So at the weekend we were in Manchester visiting family so no golf for me. I ended up doing a deal with HID that I go to the range on the way home, so rang them to see if I could have a knock with the g25 irons. They said I could and if I could book in advance they would put me on the flightscope, winner.
So took my 5&8 irons plus pw just to compare. The pro was great and pointed out my ball position was slightly out and a touch too near my back foot which helped! So overall all flight wise nothing unexpected prob a club difference in distance but more importantly a lot tighter on dispersion, lovely clubs in my opinion.
Now before I went I had already looked through the ping online fitting and done my measurements and was expecting 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer shafts in white dot. My only thought was wether to have stiff or regular shafts so was looking forward to trying these options out.
Now this is where the fitting blew my mind, the stats showed I was averaging 80mph swing speed, well in regular territory! So not only was I looking at old man clubs I was swinging like one! The next weird thing was the black dot and standard length shafts were working for me best! I'm 6'2" so this was really odd but obviously not uncommon. Now my callaways are 3/4" longer which is obviously wrong and gives me a good excuse to spend some cash.
So now all have to do is block this from my mind in the short term as all I can think of is "these are too long" so here's to new shinies and hopefully as soon as possible!
Has anyone else had anything strange come from a club fitting?
