On Saturday I were given my woods becoming at True Spec Golf (www.Truespecgolf.Com) at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club True Spec golfing is any other high give up custom fitting employer with all the modern-day generation in helping custom suit clubs along side an abundance of heads and shafts to select from. I turned into interested by checking them out because they're an outside fitting studio (and at Lake Nona) and I become searching into probably getting equipped for irons there inside the destiny in addition to their unique putter fitting studio. As I?Ve stated, being at Lake Nona has its perks. Lake Nona is my preferred course in all of Central Florida and you?Re now not at your neighborhood muni whilst there's a helicopter pad right subsequent to the clubhouse.
The foremost goal for me become to discover a decrease spinning driver and three-wood head. I will clearly take their hints for shafts, however I am set to be outfitted at Fujikura HQ on their ENSO device in April.
My present day gamer changed into a Callaway Epic (non-Sub Zero), nine* loft with a Fujikura Atmos 7x Blue shaft. When I?M swinging poorly, my attack attitude receives too far upward ( 6 tiers) and the the launch perspective starts offevolved getting over 16 degrees whilst I start hitting shots skinny and generate a spin price of 3,two hundred .
When I?M swinging properly, I can decrease those launch metrics?Get the release attitude closer to thirteen tiers with 2,800-ish spin fee. So the intention was to discover a head and shaft mixture that I may want to get closer to 2,000 to two,500 rpm?S even as maintaining a launch of no more than 14 tiers.

The True Spec studio is positioned at the back of the range of Lake Nona. The staff at Lake Nona are keen to assist as I needed to be proven where the studio was. The range become pristine as constantly. The grass turned into very tight, but plush. And they no longer most effective mow the grass on the range, but they've an air-blower that makes sure the grass clippings are blown to the facet.
We started off with the driving force. I were given some warm up in because the fitter went to get a group of heads and shafts. One issue I warn to golfers going to a excessive cease fitting place is to conserve their electricity. You?Re going to make a LOT of swings in a small period of time and it?S clean to tire your self out. I became hitting the ball well inside the warmup and after 7 swings I stopped to preserve myself.
Of route, as I informed the fitter that I have a trouble with producing an excessive amount of spin and launch AND once I struck the driving force well in my warmup?My swing goes to hell on Trackman and the Trackman numbers appear like this:
But again, I become swinging the membership poorly. A awful habit I actually have is that my proper femur/proper hip goes into inner rotation too quickly inside the downswing and presently after I try this it is Smother-Hook City. I didn?T do that ONCE inside the heat-up. Fortunately, I regained my swing and started to hit greater usual photographs with radar metrics that gave the impression of this:
In the give up, I don?T assume my modern-day game changed into a awful healthy for me. The Epic head (now not the Sub-Zero) is extra of a higher spinning head so the pinnacle could have used an adjustment.
The choice of heads we went to were the:
Callaway Rogue
Ping G400 LST (Low Spin Technology)
TaylorMade M3
We attempted a whole lot of special shafts. The Ping G400 LST I just didn?T hit it properly. It launches too excessive and I would lose shots to the proper with it. I become skeptical about the M3 in the beginning because I know it?S a higher spinning head than the M1. I hit it properly, simply it launches high. I should maintain the spin fee below 2,500 rpm and I actually like how forgiving the membership turned into. I think TaylorMade is simply onto some thing with the Twist Face generation.
But, in the end, the Callaway Rogue with an Aldila Rogue Elite Blue sixty five (X-Stiff) shaft become the pleasant match. Here were the numbers I had with this in shape:
In the give up, the assessment of when I began to swing nicely with my gamer as opposed to the fitted Rogue gave the impression of this:
***
The 3-timber we saw problems with proper away. I was using a Cobra King F7 with a Fujikura Atmos 7x Blue shaft. I had suspicions that I ought to hit my 2-hybrid (Titleist H1) as far as my 3-wood at times and this is most effective forty one? Long in comparison to my forty three-1/4? 3-timber. And my suspicions regarded to be correct as here have been my numbers with my gamer:
We tried the subsequent heads:
TaylorMade M4
Cobra F8 three
Callaway Rogue three
Ping G400 3
We attempted lots of shafts, but the two shafts that labored high-quality for me have been an Accra shaft and a Veylix shaft. The Veylix shaft ended up triumphing out. We found similar effects in the Ping G400 and the TM M4 that we did with the drivers. The Ping missed high and right. The TaylorMade executed pretty nicely, however released too high. It then came all the way down to the Cobra and the Callaway Rogue and that they have very comparable launch numbers, however for anything cause the Cobra carried approximately 5 yards shorter on common.
Here have been my numbers with the Callaway Rogue:
And right here?S a contrast between my gamer and the equipped Rogue:
The very last fit was for the subsequent:
Driver: Callaway Sub Zero Rogue, 9* loft w/45” Aldila Rogue Elite Blue 65 (X-Stiff)
3-Wood: Callaway Sub Zero Rogue 3+, 13.5* loft w/43.75” Veylix Rome 788LR Wildeye shaft
I suppose in the end I changed into no longer too a long way off with my motive force, just the pinnacle match become greater complicated because the Epic is a higher spinning head. However, the three-wooden in shape became dramatic as I added 18.7 yards of bring and 22 general yards. What became crazy changed into that I was not used to seeing a 3-timber fly adore it did.
If there?S a disadvantage to these high-stop becoming studios is they use ?Ala carte? Pricing and everything is at Retail.
I become quoted for a motive force at $810. The head became pretty priced ($499.99). But the shaft become priced at $299.99 once I should locate it at GolfWorks for $175 (GolfWorks Aldila Rogue Shaft)
It additionally charged $10 for the grip (Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G midsize) which move for $6.Ninety nine retail.
The 3-wood head was pretty priced ($299.Ninety nine), however the Veylix shaft changed into priced at $350 compared to $250 the shaft may be had at thepeoplesclubs.Com (People's Clubs Veylix Rome Shaft)
The price of places like True Spec Golf is their selection of device and the technology to assist find the satisfactory feasible suit. Having been to severa places like this, the sticker surprise can turn human beings off to he product, but in case you?Re seeking to locate the first-rate viable suit and discover the components on the internet or on eBay, it could be very useful.
