The demo day is meant to supplement the golf shop. If its done right then they should get you fit at no extra charge. Demo days are meant to push product, not get more money off of you. Just do yourself a favor and get fit at an outdoor one where you can hit off of grass and see your actual ball flight.
My local club is having a Taylor Made demo day tomorrow, might go down and hit a few drivers but irons I will have to wait til summer, I absolutely hate hitting off mats.
My ball striking right now is actually pretty good considering how much I have been able to play the past year. I hit my most of my irons clean except for 3-5 I am struggling with a hook at the moment. The biggest thing right now that is holding my game back is distance, mainly off the tee so I will be getting a new driver soon. Been playing with a old Callaway Steelhead driver and can put it out there about 230-240 but that still leaves me with longer shots than I would like on a majority of the courses I play. I have yet to hit the combos but I will definitely try them out.
measure half inch increments on your grip, mark it, and then choke down every half inch and see what works best for you. if choking down an inch improves your ball striking, and that's 44inches, chop it down to there and etc. it's not the most precise way, but it will more than suffice
I've been playing alot the last couple days, and have been choking down on my driver, probably an inch, inch and a half, and the ball striking has been much better. (Although I am losing a little distance, but the accuracy is much better so I don't mind the trade off)
your question is a VERY valid question and there are several answers to it.
the adams a7 is a great hybrid. i used to play them. i've demoed the taylormade white series rescue clubs. again very good hybrids as well. i hear good things about the mashie, but taht thing just looks way too bulbous for me so i havent hit it. i've actually switched to the nike vr pro hybrid series. it looks tiny (which i love), but plays very forgiving and has a nice feel to it. many hybrids i feel confuse people because its too big for an iron so you don't want to swing it like an iron; so you swing it like a wood. but its too skinny for a wood, so you try to swing it like an iron. as a result, it just looks too weird to swing like an iron because at least for me, i couldnt imagine trying to make a divot with a hybrid (fyi, hybrids should be hit like you hit an iron, you hit down on them, you don't sweep the hybrid). the vr pro is small enough that you can make the iron swing on it and take a solid divot. but for whatever reason the center of gravity of this is so deep and far back, it's still forgiving enough as the hybrid. don't be intimidated by the small looks, nike came to play with the vr pro hybrid.
Thanks for breaking it down man, appreciate it. I don't mind the way my grip feels, and directionally everything is fine, so it looks like I'll just keep it AK style and choke down on the driver for now.
