  1. I went through this process, it was awesome, I was using the wrong shaft
    for 2 years and the standard lie should have been 2 degrees upright! so
    glad i did this.

  2. luke is one of my favorite golfers. loved when he stated how he was the #1
    golfer in the world and didnt need a machine to tell him what he needs lol

  3. Have played Mizuno irons for over 20 years but only had a custom fit when
    I bought my MP63’s last year, turns out the DG R300’s I have been using
    were flat out wrong.Now in dynalite S300 and the strike is so much more
    under control.

  4. Luke really isnt into this. Shaft Optimizer?, more like Shite optimizer
    !!!!. No machine should tell you what FEELS best for you. “Golf is about
    Feel”-Ben Hogan. Seems all the manufacturers ignore this,,,just to get your
    $$$$$$$.

  5. Funny how Danny’s choice of words about Golfonax is Exactly the same word
    for word as Tiesha Oberhoefer in the comments section of ultimategolftips
    website. What a fake!

  6. Strange…I have almost the exact same swing speed (89) and tempo, and the
    rest of the numbers are almost identical, and yet on the Swing DNA display
    at the stores it puts Donald MUCH higher than me on the plot chart.

  7. Obviously he doesn’t care. Give him an S300 and move on. He’s rank 1st in
    the world. He wanted to say “Listen champ, when you get on the tour, come
    talk to me. Until then, fuck your X100.”

  8. lonestargun – you would be surprised how consistent the 5 measurements of a
    ‘hack’ are with this system. As it doesn’t measure the ball …quality of
    strike is unimportant. It’s all about what forces we place on the shaft and
    when. That’s something we all tend to repeat.

  9. “I guess I got to World No. 1 by being a consistent runner-up & not winning
    any majors” I’ve lost a lot of respect for Luke Donald after watching this.

  10. I so need to get fitted with this system! Just tried the JPX800PRO on KBS
    stiff shaft and after that tried the rifel Projectj-X X-stiff shaft and the
    difference is huge on flight-scope. Same head same loft. All club
    manufacturers should have this system!

  11. Had a mizuno fitting today – ended up with MP-59s. I swing a bit slower (i
    was half way between donald and the girl on the graph.) Just wanted to say
    how happy i was with the entire experience. Top class service and I would
    recommend this to anyone even if they didn’t want to buy mizuno clubs
    because the gadget will get you the right shaft specs for your irons.

  12. I believe this helps those who have a consistent swing temp like Luke. Most
    hacks want to kill the ball and of course the shaft is going to be
    different than those with a consistent swing

  13. This technology is great for joe average who hits mostly on weekends. We
    don’t have time (and money) to keep trying different shafts. Not sure why
    they don’t have 2 6-iron heads so we can compare shafts quickly and go back
    and forth without having to unscrew and rescrew heads. If the forging
    process is reliable the heads would feel exactly the same. Thanks!

  14. I believe thistechnology works. Last year I got DNA fitted for JPX 800
    irons. The shaft recommended was the Dynalite Gold XP R300 and since I got
    these irons my scoring is so much better. Distance with these irons is
    amazing. Hitting the pitching wedge around 145 to 150 yds in summer and the
    4 iron over 210 yds with just a good full turn and solid swing. Certainly
    has helped my game a lot and so would recommend a fitting from Mizuno.

  15. As Luke says – he’s had years of trial and error to nail down his
    preference for Dynamic Gold S300. Video isn’t about Luke changing shafts –
    we were just showing him how we fit for amateur golfers that don’t have
    years to figure it out (or a swing that repeats quite as well).

  16. “I think that’s a cool gadget and will be helpful for a lot of people”….
    “except for me cause I’m the man and I’m #1” But, seriously, he is the man.

  17. S300 parallel and S300 taper have different step patterns and tip points
    e.g. S300 parallel is tipped alot closer to the hosel and in my opinion
    plays alot tip stiffer than taper. I hit S300 parallel and cannot hit taper
    as straight ( MP 11 ). However I cannot hit X100 taper as well ( too low,
    MP 37 ) as the butt diameter is wider and alot stiffer. Glad you now have a
    machine that has taken me a decade and a lot of money to figure out! Thanks
    Mizuno!

  18. Not a fan of the changeable loft drivers that ate coming out bc you when
    you improve then you have to change it again. But def believe finding the
    right shaft will help tremendously

  19. As a club fitter this is great nice to see videos of pros getting fit would
    love to see the trackman numbers as well you should post more videos of
    pros getting fit.

  20. Looking forward to purchasing some new irons (possibly mp64) in a few
    months – Can regional fitters test which shafts (and grip hopefully) I
    would need? And if so any in the Sheffield, United Kingdom area ? Cheers
