It is the us fitters job to determine where that boundry lies, and fit the person to maximum distance before tail off.

While dialing a person based on launch monitor numbers are a great starting point, I ALWAYS take into account the items the LM cannot base recommendations on...such as the players territory (windy? hard or soft grounds, humidity...etc..).

or example, I will usually try to get someone in typical Texas (windy and harder grounds) slightly lower and less dramatic ball flight than , say a person in humid FL.

But then again, since heat and humidity cause a ball to fly higher, that TOO needs to be taken into consideration, because a high flight in Springtime, could be potentially too high in Summer.

Based on what I saw with your swing, you have an excellent, smooth transition and tremendous wrist lag on your best shots.

Plus...and most importantly, you are comfortable with your set up....

Sure, I could put you in a combo that should be better.....but while I can measure swing speed, loft, trajectory, spin...etc......I cannot measure confidence.

Stay with what ya got...andif things go south, call. me....but not till then.
This is good advice. I wish you lived in VT so you could fit me
