2nd Swing Golf — Local services in Minneapolis

I went to the 2nd Swing golf store on E Hennepin in Minneapolis because I had a gift certificate given to me as part of transitioning from a work career to retirement. I have never been to this store so I did not know what to expect nor did I know what expertise they had with their professionals. I signed up for a fitting time because I wanted to get a new set of clubs. I was paired up with TJ Halifin who is a store golf professional Expert plus plays himself a good golf game, so he knows what he is talking about. We hit balls for two hours to obtain swing patterns collecting various fact data from the golf simulator. I appreciated TJ for he did not judge my inadequacies plus retained a high patience level to figure out what direction to begin in club selection. TJ analyzed the data, my swing, ball travel ( speed / spin ) and sized me with a longer club length to start with. What I was most impressed by was the time and care TJ provided to educate me on the technology of the golf club then how to apply it with my swing / ball data. In other words applying the technology with my specific inadequacies to clean up or improve the fades hooks and pulls I sometimes have. After two hours of hitting balls we found the right club brand, club weighting, club angles and club face position. I found after his guidance in the fitting process with TJ my ball flight became more consistent in direction ( span ), distance and spin. What this means to me is more confidence in what I am doing and a path for continuous improvement when out on the course. TJ game me a couple of pointers on addressing the ball / set up to maximize the club technology designed now for me. I had a great experience and walked out with a good feel on the clubs I selected with TJ. I learned a lot, have a golf expert to go to going forward and acquired a new energy to enjoy the...

Five-Star Club Fitting Experience with Scott Johnson at 2nd Swing Golf

I recently had the pleasure of working with Scott Johnson at 2nd Swing Golf for a set of irons and putter fitting. I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment we started, it was clear that Scott brings a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for the game to every fitting session, no matter your level of play!

What truly stood out was how thoroughly he explained the reasons behind my ball flight, contact patterns, and how each club was interacting with my swing. Instead of pushing a specific brand or trying to change my natural swing to fit a certain club, Scott took the time to find equipment that complemented the way I already play. His approach was thoughtful, patient, and focused entirely on helping me improve with the swing I have—not the one someone else thinks I should have.

Scott went above and beyond by offering insightful tips on how to practice effectively with the new clubs. He helped me understand how to track my distances, recognize tendencies, and ultimately gain more confidence in my game. His recommendations weren’t just about gear—they were about growing as a player.

If you're looking for a top-notch fitting experience from someone who truly cares about helping you play your best golf, I highly recommend seeing Scott Johnson at 2nd Swing in Minneapolis. Thank you, Scott, for your time, expertise, and dedication. I'm excited to take what I’ve learned and put it to good use...

Jake was awesome. I was there for a driver/fairway fitting. We moved quickly which I liked and there was zero pressure to upgrade/upsell. Highly recommended.

UPDATE. Jake is a great fitter, this has nothing to do with him.

I received my first club with zero issues. 2nd club arrived and had the wrong weights in the driver. I thought no big deal and called 2nd swing's customer service. The first person I talked to told me I couldn't call, I had to send an email. Ok, did that. I received an email from Jake saying they had called Taylormade and they would be shipping new weights early the next week.

Fast forward to the next Wednesday, I hadn't heard anything. I called back several times, speaking to a new person each time and re-explaining the problem each time.

Thursday I asked to speak with a manager and was referred to Mike in Sales. I re-told the whole story to Mike, he said the file was on his desk and he would get back to me Thursday or Friday.. nope. I called Friday at about 3:30, told Mike was available and I was transferred to him, it went to voicemail. It is now Monday at 11:00. I still haven't heard anything.

I just ordered weights off of ebay so I can use the club. That's cheaper than driving down to return the club and re-explaining everything again.

I won't be returning to 2nd swing.

2nd update. After talking to Jake (Original Fitter), he pulled weights off an existing club and sent them to...
