Felt it was time to join the ORKA movement and got myself fitted tonight with Alex at Milton Keynes.......what an experience...I learned so much about my swing, and my perception of what would work for me was totally blown out of the water.
I was sure I would end up with a combo set, but the figures said otherwise.......tried a few different head/ shaft combinations / lie angles with varying results....the best figures were head and shoulders above all the others in terms of dispersion and extra distance.....
Before figures with my Taylor Made MC TP 6 iron
avg carry 159 yards
Avg total 169 yards
dispersion 24 yards
After figures with the final shaft/head combo
avg carry 172.25 yards
Avg total 184.74 yards
dispersion ...smaller than the green....... :thup:
So 13 yards carry and 15 yards total increase with a much tighter dispersion........couldn't have been happier.
Ended up with the RS3 head with NH9 flatline Pro in regular 4-PW.
Added a couple of the RS18 wedges and going back for a driver/wood/hybrid fitting as soon as he can fit me in.
The entire experience was brilliant....Alex really knows his stuff and also offered a couple of swing suggestions which I can take to the range tomorrow.
I'd met up with Fundy earlier at the Abbey Hill range to hit some balls. We then headed back to his place to watch Tiger reclaim his world #1 spot and then it was off for a bite to eat before we both headed off for the fitting. Fundy came in really handy taking notes of the stats...he makes a great secretary.
Finished off with determining the grip size and length (1/4" long)
Didn't need any time to go away and think about it, it was the easiest decision I've ever had to make. Alex took the order and clubs should be ready next Friday.
Another ORKA convert.:whoo:
