hree golf swings to give you accurate recommendations

You need to find your swing DNA,” said a Mizuno representative. Immediately I thought of mind-boggling formulas, and confusing explanations but decided to give it a go.

After all, this is the technological era – and if it works for Luke Donald it can work for me, right?

Most competitive golfers in the region are aware of the 34-year-old because of his impressive tour CV.

Before actually hitting any balls, Morris showed me the Mizuno fitting cart packed with 40 heads, 55 shafts and two Ping G20 irons clever pieces of technology – a Shaft Optimiser, which is essentially a 6-iron with sensors along its shaft, and Swing DNA software.

You couldn’t argue with him, he was spot-on. I’d even go as far as saying they were the most comfortable clubs I had ever layed hands on.

The kick angle is quite high and Morris explains how that determines whether I need a stiffer mid section to help me get the best out of my clubs.

The sensors on the shaft monitor five key parameters (head speed, tempo, toe down, kick angle and release factor) as the club is swung, and send that data to a laptop computer, armed with software which makes recommendations for both shaft and clubhead.

It reminded me how much I had missed the game and that feeling grew after hitting the new Mizuno MP59 irons – the club I had quickly taken a feel for – to warm-up .

Morris explains that 82 is my discount golf clubs speed (mph) and is about average for the male club golfer and reflects my handicap of eight. This is the main marker of what shaft flex I will need.

Finally the release factor is somewhere in the middle which means that I have three shaft options available to me.

Exactly a year ago he scooped 34,000 Euros in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth with a tied 31st finish.
But it’s teaching that takes up the majority of the likeable pros time nowadays so a quick custom-fitting session with me was a stroll in the park.

The most suitable out of the three by far was the Dynalite XP S300 and. after checking the club’s loft and lie position. I finally had the perfectly-fitted six-iron in my hands.

The accuracy was clear for me to see and the results had made up my mind.

A few more shots followed and I seemed to be Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons hitting the ball really well. The soft feel compared to my current irons was exceptional.

“They are an unbelievable set of bats,” he said. “Everyone who hits them feels the same, they can’t believe how great the ball feels off the face.”

However the real test was whether they would actually better my game.

On site at Walmley, Morris is armed with top-of-the-range custom-fitting equipment himself and his impressive piece of kit revealed that I was hitting the MP-59’s an average of 9.4 yards longer per-iron than my current clubs.
