Re: What do you look for when getting fitted for new irons?

Got a 9:30am fitting for my son this weekend. Il will fill in what I saw the guy do (or not do) afterwards. I kind of 'interviewed' him asking what his process was, indicating that we've noticed some golf outlets pushing what's in the store on you. He was keen on watching ball flight on the range. One positive, he said they don't carry any inventory...all they have is the various club fitting setups and any clubs we would choose, would have to be ordered, so he's not pushing inventory on anyone.
