Really Want Lower Scores? Let Your Fitter Make the Rules | Fully Equipped Gear | Golf.com
A fitting rule built from experience
Morrow told Steenson that his approach to fittings began before he joined GOLF. At the TaylorMade Kingdom, he was fit for the Qi35 by Matt Simone and Duane Anderson.
They found that a forward weight bias made it harder for Morrow to get the clubhead through the ball. He said the result was often a weak push that lacked launch, so he stopped testing heads with front weight and began with weight in the back.
Finding the right GTS setup
During Morrow’s GTS fitting at TPI, Hunter referred to Morrow’s earlier video. They tested the available heads and weight settings, but the fitting pointed toward a back-weighted head to improve strike.
The back-weighted GTS4 did not provide enough spin, while the back-weighted GTS2 produced a flight Morrow considered unsuitable for his game. The GTS3 in its back-weighted setting worked best, and the team added more rear weight than the standard setup.
Let the fitter solve the problem
Steenson described the driver head as a problem for Morrow to solve, while saying the player is the fitter’s problem to solve. Morrow encouraged golfers to let fitters do their jobs, noting that they are trained to help prepare players for the season.
Morrow said having a trusted fitter who knows and cares about a golfer’s game can build confidence in their clubs. For golfers seeking that relationship, he recommended booking a fitting with a local True Spec Golf.
