not sure what the half measures is about?
Yes my divots do tell me a story or to . in wedge fitting a divot will not tell me how much bounce my club needs! the lie tape and board tell thee more than a divot!

MVP,
Just interested to know why the pro has suggested the three new wedges. If he's been teaching you, he should have a fair idea of how you were swinging without lookins at strikeboard results.
I've bought various sets of clubs of my club pro over the years and he has always fitted me properly for them. my first fitted set differed from the last set as the two different manufacturers had different specs to start with. However, his insight into the way I normally swing has helped on a couple of occassions. Yes I have had lessons of this guy in the past 9with more to come courtesy of santa)and he knows my faults when I get lazy with setup etc. But at 6' 2" myself and an upright swing, I have always had clubs with a more upright lie than "standard" so I am curious as to how you have been recommended flater than standard wedges.
Anyway all the best with the new clubs when they arrive.

You know dave it baffled me . when i work(hate to use this word as i hate work) with my pro he send sends off to practice, each time theres something new to practice which in turn changes the swing therefore things like impact position changes.
after todays club fit . he said to me your still hitting out the heel a little but he recons its my swing plane a little too inside coming back down so hes giving me some drills to work on to improve my swing, he will only say these are the clubs for you when he's 110% sure that ive got the technique right! if you go to a mickey mouse american golf fitter they will not know jack about your swing . i bet you they say these are what you need in about ten minutes rather than focusing on the important stuff. because they wanna make money! On that note remeber this. No one could give a !"£$ about your swing other than yourself! at the end of the day your pro is there to help, some more than others! Im lucky because my pro is in no rush to make money he wants me fitted properly for his own comfort that he has done his best, but thats him.
Also in regards to wedges they are a different fit to irons! at the moment my pro recons my wedges should be 3deg flatter where my irons are somewhere in between standard and 2 deg flat. till i get my technique right we wont know! as mentioned earlier its not height and wrist to floor its impact position! my knees might bend more/less than you . my knees might be nearer my feet than you, i might bend over the ball more, my shoulders might be wider/shorter than yours these all effect your address position and impact position where impact is the most important. But get the technique right. if your a beginner/improver you will need more tweeking as you get better/worse as time goes on so custom fitting isnt a one off everyone should get checked every year or two!

I am considering (seriously) getting a set of irons. What I don't know is whether I really need them. My current clubs could be spot on, I have no way of knowing right now.
I can get free fitting if I buy a set from my pro but I am now seriously considering getting him to check out both me and my current set (lie angles etc).
If at the end of that I have no need to change then it would be worth the cost of a lesson to find out.
If I do need to change, then it is free if I get a new set from him. Drawback - like most pro shops they don't have a wide range to choose from but with my fit known I could get a set from elsewhere and it's still worth the cost of a lesson.
