I started playing 10 years or so ago. My local club sold me a set of Ping i3 blades. A very nice set of golf clubs. Unfortunately, however, totally wrong for me. a few years down the line they might have been right, but not as a beginner. A case of the pro shifting what stock he could?
After struggling with these clubs for a number of years, it was time to take some action having seen no real lasting improvement over this time.
Having read many articles extolling the virtues of custom fitting, I thought I would go down this route. Extensive research and reading of many reviews I opted to take a look at Mizuno clubs. Off to the Mizuno national fitting centre then.
Within a few swings with my Pings, I was informed they were clearly not right for me; no surprises there then! The pro then had me hit a variety of clubs with different shafts, lies etc. We plumped for a set of Mizuno MX200s with shorter shafts, correct lie and a decent set of grips. The whole process was informative, professional and enjoyable.
My game is now steadily improving, my ball striking greatly enhanced. With practise, I am sure my handicap will move in the right direction.
So, is custom fitting the way to go. In my, humble opinion, the answer is a resounding yes. Remember, with most manufacturers, custom fitting will not cost you any extra. So get fitted and get your game on track!

ProTrolley GT 300 golf trolley review
This is how my birthday present of 15 months ago looks now.
A brief overview of experience with this product:
- controls broke after 4 or 5 outings - repaired under warranty
- couple outings later handle cracked - repaired under warranty
- tyres shredding after around 8 to 10 rounds
- aluminium upright sheared rendering the trolley useless
- 36 hole battery lasts no more than 16 holes - struggles to get up minor inclines
- net result - ruined trolley - company expects me to pay more money to sort it out
My recommendation - steer well clear. I had uploaded a review to youTube - this has mysteriously been banned for defamation - a simple, honest review of a shoddy product.
Hmm - ProTrolley - the truth hurts!
