Fitting Experiences

Ethan M — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:58:26 GMT

This past week I went to get fit for clubs at the Manchester Lane Facility. This was my first time getting fitted for clubs and I wanted to create this thread to talk about my experience and allow others to share their experiences of getting fitted for clubs.

The facility was absolutely gorgeous even in the winter, and the hospitality from all of the Titleist staff was above and beyond. They made the experience feel so personal and it helped me ease the nerves. As a gear head I loved every step of the fitting process from trying different shafts and clubs heads to seeing the numbers and improvements. A special shout-out to my fitter Chris O'Rourke for such an amazing experience and comprehensive fitting. He walked me through everything he was looking at and made me feel confident with my new clubs. I ended up getting put into the GT2 driver and hybrid, GT280 Mini Driver, T250 4 Iron, T150 5-PW, and the new SM11 wedges. The new clubs are expected to come in two weeks and I am looking forward to taking them on the courses for the 2026 season.

I got a Titleist fitting last year, fitted to the GT2 Driver with Project X Denali Red 50 GT. My driving has never been better the entire year. A great fit inspires confidence = fairways hit. And fairways hit = increased confidence.. The head and the shaft really help keep a tighter dispersion. Extremely happy with the club and results.

Hi All,

For French players, I have just went to the renovated Titleist fitting centre at Chantilly golf course. Great experiences with pro V1 balls, trackman, possibility to try several combinations of iron heads and shaft.
I managed to gain 10-15% of carry thanks to great advice and right mix of iron, shaft, loft and weight adjustments for the heads, ...
During the fitting, he made me try a hybride 4 to replace the 5 iron, which made sense in terms of distance gain after the 6 iron.

If you are willing to change your golf set in France, going to Chantilly Titleist fitting centre is clearly a must!

RE: Grip size

Jordy — Sun, 03 May 2026 13:13:52 GMT

I do a lot of fittings and its always a good conversation for me to have with the golfer.

First ill ask what glove size they wear, and if they like it/feel comfortable with the grip size they play.

Just had a fitting yesterday where the golfer was striking it great but between all the shots he averaged somewhere around 5-7 degrees closed face. Path relatively neutral but could swing one at 2 degrees left or 4 degrees right. That is where I will not touch lie angle as the shot is not consistent enough for me to manipulate face at impact. He was in standard grips but I gave him midsize plus 4 and we talked about grip pressure and bam as simple as that he started hitting straight balls with square face.

Sometimes its more simple than we think but this game can make you crazy. He wore a L glove so I knew the convo was worth having.

Grip size

Did the fitter determine what grip size you should use? I have been through a couple fittings (not Titleist [emoticon:2e0881b394ea47039c4b7e5eed46a79e]) and they always just asked what size I liked. Currently using mid size plus 4. Would like to verify that is the size I should use.

High swing speed-low consistency

Nick H. — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:19:54 GMT

I currently game players distance irons because I’m a mid-handicap (6.2 index) at my club and was looking for forgiveness. I’m a high swing speed player, averaging 110 with driver. Here’s the issue, last week a played a round with my buddy’s clubs which are blades with project x 6.5 shafts. I couldn’t miss. My irons, and fairwoods are massively inconsistent and I have gapping issues at the bottom of my bag because of the players distance irons.

Currently I game: TSI3 driver with tensei raw white 65 x 16.5 gt3 fairway with tensei 1K black 75s 19 gt2 hybrid with tensei 1k black 85s T200 4-p amt white S Vokey 46,52,58 DG wedge flex.

PW is stock 152 46 is stock 134 52 is stock 122 58 is stock 104 Yes, it’s fun to hit it long, but it’s more fun to play better and i feel as if the T200’s are too long, but I also know I need the help.

I seem to keep finding “hot spots” in the irons and I can’t control them like I would like.

Any similar handicaps with similar speeds deal with this and what was the fix?

The stock answer from most on here is go for a fitting. Of course that is good advice but you are also looking for opinions too. So here is mine. I played to a 2 handicap and then life took me in a different direction. After 8 yrs off I returned to the game. I was fitted for a blended set of T series PW-7 T100, 6 T150, and 3-5 T250. I realize I jumped the gun and should have given myself more time to get the old swing back. What I found was the T100's feel great but I had to figure out my new distances because they are longer than my previous miz blades. The T250's are very inconsistent with distances, for example I would normally hit a 4 iron 215 but found myself hitting the T250 215-230 with the same swing. I would get hot shots that flew way too far. My son plays the 620 MB's I tried them multiple times at the range and picked up a used set and said good bye to the T series. I also share your swing speed and find with the 620's with x100 DG shafts, they can handle my swing speed and I never have to worry about distance control. Also, with traditional lofts I know exactly how far these clubs will go for me. If you are a 6.2 you obviously can strike the ball fairly well. My advice when you go for a fitting look at the T100's and even hit a 620 MB or CB and see what the numbers look like. You have options of blending the MB/CBs or even the CB's and T100's. Speed is a valuable thing to have and with "distance" clubs sometimes it can compound a bad swing and make the result even worse. IMO. Best of luck!!

I looked at your profile and it appears that your equipment is a few years old and you play a considerable amount of golf. Your wedges (sm5 and 7) will loose the sharpness between 70-100 rounds. The grooves are probably worn and need replacing. If you practice a lot some of your regular irons could experience the same issue, being they are a 2021 model. Might consider seeing a fitter. Just food for thought. I do not change every cycle, but when I see wear spots on my irons, I know it's time for a change. With respect.

RE: High swing speed-low consistency

Dale V — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 19:58:12 GMT

The fix is to spend some time with a very good fitter that can not only help you match up the set you need, but can help you prioritize your needs, which sounds like accuracy and consistency over distance. Everyone is different so no matter what works for me or another TT member, you need to dial in what works for you. Best wishes and hope you get it dialed in.

I currently use the Bryson Jumbo Grips. I got tired of getting smaller grips and just having tons of tape rap.

RE: DG 120 vs Modus 120

LKonstas — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 11:47:07 GMT

How did you go? I play the LZ and also find it too soft in the midsection which causes me to overdraw the ball. Wondering on what you settled on. Cheers

DG 120 vs Modus 120

Tim S — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 14:58:18 GMT

Does anyone have experience with both of these shafts?

I am about to purchase the T150's and currently play the S400 TI in my 712 CB......im looking for something lighter, but nothing "whippy" as I do not want to lose any control. Im looking for a nice feeling, low to mid launch shaft that maintains a nice ball flight with minimal dispersion.

Any help would be appreciated

Puring shafts

Patrick B — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 04:02:52 GMT

For about 20 years I would visit my close friend and “PGA teaching pro” every two years for a high level evaluation of my swing specs. The end result, for the most part, resulted in the same out come, 2° upright with a 1/2” half inch added to the Project X5.5 shaft. Life got in the way and I got older and hadn’t had it done for five years. I started to doubt that my swing was the same. This last time, I let 4 years go by and I wanted to once again eliminate doubts about my swing and equipment. This time I wanted to get fit by someone that doesn’t know me, my game or my ability (now up to a 6 handicap). Simply look at my swing/results, swap out shafts and heads, then recommend equipment based on the results. After a couple hours, the science paid off and we made proper equipment changes (stayed with Titleist ) With all that said, I have a couple questions; for you that know about puring a shaft, or have had it done, do you believe a premium/upgraded shaft needs it? How often do you have your swing evaluated (check your specs)?

Barry M — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:31:50 GMT

If you're buying quality equipment, don't fall for it. Focus on puring your shots, not the shaft.

Don, I couldn’t believe it but that commercial was still running the other day, selling those stupid ball balance markers. It’s so old it is blurry from not being filmed in HD and doesn’t fit the TV screen at 4:3 ratio.

Brock — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 13:48:54 GMT

It's another way for CC and TS to charge you another $300 for a set of irons. Tour trucks don't pure shafts, so no, you don't need it either.

RE: Puring shafts

TREVOR D — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:24:37 GMT

The fact that it's even a debate should tell you most of what you need to know. If I was on tour where .05 shots a round over the course of a season actually mattered and I didn't have to pay for it? Sure, because it can't hurt. But for an amateur golfer that's only gonna play his club championship or a state Mid-Am? It's the biggest con-job going. You won't notice a single bit of difference on even decent shafts.

Head over to GolfShaftReviews.com and just look at how consistent these shafts are, right from the factory. Save your money for more golf.

RE: Puring shafts

Don O — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 21:07:01 GMT

Remember the golf aids that would help find the true weight into order to have the ball roll correctly. Maybe 20 years ago that was useful. Even the other major OEM ball makers are catching up with Titleist on balls with better balance from the factories.

Golf shaft technology is also advancing to the point that purring shafts is more of a confidence factor than a necessity. Some of the custom club building shop still recommend it. Titleist doesn’t offer it on factory custom orders. That’s good enough for me.

My son finally went to his first Titleist fitting after a rough '25 season. He is a 3.2 index with tour level speed (125 club /180 ball ) & distance (290 carry). He is playing a TSR 2 driver with stock Hzrdus stiff 70 g 9 degree driver. His idea of a fitting was to hit a few clubs at the bay of a national retailer and pick a club based on feel.

He was fitted by Andy Inman. It was an eye opening experience. After one hour, Andy had him fit into a GT 3 11 degree with an 80 g Tensi White 1k pro. Andy took a quick look at his '23 T100s. Of course, the shafts were to light and not stiff enough. Once he saves some $, he will be back to get fitted for irons & wedges.

Golf equipment is a financial investment so it makes sense to get it right. More importantly, the proper equipment will definitely make the game more enjoyable. A fitting will not fix the swing or eliminate bad shots but the bad shots wont be as bad and the good shots will be even better.

RE: Fitting Experiences

Don O — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:33:17 GMT

In my personal opinion, large retail stores tend to focus on sales that day at the expense of getting your best fit.
Going to a Titleist sponsored fitting and putting down the $100 earnest money, you can be sure that person is willing to take the full hour to find out your expectations and will be able to order a driver to the length you need. There is no upcharge for a custom order using stock components from any authorized dealer. If GG sold you a driver out of their inventory, that’s a red flag to me.
Did you try the shaft from your TSi driver, since it is the length that worked for you?

Brad M — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 18:03:36 GMT

Hope you enjoy the new sticks! I went in for a GT fitting conducted through my local Golf Galaxy in mid-2025. The fitting was a great experience, but I had trouble generating the results I’d hoped for. Ball speed was 20 mph lower than my TSi2. I blame it on my swing, and maybe the fact that they had no way to lengthen the shaft by my normal 1”. Overall a fabulous looking club and a really good experience. I’m due for a new putter and intend on getting fitted for that as well. Considering a low/zero-torque model. As someone else mentioned, it would be great to hear from you with an update once you have some data points. Play well!

RE: Project X Red iron shafts

Patrick D — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:22:47 GMT

Any updates on how this shaft is working out for people? I just placed an order for T250 (5) and T150 (6-GW) with the 6.0 shafts. Titleist says 5 weeks, I say they’ll be here quicker. Excited to see how they’re going!

Project X Red iron shafts

Bax — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 12:08:33 GMT

Anyone try or been fit for these? I’m really impressed, was fit into the 6.0. I’m in Modus 105s now and it’s down to these two shafts. I used to hit the original Project X years ago, but switched to Nippon for a higher launch and softer feel.

If you have been fitted or tried these, please give me your thoughts on them. I like the idea of them matching up with the Project X wedge shafts in my SW and LW.

Sounds like it was a great experience. Glad you had a good time. Update us after you put a few rounds on the new clubs.

Have fun and play well.

RE: Fitting Experiences

Scott G — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 18:41:31 GMT

Was it all in a simulator? Or did you get to hit any outdoor shots? Know it’s winter but it looks like there are some covered bays.

Thinking of doing the fitting in the next few weeks, but would like to see true ball flights.
