mreaves Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm taking the plunge and getting fitted for clubs. My Mizuno MX-17s are 15-16 years old and even my driver is almost 10. I'm 55 now and I've lost a little swing speed. It was never huge to begin with so I'm thinking it's time to update the technology in my bag. Or at least some of it, I may not be able to afford to replace the entire bag. One of the big hurdles I have to overcome is that I've always believed that fitted clubs and new technology won't help me if my swing isn't great. Has anyone here been fitted? What should I expect?

Try game improvement irons. I have ping g700s and they make a big difference over my old irons. 14 handicap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 My handicap has gone from 13 to 17 over the last 3-4 years. It’s not the clubs entirely but it could be some of it. I’m definitely looking at game improvement irons. Pings like yours or Mizuno JPX 923s interest me. I have a Ping G25 driver and 5 wood. Maybe I start with the woods?

Maybe I start with the woods? Do you hit your woods a lot? What part of your game holding you back? If it's distance on your long irons you might want to try a seven wood. I have one and it's pretty much replaced my 5-iron. Plenty of loft and easy to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I start with the woods? I was looking at buying some Pings individually since I don't use all the irons, cheaper to buy them that way, the Pings I looked at were $150-$190 each and do what Ken said and use woods for the longer irons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I start with the woods? Improvement irons make a difference for sure. I hit each of my new irons at least a club further and if I hit them right, two clubs further. I like to try my friends clubs when I'm out on the course . Sometimes you find a winner . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 The new technology will definitely help. My irons are 10 yrs old. I spin my 7-iron at like 4500 rpm. Wicked high. I hit a newer iron in the simulator and it instantly dropped it to 2500 rpm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Used driving range for a pretty penny at Beaver Creek today . Lots of Marmots on this golf course . I wanted to hit my driver , the range went to about 175 and then the Rockies were basically the back drop . Couldn’t help but let the driver rip several times and just crush some off the Aspens . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Played yesterday’s @ Beaver Creek . Challenging course . Fairways are tight and they like to run water across them around 275 yds out. My highlight was driving the par 4 11’th hole. It was a nice uphill challenge . My ball was about 10 yards past the flag. Unfortunately the two tiered sloping green was too much for me , and I 3 putted for par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand on this a bit, I have always had a set schedule of play in summer, 9 holes after work Tuesday and Thursday and at least once on the weekend, whether it's 9 or 18. When I fall out of routine, it can take a bit to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like I must have been breaking some sort of law I was playing one time at Cooperstown and there was a par 3 facing a busy road, super windy, so I took a wood and crushed it, hit a bus filled with tourists and bounced off the entrance to a gift shop. We had a good laugh at that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The course has a free booklet in pro shop to help with angles and lines. Also, the starter definitely gave us a heads up to not be long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
