I appreciate your knowlege but I think that presenting doubt to someone who is obviously happy with his changed appearance and swing motion is wrong. The player made a point of of referencing his teacher's lineage and its TGM roots so why question the club. Have you seen him swing? Do you know his physical size and/or limitations? Why can't a player play in grass with +2"? Isn't a 5 iron 2 inches longer than a 9 iron?

Just like TGM, HG believes in options. I really wish that "standard" would go away and we could all deal with the real.
I was not referring to the fellow above as having been fitted wrongly at all as his fitter DID know what he was doing. The HG cart is magic options wise and because of it a player gets to TRY so much more than any OEM cart has a chance to offer. Indeed their post purchase service should be second to none product wise for those not getting the intended result.

Sadly fitting down under is very much a bottom rank set of skills with many a player not being fitted for all the variables you mentioned above. Clubs are more about the sales than the playability for the individual player (and I stress this is not a comment on HG fitting there!!!!) .
