Game_On Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I bought a Titleist GT2 driver just to test it out and compare it to my 917D2 (w/ Oban shaft 75gram / 44"). My thought has been, with all of the adjustability capabilities, buying and keeping the new driver should, temporarily, be alright. I could just be fitted into my new GT2 driver. But then I start thinking - what if the GT2 isn't the right driver head for my swing? This is where I'm stuck and cause use everyone's input. Quote TITLEIST!...

getitdaily Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 If you like the look of that driver and you like the ballflight from it then a fitting isn't necessary. If you want to maximize the potential of that driver then a fitting is absolutely necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_On Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 Mint Titleist GT2 Driver 9° Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Black 65 Graphite Stiff Right Handed 45.5in These are the driver specs I bought. I love everything about this setup. I've been away from the game for over 6 years, due to some significant health issues. I know it'll take a little while to get my swing back. But this new driver setup seems to mitigate my flaws a little. I would, most definitely, get a fitting done mainly to tweak the head a little and fit into the right shaft. I believe I'm alright for the time being. Quote TITLEIST!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBH9458 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 It can help, if nothing else it can dial you in for weight and trajectory. I’ve been successful doing it once, and I’ve been challenged by the outcome once to get that repeatability in the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Biarritz Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Absolutely necessary? No. People have been buying clubs off the rack for many, many years. But, given that a lot of places apply the cost of fitting to the cost of the club, the fitting can be free, so why not get fit if that is the case?

bnperrone Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The answer to your question is No. But with current technology, the odds of you finding the best available option on your own are very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee3 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 It’s like buying a shirt without trying it on. It’ll be in the ball park but probably not a perfect fit. If you know that shaft works for you that is a good start though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game_On Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 I have the GT2 driver now. I've been contemplating returning it. But with all of the adjustments that could be made, I'm wondering whether or not to keep it. I will be taking lessons and a fitting within the next few weeks. I'm curious about you all would do if you were had the same dilemma? Quote TITLEIST!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game_On Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Point taken. I might just send it back and go through the whole process after a few lessons and a couple of rounds on the course. Quote TITLEIST!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
