I need some tips on how to finish my club fitting?

Well I'm not the guy fitting, that has to be said, my pro is. Thing is he is really busy and doesn't seem to have the time to help me figure out how to fit my clubs the best.

When we tested it the first time contact on the face was towards the shanking area and the club bottomed on the heel, meaning the club was to flat for me. The cure was 2 degrees more upright. We tried it on one of the clubs but honestly I'm not sure if it made much of a difference.
Although I did hit it every time on the heel(or was it the toe)? It should have been more upright, I remember that much.


So I have a lie issue, as well as a length issue, I felt the clubs where to long for me but now I have adjusted to it and I don't feel I'm struggling. But how could I test this? grip down an inch and write down the results for 10 balls then take the normal grip and this hit 10 balls?
I also felt the clubs where to heavy, but I have adjusted to that as well, I have maybe gotten a little stronger, I'm not sure.

The grip: Really don't like the grip, it's very slippery when its wet and its a little bit to big for me, so a rain grip thats a little smaller might to the trick? I also get moist in my hands so something that can support a little moist would have to be good?

Thats about it. Length, Lie and grip.. Since he is kind of unavailable and I want to finish the club fitting NOW and push him a little bit all tips that can help me figure out this on my own with or without impact tape would be good.

Find the book "In Search of the Perfect Club" by clubmaking guru Tom Wishon. Read it and you will find that you are going about this the wrong way. I live in Alaska and have no real fitting options here, pretty much like you. Next time you travel, go somewhere with a launch monitor and a million shaft/head choices and do it right. For all the money we spend on greens fees, the amount you will spend on a true custom fitting session will be priceless.

Seriously, read that book. You'll never get another club without a true custom fitting. You are not currently gettting a full custom fitting.

Are you paying him, or just getting his time for free? If you're paying him, I wonder why he does not have time for you. But sounds like he is not doing a good job.

We made a deal that I would buy a custom made iron set from him but that we would finish the fitting later when my swing was more ingrained.

So I have paid for him to adjust them, it was included in the price.

I have made an appointment with him now so its all good, but I feel he is not giving this all he gots and think if more like something he just has to get finished.
