Fraud alert - your golf clubs demo day
So, because zero golf shops in my hometown stock sh!t worth having, I asked my head pro about our upcoming demo day and what I could expect. I was looking to demo some 3woods in x stiff shafts and a Trackman. He "assured" me of both. All the big companies were there.
When I arrived nothing I was "assured" of was present. I stayed a while just to take in the scene. What I witnessed was appalling. These "fitters" are nothing more than hustlers. They all had these janky-ass launch monitors which were suspect at best with mainly stock shafts. I played along with one of these dudes just to see what he had to offer. I told him that I wanted a 13.5fd head and a proforce 96x which he did not have. So he puts a 13.5 fd with a rip a 80 shaft at 45 inches. I hit it ok choking it down, but clearly not optimal. He's like " man, forget the proforce you just need to get this shaft in the right length". He says to me, " that thing is not spinning at all". IT WAS BLOWING 15 MPH STRAIGHT DOWN WIND!
Anyway, I know I can be a bit overly principled BUT DAMN! These demo days are just snuff film production were sheep go to get sheared.
