Episode notes
Leonard's Personal Driver Fitting Experience
- Michael Leonard recently did an outdoor Callaway driver fitting and feels hesitant to change because his current driver has produced a long stretch of good results.
- He plans indoor TrackMan testing and buying locally from Old Town Golf Shop if he switches.
Don't Be Brand Loyal With Your Bag
- Avoid brand loyalty when building your bag.
- Michael Leonard mixes brands (Callaway driver, PXG irons, Titleist wedges, TaylorMade putter) because no single maker fits every club role.
Fit Driver And Putter Before Anything Else
- Get fit for your driver and putter first.
- Leonard says if you only fit two clubs, make them driver (shaft, loft, spin) and putter because they affect tee shots and every hole.
