Rick's Golf World — Local services in City of Olean

About a month ago, I called in with questions regarding struggles with my driver... Mainly issues with the shaft not fitting my golf swing. Pete set up an appointment with me that day. I was very unaware I was going to stumble into a golf nut's dream. Top notch launch monitor, clubs and accessories for eveyone. Pete had me hit numerous shots with my driver and several others he had in stock along with mixing and matching different shafts. After hitting, he broke down everything club by club and compared numbers trying to get my spin rate and launch angle to where it should be. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything well. In the end, I was nearly set on purchasing a new driver however he told me it wasn't necessary and I just needed a heavier and stiffer shaft for my swing. While he didn't have one in stock, understandable given today's circumstances, he was able to find me a used shaft in his stock room that was better but not perfect for me. However, he did give me plenty of information on what to look for. I ordered my new shaft and received it last week and my driver play is VERY encouraging. I get the most out of my swing and I am now able to influence the shot shape on my drives. I will never step foot into a big box golf...

Live in Pittsburgh, PA..the hub of Golf Galaxy/Dicks Sporting Goods. Was referred to Pete from a friend who shaved 5 strokes after his fitting (irons). Hit 5 different combos. Went back to Golf Galaxy (paid $55) where they told me I was hitting the newest and best irons 5 yards further than the set Pete recommended. Took the same report to Pete, where he explained those irons were stock and not at all suited for my tempo and swing speed. Sent me out the door for $300 less than the commercial guys and I'm more confident than ever at approach. Don't trust the big guys people..Pete shoots it straight, and...

I’ve been coming to see Pete at Rick’s Golf World for the last couple years for just about all of my golf needs. He’s regripped just about every club in my bag. Just recently he fitted me for a driver shaft after my original shaft snapped (not as a result of a frustrated golfer!) Pete could instantaneously identify the specs that would help my game and gave me a few pointers in the process! I highly recommend going to Pete for your golfing needs. He’ll take the time to work with you and set you up...
