Because we learn from results, ballflight will almost always be your determining factor in regards to equipment. With that being said, get fit NOW to where you want to be so that the ball flight will respond positively to your changes.

I have showed this at every one of Lynn's schools and I think everyone got it. You can make a "perfect golf swing" and the ball fly off line because of poor equipment. Your brain will never let you make that swing again because of this poor shot. Eventually you go back to the swing you were making, your teacher has to spend more time with you and you both become frustrated.

I use clubs to change motion in my students swing because it is much easier to learn from ball flight than anything else.

I guess I'm ok with this philosophy if both clubfitter and the person being fitted are crystal clear on the end goal and how to get there. I suspect I have neither. My clubfitter (the pro at my course) is not trying to improve my game by teaching technique (certainly not TGM) or using clubfitting to enourage change but rather trying to get my clubs correct for my current swing - good or bad.

That being said, I now have blades that are long by at least an inch over mizuno standard, 2 deg flat, and rather high in swingweight. What I would like to hear is an opinion if this has special considerations or things to avoid in TGM. For example....does it eliminate some of the more vertical plane angles? are certain release types not appropriate for long, heavy clubs? that kind of stuff.

TGM is such a large catalog and I am not discerning enough to know what is compatible and not compatible with my swing tendencies and my equipment.
