I have a bad left shoulder and want to shift to graphite shafts for my irons. My question is about the fitting process; are there different numbers or tendencies I need to look for? I have never been to this fitter before and want to make sure I get all the needed variables covered.
Thanks for any help.
A good club fitter will talk to you about what you are experiencing, what you are wanting, and through the evaluation process make a recommendation that should enhance your game. Of course, you have to hit the shots and supply the information and feedback. Generally, when I have fit players that have something physical going on that they need help with overcoming in their golf swing, graphite is first on the list to try. It’s shock absorbing characteristics can be a benefit. The weight and flex of the shaft can also be fit to put less strain on the body. Again, generally, lighter more flexible shafts are easier to swing. That being said, you have to like the overall feel and the ball flight produced should be optimized as much as possible. Just a few things to consider.
