I don’t believe he’s still at Eisenhower, I’m sure I could locate him. Almost more curious about if people who have taken lessons with him would recommend him. From what I understand he’s a bit of a throwback in that he’s more feel based than overly technical.

Not sure if @OpenFace is still looking for a partner at Links at Unionvale (it’s a hike for a city boy)

I am still looking for a partner.

Anyone have recommendations for a club fitter? I’m based in Manhattan and was leaning towards True Spec based on feedback in the club fitting thread but supporting a local shop would be a bonus. Have a car so don’t mind driving within an hour or so. 16 handicap playing 13 year old hand me down Callaway irons and various filler clubs from Callaway preowned. Not looking for anything exotic

Have heard great things about Novo Golf up around Palisades worth checking out

But a few guys in the metro chat have also recently been to true spec and had great experiences

I can second Novo Golf. I also loved Pete’s Golf in Mineola, LI… it’s been many years since going there but Pete is a great guy

I went to NY Golf and wasn’t a huge fan.

Yeah, same here and I abandoned the clubs they fit me into after a season, but it was also my first time and hadn’t found this group and had no idea what to expect (this was 4 years ago) but even on reflection the experience wasn’t great

Pete’s Golf in Mineola would be your best spot. The fittings cost just north of $100 but they’re the best in the business so in my mind it’s well worth the cost. They’ll ask what your budget is and give you every option that could potentially work.

Tim McGann of metro custom golf. i think he used to be in manhattan but is now in westchester.

Another echo on Pete’s Golf in Mineola, especially if you’re looking for a local shop vibe.

I might be the lone dissenter, but I didn’t have a good experience at Petes. But I acknowledge I am in the minority here.

I went to True Spec in June. It was a phenomenal experience and didn’t feel pressured at any point.

I’ve got nothing but great things to say about Zac at Club Champion in the 5i in Flatiron.

Interesting, just curious who fit you and what you didn’t like about it?

I’ve been to true spec for 2 sets of irons, all my woods and wedges and they are bar none. Go see Tyler there and shoot me a pm if you need more info
