Obviously the head matters. The point I try to convey to the average or worse than average player was that the newest and fanciest new driver wasn't going to fix their problems if it wasn't fitted properly. The shaft is what is connecting your hands to the head. The latest and greatest head won't do squat for you if you stick it on the end of an iron rod. The properly fitted and matched shaft will do far more for you than the head.

The battle was overcoming the impression that what was hitting the ball (the head) was the most important part of the equipment.

No, I agree completely, a person needs to be fitted period when ever they buy golf equipment, if they got fitted properly once they wouldn’t bother buying new clubs every year.

I did get a new driver last year, though it was a birthday gift from my fiance, got fitted by Ping for a G10 at the Golf Expo.

Should of seen the look on the other guy’s faces when they saw that I was fitted for a 7.5* driver with a ProLaunch Red X-Stiff, thing works wonders for me though.
