    So I finally was able to see a local fitter in the area, Roger Hatcher, at 1757 Golf Club in Ashburn, VA yesterday. I wanted to send out a special thanks to him for taking the time to work with me & my swing to get the best out of my clubs. Unlike other fitters I've been to, he took the time to fit the club to my swing and not me to the club. He saw what he was working with (my short stature, bad hip & bad back) and was able to adjust the 917 D2 to maximize carry distance, launch angle & spin rate. I was one of the easiest people he had ever dealt with though. I came equipped with about 7 different shafts, both the D2 & D3, and said "here ya go ... now fix me!" He thought it was funny. He knew he had a devoted Team Titleist member on his hands after he saw my bag tag & my entire bag full of Titeist clubs. After a good hour of hitting balls (my hands starting hurting), we ended up with a D1 setting, 14g fade biased weight with the Aldila Rogue Max stiff shaft. Was averaging about 97 mph swing speed (which is good for this old body) and about 270 yards. What I liked most was the dispersion! The 917 D2 is hands down one of the most consistent clubs I have ever owned. I came in actually playing the D3 for the most part but the numbers don't lie ... the D2 was that much better. Better dispersion & about 10 - 15 yards longer. Again .... please recognize Roger Hatcher for a job well done for me. And Titleist ... keep up the great work. I have & will always be a Team Titleist member!

    HI Blake, We don't have a Titleist Thursday upcoming, but CC of Oxford - Ricky Hamilton is the pro and fitter there. To schedule a fitting and check pricing, give him a call - Ricky's number is 662-234-2866.
    Nearby is Tupelo CC. We will do a multi-vendor day in Tupelo at Big Oaks - May 27 and our Produce Specialist will be there.
  6. I wish we had more options for fittings in my area. I live in south Alabama and the options are very limited

    I did a fitting last year but for irons. Maybe I'll get out and do a driver fitting.
