I just had a go on the Ping web fitting tool and it said my ideal irons are S55 with CFS Stiff shafts. Code yellow fitting and grip code white. Interesting to see if this is what transpires.....

That sounds cracking , I am sure you all will have a brilliant day, I will be interested to read your review Snelly especially in regards to custom fit and if you feel that it improves your play mate.

Had a swing of a demo S55 along side my S57. They are very nice indeed. The perfect sized head, enough head to look forgiving but far from being shovel sized.

Cant wait for my fitting now, looking forward to what people get fitted for. Be interesting to see if the i25 or the S55's are offered to you snelly.

That is what their web fitting tool says but I have an open mind on this and want to try every set that has a 3 iron in it so the G25's might be the one for me. No reason why not. Of all their clubs, the S55's are the ones I least favour at this stage because they will perhaps be to some very small extent, harder to hit well with greater frequency than the i25's for example. I might be completely wrong on this though.

But as I say, totally open minded at this point and have promised myself to go with what the fitter recommends rather than what my personal preference is. The reason being that I want to test the custom fitting process properly and completely rather than just turn up with a preconceived notion and ask for what I think I need.

One thing is for sure, definitely going to the driving range this weekend! :)

S55's would be my 'players' choice, however I tried the i25's recently and they are just so easy to hit, I could see that making golf even more enjoyable........plus they look ok these days. This Ping fitting sounds like it will be the best fitting session ever seen on GM or anywhere else outwith the tour.

Down the range tonight grooving that swing Dave? :)

On the 0-100 jealousy scale I'm only about 1.



Did I say 1? I meant 100.

Have a brilliant day, even the forecast is looking good!

3 rounds of golf since Christmas means that yes, I am definitely going to be a the driving range this evening! :)

Funnily enough, one of those was in the Centurion Club neighbourhood at Brocket Hall with one of my customers who is a member there. We played the course with the par 5 18th over the water and I thought it was very good. I was quite impressed with Brocket all round really. Have you played there Gordon? If not, it is worth a visit.

My only decent golf all year was a sub-par back 9 there. Fingers crossed for more of the same tomorrow... :)

Shame you won't be there - be good to catch up and check out Centurion! Have you seen the way they categorise memberships with the Roman theme? You can be a Senate member or a Centurion! :) Nice. :whistle:

I have already packed a toga for lunch and am planning to call in to see the Greenkeepers to see if I can instigate a slave's revolt!

Cheers,


Maximus Snellius.

No not played Brocket, only played a handful of courses in that neck of the woods (Moor Park, Old Fold Manor, Sandy Lodge, The Shire and The Grove that I can think of)

Relaxed dress code at Centurion, no tie required with your toga ;)
