    Living in the Northeast, my golf swing predictably loses its form during the dormant winter months, but is also not helped by my constant tinkering. Two years ago, I could not resist a driver/wood and iron fitting at PXG during the winter, which was free with purchase of deeply discounted prior season's clubs. What I thought was a great fitting session resulted in clubs that I could not hit for my life during the spring to fall season. I spent the better part of the year adjusting my swing to fit the new clubs. The fitter admitted that his recommendations based on my swing at the time of fitting could be off if my swing changed after the fitting; he recommended that I schedule a summer fitting when I am in mid season form. It would seem to me that it would require a drastic swing change to be that off? It's confusing since the Trackman numbers seemed great during the fitting. Is this common? I am thinking about coming back to Titleist, but I'm concerned about having a similar experience. Would appreciate any feedback.

    Think might be best to see a PGA teaching instructor to fine tune your swing. I have not played since October and probably will not be back on the course until March or until the doctors release me (lower back surgery) to begin swinging the clubs again. They will allow me to start with a putter then wedges working my way up to the metals over a period of weeks. I cannot jump back into hitting a full bag right a way. Has my swing changed, most definitely. It will require some fine tuning and I will go to my longtime teacher. My swing will definitely not be the same after a five month layoff.

    Having a long layoff requires working your way back into the game with some assistance from a professional.

    There are fitters, especially at big box stores, that are paid bonuses for making sales from certain brands of clubs. I know of some Titleist fitters who have told clients that the existing set up is good to keep. Point being, find a good fitter with a great reputation and communicate your issues. Let them know that consistency is your primary goal and they will likely help fit you into a set that will make this bad days much better. Hopefully you get into a set of Titleist clubs that you love.
