  • Club fitting concerns

    I am in a similar predicament as PF123 though I have not yet bought my clubs. I am trying to decide between Callaway x18 pro series or the new Big Bertha Fusion Irons. My driver swing speed is around 90, and I too am looking at the 99 gram uniflex. I am a 5' 8 " female currently playing Ping I3+ A flex irons that are too whippy for me. (My woods and drivers are all Callaway mens reg flex) I was fitted regular length 3 flat by ping rep Terry Graham last year, but every pro who has seen me swing thinks that that my irons are too flat, and the concensus has been that I should be in Steel.

    Do you believe that standardly us 5'8"ers need to get 1/2" off, and 2 degrees flat. The Ping static fitter puts me at 1 to 2 degrees upright. I don't know if this means anything, but whenever I grip my current irons I tend to try to grip them right at the very end, as they never seem quite comfortable. I will also say that my swing is more back than up

    The Big Bertha Fusion Irons are a dream... Highly reccomend a test drive, but am not crazy about the look. I do however love the look of the X-18 pro series, and I am a fan of a thin topline and smaller head.

    Anyhow, would love any input you may have,

    Re: Club fitting concerns

    I am pretty new again to golf, I played alot as a teen, quite well actually, but 15 years off has put some gigantic kinks in my game. None the less, as far as club fitting goes, most of what I have read is fitting is proportial, meaning most people in proper set up will use standard length clubs, unless thier legs, torso or arms individully are out of proportion. This is not saying I agree with this, but that seems to be standard convention. There are a few sites out there that offer free online club fitting based on at home measurements, which may be a good way to compare what you have been told, but even then a person seeing how you set up is going to best be able to set you up properly I would assume.


    Here is a link to one free fittting site.
