I am looking at getting fitted for a set of irons soon and was wondering which fitters may have the most left handed options. I’m not a brand loyalist but would prefer to have some options available. I’m in Baton Rouge but willing to drive for a proper fitting.

I would assume any fitter worth his salt would have lefty options.

But I can’t give you an honest answer because it’s never been something I’ve looked for.

OP, ignore this dumbass take. Not one time in 4 sessions and multiple conversations with Buddha has he ever suggested I play Mizunos. He talked me out of spending more money than I needed to more than once.

He’s thorough, listens to your preferences, and suggests what the numbers say you should do. His builds are well done and he works fast.

Buddha is the man. I went through an entire fit and he didn't suggest a single new club. He recommended I buy 2 shafts on ebay for about $30 each which he installed in my 3 wood and hybrid, he soft-stepped my iron shafts, and installed these unbelievable japanese grips that I had to have. All in including fit <$700 and the clubs and grips that lasted for 5 years. Someone with profit as their primary motivator would never have done that.

The grips, shaft stepping, and fitting together was $700?

The grips cost $22 each, which is how much they run online, but I chose those over tour velvet etc. So 12 of these was almost $300. Although expensive, the grips are still in like new condition 5 years later, and I play a lot.

He installed shafts on 10 clubs ($25 per in BR), Pured them ($20/per), installed 13 grips ($3-5 per here), recommended new shafts based on his knowledge that saved me a ton of money, matched swingweights (I wouldn't trust the businesses in BR to even try this), and did a full bag fitting for less than $400.

Just a fitting at club champion runs about $400. Buddha providers very good value

Schedule a fitting with Trevor @ Impact Precision Golf in Houston. It will be worth your time & fuel.

Any updates? I'm left handed as well. I've always played Ping since they seem to be the most LH friendly but I've never been fitted.
