Well after looking as per the other thread, I took the day off work today and I've spent the last two and a half hours getting fitted for new shineys.
Philips golf up my neck of the woods, an absolute brilliant service, a big big thank you to Martin and Craig.
I went up to the driving range to warm up and hit 50 balls and got loosened up nicely, then went over to Philips and started off with my own 7 iron (CG16) and hit a few shots to get a base line, flight scope averaged my shots out to 171yds carry, launch 21 degrees, then we moved onto the Mizuno JPX825 Pro, lovely club and got some good figures off it, with an increase in distance and dispersion closer. Next up was the PING S55, nice club but it just didn't offer the same feel as the JPX. The I-25 though, that is a nice club, looks nice at address, felt great swinging it and gave good numbers. Then just for kicks and giggles we tried the Mizuno MP-64, Titleist AP-2 and Callaway Apex.
The Callaway Apex, not for me, it didn't feel right and even with a few different shafts the balance when holding it was just not there, I hit a few shots and though the numbers were good, I didn't rate it. Then the MP-64 took its turn, what delightful club, balance, feel, it had the lot and it gave real good numbers. Last up was the Titleist and I really hoped this club was going to sing to me, but it let me down, it was giving great numbers, but it just felt so dead even when I flushed the ball the feel was not there.
Then we had a little bit of confusion with a shaft mix up, so I tried the club I bought with a different shaft option and it became a different club, tried it again with a lighter stiff shaft but still not the same, went back to the original shaft I had tried and the club came alive, the feel was brilliant, the balance superb and it really inspired confidence.
So I'm really looking forward to receiving them and getting out there.
