Testimonials
I've read a few testimonials on golf club fitters; they're all the same. "I never hit is so accurately." "My handicap dropped by 3 the minute you made my new clubs!" "I gained 20 yards of distance off the tee." "My dispersion went down by 9 yards." All that stuff is true of Zane as well but what he offers is something else-- he peers into your game and swing and somehow then knows what you need, even if you don't. It's like he's inside your head ferreting out all the little untruths you tell to people like dental hygienists ("I floss my teeth twice a day, honestly") doctors ("never more than a glass of wine with dinner") and clubfitters ("I think I probably fly my 6 iron about 215 with a 3 yard draw"). When your new clubs arrive you find yourself saying to yourself "why am I making more 15 foot putts?" and "how did I carry that bunker even though I caught that one a bit off the toe?" or "I didn't know there was a three wood that worked like that." You think back to the nearly silent fitting session, the inscrutable look, the mysterious muttering about shadowy clubhead and ball images on a computer screen, the appearance of clubs you've never heard of in your bag and then it all starts to make a bit more sense.
In my case my request for blades got rebuffed ("really, John, you're going to like these cavity backs better, trust me"), my 3-iron fell out of my bag ("you ever hit that thing anywhere other than the range?") and my resistance to Callaway drivers defeated ("I agree, Razr Hawk is a better name for a cartoon character, but these things are really low spinning and you need that") and my putter gained a big fat weight in the handle ("you're going to make more putts"). I couldn't be happier.

After sporadic lessons with a variety of pros I came in to see Lee of Golf Club Innovations. Frustrated and wondering why I was wasting my time on practice and not getting any better I needed a new approach and clear thinking.
Lee helped me to free myself of the 'paralysis by analysis' and free up my natural swing. While keeping all the fundamentals of the swing in place, Lee has helped me groove a rhythmic swing that requires little effort.
I was most impressed by the fact that Lee didn't force a rigid Swing Philosophy on me, but took into account my body type, desire to improve, ultimate goals and helped me to connect with a feel and timing swing that is my own.
I now have all my clubs built by the boys at Golf Club Innovations and that, in conjunction with my lessons, has brought my handicap south and seen my love of the game go steadily north.
Thanks boys.
