I spent an hour with a popular local club fitter and had some interesting results.

To start, I'm pretty spoiled after seeing that HG cart and the ability to try different heads and shafts quickly and easily. This was also a good reminder as to how good TGM-based instruction is when compared to the traditional golf terminology and approach to instruction.

I have a history of an over-the-top move in my swing. I've lessened it this past year but anytime I come off a break from golf, it's usually a problem. Although not terrible, today wasn't much different. We tried several shafts, but when he gave me a regular flex shaft it immediately helped my swing path be less out to in by several degrees. With my swing speed, spin was a big concern we had with the regular flex. I'm going to continue working on my swing and visit him again in a month or two, but I'm curious what are some of the reasons the shaft flex would improve my plane? Am I just loading and retaining the lag better?
