Hi,

I could never figure this advice out..

OK let's say you have a few months/weeks under your belt and an understanding of the basic swing. An off the shelf set may or may not fit you. Could easily be way off, toe or heel way up. So now your trying to find your form and wondering why the ball doesn't respond.

Of course one can be fit and have their swing change as is common with beginners and now your back to square one.

What I did was finally find a shop that would fit me (many won't based upon less than a year of playing I found) for some Pings. I played for a while and one idle day was refit. It ended up being the same fit. So either I was close to begin or haven't progressed but my iron play is coming around so I'm comfortable.

Most of the advice is made to save you money. But as I've experienced a Ping fitting is free and Ping will adjust for free.

If you have a set that can be fit and can afford it and have a fitter who will work with you: Do it! can't be a bad thing!
