Club Fitting For Length

Surge Nation

Before my old computer had a cook out and fried the motherboard, I had my system set up pretty well. I got a really great kit and built my own computer this time. It does it all, or pretty close to it. It has 8gb ram, 1tb hard drive, 6 processors, and I think it will cook a roast. Sorry, had to throw that in there.

Here is my question for you tech folks. In my old system you guys had walked me through how to set up a feed (rss maybe) where I could see almost real time comments on any of the daily blogs in the same place. No matter what daily they were posted to, you could see them all come up on one page. I could reply to them right from the feed without having to keep checking each daily to see if a new comment had posted there.

Can someone help me get that set up again, or is there something better out there now that I should be using?

It is almost 2 am here in the heart land. I just finished watching all the segments of the new Ultimate Alignment Video. Now I have a choice to make. I am thinking about watching the whole thing again. I was going to start the video and listen to it on my Bluetooth headset, and just go to bed with it playing. I found that won't work. I left the man cave and went through the house. I got half way down the bedroom hall and started losing signal. Darn, I don't want to drag the computer into the kitchen so I will have the range. I could sleep on the couch, it will reach there fine. The down side to that is I will wake up with a stiff neck and be in trouble with momma. Sorry Surge, but even as great as this video is, it ain't worth either of those things. I will just have to get up early in the morning and start it all over again. It is too cold here right now to end up in the dog house. Heck, even the dog is sleeping in the man cave tonight instead of the dog house.

Great video Surge. I am going to bed to dream of proper alignment and TAT.

It is two days after Christmas, and I just got one of the best gifts ever.

Some days it is good to be me,

hi. am thinking of buying the alignment video. i;m sure it will be great. anyone bought it yet? how long does it run for?

cheers richard in the uk.

Brady, While true that one word can bring up info not precise to our need at the moment I of course still love the search. It forces me too search through the proverbial hay stack to find the needle needed to sew a thought together. Most of the hay is good stuff too so when searching I often find lots of other great reminders. I have said before that while I can't remember yesterdays breakfast I will remember a thread of Dons thinking from 3-4 years ago that will apply to a current discussion. Sometimes I'll search the archives (library) for hours to find one jewel. Hmmnnn....... I am not sure if that was flattering to Surge or a reflection of an aging man with too much time on his hands??!
In any case by the time I have done the research I have re-inforced the lesson in a way that just getting a quick answer from my fellow bloggers can't supply. And that is why You'll often hear me remind newbys of the importance of using this invaluable tool.

Let's just call it a Senior moment episode. I just kept looking at the list of videos in the My Products List waiting for it to magically show up. Kind of like looking all over for your keys when they were in your other pocket all the time. Thanks for turning the lights on for me.

Mr. Stanick if a driver is cut down and using a lighter grip does this not in fact just trick the swingweight scale and not actually add weight to the head. I have always had problems understanding that. Just a lighter or heavier grip to me seems the same as having a larger or smaller hand or maybe wearing a watch. If I recall the swingweight scale is set at around 14" and it seems to me it would be better set at around 6". Switching the grip from a regular to a jumbo appeared to lower the swing weight of the club by three units, according to the swing-weight scale. But that reading is false due to the fact that the change in mass occurred within the 14-inch pivot point. The scale saw the entire weight of the grip to lie on the butt end of the pivot point.

Hi Don, just watched your video on club fitting and wanted your take on the fitting of Mizuno clubs. I have been using Mizuno JPX 800 pro clubs for approx 2 1/2 years and they were probably too advanced for me when I first starting using them and my handicap was around 25 to 30. Over the last 3 months have spent some time re dialing in the PPGS swing as i was swinging too hard and going well into the sacred burial ground. I have over this time progressed from a handicap of 20 to 10, I'm now seriously looking at getting the a complete set of Mizuno JPX 825's with a driver having the same length as the 3 wood. I believe they do a very good job of club fitting based on talking to the club pro when I was in Perth and as I have been back in Albany Western Australia, Australia, I would be going to the local pro. He is also very good at what he doe's. My question is, do you believe that Mizuno are the sort of company that would shaft me, as I have been told with their new shaft optimiser technology and the number of shaft types, head types and grip types a average fitting time is around 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours and it takes 2 weeks to build your clubs and then you go back to the club pro to recieve and try out before you take them away and pay for them. Thanks for your time in looking at and answering my question, I certainly appreciate all your lessons and have no doubt it is the major reason why my golf has improve along with realising you do not have to hit the bejesus out of the club.
