I've had a couple lessons with an instructor who also happens to be a fitter. He has suggested i change my irons. That is, get new irons that are a semi CB with little offset with a different length, lie, shaft
So the local range where he works holds a demo night for a couple brands, and he invites me along to try them out... i thought i may as well try some clubs i havent tried before.. i like the mizuno range and i ended up quite liking the feel of the mp-60s
the mp-60s fits the bill as far as what he suggests i use.. even though i liked them, the price for these new is pretty steep.. so i tell him i'd prefer to shop around and get a deal i can more afford and even possibly get a second hand set at a fraction of their asking price (even after fitting)
Because that coach has a vested interest in me getting these clubs from the mizuno rep (he gets a cut).. he was pushing me toward buying the new set.. he went so far as to ask me what wedges i use and to even switch those to MP-R's. He didnt provide any reason as to why i should switch to the MP-Rs from my CG10's other then me getting a matching set!
The whole sales angle hasnt sat well with me and has left me wondering whether i continue with this coach
anyone come across this situation?
