The reason my instructor/fitter suggested the longer shafts, was not for distance. That is not an issue. I have fairly short arms and videos of my swing revealed that I was way too bent over at address, and I would compensate with each succeeding swing by widening my stance in an attempt to reach the ball. We tried shafts at 1/2", 1", 1 1/2', 2", and 2 1/2" over before determining that 2" over 5* flat worked best (off the ground, not just the board by the way). I got the best ball flight with a nice slight draw.
I am very aware of the slagging HG takes on the Australian golf boards (such as I Seek Golf). It reminds me of the beating that Adams Golf took over at Bombsquadgolf before the proprietors at that site got in bed with Adams. Now they and their lemming readership sing the praises of Adams drivers, irons, wedges, and hybrids. As I said in my first post, I will keep you posted on how things work out, and what adjustments are made to tweak the irons, if necessary.
As for the recommendation of finding a TGM savy fitter, HG likes their fitters to be TGM authorized (many are), and their head honcho, who posts on this board is an AI, right?
I already alluded to my instructor's TGM connections. The very first feedback I got at my first lesson was "we need to correct your finish swivel." The demonstration was straight out of the book.
