How to Get the Most Out of Your Fitting Experience

Guys, the reason you are so popular is because you are so genuine, humble and knowledgeable at the same time. You are doing something you love and it comes across in the videos. Thank you!

Older vid but the recommendations presented are still as valid as ever. I'd like to add a couple of suggestions to any watching this for the first time. 1- Bring the clubs you play with now and hit your warm ups with them. This will give you some added comfort level and offer the fitter a baseline from which to build on. 2- If you have data collected from Arccos or some other app, bring it along or email it ahead of time to the fitter, so they can glance at it ahead of time. 3- Bring a sleeve of the golf ball you game. Particularly important if it's a model they may not stock to hit in the bay. 4- Above all, communicate with your fitter so he clearly understands your goals and the issues in your game that you're looking to improve, along with the budget you're prepared to put towards finding the best combo to gain that performance. Hope this helps and adds to your fitting experience. Play well.

2 Years later and this video still holds up. Getting fitted later this week and video really helps.

[@bwinms1]

How your fitting go? What did you buy?

[@coreymclennan6008]

If you were in Australia, i'd be jumping on a plane myself. You guys are so genuine and humble it just creates a massive amount of trust. You're never acting like salesmen. I went for a driver fitting yesterday, the bloke said he didn't want to see me hit my current driver, changed my set up, changed my swing, then put one driver in my hands and told me thats the one for me. I asked about moving the weights in it to make it more forgiving and he told me i can buy the tool when i buy the driver to be able to move them myself when i get home. So naturally i'm now looking for somewhere else to go get a driver fitting done.

[@joewillis1227]

I’m 68 and watch you all the time. I wish it was feasible for me to come to you for a fitting. Keep it going and Thanks for the integrity.

[@Mitch3515]

This is THE BEST video that I have seen on getting the most out of a club fitting! This is great advice to anyone who is thinking about getting fit and allows them to set their expectations going in! I will be sharing this video with everyone I know before they go into a fitting! It also helps me prepare for my fit with TXG in a couple weeks! Can't wait!

[@clubchampionmedia]

Thanks Mitch!!

[@philovenell5644]

Just had a session with Ian, without doubt the best money I've spent on anything to do with golf. Being over 60 and a newbie to the game, Ian put me completely at ease. Love these videos, great work guys.

[@625bmx]

You guys are amazing! As for the last mention on budget... I did a fitting a few days ago, and I personally have been blessed enough in my career to not have to worry about budget (I say that with as much humility as you all carry in your videos). But I didn't know if I should mention my budget to the fitter as I was unsure if that would cause him to fit me into something that I really didn't need. After getting to know him, I could tell that he was honest and wouldn't do steer me in the wrong direction (especially after he suggested that I don't get a new 3-wood head but, instead, just change the shaft). So finally, I eased into the idea that budget didn't matter to me much, and I got a very good shaft in my new driver that I cannot wait to hit on the course. But certainly, that was a concern of mine and it took awhile to get to where I was comfortable sharing that with him. Just wanted to share my experience. I ultimately did get fitted for the clubs I wanted and I am happy (haven't tried them on course yet but the numbers are significantly better than my old clubs). But it took us awhile to get there because I didn't openly walk in and share my budget... Do you guys think that consumers may be a little TOO frightened of sharing their budget? Or should be be weary of this kinda thing?

[@markl577]

Having booked in for a driver fitting this week, this is gold to me. I had a bad fitting experience with one of the large UK retailers about a year and a half ago. Having just come back to the game after an 8 year layoff I feel I was duped into buying an expensive driver when I was nowhere near ready. The salesman (that's all he was) could probably sense my eagerness to get playing & took advantage of that. Now though 18 months later I'm ready, & this video has gave me some great knowledge to take with me. Fantastic work guys, love the channel. 👍🏻

[@Just_virge]

I’ve watched and learned from hundreds of hours of TXG video. I could not thank you guys enough for what you do. My take on the demographic of who gets to come see you I would think as a 29 year old is simply a money thing. I just think a 50+ has the extra cash to fly from the US and pay for a fit & new clubs more often than a younger person not to say we don’t want to come equally as bad. If there was aTXG closer in the states for sure we would be lining up! Thank you for everything you guys do!

[@Jjwalways70]

I think it’s fair to say also guys , people go to fittings usually with a preconception of what they want , as in they already have a pretty good idea of what they want , for example they have one or 2 favorite drivers in mind , but upon completing the fitting they’ve been put into something else altogether that the fitter found was better suited for the individual by facts , the client can’t refute the facts but isn’t happy really because they wanted the latest Taylormade driver . We often want something that doesn’t suite our skill level , blades would be an easier example ,everyone loves blades but not all are consistent enough to game them . Your comment about 50+ guys coming to get fit from far away is correct , everyone would love to come , but 35-50 is where men hit their most financial peak in earnings and stability and can afford the trip , under that they are busy climbing the ladder and using funds to set up their life .always great videos guy very informative . I think it’s pretty obvious the popularity of your content and they great way you can explain the technical to the general players that every single golfer would love to get fit with you guys ,would be a dream , I guess it should be the same everywhere but the reality is it’s not , you guys are what we are judging every other fitter against .

[@RK-ig5hy]

Your content is the best! I just sent this video to a friend and now I'm watching it again as I'm about to get re-fitted myself.

[@1mtis]

What Ian and Matt are talking about here is 100% true, I came in for a fitting and was 100% nervous and was worried not so much about being judged but most so about my ability to make good shot. I had a terrible time hitting my driver that day, so we just moved on to the irons and Mike and I nailed that part of the fit. Biggest thing I can suggest before going to your fitting is demo a bunch of different clubs and come with some what of an idea of what you like. It will make the fitters job so much easier and you the much more confident in hitting clubs you’ve already have a feel for

[@HPXMirage]

This particular video has a wealth of good information in it, so thank you for making the time to produce it. Fitters around the world should be sending you two thank you notes for sending them more informed customers who will spend their time (and their fitters’ time) more productively. I was fit five or six years ago by a top Ping fitter into a set of i20 irons. No launch monitor data, just ball flight. I have no complaints, but I am looking forward to a fitting for a new set of irons this summer, and will be much better prepared for it.

[@jerrysilverstein4055]

I'm glad you talking about fittings, if you have driving range that let you demos, try as many different clubs you can then you can tell the fitter which ones you like and reasons and that the fitter to come up with the best clubs for you.

[@julianmartinez1593]

For what it's worth, I would love to head up to Canada to get a proper fitting to know that my clubs are adjusted to my swing. You do a great job not only keeping an open mind about all equipment and combinations but also keeping in mind what is best for the player's game - not just trying to push a specific product.

Ian, Matt, absolutely love your channel and all the great info you provided. Thanks so much. I am over 65. When I did my driver fitting I took two Aleve prior.

I can see you guys having your own air time on the golf channel and getting the right information, in a holistic way, out to all us.That’s what will help grow the game !

[@paulmerrill2349]

Matt & Ian, not sure if you follow comments from your older videos, but I just watched the "Get The Most Of Your Fitting" Video. Although I'd love to come out and visit your shop, I'll be heading in the other direction. I'll be visiting Glendale, Arizona for 10 days, this Thanksgiving. I'm planning on stopping into one, of two different locations, to go through a complete club fitting. I'd really like to purchase a new set of clubs, to help me improve my game. I've had so many rounds, that are just shy of being fantastic. Getting clubs set up for me, may just be the thing I need. I too, am one of the higher handicappers, and your videos, along with the information you provide, are extremely helpful. Thanks again!

[@Jjwalways70]

You guys are the greatest, always informative and crystal clear in delivery , there are many fitting studios around but sadly they have less than half your knowledge kudos to you Ian , it is truly amazing just how much difference it makes having clubs fitted , tuned . Distanced control ,dispersion and constantly hitting the club face centrally , I often watch people buying clubs off the shelf and think to myself in that state they would be flat out hitting an airport runway let alone a fairway or green , and then seeing them out on the course rummaging through the trees trying to find golf balls ,, but excited about how far they hit it , especially those new to golf who really have no idea what they need , this is where a few lessons and properly fit clubs would make such a huge difference, and we would see fewer people dropping off from this amazing game . Keep up the great work guys 👍

[@brianmccool9728]

I'm definitely in the 50+ age group of watchers. There are golfers all over the place - and limited numbers of fitting studios and pro lessons. And, some of us may have had equivocal experiences with lessons in the past. KZbin is a buffet of coaching/fitting styles and personalities. A fantastic resource. A future discussion of 'what to look for' might be a helpful guide for those of us that are a bit more jaded...?

[@seanmcconville9159]

At 64 I have been on KZbin for 10 years. Don't count us Baby Boomers out. LOL. Great point about practicing before getting fit. I was itching to get new clubs at the beginning of the season and a friend mentioned that was a bad time to get fitted. I instead this Spring took a few lessons and then got in a lot of practice and my league started and then decided. Best thing I did was wait. I am now getting used to my new irons and playing much better golf. Thanks guys for agreat channel.

[@ianfraser3194]

Jay McGillicuddy great to hear Jay!!

[@timothydaniels504]

When I did my fitting sessions with TXG I felt zero sales pressure. In fact, I recall asking Chris, who did my fitting in Burlington, “ do you guys actually build everything?”. It was kind of a duh question since their well equipped workshop was right there, but it really was a comfortable situation. Matt’s comment about the importance of talking to your fitter throughout the process is so important. When we were fitting iron shafts we tried a lot of graphite shafts (I’m old and creaky) and we’re getting nowhere; I mentioned to Chris that I couldn’t feel any of the shafts delivering a kick through impact. He heard what I said and came back with a Nippon Zelos 7 steel shaft, a very light steel shaft. It was absolutely perfect. I’ve been thinking that I’ve been playing the wrong shafts for a long time but didn’t know where to go to find the solution. I hate to sound like an infomercial but TXG is filling a huge void in the golf business.

[@banditbaker1675]

That was a very useful Vid Guys for anyone contemplating having a Club fitting. Having had a fitting with Ian earlier this month I would like to add a few insights. Firstly if you are having a full Bag fitting do it over several sessions if possible. The fitting process is tiring both physically and emotionally, the first session you will be nervous and a little anxious, but by the follow-on sessions you will be more relaxed and confident. These sessions will therefore be more productive. Secondly don`t regard the fitting as the end of the process, in fact for me it was the start of my process to improve as a Golfer. My fitting highlighted a swing flaw that I had been trying to work around rather than confront head on. Following my return home to the UK, I decided to work through a few swing suggestions that Ian made during my fitting. So I have now engaged a new Coach and have constructed a plan to correct a poor Grip (too weak) and improve my swing plane which was too out to in. I`m not expecting a quick fix, (in fact I don`t want a quick fix) instead I want to work on the changes over several months so that the improvements become permanent rather than temporary. And next Season, "The Bandit is gonna Kick some Arse"!!!!!!

[@whogg0521]

Wanted to watch this again. Such a great vid and all good points. The fitting that I don't think worked for me was when I was in the middle of a pretty big swing change. My swing was all over the place. However, now that I think about it, as my swing improved so did the fit of the driver to me. That was my G30 fitting. I am in the middle of another one now, and now that the rain is done for a bit, I will get back after it. Maybe a trip to TO has to be in my plans this summer. Man, I miss that City.

[@skylarsteel91]

Something I’d love to hear your opinion about is how to handle a fitting if you as a player have a specific type of club in mind. Or in other words, pre conceived ideas of what you feel you’ll be fit into. I know many people may go into a fitting thinking: “I want blades or a thin cavity instead of game improvement.” Recommendations on having or not having pre conceived ideas of what clubs you should be fit into? (Not necessarily brands but head styles like blades)

[@nvr2old700]

You'll l likely get many people traveling to TXG to get fit IMO. You guys are the best and obviously care about your clients in many ways. Having recently gone through a fit at a well known international fitting chain, I left feeling like, #1 I couldn't ever afford my fit (approx $5000 for a full set which is unrealistic for an average golfer) and although there was no pressure to buy left me feeling a bit hopeless, and #2 that I really don't have any other fitting options out there locally. Honestly feel like a win win for customers might be a tiered package approach to purchase of a par package (reasonable set that includes most features of the fit, shafts, lofts/lie, heads etc), birdie package (same but slightly more premium parts) and eagle package that is top of the line components. Anyway. Thx guys. Have to gt my passport renewed and save some $$ to come see you for a fit. Ken

[@daniellandry4908]

another note to add bring your current clubs you are getting fit for! if you are going to get a driver fitting bring your current driver so you can compare numbers. same with an iron fitting bring your current 6/7 iron with you. ask for a few minutes in the bay to hit balls with your current clubs and warm up and get comfortable it makes a big difference

[@podge1978]

Just recently found your KZbin channel and really loving the content so far. This is one of the best videos and really highlights how honest you guys are. All of the anxieties that I would certainly feel going in to a fitting you’ve explained and I would definitely feel more confident having a full custom fit experience here in the UK. Is there any where you would recommend In the South of England that has the same fundamentals as TXG? If I had the money and time I would be flying to Canada to meet you guys! 😆

[@raulfernandezjr5295]

Fist, Thank you for making this video! This Channel is amazing! I have a long fitting scheduled for this Saturday with my Local Club Champion and wanted to ask a few questions. 1) When you are fitting your clients or PGA professionals, what is the typical gap a player should between the Driver and 3 wood (carry distance ), and how do you know which direction to take the next club down ? I was think Driving iron (2) or 5 wood. 2) Do you believe "purring" ( club champion recommended ) the shaft is worth the extra $? 3) How many swings should the player have to feel comfortable they have enough data to rely on ? " i don't want to feel that i didn't have enough swings because the 'fitter' thinks we have enough. Greatly appreciate your feedback thank you guys!

[@clubchampionmedia]

1) Gap will depend on swing speed, but usually somewhere between 20-40 yards 2) Shaft puring can be worthwhile for some shafts, but others are built to a manufacturing tolerance that makes puring unnecessary - ask your fitter what they recommend 3) 40-60 swings is ideal

[@clubchampionmedia]

40-60 for a single club fitting (or irons or wedges fitting), you'll hit more if you're doing the full bag

Great video and advice glad I watched this one guys. I think it’s important to keep an open mind and forget your ego and even brand preference and see what happens! As amateurs we can choose the best in each category after all we’re not contracted to play a particular brand.

I would love nothing more than to fly to ON to be fitted by you guys. I live in Nebraska. However, I doubt that's feasible, maybe, but doubtful. If I do go elsewhere (local) to get fitted the info you've provided is very useful. Thanks Matt and Ian!

[@chuckwatson366]

Wow! Great video. Thank you.

[@BALON3Y]

Awesome information guys!

[@petercrocitto7383]

I have to say guys my three fittings have been very disappointing - I did lots of research trying to find the best club fitter in my area but after watching your fitting process I realize I got taken! 3 driver / iron fittings and 1 putter fitting! I believed that the boxed stores aren’t club fitters but club sellers and are only interested in selling you a clubs from there inventory! Even the club fitters fell into the same category - I was expecting an independent prospect but the opposite occurred! So I’ve become very skeptical of the whole process!

[@ianfraser3194]

Peter Crocitto don’t let a few bad apples discourage you Peter there are good and bad people in any industry. We are working on creating a list of club fitters that we trust will do a good job across North America and Europe. This should help eliminate these types of experiences.

[@petercrocitto7383]

Ian Fraser I’ll be interested in seeing this list when it comes available- I be interested in coming up to your center as well. I can also visit with Shawn Clement who is my coach.

I can tell you from first hand experience, until retiring away from the UK 20 months ago, the "Box Stores" have one thing ONLY in mind....which set of clubs do we get the most profit from!!! Example..I didnt tell a particular "American named box store in UK" my handicap, which was 9 at the time (and improving), and I was playing with bladed clubs that needed updating, and after them doing their analysis they recommended a Jack Nicholas starter set.!!!!!! Need I say more??? If you do not have an independent fitter near by, you can always use your Club Pro and ask his recommendation, and take it from there. TXG is a TRUE, unbiased, customer focused, professional company, well done lads.

Top video. Tenterhooks for Monday.

Jim Devine thanks Jim!!

[@bogeygolfer773]

I should have watched this video before getting a driver fitting. I was a bit disappointed that not much emphasis was given to swing weight. You guys seem to talk a good amount of that with head weight and shaft balance. Thanks for the videos. I will be better prepared for my hybrid fitting. My wife did want to take a trip to Canada...

[@benjaminschaefer3441]

You two should do a course vlog in the future.

[@IMon503]

Hi Iain and Matt, hope you are both well. I am going to be fit for irons on Saturday at SGGT Edinburgh, Scotland after watching your channel. I currently have a set of Ping 1500's with px 6.0, however the shaft/head combo is not working. I have changed coach and I'm looking forward to my fitting and trying to get my handicap down.

[@stlc3415]

Great info for the person looking to get fit. Amazing insight to what to expect and the knowledge of can I really afford a custom set. I'm having my son fitted for a set for high school golf and really apprehensive of the final cost of the set.

[@USNsteve4790]

Great stuff as always gentleman. I'm currently on a long term business trip until November. So I won't be able to make it to TXG for a fitting in 2018. However, this is letting me save enough money to afford coming up for a fitting sometime in 2019. And I'll be one more for the under 50 crowd.

[@andrewmccullough9334]

If I had the chance I would gladly travel the Atlantic to visit you guys. I haven't got half the experience from high street retailers/fitters in the UK as I get even from watching your stuff online. Great job fellas 👍

[@clubchampionmedia]

Good news for you Andrew, we're coming to the UK for a visit in September!

[@andrewmccullough9334]

TXG Tour Experience Golf looking forward to more info on that!

[@Overrevving]

Hey guys! I'm from Buffalo, NY and am looking to get a fitting. Looking around here, there aren't a ton of fitters. Could either of you shoot me a message, I would like to learn more about your fitting process, cost, and location to see if it would be worthwhile for me to make the drive to Toronto! You guys seem very knowledgable and show that you truly care about helping the golfer finding their fit instead of just making a quick buck. Let me know!!
