Now, this might sound a bit naive to many of you but bear in mind that this a genuine question from a novice that doesn't yet know too much about golf. It's something I still don't quite understand.
I've seen various mentions on here about getting 'fitted' for clubs. Why do people do that? What's the point? Why not just buy clubs and simply get used to them by means of practicing with them?
For instance, I was fortunate enough to be given a 3-PW set of Taylormade irons as a freebie. I've gone out to the range / course and practiced with them. Slowly but surely I've got used to the balance and feel of the things and I'm improving ball strike just through continuous use of the tools I've got.
Same with my driver and 3 wood. I went out and bought Taylormade Burner Superfast because they were the same make as my irons and I read they were good for beginners. Now I'm simply whacking them out there whilst making minor adjustments to the way I use it so the ball goes where I want it to go.
So, why bother getting 'fitted' instead of just getting used to using what you've already got.
