'll look after you

I dont know who else was selected but I'd be up for trying to get 9 holes in after we have the fitting.

I put my name down for this as BL is just around the corner from me and my wedges and wedge play could have done with a overhaul.

Any way I think I've worn out the refresh button on my keyboard so it wont be me, but enjoy the experience and course if you get out for some holes.:thup:

Thank you, really looking forward to it.

My current wedges are 15/16 years old so will be fascinated to see the difference in spin rates with some nice sharp grooves

GM reader test days are the bomb - enjoy it, I know I did.

It’s one of the best I have played.....

Had a really good afternoon despite the weather!
The guys from Mizuno were sound, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable etc.
The GM guys were great too and it was nice to meet Simon who was a nice chap too.
The wedges felt good to hit and very happy to be getting a set of wedges that fit in and continue from my irons.
Hopefully will have a bit more consistency in the scoring clubs now.
Interesting to talk about bounce and lofts etc too.

What have you learned about loft and bounce and what did they fit you for?

What have you learned about loft and bounce and what did they fit you for?

I was fitted for 50*, 54* & 58* wedges all with low bounce.
We spoke about loft gaps that fit in with my irons as my PW is 46* and it would keep it all consistent through the bag, that was pretty much common sense to be fair but I wasnt as aware of the effects on bounce though.
The fitter had me play a variety of different shots with different wedges and asked me how to I like to play the shots, ball position etc. He also asked where I would play most of my golf, typical turf conditions etc.

It then became fairly clear that low bounce was best for me as I like to play a lot of short game shots off the back foot and have the leading edge almost clipping the ball away (if that makes sense?).
