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?

[Potsie P]

Edit: just getting fitted for irons.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Well done sir! Especially after the snowman on #3.
Swinging harder with the shoulders, huh? Definately Jim Flick one-plane stuff going on there. Keep up the good grind.

BTW, you can still practice your short game
