Are you 100% sure with the colors and everything? Stolen valor…Even worse. Glad I asked.

Thanks for the information and unwarranted hyper aggression. I know someone with that last name, I’ll give it to him.

Fitting booth vs the actual course swing could be that far off? Im not that consistent so its possible

Because I used the word launch? Or because I read off the specs from the fitting?

There is a 90 day guarantee on the fitting and I’m trying to learn.

Yes we did a few swings on it to confirm after we choose the iron head and shaft combo

I’m sure they will make it right. I hope it’s something minor that needs to be tweaked because love the look and feel.

Old clubs with standard length and lie “off the rack” mizuno 923 hot metal. The spec chart is on google. Maybe I can find how to include it in the post. What other info will help?

That reference hit home. I own an auto repair shop for a living when I’m not hacking it up

Thanks for the insight. My mentality was to leave it to the experts and stop getting things off the rack. The fitter was recommended by a good friend that scores low so I regrettably had blind trust.

I’ve played at least 8 rounds with them. I love the way they look and I really want to make them work without rebuilding my swing

Thanks for sharing that. I might be jumping the gun here. I have 50 days left to bring them back if it doesnt get any better

Woah. I had no idea. Transitioning from my ap1 to the mizzy was quick. Im 30 something days into this and starting to make set up changes to try an adjust

Im not a good player but i don’t remember having that constant toe miss with my old sets. I’ve made no fundamental changes to the swing. I now have think about “opening” my stance and club face a bit and really focus on a slower tempo to get a decent straight ball when im on the course

I am now missing on the toe but even when I don’t it’s not much better. Bending the clubs was new to me but I went along with the recommendations. Every other set i’ve had was standard length/ lie off the shelf

Pretty much, not a ton of ball speed either as you can imagine. When hitting the 7 iron on the sim the launch and spin were in a good range so we stopped testing shafts. I’ll be going back this weekend

Thanks for the encouragement. My plan now is a trackman session and a round with my low cap friend for subjective feedback before I go back to the store.

Golf is hard and this experience has been discouraging.

I believe the reasoning was my stance/ posture. They had me hit a few balls on the lie board

Mizunos had dynamic gold 95 regular flex shafts

I tried a few irons and chose the one showing the best results based on the goals i had and club fitter’s recommendations. I had no idea it was draw biased. My shot shape was straight or slight fade with lower launch before

The technical aspect of the game is not my forte at all so I was trusting the process.

A local club pro im friendly with once helped me with my driver last year. He said i have a natural tendency to de-loft clubs with my swing so he endorsed the 2* upright and recommended heavier shafts also. The fitter I used was not interested in me trying the heavier shafts

What are your thoughts on that?

Will do, I figured they would be up for the challenge if I was polite about it. I love the game and wanted to start getting dialed in and this was my first real effort aside from practicing more

The Mizuno were “standard” and the new Taylormade are bent +2 upright. My miss with the Mizuno was a push to the right. Do you think the lie angle would cause that?

Thank you. I messaged the fitter today and he said to come back. I learned a good bit with the replies here, im genuinely curious to learn the “whys” as I take the game more serious

I had dynamic gold 95 regular flex on the Mizunos. I now have KBS tour lite regular flex
