I'm getting new clubs for Christmas--been playing Dad's hand-me-downs my whole life. Anybody have experience on getting fitted for new sticks? I'm visiting the Ping factory in Scottsdale tomorrow--any advice before I go?

Just go in there with a clear head and don't try to force anything. Just swing away and be yourself, let them do their thing. You should get a great result.let us know how it goes!

Thanks, man...will do. Was a little worried about whether I should be going, because a few weeks ago I was tinkering with the swing (almost always a bad idea) and the results weren't good--got me thinking it's not the clubs, just me. But recently I've gone back to a basic "take it back and swing away" mentality that seems to be the right approach, so I think now is the time to make an investment in proper sticks.I read somewhere recently that Tiger Woods says the most annoying question he gets is "What clubs should I play?" His response (paraphrased) was: "Go get yourself fitted. Every golfer, every swing, is different."Anyway, my dad was at Ping not long ago and said the crew there is amazingly patient and smart--I guess there were some real hackers in there that day, and they were still able to help them in a big way.

Every time I shoot a new best something happens which keeps me from playing. I've been swinging harder and hurt a muscle under my shoulder blade. Not bad, but bad enough where a day off is required.

Don't do anything different than you normally do. Don't go in there with a bunch of swing thoughts, or try to impress the club fitter guy. The closer you come to your everyday normal swing, the better.

Nutz-Played Gold Canyon in Globe this last Sunday. Hands down on of the most beautiful and fun courses I've ever played. My old man shot 86...normally good enough to beat me on a course like that, but...I crushed him with an 80! Best score I've ever shot on a legit course. Wait until I get those G10's, baby. If I make it to the WSOP golf outing, you guys are TOAST!-TP
