scotts33 It's not an easy find

Self-fitter with no regrets here…well…maybe a couple 😳😂

Hence why I have always been such a staunch supporter of the Swap Shop…I should have kept track of my “self-fit” transactions back in the FGI days!!…that spreadsheet would be crazy to look at…and it wouldn’t even come close in comparison to some Buzzers I know around here 😂😂😂

Buy/sell/trade for the monthly/quarterly/season Holy Grail…rinse & repeat…in all honesty it has always been part of the fun factor for me 😂😂

"HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS" fitting......🤣

sdandrea1 Pretty sure we all know this, Scott. I think these recommendations are based on "here's some examples of clubs that are targeted at seniors. Might work for you, might not". I think the OP is just looking for ideas. We all could have said, "go find a good club fitter" but that's not what he asked for.

I am a "self fitter" and I know by trial and error what works for me and what doesn't. I don't try to fit others. It is possible a "proper fitter" might improve my club selection but I have never tried that. I also like to buy shit on the flea market and tinker. And I know because of my swing inconsistencies what works today might not tomorrow. Then you throw in aging and poon factor and it gets more complicated. I have pulled a shaft in a driver I hit well but wanted to try another shaft for a few yards more. That didn't work so I installed the old shaft back it at the same spine orientation and I didn't hit it as well as before. It can be a cruel game. 😜

Rickochet Then you throw in aging and poon factor

Clubs get more poon by aging them in a well ventilated cellar at constant temperature.

BTW...to add start using video and you can see/understand tempo, transition time and release (early-mid-late). Video and see what's going on is the key (down the line and side) plus a good interpreter. It's more a technique issue than an equipment issue to match up equipment to technique. Leave the marketing at the door. 😃

Is he a vet? Pretty sure PXG gives real big discounts for vets.
