Driver Fitting Booked for Monday - Anything I should Try??

[Njames.cook2014]

Try everything. Best way to get fit. Sounds like you have a good idea of how you hit the ball normally, tell your fitter and they should be able to take care of you.

I play a 2017 M2 with a Tour AD DI 6 and probably had the best driving season of my life (Ping G10 with a Blueboard was up there too!)

 

I have a fitting booked on Monday. Planning on Trying the M3 M4 Cobra F8 and Ping G stiff. Might give the Rogue a shot but hate the colour and wasn;t crazy about the Epic.

 

My SS is way down form before it's about 106 ish and usually play a high draw with the Driver.....

 

If anything Beats my current combo that is stock im walking out of the store with it.

 

kgeorge78 would love to hear your thoughts after your fitting, my advice try as much as you can and keep going back to your original as well.

 

Keep us posted

You had the best driving season of your life and you're looking to change your driver? I'll never understand WRX sometimes...

 

Sorry to be that guy but why change if you just had the best driving season?

 

if something is better why not..

 

The swing is 95% of it.

 

It's your money and your game, but change is not always better. It might look better on an LM, but it might not work out on the course. Then you're out a few hundred bucks and you might get barely noticeable gains in performance. C'est la vie....

 

lol

 

you guys are funny.

I like new stuff. I like trying new stuff. If something is better I'm going to purchase.

 

Tiger had his best years in 2000s but he changed!

 

Tiger is not a good example of changing equipment

what about the other 200 golf pros that change yearly ? sometimes weekly?

 

Just sayin

First off, sorry you didn’t make it to your fitting but glad you got to hit a bunch of the newest offerings. Hopefully you found something you liked, the M3 was it?

 

Second, do you really think 200+ pro’s change out their clubs yearly or weekly? Are you taking into account the pro’s who only change because of the $ they get? Do you think they are switching clubs because the ones they are taking out of the bag work? Look through the WITB’s, how many precious model or at least year old clubs do you see?

 

Tiger was so stubborn about changing equipment that Nike had to produce 1 ball for 4 extra years that they didn’t even offer on the market. Tiger would not switch. They finally told him they wouldn’t produce it any more for him.

 

EDIT... if you want a new driver, buy one, doesn’t matter to me either way. I just was confused by your reasoning. If you said I want a new driver or had a poor year driving the ball, I would completely understand, but to have your best year ever driving the ball and want something new because of that didn’t make sense to me.

There is a reason the pros dont change very often. Also I would have to disagree about the swing part, I would say the swing matched to the driver and shaft.

 

In reality there is what maybe 5-8 yards difference between 5 yr old drivers and the current lineup? If distance is your main priority cool. If its accuracy, make sure you check it against your numbers for the current driver.

 

Look at it like Tiger said about the M4. Something about during testing he loved it and wanted to put it in the bag but needed to see how it really played, when on the course things are a lot different than in a fitting.

 

Still to this day I wish I had never let my old Cobra ZL Encore w/ a Motore Speeder go. Not the longest ive Hit but matched my swing very well and was a fairway finder.

 

EDIT... that said good luck and not trying to talk you out of it, just trying to say make sure it is justified. Most fitters will try and sell you something even if it doesnt make a difference numbers wise.

 

No not fitters! No way! ;) haha

Go in there and hit everything! Its such a good experience enjoy it. I am hitting the 16 M1 and could not find a new head that was any better then that for me. So i just got the shaft that fit me best.

[Fresh Greens]

M3

[garf0404]

Try out the new stuff and stick with the M2 if you don't see noticeable improvement!

Should OP look at the data to decide a shaft fit or listen to the fitter?
