That’s got a wide sole. Agree they do amazing work but I think it may have been different off grass. Moreover, directionally he hit the MMC much straighter.** I’d have bent them 2 weak to add bounce** and it may have produced a much better result

I've had terrible enough fittings that put me in equipment I immediately regretted and after a couple of those "wasted money" experiences, I wouldn't hesitate to go to a person who absolutely knows what they are doing for the extra cost.

It’s all relative in the end. If I was 100% confident because of a placebo, I’m still 100% confident. That being said, getting fit at the end of your season and waiting and buying “new” old or gently used over the winter is a better way to economize a pricey fitting. I am always willing to pay for someone else’s mistake or whims.

Is that Canadian dollars? Not sure what the exchange rate is ..

[Z1ggy16]

Their rates are in CAD I believe. The exchange rate changes all the time... when I went it was a pretty good rate for me, I think that I was basically getting 30% off everything due to using USD. The rates at TXG aren't outrageous; a full bag at a place like True Spec (where Ian used to work by the way...) is $450.

[Bubbtubbs]

Titleist and Taylormade are also $400 CAD for full bag, unless they've changed their prices since last year.

 

At least with TXG you get access to a wide variety of equipment combinations to try instead of being pigeonholed into one brand.
