RE: ShopTalk: best dynamic fitting

[Royce Engler]

I have a set of three Golfsmith fitting irons made up with a nominal R flex shaft, and set at lie angles of 57*, 60*, and 63*.  I used them to see if the customer has a consistent enough swing to move the impact points as the lie angle changes.  I've had customers who hit on the toe on all three clubs with no movement of the impact marks.  Just one more tool in the kit....   Royce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Lloyd Hackman Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 6:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: best dynamic fitting You should not do lie testing until you can use the shaft the player is going to play with.   llhack ----- Original Message ----- From: Al Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 7:39 PM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: best dynamic fitting Alan, With the usual caveat of all other things being equal, the Balistik is drooping and you need about 2 degrees toe up on it.  The usual accepted method is to find the center of the club by finding the half way point of the score lines.  Mark that point and swing away.  Not the center of the scuff marks, measure from the marked center point and adjust.  Yes, stronger swing speeds will cause more droop.

In this I have a Balistik shaft at the regular flex using the old software. I also a snake eyes viper that was hand picked to 60 and is 38 inches. I have an apache pm30 at R3. What I find is that with the Golfsmith fitting iron I hit a1/2 inch toward the toe. The viper, I hit in the middle or what I would see as the centre bottom. Should there be a difference or is the Balistik drooping too much. I'm wondering, for stronger swing speeds, if this causes more droop in the shaft leading to incorrect lie measurements. Alan
