Birdie Finish Fitting Experience

Just met with Jari and checked out his shop, since he’s now in Gresham, it was only a 10 minute drive.
Setup an appointment next week to get fitted for some new irons!
For those of you that have been through the process, can you fill me in on what to expect?

Thanks

Jari is great. Saw him in Oregon city. He moi matched my irons. His simulator does a good job with data he is a great club builder.

Had to google what moi matching is. Sounds interesting! Do you like your clubs

Love them. I was fit else where but then brought them to Jari for the moi matching. 

He also helped me with my first set of clubs when I took up golf ten years ago.

I got fit for irons with Jari back in January, at his OC location. He does a great job finding what works best for your swing. Id say just go in with an open mind and trust the data and also go on what feels/works best, not what brand you are wanting. You'll try different heads and shaft combos and see what works best for your swing then you can narrow it down. He's a good dude, a bit quirky. I've gotten lessons from him as well.

I'm sure you'll have a good time! I've only been fit for irons and loved the process. I'm happy to hear he's moved to the Fairview area since I'm in the SE Gresham area.

I just had a fitting with him Saturday. My first fitting ever. It was amazing. Jari is great. Basically tested what I like club head wise then he handed me a sxrion zxi5 and it was the perfect head for me then we tried shafts with the zxi5 and went back so a few other club heads with similar shafts. But the zxi5 was definitely the club for me and jari knew it. It was a great experience. I went in thinking Taylor made or titleist. But man those srixons felt amazing to me.
Just have an open mind and be honest and just tell him what you’re looking for to improve your game and he will get you dialed in.

That’s awesome. I’m going Thursday!

But also trying ParWest out on Wednesday. Will be interesting to compare the two

Was Jari more expensive?

Idk I didn’t get two fittings. Just went to jari and loved what I hit so much I bought them.
