As many people have inquired and you have noticed, we do not participate in the "demo" days because we found that we were having difficulty spending quality time with each person that wanted to try and purchase Titleist clubs.  What we do is schedule "Fitting Days" with courses and bring the equipment to a setting that will allow us to spend "one on one" time with a player.  We have been conducting fitting days throughout the Palm Springs area and are planning at being at Desert Willow on Feb 24th, and at The Classic Club March 9th.  You can locate these events at:  http://www.titleist.com/find-a-golf-shop/#events.  These fitting events are free and open to the public,although we ask that you make an appointment so that we can spend 20-30 minutes with you to go over what you are looking for and what heads and shafts might work best for you.  If you wanted an in-depth fitting, Paul Bucy at Desert Willow is our Advanced Fitter in the desert and has a good selection of shafts and he does have all the heads.

Lucky Mark - he must be right-handed.  When I've tried going to these demo days, I only get to stand around and watch.  They almost never have left-handed sets to try.  When I finally found a Miz demo, the JP800 demo was damaged, so I tried the MP53.  Since they also don't make the JP800 Pro or HD in left-handed sets, what I got from my 6 minutes of fame was I could strike the ball without using a maximum game improvement set.  Being the only person at the demo with another 30 minutes scheduled, I was a little put off when the demo guy was finished at that point.  Really thought I should go with the JP800.

Fortunately, the Wisconsin top Titleist fitter is close to me.  He spent over an hour working on my irons, hybrids, and fairways.  We agreed there was not enough value in replacing my hybrid, both the G20 and AP1 were an improvement over my G10 irons (wrong length/wrong lie), and I had the wrong fairway.  The 712 AP1 worked close to the G20s but felt better, so I went with the AP1s.

So, I can't imagine buying clubs from a demo, let alone a complete set.  I can't say I ever heard, for example, another rep say I should go try the Adams driver, as well.

To another question on this chain, I spent 2 years moving from 130 to bogey, so all this hardware was my holiday present/reward, not to try to fix my game.

As far as fit, my irons are 1* upright (Eye Blue Dot), my GW and SW are .5* upright, LW and XW are 1* upright. Driver is 45", 5W is 42", 7W is 41.5" and hybrids are standard. Putter is 35" and 2* upright. I had an odd thing happen between 2003-2006: I gained an inch in height at age 47 (I've been 5'11 3/4" since high school and a 2005 insurance physical had my height at 6'1"). I found out in 2006 (when I took up golf again) that the standard golf setup doesn't work. I also decided to learn how to hit a driver (I had been using a 3 wood off the tee since 1972). My current setup is driver-5W-7W, 5H-7H, 8-9 irons, and Vokey wedges (50-08, 54-11, 58-04, 62-07). I occasionally carry the 6 and 7 irons on the regulation courses (never use them on exec courses because I found I fare better with hybrids on the 135-165 yard par 3s). My winning combo for the fairway long game since 2006 has been a 7 wood and 5H/lofted wood. I've always had some form of approach hybrid (34-35* loft) in my bag since 2007; they come in handy for the rough and fairway bunkers or when you have to carry 140 yards and drop the ball on the spot.
