    This past week I went to get fit for clubs at the Manchester Lane Facility. This was my first time getting fitted for clubs and I wanted to create this thread to talk about my experience and allow others to share their experiences of getting fitted for clubs.

    The facility was absolutely gorgeous even in the winter, and the hospitality from all of the Titleist staff was above and beyond. They made the experience feel so personal and it helped me ease the nerves. As a gear head I loved every step of the fitting process from trying different shafts and clubs heads to seeing the numbers and improvements. A special shout-out to my fitter Chris O'Rourke for such an amazing experience and comprehensive fitting. He walked me through everything he was looking at and made me feel confident with my new clubs. I ended up getting put into the GT2 driver and hybrid, GT280 Mini Driver, T250 4 Iron, T150 5-PW, and the new SM11 wedges. The new clubs are expected to come in two weeks and I am looking forward to taking them on the courses for the 2026 season.

    Was it all in a simulator? Or did you get to hit any outdoor shots? Know it’s winter but it looks like there are some covered bays.

    Thinking of doing the fitting in the next few weeks, but would like to see true ball flights.

    Sounds like it was a great experience. Glad you had a good time. Update us after you put a few rounds on the new clubs.

    Have fun and play well.

    Hope you enjoy the new sticks! I went in for a GT fitting conducted through my local Golf Galaxy in mid-2025. The fitting was a great experience, but I had trouble generating the results I’d hoped for. Ball speed was 20 mph lower than my TSi2. I blame it on my swing, and maybe the fact that they had no way to lengthen the shaft by my normal 1”. Overall a fabulous looking club and a really good experience. I’m due for a new putter and intend on getting fitted for that as well. Considering a low/zero-torque model. As someone else mentioned, it would be great to hear from you with an update once you have some data points. Play well!

    In my personal opinion, large retail stores tend to focus on sales that day at the expense of getting your best fit.
    Going to a Titleist sponsored fitting and putting down the $100 earnest money, you can be sure that person is willing to take the full hour to find out your expectations and will be able to order a driver to the length you need. There is no upcharge for a custom order using stock components from any authorized dealer. If GG sold you a driver out of their inventory, that’s a red flag to me.
    Did you try the shaft from your TSi driver, since it is the length that worked for you?

    My son finally went to his first Titleist fitting after a rough '25 season. He is a 3.2 index with tour level speed (125 club /180 ball ) & distance (290 carry). He is playing a TSR 2 driver with stock Hzrdus stiff 70 g 9 degree driver. His idea of a fitting was to hit a few clubs at the bay of a national retailer and pick a club based on feel.

    He was fitted by Andy Inman. It was an eye opening experience. After one hour, Andy had him fit into a GT 3 11 degree with an 80 g Tensi White 1k pro. Andy took a quick look at his '23 T100s. Of course, the shafts were to light and not stiff enough. Once he saves some $, he will be back to get fitted for irons & wedges.

    Golf equipment is a financial investment so it makes sense to get it right. More importantly, the proper equipment will definitely make the game more enjoyable. A fitting will not fix the swing or eliminate bad shots but the bad shots wont be as bad and the good shots will be even better.
