2011 Titleist Custom Fitting Day @ The Mines - Part 2

This is the part 2 to the previous fitting session. Thanks to Titleist (the organizer), Shaun (the fitter) & Brian (the informer) for this fitting


Found out that i am hitting my hybrid a lil too far than my irons, so the way to go forward is to probably to get a strong 3 & 4 hybrid and ditch the 3 & 4 irons. This should allow me the space to rearrange my wedge game plan to have a 50, 54 & 58 wedges :)


Due to some miscommunication, I only had an 1 hour fitting, which nevertheless is still very useful session. Shaun had asked me to go back for 1 final fitting for the remaining bits ;)


* didnt take any photo this time :(

2011 Titleist Custom Fitting Day @ Saujana - Part 1

Thanks to Titleist (the organizer), Shaun (the fitter) & Brian (the informer) for inviting me to this Titleist Custom Fitting day @ Saujana @ 4:30pm (I arrived just in time for the session as i left office late even tho i was on 1/2 day leave)

During the fitting process, i was introduced to Mr Trackman (as below). Its main responsibility is to gather as much data on my shot patterns, distances, spin rates, swing speed, smash factor, ball speed and etc

In this session, i was supposed to fit for
1. Driver
2. Fairway woods
3. Hybrids
4. Irons
5. Wedges
The Sure Fit system is surely impressive with arrays of club heads & shafts for my testing...

However, my fitting experience ended abruptly as rain came pouring. At this point of time, i had only managed to complete the driver., fairway wood & irons fitting...
Shaun suggested that we continue on Thursday which unfortunately i need to work (yes yes, otherwise no income for golf :p). So the part 2 fitting will probably continue next month when Shaun visits Malaysia once again :D

The results of my part 1 fitting ?
Well, the configuration recommended by Shaun are as below

1. Driver - 10.5 degrees 910 D2 @ A1 setting, UST Mamiya ProForce V2 76g S, 44 1/2 inches
• its amazing that the 76g shaft suits me the better as i never thought that i am capable of handling such a heavy staff, especially on a driver. The shaft felt stable throughout the swing and able to swing hard and yet still in control of the wild wild swing ;). Also, Mr Trackman says that with this recommended shaft, i am getting additional of 10m carries and a high ball flight consistently with tight dispersion. The swing speed is faster compared to my existing Cleveland drivers
• Swing speed : 103-105mph, Smash factor : 1.49-1.50, Ball speed : 148-150mph, Spin : High, Launch : 11.5-11.8 degrees,
2. Fairway wood - 15 degrees 910 F @ D4 setting, Fujikura Motore F3 70g S, 42 1/2 inches
• 70g is still heavier than my current setup on my Cobra FSpeed. With the recommended setup, i am getting an additional of 7m of carries and with better consistency...
• Swing speed : Xmph, Smash factor : 1.49-1.50, Ball speed : Xmph, Spin : High
3. Irons - 710 CB, NS Pro 95g S, Titleist standard length, 2 degrees upright
• the recommendation of 95g is certainly a surprise as i been using dynamic gold sensicore (which is approx 135g) on my Mizuno MP29. But the Mr. Trackman results show that i am getting a penetrating yet high enough ball flight with additional 9m of carries :)
• Swing speed : 90mph, Smash factor : 1.49-1.50, Ball speed : 128-132mph, Spin : High
4. Balls - Titleist ProV1x as Shaun mentioned that my spin rate is pretty much on the high side (amazing, right)

Oh boy, cant wait for part 2
