Iron fitting (sigh)

First a humble brag. I just came back from the range. Here are pics of the 11 wood, iDrive Tour 70 gram shaft, after 3 balls, and the Cally 54 wedge with DG...

Don, go look up your measurements on a Ping chart and get and old set of Eye2’s.

Are those impact pics a depiction of different shafts? Lead tape testing?

Test iron built light and then adding lead tape to discern various impact. In general if swing is repeatable too light leads to toe impacts, too heavy heel impacts just right in middle good impact. It's how to test if playing length and lie are correct what heft one needs in a set of clubs from driver to wedges.

Too heavy/light meaning overall weight or swing weight ? Good info. 👍

If heel hits, how do you know if club is too long or too heavy? What variable, length, loft, heft or lie is checked first? Or in what order is best? Good topic.

MoI heft match. Could be used as a swing weight heft match. Once correct shaft profile and shaft weight is fit then heft match can be found. This is what your modern so called fitting usually never fits for or finds.

Just be cautious not to out/over think yourself down a rabbit hole so deep that you're brain fries.

braveheart Design that golfer needs is first. Playing length and lie need to be found and then golfer needs somewhat of a repeatable swing. Shaft weight, profile then heft match last. That's the order I use. Lie can be tweaked. I use TLT/MoI heft match so that controverts 1/2" length graduation/swing weight and when correct TLT Series is found upper body/torso doesn't need to be changed for every club as 1/2" makes golfer do for each club.
