My Titleist Fitting at St Ives

You certainly did give me lowdown Hawkeye. Nice informative write up and only increases my determination to get along to St Ives for what sounds a top notch service.

Who did you book your fitting through and where are you going to get your new gear from?

My wife booked it but not sure who, I will find out. However who you book through isn't really important. It has to be a PGA pro or affiliated organisation. Once you are done with your fitting they e-mail the specs to you and the pro you booked through. If you buy through the people you book through you get a dozen free balls but you are free to buy from anywhere you like. I will buy from whoever gives me the best deal. You can't buy direct from Titleist but if you have your fitting Tuesday or Thursday morning you can get your pro to order there and then and pick the bats up that afternoon.
 
Sounds great but sounds expensive. It will be nice for you to get some new toys.

Did you use the Made for kaili or real ones? I am surprised you went for a 5 wood over a 17* hybrid? But you seem to love it. So it seems you like the shafts I like, Kai'li and PX5.5.

Enjoy buying the new toys buddy!!!

Thanks for the info, when you do get round to buying them could you let me know where you got them from.

Cheers
 
OK, so the new bats are ordered. I was originally not going to get the Driver because the cost of the whole lot was a little high but I mailed Snainton Golf and Clubhouse golf who were the cheapest according to the website and both offered a decent discount. However, I spoke to our Pro Ali who gave me a very competitive price, plus I have some winnings to spend so I ordered through him. I'm just hoping yhe come in time for Saturday (although since we're playing our second round winter knockout I don't think Homer shares that hope :D)
 
I was hoping that if they came in the pro will hold on to them until after you use the old Pings for one last hurrah, shoot level par and single handedly steer us into the quarter-finals of the knockout. Call it an incentive to play well and get the new shinys as a reward.

Imagine how much better it would be to do that with the new sticks though :D

He's got enough to worry about carrying me, trying to get us through to the next round without getting hung up on new clubs and not knowing distances or being use to them

Hmm ye, you can bet money they will be different lofts or run on the ball...
 
Great read, sounds like a wonderful experience and it's an excellent advert for getting a proper custom fit. So in the end did you get all the kit?
 
Great stuff, a good read.
I was fitted 3 years ago for my Irons at Titleists Scottish fitting Centre based at Kings Acre just outside Edinburgh.
Absolutely brilliant experience if it had cost me £100 I would still have paid it, turns out it cost ne nowt.
My pro not only didn't charge me for fitting he pulled up Direct Golfs website and matched their prices.

All in all, a great experience....fittingworks.
 
The Ping is dead, long live the Titleist :D

I've just been told by new bats were shipped yesterday so should be with me by tomorrow - I can feel the Pings ebbing away and I'm starting to feel younger already
 
great write up, took a while to read though!:whistle: i know a few people who have been fitted by the pro with titelist clubs and they have dropped a handful of shots, so it should be a happy 2012

Do I not like that. Best you get some bloody hard practice in with them down the range. You're suppose to be the lynchpin of this dream team and I'm relying on you for Saturday

Good write up matey. Will look forward to seeing the new clubs on Saturday when hopefully they'll take you and homer through to the third round of the winter league
