Guys

If you've had particularly good (or bad) service from a Mizuno fitter  - here's the place to let others know.

Will read your comments with interest.

Tony at St Austell does a fantastic job - recently got the DNA cart, I sat in on a mates fitting and it was as comprehensive as my fitting at the NFC - just wished he got it sooner as it would of saved me a 500 mile round trip !

Gareth Benson runs a great set-up at Astley Golf Centre near Bolton. I had a brilliant fitting with him there a year or so back. He also uses flightscope and has a dedicated fitting and teaching bay opening up onto the driving range. Absolutely first class

Jason McNiven at Golf Principles in Basingstoke - Jason is one of the best in the business & has fitted numerous top Pro's (as well as hackers like me!) - I have recommended him to several players at my club & everyone that has used him has only had praise of the highest order ... Paul
PS - His eBay shop (emilyisasuperstar) is a source of some excellent bargains, especially shafts (not much there at the mo as he has been on holiday)

Hehe I've bought the odd shaft from there - very cheap pulled shafts and good service

Any recommendations for the midlands?

Have tried to book in at the Belfry and they don't custom fit Mizuno anymore :(

I'm after more than just swing DNA - I'd like to use a good launch monitor, outside ideally and have more choice than just using a 6 iron.

Thanks for any help

Snainton have the DNA cart, flightscope, driving range as well as a small short course for teaching as well as the shop at Scarborough. They also own the centre at Sheffield. They are looking at expanding those facilities this year so hopefully they will become a bigger Mizuno centre in the future

Although a lot of people dont like the big chains like AG & Dierct Golf, I have used both in the midlands before and had good experiences with them.


DG - Walsall (J10 off M6)

AG - 3 Hammers Golf complex (J2 off M54)


The AG in Telford is my local store and are very good but for a complete fitting then the 3 hammers one would suit better as both the 3 Hammers and DG at Walsall you hit out onto a range so can see the ball flight.

Hopefully I can hit them as well on the course as I did on the fitting range

Has anyone had experience of Paul Foston at Smarden in Kent or can recommend another good fitter in the Kent area. Would prefer to be hitting out onto a range which I don't think Paul Foston has?

Cheers, Mark
