ποΈ Kickoff: Scotty Cameron Putter Fitting
πͺ Behind Closed Doors:
I started the day at the Scotty Cameron Putter Studio, a top-secret R&D haven where magic happens.
Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed, but I went through a custom putter fitting with the Scotty Cameron team.
π― Outcome:
Walked away with a putter that suits my stroke and offers exceptional feel on the greens.
π Golf Ball Fitting with JJ: Pro V1 Comes Out on Top!
π§ The Approach:
JJ and I focused on starting from the green and working back through the bag.
Feel Preference: I prefer a softer feel with high launch and good stopping power on the greens.
π Key Insights:
The Pro V1 offered the best balance of feel, height, and spin control.
Maintained consistent height around 95 feet, which helped with shot stopping power.
β³ Iron Fitting: From 7-Iron to Long Irons
π¦ Initial Observations:
My approach play has been my weakest point, needing improvement in flight control and distance gapping.
Spin rates were too high, making it difficult to control shots in the wind or hit a consistent stock shot.
Settled on the Dynamic Gold X100 shaft, which is the most played shaft on the PGA Tour.
π The Results:
Consistent peak height within the 95-100 ft window.
Achieved a descent angle of 48Β°, ideal for stopping power on the greens.
Full set configuration:
Pitching Wedge to 5-Iron:T150
4-Iron:T200 for increased ball speed and forgiveness.
πͺ Wedge Fitting: Fine-Tuning the Short Game
π§ The Strategy:
Goal was to fix gapping issues and improve feel around the greens.
Focused on trajectory control, not just hitting every shot as high as possible.
π Key Changes:
Moved from 10S grind to 14F grind in the sand wedge to add bounce and improve turf interaction.
Transitioned to a VG grind on the lob wedge to lower the flight and provide more control.
π Pro Tips from Aaron:
Adjusted bounce and sole grind to match course conditions and swing type.
Encouraged using the sand wedge not just for bunkers but for more versatile shots around the green.
