Hi 4dtoto, the price of the Anser, 5 - PW is about S$1750 (steel shaft), price quoted from Custom Golf @ Bishan driving range.

Make me drool further.....must remain compose...dun buy on impulse...

i have been eyeing ping rapture v2 for a long time. and i tried the demo set, it's extremely forgiving. my shot had some bad contacts but the ball flew. i was very impress.

S70B: what kind of fitting program is available stateside for Callaway, TM and Ceveland?

I wonder why Cally, TM and Cleveland dont have fitting program (or fitters) here in Asia. If lie fitting is so important in irons, how do they get the most of their irons (mostly cast, and just one lie model) fit the customers? Is lie fitting really that important? or it is only relevant to good players?

Is there a "sweet spot" lie angle that most of us will be suitable to, give or take, a half degree? Why are there so many happy owners of X-20s, CG7s, and Burner irons..despite no fitting (or bending) of their clubs?

on the other hand, Ping is so bent on lie fitting with their color codes etc..

i just had my lie adjusted for my irons recently because my coach showed me on video what i was doing and why the resulting ball flight. with the wrong lie angle, u are not rewarded when you make a good swing, in my case when i make a good swing, because the club was too upright, i was pulling or drawing my shots and because of that i had the tendency to block my shots a little to get it straight. there in lies all my problems, i was getting very inconsistent results with wide dispersion, with a club with proper lie, at least i know when i am swinging in on the rails and in plane the ball flight should be straight.

I tot Cally have a fitter who is at Pan West and TM fitter is at their Cathay Shop ??

is it the Pan West guy that used to be on Parkland range?

What kind of fitting options are available for TM at Cathay? They have an online fitting tool and its site mentions about custom shafts.

Not too sure about the TM. But there is a indoor net room at the Cathay store, shud be the same liek in Golf House Marina... As for the Cally, it is a Eurasian guy, can't remember his name, he used to have a trolley moving around the ranges for demo and fitting using computer and also the actual flight. Think he is located at the Jln Pemimpin place..

hi bro,

have you got the X-proto ?

Apologies,

I take back what I say about there are no such services by OEMs as I think Rick Brown of Titleist can offer some options of places for clubfitting with a Trackman.

As for the X-Protos, I have them on order now. The new-groove version are on back-order till end of June here.

Fitting session is supposed to be scheduled in the middle of next mth. Watch this forum...
