    went to golfsmith twice.  first time by golfsmith n second time by titleist

    first time using the launch monitor with screen n golfsmith personnel
    fitting result 910d2 9.5 a1 with blueboard by titleist r flex

    second time by titleist personnel at golfsmith with launch monitor that the rep brought
    fitted with 910d3 9.5 d4 and blueboard by titleist r flex

     

    questions

    1 why it varied so much?

    2. tried rip s flex but had about 1000 rpm more spin with similar launch angle? why? doesn't rip have lower torque n heavier?

    3.  it also happend to ozik s flex with about 500 rpm more spin

    i am more confused after this fitting.  can anyone shed some light?

     

     

  2. Hi Albert -

    In regards to the variation in fitting, please keep in mind that the fitter can only fit to how you are hitting the ball that day and what you tell them your typical tendencies are and if what they are seeing from you is your normal trajectory and ball flight.  Also, when fitting indoors the fitter relies mostly on the numbers from the launch monitor if there is any variation from the machine and numbers its producing, there might be some differences in the results. 

    Honestly, the recommendations are not that far off and could be based on slight variations from your fitting. 

    910D2 9.5 a1 with blueboard by titleist r flex - D2 might have been the recommendation for a more forgiving head that produces a slightly higher launch than the D3. A1 (STD loft/ STD lie) setting based on shot shape tendencies

    910D3 9.5 d4 and blueboard by titleist r flex - D3 might have been the recommendation to reduce your spin rate. D4 (+.75 degree loft/ STD lie) setting to provide more launch (D3 is a lower launching head) while keeping your spin down.  Could also help provide slight Right to Left ball flight.

    We would be happy to help recommend another fitting location where you might feel more confident in the results.

    Please give me a call if you have further questions.
