Has anyone had an irons fitting at Gleneagles
If so what are your thought about it
Thanks
Hi Broony,
I had my last set of irons custom fitted at the Mizuno Performance centre at Gleneagles on the 23rd October 2019, my custom fit was done by Tour fitter Matt McIsaac who was there along with the Mizuno Tour Truck,
If you search on YouTube you will see videos of Matt custom fitting James Robinson Golf and Peter Finch Golf having their Mizuno irons fitted by him,
First thing Matt needed to establish was what my requirements and expectations were regarding what modal of iron I was looking at and what would be best suited to me
The process started with me hitting balls on the range to get warm and loosened up prior to the start of the fitting I then got to hit the three shots using the iron fitted with the DNA system that recorded my swing data which then displayed three possible iron shafts that may be a suitable fit, I got to hit various styles of head that were on offer all were 6 irons eventually settling on the JPX900 Hot Metal I cant recall what all the recommended shafts were but I did try them all and a few others that were not on the suggested shaft list eventually opting for the KBS Tour C-Taper Lite 105 regular flex shaft as the one that gave me the best performance between feel, dispersion, flight & distance which was 158 yards in total for a six iron,
I was only having a custom fit for a set of irons that day but they did have the Drivers, Hybrid's & I think the wedges available also if I had been looking to get them
The hole process took around an hour and I found it a most enjoyable experience, Matt is a very knowledgeable fitter with excellent communication skills who knows the Mizuno product well and made me fell very at ease answered any questions I had at the time and never tried to force his opinion's or choices on me,
As an added bonus once we were finished with my custom fit I got a guided tour round the Mizuno Tour truck accompanied by Matt and Alex Thorne who is the Tour manager, I found it very interesting to see how it was all laid out how the clubs are measured balanced adjusted and assembled and how it all comes together as the finished club,
All in all a most enjoyable day I can highly recommend it..!
Cheers
John.
