About 6 months ago, I made a mistake. I bought a different brand of clubs believing their big fitting program would do something special for me. Since I'm 6'7" tall, their fitting program suggested a club so long and heavy that I couldn't handle it. Like many of us, I've always been guilty of changing myself to fit a set of clubs and without maintaining a realistic swingweight around D1 or D2, I lost distance and control.

I decided I had had enough and today, bought a set of AP1 irons, the 710 series. They are 1" extra long and swingweight at D2. They are 1* upright and as close to perfectly fitted for me as possible. It's going to be really, really nice to see the name Titleist on my irons again.

I'll decide later whether to sell the woods and hybrids from the previous set. I don't hit them badly at all, but the new Titleist drivers offer a lot for the money. Might have to make that move too.

I'm back home...
