What an awesome experience. I have been fitted before but this is like a tour fitting. Down to the exact loft, lie angle and swing weight for each club. Had to order tour spec shafts. This guy was exceptional to work with. Can't wait for the new clubs to arrive.
A quick Verocu before dinner and the Huskies game. Go Dawgs
What clubs did you end up with? My CC has been having fittings over the past few weeks from various manufacturers.

Mizuno JPX 900 forged irons with tuned KBS tour V X stiff shafts 1 inch over, 1 degree upright. Taylor Made M2 driver and 3 wood with tour spec Project X 6.5 graphite. A brand new model. The shafts were crazy expensive but by far the best for me. Titleist Vokey wedges with the same shaft set up as my irons. All clubs will be D6 swing weight.
I was playing all Titleist clubs for the last few years.
The new six iron added 20 yards distance and decreased my dispersion by 27%. Average carry 193 with average distance of 200. Average 6 iron swing speed is 100mph. Up 8 mph from my old irons.
Driver speed is down for me at 106 but the dispersion was over 30% better
My old Cameron putter was better on the putting machine than anything else we tried so sticking with the old Billy Barue. If you get that line.
They build each club. The manufacturers will send them heads, shafts and they assemble them to my specs.

Really excited. Been playing the best golf of my life and my set up was totally wrong even though they were custom fitted in 2012. My swing has changed a lot but this fitting was far more precise. This is worse than an incoming....10-14 days.

With the colder/wet weather I find it unpleasant to smoke cigars outside. I love being outside but sitting still for an hour makes me numb, even with a layer of cashmere or two...
Does anyone of you smoke cigars inside? I have done it a few times but find that it leaves a trashy smell inside which is not there after I smoke my pipe.

Bas, if you set up a sealed room with an air to air exchanger, you certainly can. My "Smoking room" has a weather sealed door and an air exchanger designed for 1,500 sq ft.. All the walls and ceiling are sealed so no smoke escapes.

Otherwise the results are as you described.

An original release of the 601 Connecticut. A fantastic peppery and spicy blend.

Yesterday, this fabulous Aging Room, Pelo Oro! One of the best cigars I have ever had (till the next one! Lol!)!



And today, another Aging Room and another excellent cigar, Solera.

Kevin, loving the cigar lounge!
When we built our house there was an extra room that was potentially a man cave cigar lounge but my wife decided she wanted it for a giant walk in closet...that concession has provided me some privileges with golf, cigars and watches, but I am out in the cold for winter smokes.

Sorry you have to be out in the cold, but a deal is a deal! Lol!

These two Aging Room cigars were really amazing! Looking at a couple of boxes too!
