		<description>I had a fantastic opportunity to get fitted by the guys from Ping last Fall.  The Ping van was at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, VA - lucky for me, my sister is a member there.

The fitting system they use is just AWESOME.  With interchangeable shafts and club heads, they are able to switch out grips, shafts, head angles - virtually any component of the club.  

I left with a rude awakening - my olf set of eye II&#039;s were completely and utterly wrong for me.  I went +2 degrees upright, orange diameter grip, stiff shaft.  I was totally backwards.

Game improved almost immediately - gott alove a good club fitting!!!

TP - enjoyed  your insight above...</description>

		<description>Good points, TP.  I was measured for clubs years ago, but never had any sort of launch analysis.  For years, I&#039;ve played irons that are half an inch long and two degrees upright.

In a couple of range sessions since the failed fitting, I got my swing on video and think I see what&#039;s been going on.  At the top, my club is getting way above plane (almost vertical) and I was re-routing underneath on the way down and getting stuck.  Today, I worked on getting more on-plane and I was hitting the ball much, much better.  I&#039;m pretty sure this is strictly a swing problem, but I&#039;m definitely going to go back when I feel like I&#039;m doing what I need to.

As far as the fitter goes, he&#039;s got a good reputation and I felt that he was capable in our limited interaction.

I&#039;ll keep you posted as things develop.  Thanks for sharing your insights.  It&#039;s much appreciated.</description>

		<description>DE, are your current irons fitted to you yet.  If you know already that  you need more upright clubs with a longer shaft then reading that your irons were coming into the impact closed is not surprising.  

If your club are too flat for your swing will have the same effect as hitting a ball on a side slope that is below your feet.  The ball will tend to be pushed and the effect is magnified with clubs that have more loft.

The fact that you closed the face is a common compensation for swinging a club that has a lie angle that is too flat.  Clubs with a higher loft need more compensation than a those with less loft.  So that your driver was swung more to the norm is because you need to make less of a compensation than with the iron you were measured with.

My first club fitting was an eye opening experience.  I remember using the old ping system that only took static measurements and I would have fit into an orange dot.  So I assumed that I would have a flat lie angle when I was fitted.  But no.  My fitting showed I was 4 degrees upright and 3/4 inch over length so almost 6 degrees in total.  

I see the benefits more now that I do not play as often each year as I had in the past (kids in sports and other family priorities).  I find I get my feel back fast than in the past.

If you think the results are inaccurate go for a second opinion.  A fitter should also include a follow up after you have received the clubs to be sure the clubs were built to the correct specs.</description>
