I had first visited the Modern Golf facility back in September to get fitted for a new Driver. All I can say is that if a good first impression is something that you value than Modern Golf will be your new favourite destination the second you walk in the door.
I had the privledge of being on the MG Review Panel last Sunday for the 2013 product reviews. The MG boys and I have become close as I have written some articles on their facility on my blog - The High Fade.
It was definitely one of the cooler experiences I have ever had, personally and as a huge golf nut - A Toronto Golf Nut that is!
I plan to post reviews of all the products that I hit during my time there. But I wanted to share a clip from my recent blog post on MG is truly a first class facility.
"After we were finished hitting and reviewing products for the panel I wanted to give my new toy a whirl in one MG’s state of the art simulators.
So I made a few swings with my new Cobra driver, however the TrackMan technology in the simulator wasn’t showing me the results that I was used to with the Big Stick. Rightfully so, this got me a little freaked out at this point for a couple reasons. First, I just plopped down a nice chunk of change on this custom club and I was hitting it about 30 yards shorter than my old TaylorMade Burner Surperfast. Second, I actually felt like I was hitting the club really well, which made me question this whole new purchase in general.
What happened after Ian had a look at these swings I was making, as well as the TrackMan numbers and the actual club itself, was a true testament to the quality and knowledge of the fitting and the golf swing that Ian and the MG team posses.
Generally speaking, I hit the ball pretty far. When I am swinging well I have the ability to hit the ball in the 290-300+ range with the driver. However, my first few swings with the new driver were consistently ending up between 260-270. So Ian takes my driver and sets it to open. He says to me “for whatever reason you de-loft the club at impact which consequently makes you catch the ball low on the club face.” While he is setting the club to open, he then tells me to tee the ball up slightly higher on my next swing. He then hands me the club, and my next 8 swings all went between 285 – 300 yards!
I was truly blown away at how Ian was able to analyze the data on the simulator and combine his knowledge of the swing to make me hit the ball 30 yards further pretty much instantaneously without changing my swing. For anyone who may be skeptical about the use of advanced technology in golf to gain distance, which is something everybody strives for, all you have to do is book an appointment to Modern Golf…they will take care of the rest!"
