went to scheels hoping to replace my r11s. I had my eye on a ts2 or g410 plus. Asked to hit both in 9 and 10.5 degrees with a low launching stiff shaft. i hit a few with the ping before i realized he gave me the SFT instead of plus model and ping's higher launching shaft. when i asked for the plus with a lower launch shaft, the kid told me all stiff shafts are the same some are just different colors. I knew i wasn't listening to anything he said after this. I hit some more with the g410 in 10.5, put one 303 down the pipe. Never going back there for clubs, but I loved the head so i ordered one online with the even flow 6.0 in 9 degrees. I figure i can move it +/- 1.5 degrees and have no interest going up to 12. I am pretty pumped to get it!

Not how a fitting works. Should have gone to a real place.

did you have to pay for the fitting? I wouldn't have if I couldn't even hit the stuff I wanted to hit. I was going to the beach and there is a golf place down there that advertised fittings so I scheduled one really early in the morning before my wife woke up and it was going to be 50 or 75 for a driver fitting. Got there and they only had shafts to fit the Callaway driver at the time and some different stock stuff. I refused to pay for the fitting as they tried to convince me that the callaway with a stock x shaft was perfect for me despite me not hitting it very well.

Guy at Dicks told my buddy the same thing. Essentially, that all shafts are the same. Said he heard it from Callaway.

Made me think three things:
1.) Kid was clueless and completely misunderstood what was told
2.) Not much yardage difference between flexes of the same line of shaft and my buddy misunderstood
3.) Callaway is watering down all their shafts because they know the average golfer doesnt get any benefit from stiffer flex low launch stuff.
