Subject: Taylor Made rac-LT - 5 degrees upright?
|
So, I bit the bullet today and ordered a set of Rac LT irons. I went
through the club fitting procedure, and the end result was that the
clubs need to be bent 5 degrees upright. Ouch. They of course didn't
want to do it, so they're going to ship the order to Taylor Made on
Monday. They're not even sure if Taylor Made will bend the clubs that
much, so this enter discussion might be pointless :-(
Has anyone else had any experience with getting clubs modified this
substantially? Will Taylor Made do it?
I'm very tempted to head to the Human Performance Lab at the University
of Calgary where they have a Taylor Made swing analysis system. It
costs $100, but it might be worth it to get the exact fitting details.

I'd go somewhere else, don't mention the other fitting, and see what
they say.
Unless you are 6'5", with a 32 inch sleevelength, 5 degrees seems like
a lot.

5 degrees is almost unheard of.
I would ask for a re-fitting from someone else. Why risk getting the wrong
angle?

I also agree that the fitting was erroneous.

5 degrees is a substantial amount so, I think that your $100 would be
well spent to have it done in Calgary. If anything you would have peace
of mind.

Wow! That's a lot. Who fitted you? What is their experience/training?
I'd get a second opinion.

From what I was told, TaylorMade will ship you pretty much what you order
through their custom department (no additional charge). I have R7XD irons on
order now that are 1.5" longer 2 deg upright (nets out to 4 degree upright
when the length is factored in). I am getting Tour Velvet grips instead of
TM, and a special shaft not even listed on their website (don't remember the
model steel-something with a low kickpoint in stiff--the golf pro sent in
the order so he knows). All this stuff is not only doable, but apparently,
according to this pro who has been to the custom club operation in Calif,
they do this for anybody in about 5 days. Did I mention it's the same price
as "off the rack"? Ping is the same way--not sure about others. I am getting
a Ping Rapture hybrid (soon-not quite released yet) but am only getting a
different grip on that one so not really a big deal. I never knew these club
mfgs. would do this much for you--apparently it is quite common.

You are correct in that the club companies will do these types of
adjustments for the customer. However, just because TaylorMade is
willing to bend the OP's irons 5* upright does not necessarily mean
that they *should* be bent this much.
Hence, my post.

Did they fit you for every club in the set? If they only fit you on
one club you could have a serious problem. Titleist did that to me a
long time ago and I almost hit the ball over my left shoulder with the
wedge. Had to be retested with every iron and had to readjust them
al. I have a problem with retaining my spine angle in the long irons
and go from std. lie in the wedges to 5° up in my 3 iron (increases
gradually thru set and are std graphite length). I'm only 6 ft. and a
7 hcp. and I have tried to go with less lie adjustment but I go back
to the same specs. every time.
So, just as the other guys suggest, get retested by someone else
before you order.
