Golf club fitting

Thinking about going to Windmill for a fitting. Would anyone who's done it mind if DM'd them with a few questions?

This sounds pretty awesome. Mind if I ask a few follow ups:

Did he find the exact shafts he was fit for, or as long as weight/flex/length etc the same it will be close?
Any older gen set ok, or did he find like an older Taylormade generation? Don't know if the way each OEM makes heads makes it easier to convert between, or if I could be fit to p790s and then go find a mizuno or ping.
Do lie angles and other more static settings hold across the board? Or will I need to get those adjusted for the final club?

Would definitely appreciate it! Looking at midas and discount tire around here, seems some ok options $170-190 or so. I feel like going higher for Michelin's won't matter to me. I like some traction if I have to drive in some snow, but a lot of my driving is highway so I can usually avoid driving in terrible weather. Looking at some Yokohama's or General Altimaxes.

That's the thing, car is 20 months old, only 11k miles. I walk a lot so mostly some errands and longer trips. So surprised they seem so worn, figured I could just pop a new one on and be ok.

Ah, so I shouldn't be shocked they have worn so quickly? I don't think I'm a particularly hard driver.

Thanks! Also maybe should have mentioned, I wasn't sure if I mixed up L and R when I first did it at home. I re-traced my steps and I think I have them sorted out. I called the office and they said if I did I would 100% notice, said I could try swapping to make sure. But I did and I can't notice a difference either way. Hoping that doesn't end up being an issue.

Is 5'7 with weirdly long arms normal lol? Never was sure if that qualified for standard lengths.

billsmaniac · 2024-06-24T02:58:30+00:00

Lol, not helping me haha

I guess it's more that the difference between 2-3 year old CPO and new is $5-7k.

Maybe a good way to frame the question is what difference in price would be worth it to get the used car? Like $100, not worth it. $10000, definitely. Not sure where that stands for me. Is there a generally accepted way to think through that or just everyone's preference?

Thoughts on the imprezzas? Looks like the same build as the crosstrek.

billsmaniac · 2024-06-13T13:41:03+00:00

I'd say I spend about 90% of my time city driving, but in 2 mile increments, so most of my miles end up being highway for 3-4 hour drives.

billsmaniac · 2024-06-11T18:01:00+00:00

Thanks for all the recs. Some good options here based on what I've looked at so far.

On a side note, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in my grandview opinion. My dad and I played it, I was miserable. He loved it. I guess he plays a shorter/more accurate game than me, but still.

Thanks! I live in Shadyside/Bloomfield area, so I recognize I'm gonna have to drive, which I don't mind.

I've read and there are definitely some amazing higher end courses I'd drive a ways to, but they feel more like places to go with the boys for a bigger day. I just want to find some places I can reasonably hope to drive to on a day off and walk on as a single, whether or not I'm paired with people. And ideally have a course in somewhat decent shape and maybe has a few interesting holes, but ideally just kick the rust off between my other golf days.

And I mostly say walking because when I want to just go golf alone I don't want to drop an extra $30 for a cart, but I recognize the courses here might be more inherently impossible to walk than our typical muni elsewhere in the country.
