    Anyone else have any issues with getting fit as a lefty? I work 10 hour days, so trying to set up with a fitter during the day just for wedges seems a bit silly to me. But I went to the local golf shop to get fitted and they had no demo lefties, so fitting was off the table.

    I suppose you need to determine how much importance your wedge game has to your enjoyment of the game. If you have more than just a sand wedge, you would probably benefit from a fitting from both a grind standpoint and a distance gapping standpoint. Maybe a Titleist fitting session at a local practice range would work at lunch time? Try the 'Fitting' tab (up top of the page) and maybe find a fitter convenient to you?

    Assess your typical round. How many times do you reach for a wedge, either full shot or around the green? How much more confident would you feel if you know you have something that will work with your golf swing, to help create the distance and shot you envision?

    In my experience the local shops have little to zero left hand options to demo. You'd be better off looking for a larger golf specialty store. This isn't a Titleist-specific comment. In 20+ years I can say that finding lefty options has gotten better, which is all you can ask for really. Historically, I have called and asked fitters what their lefty selection looks like. If you're willing to drive a little further than most, and call around to find who has the best option - I recommend doing that. From drivers, to irons, to wedges, you'll want to get fit and be able to try as many options as you and the fitter deem necessary/appropriate. As for your Vokey hunt, do look around for other facilities with options for you, Vokeys are the best wedges and you certainly want to make sure you get the correct set up for you. Good luck.

    Lethbridge,

    I’m a southpaw as well. I will advise you to get to a Titleist Fitting Day. The Titleist have all the heads and shaft combinations so you will get proper info for your swing.
  5. When I was fitted into my T300 It was recommended I get the 53° wedgeset for full shots then a SM8 56F14 pretty much everything else. I happen to stroll into my local golf store and there it was, a Left SM8 60D12. A rare find but i took to it quit well and is now a very deadly tool in my arsenal.

    It was probably never reccomend I get a 60° at the time of my fitting since I was 20+ handicap. But I feel the rarity of lefty clubs especially Vokey
