I've been an off the rack golf club consumer all my life.
3 years ago I did my first club fitting after making a major club buying mistake. I made purchased a set miz irons on line which I absolutely disliked! The huge on line retailer did give me 100% credit but I had to get another set from them.
I dug in my pocket and did a $100 fitting for irons. I ended up with Cal Apex, DCB irons with TT elevate shafts. Best thing I ever did with buying clubs. Well it paid off. Had a tremendous summer last year in the 3 leagues I played in last summer.
One league: 1st in Division, 1st in Team, 2nd league 1st in team with my wife, 3rd league: 2nd in team for 2nd half of year. A 4 gem crown type of year. Since that time I have been playing a lot of golf. Researching a lot of club making company's and changing my swing this past winter.
Long story short, after much research and studying, I set out to become an all Titleist Golf guy. I join TT here, got in on the buy 3 get one free Pro V deal. In March had my First Titleist fitting indoors. In the middle of a swing change the fitting was very poorly performed on my part. But I walked away with a Titleist Metal recommendation. So I bought the TSR1 driver with MMT speed mesh shaft and wow, best driver I ever hit. I liked it so much I bought the 3 metal 18 D same shaft. Then the 5 iron was not working for me, it never did really, so I bought the Hybrid 13 D TSR1. I love that more than the driver!
So I am doing another Titleist fitting next week for some new irons.
My point is this: For me, the quality, engineering, and providing an option for every golfer from Titleist, is unmatched! The best Metal woods I ever hit and it has improved my game, confidence and over all outlook with every round.
Sometimes we search the entire world to find a hobby/sporting equipment partner, then we find it so close to home. I live 19 miles from Titleist Dr. in Acushnet Massachusetts!
