What are some of our fitter’s favorite club fittings of the year? 2nd Swing Fitters fit hundreds if not thousands of golfers every year, but do they have favorite club fittings? In this 2nd Swing Thoughts podcast, 2nd Swing Master Fitters Jake Montgomery and Maxwell Busch share some of their most memorable club fittings in 2025 including this one on a golfer with an incredibly fast swing.
I had a guy come in where his land angle was preposterous. I mean, we were almost in the 60 degree range for land angle to start. Sure. Uh he was using a set of blueprint S’s at the time, which he had kind of bought off the shelf. He knew the specs he was somewhat looking for. I mean, he was in extra stiff because I mean his club head suit is off the chart. I’m talking like 105 miles an hour with the seven iron. So, just a freak of nature really. Yeah. But his spin rate was exceeding 8,000 on some shots. Uh, so really we just need to manage that height because the peak height got up to 180 ft on a couple of those. The carry was pretty good. I mean it was still at about 210 if you caught a good one, but I mean if it if you got a spinny one, it was 180. So really no distance control there. Uh, we ended up going in the Stricksson ZXi7 head, which for any players out there with a ton of speed, it’s a great head for you cuz it it manages spin pretty well, even for a steeper player. So we did those one degree strong. And then we also put Caper 130 X’s, which if anyone knows iron shafts out there, that is about as stiff and low launch as you can possibly get. That it is. And then we hard stepped them. So we built him the lowest launching, lowest spinning option possible. Yeah. But the most important thing really was his consistency of spin and of ball speed. So he’s one of the rare players where I was actually looking for an iron that would help us decrease ball speed. Because if we minimized his spin but maintained the ball speed of where it was at, I mean, his seven iron was going to go 230 yards, which creates a lot of gaps in the bag when it comes down to the wedges there. So, we got his carry pretty consistently right around 210, land angle at 54 degrees. Honestly, that was probably one of the times I felt more accomplished in a bay was just helping someone with that level of
