Reviews of 2nd Swing Golf
Safiya Parker
A family friend gave me some old clubs they never used so I initially came to see if there was any trade in value. Once we walked in I wanted to browse their women's collection. Adam helped us that day. Although their women's collection is small there were some good options. Had a chance to test them in the simulation. I did end up purchasing based on the 30 day guarantee but afterward knew this club would be a game changer. I have an upcoming tournament that I'll be using my new driver on so I'm real excited.

Just got full bag fitting for used clubs last week by David Ko. He was very patient and informative on our fitting. Their facility was world class. All the staff were courteous. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend place 👌 …

I have been a customer at second swing for the last two years and they seriously have some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Several months ago I was fit for a set of irons that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the ferrules kept coming unattached. The amazing people at second swing tried two separate times to try to fix the issue, free of charge, but it persisted. They eventually told me that they would happily swap out those irons with a new set that they would specially fit me for, even though the clubs were past the 1 month window. James did an excellent job with the new fitting and even gave me a discount on the new clubs to make sure they fit in my budget. Meg at the front desk was also a pleasure to work with. They really do whatever it takes to make sure the customer leaves happy with their purchase and I love it. They really earned my business and I can never see myself going elsewhere for golf equipment.

First time visiting the store and was greeted with a beautiful smile by Ms Meg. She was awesome and walked me through purchasing some gloves since owning a pair and playing about 20 years ago. Super excited to begin playing golf again and as a result of her hospitality, I am bringing my mom back so that she can get fitted for gloves and clubs too!!! Visit the store and start your new year 2023 with playing golf- a lifetime sport
Mary Kate Fries-Hershfeld
We had a spectacular experience at the store. Because of Doug. He spent time listening to my son and listening to what he needed and what he liked. Evaluating/discussing results… Thank you very much for your assistance and we will be back… I have two other golfers in the family…
Julien N. Singh
What an amazing experience! David was our master fitter and was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made our experience well worth the hour drive. I highly recommend David if you need a fitting.
MICHAEL WILLEY
Scheduled a driver fitting for the first time in my life. David Ko was very professional and informative about the fitting process. He was able to add club speed, ball speed, height to my swing and additional 30 yards to my carry and total distance. He definitely found the proper driver for me and was well under my budget. I would recommend him to anyone no matter what level of a golfer you are. I purchased his recommended driver and will schedule a fitting for a full bag in the future.
Ryan Kelly
I recently decided to start playing golf again, so it was time to upgrade my 20 year old irons. The whole experience at 2nd Swing was fantastic. The facilities are great and the staff was so helpful.
I had an iron fitting with Kevin Kraft and he was terrific. Very knowledgeable about all of the brands and his insights were spot-on. I will definitely be back for a hybrid and driver fitting.
Glenn Hilley
I enjoyed my iron fitting with David. It's obvious he has extensive knowledge and experience. I already had a couple iron models picked out before I arrived. We tried each of those with different shaft options and he also suggested another model once he saw my swing and Trackman stats. I ended up selecting Ping i525s. These were the clubs he suggested. The look and feel of the irons were exactly what I was looking for and the performance was superior to the other options I tried. I'm looking forward to getting the clubs and trying them out on the course.
Ricky Cantore
Fantastic experience. Shout out to Kyle for his knowledge of the game and willingness to help me out. I was actually thinking I needed to buy an additional wedge but he gave me a great explanation of why I didn’t need it. Very rare for somebody to be that honest. Ended up buying two great wedges and a three hybrid that I’m very happy with. Great value, they gave me a great number on the irons I turned in, and the store was in great shape. Overall a fantastic experience.
Diane Thomas
I gave my husband two clubs of his choice for this birthday, and today he worked with David Ko to find a new driver. David was fabulous. He was friendly, easy to work with, and patiently explained what my husband was trying out and why he was selecting each component for him. He recommended a thicker grip to help counter the arthritis in his hands. His final recommendation came way under budget! And, my husband got several valuable golf swing tips to help improve his game. The fitters don't work on commission, so it's a no pressure situation. We only had time for one club today (1 hour), and David made more suggestions before we come back for the second club. Couldn't be happier!!
Nick Rados
I recently went in for a new Iron set Tour Van fitting with David Ko and it was a great experience. He gave me awesome feedback and tips for improving my swing. We experimented with 4 different model irons and a few different shafts. I would definitely recommend David to anyone wanting to get fitted.

I’m not a reviewer of anything but felt i should take the time to give a review about my fitting with Kevin Kraft so others could have a great experience as I did.
I’ve been fitted before elsewhere but working with Kevin at 2nd Swing was the best so far. Before we started he really took the time to inquire about my game, likes, dislikes and goals for my game. Although I ended up in the same brand I have now I tried other brands that provided more distance, 20 yards or more but Kevin expressed his likes and dislikes of those results knowing what I wanted from my game. Happy to say I went with the new Ping G430’s
Right after my iron fitting I was looking at a new driver. Kevin pointed me to a few options but warming up with my driver I just couldn’t hit an average shot. Kevin gave me a couple to try but I just wasn’t hitting anything so he stopped me saying that I should consider coming back in a month or so to do my driver fitting. We all know that many other fitters would have had me keep going trying to sell me something that wasn’t the right fit. So thanks for being honest and making it a great experience.
Tj Hertzler
Had a putter fitting with Phil, and it was the best experience. Phil got some base numbers from my current gamer, and listened to my opinions on looks and was able to recommend a couple models, not just fitting my stroke, but my personal tastes. It took the full half hour but it was worth it. Me being stubborn, I wanted what I wanted even if the data said the other putter was slightly better, but Phil took that into account and helped me make very slight changes to my stroke to accommodate what I had my heart set on. Although it's a 1h45m drive from my house, the selection and more importantly the personal attention put into my fitting was incredible.
Justin Welsh
As a golfer just starting out, David was very helpful. While getting fitted for a driver he picked out an affordable driver that I really like as well as giving me some pointers for my swing along the way. He was very friendly and nice and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to buy a new club or set of clubs.
Mike Calloway
Mitch was phenomenal and provided great service and information. When I first came in I was looking at drivers and Mitch explained the differences between each. I then looked at putters and he came over and helped me. I left without a purchase. Then came back a couple days later and Mitch recognized me and greeted me. Walked me through the putter finalist I had. I am happy with my putter purchase. Great place.
Trevor Swain
Had an iron/wedge fitting on 7/31 with Kevin Kraft. This was my first club fitting and Kevin was great with explaining all the aspects of the fitting process with me and made me feel comfortable with everything. I was not pressured or pushed towards buying anything other than what worked best for my game. The entire process was incredibly enjoyable and I would highly recommend 2nd Swing to anyone thinking about getting fit for new clubs. Will definitely be returning!
Bruce Neiswender
In over 30 years of playing golf, I never had my clubs fitted till today. Coach Blaine was exceptional, he quickly figured out the challenges in my current equipment and zeroed in on the best technology for my game. I can't wait to try out my "new" clubs!
I highly recommend 2nd Swing to anybody looking to up their game.
Tyler Clark
I've been golfing for a little over a year now and finally decided it was time to upgrade the (not terrible but) hand me down set I had been learning on. Matt helped hooked me up with a great driver and 5 hybrid to go with a nice set of irons I picked out and was very helpful in showing me how my swing was and using it to find me some great clubs. Still up and learning (it's golf of course) but I appreciate all the help in getting me some new clubs!
James Billings-Kang
I recently had a fitting done by David Ko, and he was exceptional. Not only was he informative and insightful—by showing me an array of club heads, shafts (with varying weights), and grips, while also educating me on concepts like lie angle—he was also incredibly patient. In fact, when I first arrived, I didn't have my best game (who does with this sport?), and David immediately recognized it. Atypical of a salesman, he didn't want to force anything on me if I wasn't comfortable, so he encouraged me to have a follow-up session. Kudos to him for that and many kudos for sharing a number of gems to help my swing and ball striking. Needless to say, I highly recommend David!
Clinton Svoboda
Second swing has every club under the sun. The fitters are super nice and knowledgeable. Used clubs for days and all kind of bays to hit balls. 5 star service!!
Dane Sutherland
Awesome club fitting experience- irons and wedges. Worked with Kevin Kraft. He was very thorough and great to work with. Won't hesitate to recommend him to friends.
The trade-in process was great too- quick, and easy. Trade-in values are fair.
Overall a great experience. Everyone was friendly and very helpful.
Tom Klaus
Had a great experience at 2nd Swing yesterday. Kevin Kraft fitted me for a set of Ping irons and a Ping hybrid. I've never invested in a fitting before. It exceeded all expectations and Kevin was great to work with. His sense of humor, his ability to engage and connect, and his expertise made the 90 minutes fly by and when I left with my order in hand, I felt it was time and money well spent. Thank Kevin!
Logan Churchwell
I’ve had two fittings with David Ko, one for a 5 wood and decided to go back to get fitted for a driver. David was awesome and explained what numbers were we looking for with each club. I assumed going in with a budget, a fitter would try to fit for me clubs at the top end of my budget. David was the complete opposite, I gave him my budget and then didn’t think about the price of any club while I was swinging. After having a clear driver winner, I was astonished to see the driver was 150 dollars less than the top end of my budget. David puts you in the club right for you and you can tell he is just a genuine person that cares about the job he does. I can’t recommend David and second swing enough!
Samuel Kassa
I had a great experience working with David Ko at the Columbia location. I felt like he really put in the time to find the right clubs for me and my swing, and even gave me a few swing correction tips to practice as I use my new set of clubs going forward. Doing the fitting session is well worth it. I’ll definitely go back.
Tom Witt
I feel compelled to write a review regarding my experience at 2nd Swing. I purchased a custom set of clubs from them and once received, really struggled to find my groove with the clubs. Their 30 day playability guarantee is a thing - it's not just a marketing tool. I made another fitting appointment with Kevin Kraft and applied the credit from my first purchase towards the new clubs. Easy as that - no questions asked. Speaking of Kevin, the guy was phenomenal. Patient, a great listener, and super knowledgeable. It's hard to find great retail experiences anymore. 2nd Swing nailed it. Kudos for being dedicated to the customer experience.
Nate Hess
Huge selection of clubs and a very knowledgeable staff. Mike helped me pick out a driver and was really good at offering suggestions around my budget. We tried a bunch of clubs in the simulator, and Mike worked with what he was seeing in my swing and continued to make great suggestions. 100%, will be going back for everything I need in the future.
Devin Chapman
Was looking to get fitted for new irons and had a great experience working with David Ko. He was very informative, worked within my budget and got me dialed to an iron that fits my specific swing. I will definitely be back to get fit for a driver in a few months. Definitely recommend working with David
Chris Hafner
David was a fantastic fitter. He was energetic, knowledgeable, and answered all of the questions I asked throughout our session. He explained everything that he was doing, the differences between clubs and shafts, and made some great suggestions. In addition to David, the setup at 2nd Swing is so great, they have all the necessary technology to make the fitting as thorough as possible. Couldn't be happier with my experience!
John Burkley
My fitting experience with David Ko at 2nd Swing in Columbia, MD was great. David is very knowledgeable and he is easy and fun to work with. My fitting was for a full iron set and we tested a number of different club heads and shafts. I’m someone who likes to take my time and consider all my options when making a big purchase so I wish I had a little more time in the fitting. During the fitting it was helpful to see all the numbers of my swing (attack angle, swing speed, club path, etc.). I highly recommend getting fitted by David at second swing.
Chelsey Kutchman
Great driver fitting experience today at 2nd Swing. Highly recommend David Ko! I was a little nervous before I got to my appointment, but David was so personable and professional I was immediately comfortable after meeting him. The process turned out to be a lot of fun. I got to try what I wanted, he asked questions and was a great listener. He made adjustments to the clubs I was trying find the right specifications for me and my swing. With my new club and a few minor tweaks to my setup, by the end of the hour he got me an extra 50 yards on my drive! WAY exceeded my expectations! Thank you, David! I will definitely be back!
Ryan Reinhardt
Had a wonderful experience getting fitted for my clubs today with David Ko who I cannot recommend enough! David was so knowledgeable and took the time to break down what went wrong with every shot, why it happened both in my swing and in the club set up. There was absolutely no pressure to upgrade to a different or more expensive set up clubs which was really important to me. Not only do I now know what set up works best for my swing in the future but I understand why!
Also, the trackman data getting sent to my email along with video for each swing is a major plus!
Jim Spurrier
I have had 2 Fantastic Experiences with Kevin Kraft.
3 Years ago I got fitted for Irons, that I absolutely Love, and recently set up a fitting for a new Driver. Kevin not only got me Perfect Driver, but he went through my bag and recommended a different 3 Wood that is so much easier to hit.
Very Happy!!
Tyson Um
David Ko was extremely professional and knowledgeable about my dads individual needs. He spent over an hour helping him find the right clubs and even helped with tips to fix his swing. My dad saw improvements immediately. Highly recommend to anyone getting fitted for their clubs, whether you’re brand new or experienced.
Ted Chen
Top notch facility and fitter, and I love how they treat customers. Kevin Kraft was super friendly and knowledgable throughout the fitting, and gave me swing tips that would help my game with new clubs. The entire customer journey experience was simply outstanding right from online scheduling, walking the store, setting up for warm up, fitting session to check-out. It's truly a pleasant experience and will definitely come back for more.
Mike Zapalowicz
I went into 2nd Swing for a fitting with David Ko and it was an amazing experience. I am not the best golfer in the world but needed a new set that actually fit me. David took the time and understood what I was looking for and understood the budget I was on. He did not pressure me into anything I wasn't looking for or could not afford. He even took some time towards the end of the session and gave me a few pointers on my swing and how to hit my driver better. Amazing experience and amazing facility and staff!
Steven James
I had a custom iron fitting with Kevin early September and couldn't be happier with my new clubs. Kevin was great to work with, was extremely knowledgeable, and spent the time to really help me find the right clubs for me. I would highly recommend both Kevin and 2nd Swing for you golf needs!
Kevin Marven
I highly recommend Charlie Murphy add the shop location in Maryland. He takes club fitting seriously and ask appropriate questions to dial in his recommendations. I really like that although an in person fitting is always ideal, Charlie also helped based on a recent fitting I did to guide me in the right direction on some other shafts that may benefit my game as well. Definitely ask for Charlie you won't be disappointed in his professionalism or equipment knowledge. Kevin
Stuart Goldberg
I am a bad golfer. I want to be a better one (albeit no pro tour card on the horizon). Regardless of my self-embarrassment, penchant to miss the ball entirely, and lack of in-depth knowledge of the sport, a couple weeks ago I appeared at 2nd Swing - Columbia, Maryland for a fitting with Kevin Kraft. Mr. Kraft's patience, understanding, and ability to make me feel like I was making the right decisions at appropriate recommendations was second to none. It did not hurt that the prices were extremely competitive as well! Would recommend the fitting process to all levels, lots of fun and cannot wait to obtain my bag.
Tyler Riley
Today was my first time to 2nd swing golf store. I didn't make it through the door and was greeted by two guys asking if I needed help. Steve was one of the guys. He helped me pick out some clubs. Steve was extremely helpful and did not push me to purchase anything. Gave me a lot of pointers to help my golf swing. I will definitely be going back for my future golf needs.
pete smith
I’ve had two previous driver fittings this year from non-2nd Swing fitters. Still had issues. Today I made an appointment and got Coach Blaine. Was skeptical for another fitting but drove 2 hours to give a last try. Coach Blaine listened to what I wanted and fine tuned a driver that I am extremely happy with. I will go back to 2nd Swing and Coach Blaine for further purchases for golf clubs. Highly recommend!
Charlie Wiser
I had a fantastic fitting experience with David Ko! He was very diligent and patient as he analyzed my swing, shared insights from the instruments/sensors, and examined how I hit different clubs. I definitely recommend 2nd Swing (and David) for those looking to purchase golf clubs at a fair price point. I'll be back!
Karter Seamonson
First, I don’t ever leave google reviews. The only other time I remember giving a review was when Howard County General Hospital misdiagnosed me with diabetes a few years ago. But that’s another story for another day. Anyways, Matt at 2nd swing hooked me up. I had just broke the shaft on my driver and came in to hit various shafts to see what felt good. Matt had me hit some clubs, talked me through the numbers, and made some tweaks to find the shaft that worked best. No misdiagnosing here. They were even able to salvage the new grip I had just put on my broken shaft. I was very pleased with my visit and would have surely spent much more had I gone elsewhere. So, cheers! Cheers to extra stiff shafts and misdiagnosed diabetes.
Roger Moore
David was fantastic. He not only fit me for a Driver he also gave me tips to improve my swing. The technology was amazing and David was very helpful. I will definitely return for future club purchases.
Craig Schuster
Went in to get fit for a new driver shaft. Coach Blaine was awesome! We first hit my current driver set up and then hit multiple different shafts but ultimately told me what I had was the best fit, made a slight adjustment for a better ball flight and did not push anything on me. Great experience and will be back for sure.
Patrick Lund
Today, I had a phenomenal experience getting fitted at 2nd Swing. My coach was Blaine Seitz….he could not have been more helpful and made a difference immediately with my attitude, stance and follow through. Blaine took his time and I never felt rushed. In addition to Blaine, the entire staff at Columbia was wonderful. The staff was kind, engaging and hard working. Best to all and I will be coming back!
Eric Dolezar
Hadn’t ever had a set of clubs fitted so I wanted to give 2nd swing a chance. I was fitted by David Ko and the experience was very enjoyable. I really enjoy my new clubs. Also a couple weeks later I went in and was fitted for a hybrid. Very good staff, they take good care of the customers.
Jessica Kelvin
David Ko was excellent. I was apprehensive about a club fitting (my first) as a very intermittent golfer with a very flawed golf swing. David was approachable and clear about the process, and helped me to find fantastic new irons that clearly improved my golf. It’s not just about finding a good match with clubs, but also bending the clubs with small lie angle changes to optimize even my bad swing. Awesome. Will be back for driver fitting!
Shanks HD
Had a fitting with David Ko and it was a great experience. He knew the answer to any question I would have and was very accommodating to the different preferences I had in designs/weights etc… I have had a few fittings in the past and I will 100% be booking with David in the future if I have the opportunity. Would absolutely recommend anybody who is new or experienced in golf fitting to go to the Columbia store.
John Rock
David Ko was a true professional. This was my first fitting ever. I came in with clubs I had been using for years that were severely under sized for my body. He was patient, friendly, and offered guidance throughout my fitting session. By the end of the session I walked out with a driver, putter, and set of irons that were the correct length and feel and he was way under the budget I told him I had.
I highly recommend using David for fittings and will absolutely use him for my next one.
Alan Esenstad
I made my first visit ever to 2nd Swing Golf earlier this week to look at putters. My sales associate, Mitch, was very helpful. We started by attaching a phone to my current putter and getting some baseline putting statistics for my stroke. From there, Mitch recommended a few different putters for me to evaluate. Mitch seemed to take his time with me and was very low key about a purchase decision. I ended up buying a used putter and trading in my current putter. I think I paid a fair price for the used putter and also received a fair price for my trade-in. I have 30 days to try out the purchased putter and can receive store credit if I want to return it. I would definitely return to 2nd Swing Golf in the future (although it's 25 miles from my house).
Scott Hale
Doug worked patiently through several clubs, weights and shafts combos to dial in the best club for my swing. Explained the most important data points, a few key swing adjustments and didn't high pressure any of the process. Two thumbs up.
Tyler Spurlock
Had a great fitting experience with David at 2nd Swing! After hours of research before coming, I thought I knew one of two drivers would work for me. David fitted me with a driver that wasn’t even on my radar with amazing results! Will be going back for a full iron fitting next. Definitely recommend!
Rob Howes
After two separate fittings, its been nothing but a great experience for my club fittings. First came in 6 weeks ago having not played a round in 10 years and Blaine(Columbia) has been excellent. He's matched me up with a great set of used/new Driver, Woods, Hybrids, and Irons well under the budget number I gave him.
PM Four
I recently had an iron fitting at 2nd Swing in Columbia, Md. My fitter was David Ko. David was awesome!!!! He asked great questions to get a feel for my goals. He was very encouraging and made the fitting process stress free. He showed great patience and worked diligently on a variety of combinations to find my correct optimization. I would highly recommend David to anyone in need of a fitting… I will be back for a wedge fitting at some point with him.
Jeffrey Gersh
My experience with David Ko (2ndswing - Columbia) was outstanding. After conducting research online, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and decided to make an appointment. I was fitted for a new driver and 3 wood and David was meticulous in properly fitting me - going through more than a dozen combinations of driver heads, lofts and shafts. He recognized when it was time for a water break so that any outliers did not factor into his recommendations.
At no point did I feel pressured to make a purchase. I have already recommended him to my golfing group and would highly recommend David to anyone that is in the market for new clubs!
W. Parker Minturn
Went in as a first time customer for a driver fitting and walked out as a guaranteed repeat customer! Worked for an hour with their fitter, James Park, and only have great things to say about my experience. He offered insight about the technology of each club and how each would affect my swing. He even offered some swing tips! Very happy with the deal I received on my purchase and am looking forward to my next trip!
Thomas Spoehr
Went to 2nd Swing Golf yesterday and was fitted by David Ko. I was blown away by his knowledge and assistance. I needed new irons and a driver and David patiently went through the options. I am sore: I hit over 40 drives and 60 iron shots! David gave me pointers too to fix my stance and swing. David helped me stay under my budget and I am completely happy with my clubs! Highly recommend.
Delbert Terrell
Visited 2nd Swing Columbia, MD - great service Mitch, took the time to answer my questions and was extremely patient, recommend I get a club fitting. I received a club fitting from Blaine Seitz, very knowledgeable and max me out according to my swing. Both did not push me to buy a club, was very easy to make a decision after I saw the numbers. Great job and very professional. Thank you
nathan renner
Very enjoyable experience. My fitter was Doug McIlvain and he was a pleasure to deal with. He listened to my needs and budget and was very knowledgeable about the swing numbers. Will most definitely be back soon. I couldn’t be more pleased with my “new” Callaway Apex irons. I’m really starting to swing and hit with confidence now.
Dan Carney
Best experience I’ve had at any store ever. Stephen Fitzgerald got me fitted for a new set of irons and helped me out with my swing. Highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Stephen for any of you golf needs!
Carter McKaig
I just got my first set of clubs with David Ko and I couldn't have been happier with my experience. David was super helpful with getting me fitted and even gave me some pointers. Will definitely be coming back when I need new clubs.
Vincent Torres
I got fitted for a new set of irons at 2nd Swing Golf in Columbia, Md in early October. Dave Ko was my fitter and he was very thorough and professional. I ended up ordering the Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metals. They arrived within 2 weeks and after playing with my new toys I am absolutely loving them. They feel great and really fit me and my swing very well. Dave Ko was great to work with. I enthusiastically recommend 2nd Swing Golf and especially Dave Ko.
Ray Simmons
Awesome experience working with Blaine Seitz on a fairway wood fitting. Relaxed atmosphere while focused on getting the right results! Will definitely be back in the future and recommend this process to anyone looking to improve their golf game.
Ralph Danforth
I have come in twice in the last couple months for fittings and both times it was exceptional service. Anthony helped me upgrade my irons and Blaine helped with my driver. I will definitely be coming back to fill out the rest of my bag.
Maui Soft Wash Central PA
Haven't had great experiences with fittings around my area. Decided to try 2nd swing in Columbia MD and see if things would be different. Booked an appt online with David Ko. Finally a fitting with someone unbiased on brand but only concern was to put me in a driver that was best for MY game. We did the narrow down process then worked through shaft options and to my suprise a stock shaft option was best for my swing. We tried the upgrades but did not get the same results as the stock tensei blue 55g regular. Swing speeds leaned toward stiff shaft but that's why they have fittings I guess! 2 weeks later my tsr2 driver built to the specs David came up with showed up to my door. Went out back and cracked a few yard balls out in the field and BOOM! Bullet straight and farthest yet. I couldn't be happier with my experience at 2nd swing and can't wait to see what David Ko can come up with for my iron fitting. Huge thumbs up to that entire facility and staff who were friendly during my entire visit.
Joan Albert Most
The service is amazing. Doug fitted me for a new putter using data to find the perfect one! Also, Matt helped figure out that shortening my clubs by a half inch would make the most sense. Maybe Second Swing would consider a store in the Delray Beach/Boca area of Florida!
Alex Berberian
made the 30 min drive to 2nd swing because I didn't want to pay the new club prices these days. I'm glad I did. I had a great experience. I had a driver fitting with David. And he took great care and time with me. He knew why my old driver wasn't performing (too heavy of a shaft) and then had me try 5 drivers he thought would be best for me and then tweaked that driver to the settings he thought best for me. The results were immediate without any changes to my swing (a fitting is not a swing lesson, but to find clubs that work best with your swing). I gained approximately 30 to 40 yards just by having a newer driver (mine was 10 years old), and a proper shaft (stiff flex vs old school steel). The better balanced club allowed me to get better ball speed and more distance. I was able to get an affordable driver that improved my distance with a professional fitting. Because I purchased a used driver from 2nd swing, I didn't pay the $100 fitting fee, which I thought was great value.
From David to the rest of the staff there, everyone was friendly and helpful and if you just wanted to look around, they were happy to point you in the right direction without any pressure to buy anything. For lefties, they have a huge selection of used lefty clubs which I thought was great because you rarely see that in other shops.
If you're wondering if the $100 for the 1 hour fitting is worth it... stop thinking about it and do it. I hate overpaying for anything golf as I'm just a duffer that plays once or twice a month, but I want equipment that will help me play the best I can while I'm on the course and your equipment could quite possibly be wrong for you. Before I went to 2nd swing, I consistently hit my driver 200 yards in the middle of the fairway, but I felt like I should be getting more distance with how solidly I was making contact and how straight I was hitting it... and the data showed that my lack of distance off the tee was indeed due to poor equipment. A 1 hour session and a reasonably priced driver later and I can now get another 30 to 40 yards on my driver. And even though that doesn't sound like much, on the course it makes a huge difference with your 2nd shot. That extra yardage can put the green in play when it wasn't before. Even if this just nets me 5 strokes per round, the $100 fitting is well worth it. And David didn't pressure me to buy the club he recommended. He simply asked me my budget and goal for the day and he stayed in my budget and got me the best value for my dollar in my opinion. I don't think I can ask for more than that.
I know this is long winded, but go online to 2nd swing and treat yourself to a fitting. Worst case you're out $100 and they tell you your swing is perfect and you're using the right equipment. That's not a bad "worst case scenario" in my opinion and if you're a duffer like me, and some inexpensive equipment changes can make the few rounds per year you play more enjoyable, then why not?

David Ko & company at the 2nd Swing Columbia location provided exceptional customer service during my iron set fitting. I highly recommend using their service.
The process was very collaborative and geared towards discovering and customizing an iron set which worked best with my swing style and tendencies.
David is an expert on the Trackman swing analysis tech. He was able to clearly show how the data on-screen related to my ball flight path and provided a custom set of irons that allowed me to hit the ball further and straighter.
Michael Kellar
Went to 2nd swing for an iron fitting. Stephen was exceptional! Provided me with plenty of options based on the price range I gave him. Full of knowledge and even gave me several tips to help improve my swing and ball striking. I will definitely be going back to 2nd swing for future club needs and a coaching session or two with Stephen!
Diane Reedy
Personalized attention and service. Very knowledgeable fitter. No pressure to buy clubs. Fitter recommended purchasing swing aids and to reconsider new shafts and heads in February after new manufacturers' products become available.
Nick De Christopher
My brother and I stopped by this location on our road trip. I was looking for a putter and instantly got approached by Kameron asking if I needed help. He gave me a very detailed and enjoyable putter fitting. He made sure to keep my price range in mind too. I walked out of there with a putter I feel comfortable with at a very reasonable price. Kameron also helped my brother find a driver and even giving him tips that significantly helped his swing on the simulator. We would recommend this location and a fitting with Kameron.
Chris Slivka
Driver fitting experience with David Ko was fantastic! We spent an hour going over my swing, what I was looking for and trying different driver setups. We ultimately found the perfect fit and I am looking forward to using my new driver over the upcoming years!
John Rowe
Kevin Kraft (Fitting Manager) was very knowledgeable, professional and overall great to work with. The experience was great all the way around! Super happy with the fitting session and would recommend 2nd Swing and Kevin to all.
Dethbylt Guy
This was my first visit to 2nd Swing, but it will not be the last. I signed up for an iron fitting online at the Columbia MD store. I was greeted at the front door by the associate that was fitting me, Stephen Fitzgerald. He had his hands full with not only helping find a new set of irons, but also helping me unlearn 30 years of bad swing habits. Regardless, Stephen hit a home run by helping me realize my swing was more like a baseball swing (see what I did there?). He took me through a series of iron models, all the while giving me gentle reminders on how I was swinging. I ended up with a 6-P set of Calloway Mavrik and I hit them 10-15 yards longer than my old irons. Overall, an awesome experience and Stephen deserves a raise! I will be back!
Buck Buchanan
I spent an hour with David Ko at 2nd Swing Golf this afternoon and it was a real pleasure working with someone who was very knowledgeable in fitting and helping correct my iron play. David has a very pleasing personality and was very easy to work with, and provided numerous club lengths and weights to find the best fit for me. Definitely a 5 star operation, Buck
Jer Ham
Wow... This place is the pinnacle of customer service. Shout-out to my guys Mitch and Jackson for making this a terrific experience.
My son became interested in golf... A sport I know nearly nothing about. I went inside and ran into Mitch and Jackson, who both did a phenomenal job steering us in a direction that made the sport affordable for a couple of rookies.
They are excellent salesmen and know the sport. We will be repeat customers.
Elliot Tommingo
Excellent experience. David was extremely helpful with multiple brands, shaft flex and material options and explaining exact what each metric the simulator was showing for my swing. Highly recommend.
Tim Cottrill
Had a great experience at 2nd Swing Columbia with David Ko. There was no pressure towards specific brands and or feeling like you were being sold.
He had me try a number of different clubs and setups and I will say what I left with, I would have never chosen on my own, but the proof is in the results.
Nate Snyder
Just left second swing for the 2nd time. My fiancé got fitted for a set of clubs there that she loves. I walked into today and Mitch was invaluable in helping find my new putter. Great service. Great company. 10/10
Ellery Wolf
Tim was very patient and was willing to let me try whatever I needed to so that I was comfortable with my purchase. The person (lady) who checked me out was very nice and made sure I knew about the 30 day try it policy....club fittings etc. Everyone seemed very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and will visit again as I grow as a player.
Joshua Yocum
Did a fitting with Stephen Fitzgerald at 2nd Swing Columbia to find a set of irons that should fit me better than my previous set. That process went smoothly, the recommendations made sense and we found a set that felt great. Also, he suggested a minor adjustment to my set-up that not only helped me hit more consistently between the various clubs we were trying, but should help me on the course, so that was very appreciated.
Michael Colgan
I went in for an iron set fitting with Kevin Kraft. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great selection of different clubs to go through. It was my first time being fitted and Kevin made it a great experience.
Carl Hobbs
Always a good experience here. Worked with Kameron in selecting a new 3wood. He was very professional and made the process really easy. Ask for him by name if you're looking to get fitted/hit new clubs.
Carl Hobbs
James Stranigan
Kevin was very thorough from start to finish. He was able to take my feedback and created a fitting plan that helped me find the best fit. He was very knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend.
Justin Hockman
I had a fantastic experience getting fitted for a new set of irons with David Ko. The level of knowledge he possesses is second to none. He is the man!
Also, the facility and technology were unbelievable! I highly recommend a fitting with David Ko at 2nd Swing Golf.
Don Rhodes
I have been out of the game for about a decade, but knew I needed new technology; my 30 year old clubs wouldn’t get it done. I was gifted a fitting and didn’t know how comprehensive the 2nd Swing experience would be-it was an absolute pleasant surprise. David Ko took the time to analyze the data and had serious conversations about equipment that was respectful and relevant. I was shocked that the two sets of clubs that I almost purchased on line did not feel as good as the eventual set purchased at 2nd Swing; I was able to try both of them. I strongly suggest to go in with an open mind as far as brand goes, let them work through the fitting process-Srixon was not even on my radar, and they feel, sound and flight the ball incredibly. Looking forward to getting back into the game and know I can rely on 2nd Swing to help me keep progressing. Integrity matters. Thanks so much.
Joe C B (JB-Rex)
Let me start with, I am NOT a golfer! Yes, I've been golfing about a dozen times in my life but I'm really bad, I just go for the fun it with. I play with a nearly 30 yr old set of Wilson ProStaff's, that are not very forgiving. Lately, I've been thinking I really want to get better. Not just go out for fun, but actually be somewhat competitive with the people I'm playing with.
Today was the first step on that journey. Someone close to me suggested I check out 2nd Swing Golf. I originally checked them out for Irons but then decided that maybe I should actually get fitted for a set of irons, find out what I really need. I must say, Stephen Fitzgerald at the Columbia 2nd Swing checked all the boxes with me. Starting with, being on-time, Stephen was ready to go, asked me all the basic fundamental questions to get an idea of what my goals are. Stephen walked me through each step of the process, even offered me some pointers to ensure he wasn't just handing me clubs to try. Despite my full intention to purchase Irons today, there was ZERO pressure to buy a set of anything. There was ZERO pressure toward one iron or another and in fact, when it came down to 2 different irons, Stephen's further assessment of my fitting, had him actually recommending a set that was the lesser expensive of the two.
I would highly recommend 2nd Swing for your golfing needs. Yes, there are tons of locations you can go to that offer golf merchandise, but few that offer the level of service I received today.
Russell McGuire
I’ve had nothing but great experiences here. Charlie, down in the Texas store was amazing. I also worked with Dani the other week who was nothing but patient with me hitting all type of clubs on the Simulator. Definitely will be going back when needed!
Brian Barger
I reached out to 2nd swing because I recently got fit for clubs and the pricing was so expensive and as a beginner I'm hesitant to spend. I spoke in the online chat with Brent L from Eden Praire and the service just blew my mind. He presented me a list of options with the same specs I had been fit for. I had no idea there would be that level of customer service. Definitely will do all my shopping at 2nd swing moving forward.
Leo Kim
2nd Swing team was awesome. David Ko was great working with and got fitted for a new. Love it and will come here from now on for all my clubs and anything golf related.
Maximus
Did an iron fitting with Kevin Kraft and he’s absolutely great. Very knowledgeable, personable, and just wants the best for his customers. He took the extra time to make sure we got the results we wanted. Will definitely be coming back to Kevin for other fitting needs!
Thomas Haass
Came back here about a month after being fitted for some irons which ended up not working so well. Kam helped me select a new set of irons and three wedges that worked much better for me and gapped my bag nicely. Very happy with everything
Scott Sienkiewicz
Very good experience purchasing new irons! I walked in with no appointment and Rick took the time to analyze my needs and fitted me properly. I could not be happier with my purchase! Thanks!
Bill Baker
Had a golf fitting for a new driver. I worked with Anthony Long. He was fantastic. Was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend Anthony and 2nd Swing to all. Great experience
Paul Bennoit
Needed to come in for an adjustment with my driver. Matt was extremely kind and was able to help me with my problem. 2nd swing is always a great place to go. Everyone is very nice and extremely friendly. Thank you again Matt!!!!
Allen Moore
Went into the Columbia MD store to trade a set of clubs and dealt with Mitchell. He was very patient and helped me get a quick fitting for another set. 10/10 would definitely go back for my next set.
Matthew Boyd
Went in for a fitting today and David Ko was absolutely amazing. He was able to keep his patience with me as i topped and thin plenty of shots :) He even gave me a couple great tips that I can take to the range and I think fit me with my best option.
Edward Williams
Great experience. Anthony educated me on my swing and also found me a used driver under budget . A nice pick up of 22yrd with the new toy. I will be back for irons soon
Tim Dobson
One of the best experiences I've had at any store. David Ko was very easy to work with and I'm very happy with the clubs i bought. I would certainly recommend 2nd swing.
Charles Chang
Fitting today couldn’t have gone any better. I was apprehensive at first but David Ko kept me relaxed and even offered tips which ultimately improved my swing. He was very knowledgeable of the equipment and broke down all the numbers from the Trackman. Every question I had, I got answered. Will definitely be going back. Thanks again 2nd Swing and David Ko!
Alexander Khouri
If ever in the market for new or used Golf clubs (Driver, Woods, Irons, Wedges) you HAVE to book a fitting with David Ko @ 2nd Swing in Columbia.
I've been back to work with David 3 times and was floored by his technical knowledge of not only golf equipment/tech but more importantly his knowledge of golf swing mechanics and ability to fit the RIGHT club for the golfer (not just newest and "best" products).
David takes his time to get to know your swing patterns, areas of improvement and Trackman data to evaluate which club(s) will perform the best for your given experience level, and potential for growth.
I'd be hard pressed to find a better more knowledgable fitter out there. Even if just passively exploring potential for new (or new to you) equipment, I cant recommend booking with David as soon as you can!!!
Corey Hadel
I just have to say thank you to my guy Rick at second swing golf Columbia. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and personable. I will definitely be returning for all my golf needs and will be refering all my golf buddies.
Donny Tiengtum
Wow. What a difference new irons, fitted to my swing, can make! David Ko has all the knowledge that made me feel real confident that I was get exactly what I needed to improve my game immediately. 2nd Swing facility made the experience great. Can’t wait to come back and upgrade my woods.
Michael Marti
My iron fitting experience with David Ko at 2nd Swing was exceptional. He was as professional as he was personable in getting me through the process. I learned a great deal about my swing and club selection and am pleased with the service, trade-in of my old irons and purchase of a new irons. Highly recommend David Ko and 2nd Swing.
Mike Zalis
This is the best golf store in the DMV. They have a huge selection of clubs which you can demo on Trackman, everyone on the staff is super helpful, and the 30 day play they offer is unbeatable. Shopping here is just incredible all around.
hrb923
I had an iron fitting with David Ko. I am very happy with the experience. David is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend David for anyone, no matter the skill level.
Steven G
I did a walk-in fitting and I spent about 45 minutes hitting different clubs. Rich recommended some very reasonably priced clubs and gave me some tips on my swing. My game improved from that moment on!
Wesley Prince
Received a club fitting as a Father's Day present. I haven't played a full round in over 25 years. I was a bit apprehensive, but the experience could not have been better. Doug at the Columbia store was very patient and informative with any questions I had. I decided on a Titleist TS3 and I could not be happier about and can't wait to play my fisrt round with it. Photo of my original and new driver shows the advances in technology since I last played.
Adnan Naqvi
Got fitted for a driver by David Ko. David did a great job with the fitting, and helped me isolate my swing problem, which I was able to further work on. I'll definitely be coming back!
Mason
Got a tour van fit with David Ko and I’m still amazed with his expertise. He was able to get me in a new set of Srixon ZX7’s spec’d out to my measurements, and I walked away knowing that absolutely any problems I have on the course are my fault, not the clubs 😂 …
Warren Dawson
Had an excellent driver fitting today with David Ko. Will be back soon for an iron fitting. If you're thinking about getting fitted, look no further--schedule an appointment with David Ko--he's the man!
George Miller
Jim Donatelli fitted me with my first club fitting ever, and I’m 70 years old and wish I would have gotten fitted a long time ago, as I am scoring and playing better golf than I have my whole life….thank you Jim and thank you 2nd Chance Golf!

Had my fitting with David Ko today. Not only did he make my clubs better I learned a lot of what i was doing wrong with swing, stance and ball placement. Highly recommend
Thanks
Tom
Josh Hutchinson
Update after last Friday (7/26) using both for the first time (driver + putter):
Definitely hit at least 50+ yards farther with the new driver, and - once I started getting used to holding my putter properly and the heft over my old one - sinking more (and farther) puts when on the green. Thank you guys so much! Definitely coming back! Also, a guy we were on the course with asked where i got mine at and i said you all and he raved about you too! Cheers!
Wanted to get a new driver and putter to replace the outdated ones that came with my Callaway strata set from years ago. Ended up grabbing a nice Callaway one for $30 that looked barely used. Then...the putter.
Got a fantastic coaching and club analysis from Charles Murphy. Found out I was improperly standing near the club, causing likely much of my issues in the green. We chatted about military stuff, the VA, and he placed me finally into a perfect new putter. The best part, the putter helps me pick up the ball without issue (bad back from a deployment injury). Totally coming back just based on that experience and perfectly chosen putter for me.
Cheers!
Josh
Joseph Samuel
Brian W helped me get a Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Laguna 2! The process was seamless during our online chat! A classic timeless club is now part of my collection.
Justin Sottile
Great selection and friendly staff! They also have excellent customer service for any returns or club trade ins. I go to 2nd Swing often and look forward to going back!
Tammy Wimmer
My husband had an appointment with Stephen Fitzgerald and he was very pleased with his fitting. Stephen was very helpful explaining everything. He will definitely be returning in the future.
Pat Ramplin
I went in to test some putters (7/19/19) noticing I've been missing to the left on my putts. Matt Kaishian heard me out and recommended a putter fitting with my current putter. I was standing too far away and had the toe WAY up in the air. We built a new (to me) putter that was 1 inch shorter and a small weight in the putter grip. I couldn't be happier with what Matt has done to transform my putting and am hitting more pure putts now. Thanks to Matt K!
Riley Deville
Came here for a fitting before the season started and wanted my own set of clubs instead of using my dads. David Ko was my fitter and did a phenomenal job. Not only did he analyze my swing and numbers but also provided tips/suggestions here and there to fix parts of my swing and to get the most out of the clubs. I gave him my budget and he selected clubs that were “best bang for your buck” which made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend David to all levels of players!
George Metallinos
I had a fitting with David Ko on last Friday. He did an amazing job finding me the right clubs for my particular type of swing. He even showed me a few pointers and helped my swing out tremendously! My experience was spectacular and will now be a guaranteed customer for life. I had to travel an hour to get to the location but with the service David and the rest of the staff provided me, it was definitely worth the trip. I will be a returning customer in the future knowing I will receive such great service.
Thomas Liu
Went in for a full bag Tour Van fitting w/ Kevin Kraft and could not recommend this experience enough. Kevin had fitted my irons years ago at a different facility. After going through other fitters for additional clubs, it became apparent that Kevin is an exceptional fitter. I sent two of my friends down to see him this past year and I'm glad I got the opportunity to do so for myself. The facility is really well stocked and the fitting studio in the back is a nice place to be while having your session. To add, the service response has been phenomenal. I had to make some additional inquiries and small adjustments to my order after leaving and it was taken care of immediately. I am totally satisfied and am excited for my follow-up to tweak and complete the new set in the spring.
Sean Jones
David Ko was AWESOME!!! Came in to understand how my current stock clubs “fit me” or rather don’t fit me. David did a great job explaining the different routes I could take either with my current clubs or looking at some used or new options. We decided to move forward with trying out some new combinations and was able to feel how different club heads and shaft could make a difference in my swing. With minimal correction and the right iron combination I was able to go from looking like a bad shot at the gun range to spraying the middle of the fairway. I was impressed how having clubs that fit your swing could make such a difference.
Carl Kohel
Went in for a fitting for a set of iron with David Ko. From the beginning the experience was great. David was awesome the while time through. This was my first experience being fitted for clubs and after talking with him and experiencing this I won't buy another without being fitted. The attention to detail was awesome. I ended up going with a set of Ping G410s. Once we narrowed it down to that club he even made some upright changes on the clubs to make them fit even better. Definitely recommend being fitted here and by David. Sent one of my good buddies to him already.
Anthony Gray
I scheduled an appointment for a fitting with David Ko. He was awesome. I haven't been golfing in almost a decade and David was very patient and informative. I gave him my budget and he helped me find clubs that fit my budget and felt good to swing; even with my back and hip injuries. He also gave me a couple tips to make my swing easier with my injuries. I plan on recommending David to all of my friends.
The facilities were also great, and I will definitely come here again.
Jennifer Greenwood
I cannot say enough wonderful things about David at 2nd Swing in Columbia who evaluated my son for new clubs. He would watch his swing with his own clubs, then try a new club, tweak this and that, try again, repeat. In less than an hour, David straightened and improved my son’s drive by over 50 yards! He was VERY knowledgeable. He was also practical. We bought the driver, but will be going back this spring for the rest of the clubs because David recommended we wait. I really appreciate the honesty, expertise, and advice. Top notch. We’ll be customers for life.
Luke Principato
I had a tour van fitting with Kevin Kraft today and would emphatically recommend both Kevin and the tour can fitting experience to anyone within earshot. Kevin was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable and helped me get dialed and make the right decisions for my golf game. The atmosphere and experience was second to none. I also was able to get a putter fitting with Phil who was amazing as well. I’ll be coming back to 2nd Swing for all my future golf club needs. Thanks guys!
Sabrina Altema
Dave is FANTASTIC. He is extremely patient and understanding. He provided me with a few options, checked in, and then circled back to make sure I was making the best purchase for where I was in my golf journey. As a relatively new golfer, Dave made my experience comfortable and my decision easy. I HIGHLY recommend his costumer care. I also want to mention Anthony—He is extremely knowledgeable and he provided that final piece of advice and reassurance with my final club choice.
2nd swing will always be my go-to for my future needs. Thank you!!!!
Jerry B
What an awesome experience! I was long overdue for new clubs and never had a one-on-one with a professional golfer and fitter. Kevin Kraft worked with me on a full bag and was meticulous in trying to fit me with clubs that worked for me without pushing towards a particular brand of clubs. He stayed within my budget and made the experience very pleasant. I should have done this years ago! The Trackman analysis software is remarkable and I highly recommend 2nd Swing for anybody who plays golf who hasn't had this experience before. It's truly an eye-opener. Thanks Kevin!
Seth Kauffman
The entire staff at 2nd Swing is very friendly and helpful. I booked a club fitting lesson with Blaine, and he was great at helping me find the right set. Once we decided on the right one, he was able to hold it for me until the next day when I came in to buy it. He also helped me find a great deal on a 56 degree. Great store for buying good-quality used clubs, and the staff really seem to care about the customers.
Tom Halverstadt
I have spent two 1 hour sessions with David fitting and selecting a driver and a set of irons. The results were amazing. My distance and swing feel increased dramatically. David took the time to work me through multiple head and shaft combinations until we determined the best setup. Outstanding experience
Michael Pakaluk
I took my son, Mark, age 14, to get fitted. He's been playing hand-me-downs. Time to step up to fitted clubs for him given his skill. I was impressed at how David spoke with him directly in a series of questions to diagnose what issues needed to be addressed. David gave us a couple of great options, with different trade-offs. He could speak from his own experience as the father of a teenage scratch golfer. We got excellent value on trade ins. Very happy with the experience.
Eric Ashby
Went in for a fitting for the first time in over a decade. David was very professional and helpful and with a few minor tweaks he was able to add 5mph to my swing and additional 10 yards. He kept the environment fun and friendly for myself and girlfriend. Would 10 out 10 recommend him to any family member or friend. I purchased his recommended driver, 3 wood and irons.
Anthony Murphy
2nd Swing was amazing! Anthony Long by far is the best golf instructor that I have talked to in quite awhile. He was attentive, responsive and informative to changes that I needed to adopt to improve my driving distance. His knowledge of Nike and other vendors golf equipment was refreshing and insightful. I will definitely visit him again when and if needed for sure!!!!
Brandon Brooks
Came in expecting to try a few utility irons and leave with the one I liked. Was approached by an in-store fitter, Matt, who gave me a free fitting and recommended lots of different things from balls to clubs based on my swing. I ended up going with what I originally came for, but his help was extremely useful.
bryan feldblum
I went in for an iron fitting with Kevin Kraft and he is top notch. Very knowledgeable and professional. I won’t be going anywhere else for my golf club needs.
Kevin not only found me the best iron to match my swing, he also spent extra, what I felt was extra, time to dig further to see if we could improve on the numbers with different shafts. When we were done I had hit enough balls to equal 2 rounds of golf.
I can’t give enough kudos to Kevin and Dan Marshall, the GM, for a great and enjoyable fitting.
Matt Roos
I had a fitting today with David Ko and I have nothing but good things to say about him and this experience. I let David know my price range was 300-400 for a new driver and he was extremely respectful of that price range. He was very honest and assisted me in correcting a few minor things in my swing as this is only my second year playing. He took my 220-230 yard drives to 270-290 in about thirty minutes.I will be back to see David when it comes time to get my irons fitted. I suggest you request him for your fitting as well. The club was very well priced and the simulator was top of the line. Very impressed with 2nd swing.
Ryan Beatty
Dan was the man. I generally hate walking into retail stores because I don’t want to talk to the pushy sales people. This was a rare experience where I actually enjoyed talking with Dan. He was super knowledgeable and wasn’t pushy. He was very encouraging and made hitting a golf ball feel way less awkward then usual when hitting in front of someone else. Made good recommendations that reflected in better results when testing out different clubs. This man deserves recognition. Thanks Dan!
seth taylor
Anthony was amazing! I am still new to golf and don't really have a good swing. He was able to give me a few pointers, fix my swing, and then fit me for a club! Definitely would recommend going to him for lessons and/or a fitting.
Genya Meharg
The staff is incredible and will always do their best to assist. I had a fitting with David Ko, which was painless and incredibly easy. David showed a considerable amount of patience considering that I was shanking balls for a majority of the time. He offered a ton of helpful advice and picked out a set of clubs that I felt great with. His knowledge of the swing dynamic and what clubs would best fit me were astounding. Incredible fitting session!
TJ Fussell
My first fitting experience with Blaine at 2nd Swing Columbia was phenomenal! From the very get-go he made it clear he was there to help me find the club/shaft combo that would best fit my swing and budget, while not trying to push a certain manufacturer over another. I was open to options and that’s definitely what he provided! Blaine was super personable and easy to talk to. We started the fitting off by discussing my style of play and what I’d like to expect out of my clubs. When we jumped into testing he made sure to explain what all the numbers meant so that I could understand the feedback that was showing on the screen. I couldn’t be more ecstatic about my new set and I owe it all to Blaine and 2nd Swing! Definitely a customer for life!
Dillon Schwichtenberg
I went in after about 2.5 weeks after my first fitting to get a different driver and switch a hybrid I was given to a 3 wood.
My first fitting was for full golf club set, just starting to take up golf, and James wasn’t too helpful. He just told me I needed forgiving clubs and lessons. Not blaming him, I totally did. He just seemed disinterested in the fitting though.
Enter fitting 2 with David. David was awesome. I wasn’t a huge fan of my driver and how it felt, and I was given that 5 hybrid that I wanted to switch to a 3 wood. David was super helpful, changing shafts in the driver, finding one that not only hit my price point, but was also great for me. During this fitting, he also coached me a little bit on how to get a consistent swing. Something James really didn’t have interest in doing. If David was available, I would definitely recommend going with him for your fitting, and David, if you want to coach someone on the side, feel free to reach out! Honestly couldn’t say enough good things about him!
Elena Kamely
Decided to get serious about golf this summer after playing sporadically a few times per season. Did my fitting with Blaine and was happy with the result. I am new to golf when it comes down to the technical details of things, and he was able to break everything down and explain it all clearly and in a way that made sense. He was patient, listened to my budget, preferences and needs. He even gave me a few pointers on adjusting my driving stance and it immediately made a huge difference. I didn't feel like I was being pushed to buy certain clubs or buy the newest top of the line stuff. He got me exactly what I came for - clubs for a serious player who wants to get into competition, but also has some work to do. Will be back. ***CLUB FITTERS DO NOT MAKE A COMMISSION ON SALES***
Daniel Langer
This was a great example of why I love this place so much. I bought a 3 wood (no fitment session) a few weeks prior and I just could not hit it clean or consistent off the fairway. Went back before the return window closed and decided to actually get fitted and booked an appointment with David Ko. He had me warm up with a few different clubs to analyze my swing and distances before asking if I would consider playing a 5 wood instead since it fit my distance gap better. He brought out a few clubs that gave me options for different budgets. Went through session with various adjustments done with each club before getting it dialed down to two setups, one of which was slightly more consistent but both were far better than any previous one wood I’ve carried. I played this weekend and absolutely loved the club I was fitted with, it was a game changer for par 5’s and tight par 4 situations and happy to say it gave me two different eagle opportunities. David truly fit the club to my needs based on my metrics as well as my swing style and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend 2nd swing for all of your club fittings and purchases and specifically you should try and book your appointment with David.
Sam Diesel
First time getting fit for a club. Great experience. Highly recommend getting fitted for your clubs. Kevin Kraft fitted me to a new driver. He used TrackMan during the session. Providing instant feedback on how I was hitting the club and needed to be adjusted for custom fit. Definitely feel that he saved me a few strokes next time out and saved me some money down the road. Will be scheduling another appointment for my woods next.
Jeff Rosier
One of the best golf stores I have ever been into. Instantly greeted upon arriving and everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I Recently got fitted by Blaine and every question I had was answered prior to me asking it. The fitting was more than I expected and walked out of the store highly satisfied. If you’re looking to get fitted or have any golf questions. THIS IS THE PLACE. I Won’t be taking my business anywhere else. Thanks again to Blaine and Phil for the great experience. I won’t recommend anywhere else to family and friends. Customer for life.

Went to 2nd Swing in Columbia today to look at used irons. I was greeted and given a tour and run down of the store by Mike. I explained I was new to golfing and wasn’t looking for anything crazy but something that could improve my game. He set me up in a booth and watched my swing and shot and then let Rick help me select a set of used Ping irons that worked with my height and skill level. 5 stars! Everyone was nice and the store is amazing! Went golfing right after and shot better than I ever have!!!

My name is Kyle Miller. First off if your nervous about getting fitted don't be this was my first time and I got fitted by Jim Donatelli. I had a blast. Jim was extremely helpful, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He was addiment about finding the correct clubs that fit my game and asked for feed back after hitting a couple clubs on what felt the best, looked the best, etc. He didn't just look at the numbers from the screen and say this one is the right club for you and send me on my way or push any particular brand. I got to try out every club I wanted and Jim was very patient with me since I am not that good yet. He wasn't standing over me while i was swinging so it didn't feel like I was being judged. Great vibes from Jim throughout the entire fitting and as a bonus he gave me some simple tips to work on at the end of the fitting for the next time I am at the range to help me improve my game. You get fitted in what seemed like a relatively sound proof room with good music playing so people on the sales floor don't disturb you or make you nervous. Overall couldn't give you enough praise and I defiantly plan to come and get fitted with Jim again for a putter and wedges next time( I did driver, 3 wood, and irons). I will for sure be sending all of my friends that golf on down to you all as well. Thank you for the great experience.

Today I had an outstanding experience at the Columbia, MD store. Mr Kevin Kraft conducted a professional, thorough, and effective club fitting for me. This was by far, the best experience I could have hoped for. Kevin is a very experienced master-fitter, and his knowledge, experience, and trade-craft are exemplary and worthy of recognition. His use of the "Trackman" system, along with detailed explanations of what the readings meant, greatly increased my understanding of a proper golf swing, and left me with immediately-useable knowledge which will improve my game. He is kind, attentive, and a great-listener. I highly recommend him for all of your club fitting needs.
Chris Gorud
I had a driver fitting with David Ko last month and he couldn't have been more helpful. Listened to the issues I had with my current driver (high shots with lots of spin) and found a great option well within my budget. I'm more confident off the tee, hitting better drives and more play-able misses. I'll certainly be back for future club needs.
Don Weeks
I scheduled a driver fitting with Pat Garrison, he worked with me trying out several different drivers until we found one that best suited my swing. Pat was very knowledgeable, patient and provided me with several swing tips to work on. I highly recommend 2nd Swing Golf, well worth the time.
Nick Stailey
I got fitted and purchased new clubs with David Ko and had an overall excellent experience at 2nd Swing. David offered several tips to me which greatly improved my game, as a beginner, and the cost for the fitting was comped with the purchase of my new clubs. I highly suggest booking a fitting session with 2nd swing if you’re looking for new clubs that won’t break the bank!
John Wyatt
I decided it was time to ditch the bargain bin set of clubs I bought from a big box chain 12 years ago and get myself a real set of golf clubs. I scheduled a fitting with David Ko at 2nd Swing in Columbia and what a great move that turned out to be. I spent 2 hours with David hitting through the irons, wedges, putting, etc. David was professional, polite and very honest throughout the whole experience. Not only did he fit me with a whole new set he also gave me pointers throughout to improve my swing. If you're in the market for a premium set of clubs that our tailored to you than you cannot go wrong at 2nd Swing. Go in and see David Ko for a fitting and start playing better golf.
Randy Wright
I was recommended this location by several friends for a fitting with my irons. I went to the location and worked with David Ko. He was able to quickly see some problems with my current set of clubs and within 35 minutes located a set of irons that assisted me with shooting straighter and further. Furthermore, he kept me within my budget. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new set of clubs.
Rob Seeley
David Ko did an excellent job on my club fitting!
I'd been playing with the same clubs my father gave me for near 20 years and it was finally time for a new set. The online appointment process was easy. I arrived 15 minutes early and with my clubs as requested. David clearly explained every step of the way from what the existing clubs did to what our goal was with new clubs and technology. And man, first time out on Presidents day I can say Wow! what a difference! David was extremely friendly and fun to work without throughout the process and you could tell he loved what he does. I'll be recommending this process to everyone I can who asks about new clubs. The store is in great shape and everyone was super friendly. Thanks again!!!!!
Andrew Lombardi
Highly recommend! I'm new to the game, and this was my first time buying clubs and getting fitted. Facility was clean, fast, and efficient. All the employees were welcoming and very friendly. My rep, Blaine, was knowledgeable, patient, informative, and accommodating. I explained my experience and preferences, all with the ask to stay in a budget, and Blaine walked me through 5+ different brands with unique features to help me get the right fit. I spent more than expected, but because he took the time to walk through all the differences and explain the value in a set that will last me more than 10 years, I felt more than comfortable spending the money as the experience and clubs were more than I expected. Happy I'm close to this location for future purchases.

Amazing selection and wonderful staff!
What an awesome find! My husband and I aren’t from MD and since moving here he has been looking for a place that not only has a good selection of used clubs for men, but also for women (which can be hard to come by!)
They not only had a fantastic selection with reasonable prices, but plenty of fitting bays to try out the clubs, and extremely friendly staff to help you make the right choice for you, not just try to get you to buy the most expensive option.
Both myself and my husband were able to buy exactly what we were looking for and trade in our old clubs as well!
Calvin, Meg, Kyle, and Peter all helped us and were a delight from the moment we entered to the moment we left. They were knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and genuinely enjoyed what they do.
If you need golf clubs for anyone at any level and price range, this is the place for you. We had such a lovely experience and can’t wait to go back!!
Joe Cho
I got a fitting with David Ko and he was incredibly helpful and friendly, giving me swing tips, great advice on clubs and importantly, the thought process of why certain clubs are better for me and my swing. I felt like I didn’t just walk away with a new club, but also more knowledgeable about golf!
Would definitely visit again and would 100% recommend booking a fitting appointment with David.
Tyler Smith
I had a full bag fitting with David Ko who was absolutely awesome. I’m still a beginner and he gave me great instruction, tips and feedback to improve my swing all while fitting for different styles of clubs. He gave recommendations on clubs that fit within my budget while improving greatly on what I had before. Will likely schedule a lesson with him in the future as I really appreciated all of his help and feedback.
Jungmin Hwang
David Ko gave me a personalized care and fitting so that my transition of clubs felt like I was returning to my clubs! His personal attention and smile kept me calm during my first fitting process! Definitely will be back for drivers and my wife's fitting as well!!
Travis s
Tim the sales manager was absolutely Amazing! I’ve never been here before but I drove 2 hours to check it out and try to find some club upgrades. Tim and all other staff was great. Tim took way more time with me then I expected and he really helped me get some great clubs and great deals. He really knew a lot about golf and was able to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend this place and I will certainly be back here in the future and will highly recommend this to everyone I know!
Simon Stewart
I am not much of a golfer but trying to get more serious so I decided to upgrade from my starter set I’ve had for 10 years. At a friend’s recommendation i decided to get an all bag fitting. I had David Ko as my golf professional. It was the best experience. He got to know me and my goals, my experience and my swing. I didn’t know anything about anything coming into this. We worked through each of the clubs trying different styles and adjustments until we got to clubs that felt right and worked for me. It was just an all around great experience. Everyone in the facility was so nice. I will definitely be going back if I ever need anything else golf related.
Scott King
I’ve had club fittings in Phoenix at Cool Clubs and also Club Champion and is this has been my best experience. David Ko was fantastic. He was thorough, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I am a 5 Hcp and I believe David would be an asset to anyone. He fit me in irons that will give me more control added 3 wraps which dramatically improved consistency. From a Driver point of view I gained 3-4 mph swing speed with a light stiff shaft. A ton less spin and better dynamic loft which is creating more distance. Just a great experience! Highly recommend.
Dennis Boucher
Looking to upgrade my game and not break the bank. After some research I decided to check out 2nd Swing in Columbia. Could not have made a better choice. As I nervously scanned the showroom a young man by the name of Cam asked if I needed some assistance. Cam was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He listened patiently regarding my game, budget and goals. I was soon checking out with a new bag, a new set of irons and a used 3 wood and putter. Cam was the man and sincerely appreciate his guidance and direction.
JD Clatterbuck
My father and I scheduled a fitting with David Ko and it was an absolute pleasure having him fit us for our swing. With the few minor adjustments and tips, he increase my driver carry average from roughly 225 yds / drive totaling 255 yds to averaging 265 carry / finishing a total distance averaging almost 300yds. I highly recommend visiting David Ko and let him and the wonderful staff set you up for success with the perfect club for you!
Jeremy Caruso
I got a driver from 2nd swing a year ago. Problem was the driver added 80 yards to my swing. So I went back in to find a club to help fill the gap in distances. David Ko helped walk me though my different options. He explained different options and even helped change the loft of some clubs to better fit. Ended up finding me two great options. I recommend 2nd swing to all my friends.
Nicholas Krajnyak
I don't normally do reviews, but I just need to say Coach Blaine hooked me up! Went in for a shaft analysis and gained some valuable insight into my swing and new clubs. We bent them about 3/4 a degree and totally changed my ball striking! So thanks again and if you need anything please hit up Blaine!
Billy Griffith
David Ko fitted me for a new set of irons today. He was very personable and professional. My wife and son were there as well and he answered all of our questions. I know more about my swing and am confident that the irons David helped me select will improve my game. I would recommend David to anyone and would not hesitate to come back to him again.
Charlie Griffith
Kevin Ribblett
I took my wife and son to see David Ko to get fitted for clubs. David was great. He adjusted their swings and by the end of the fittings they were both hitting the ball 25 yards farther. He also did not try to over sell us. He made every effort to find a set of clubs within our budget. I will be recommending David to all my friends. Great job!
Craig Kates - The1youtrust
David Ko handled my fitting for irons and driver, which I set up one week apart. Really great to work with and gave little pointers supplemented by video along with tracking data (swing and ball speed, carry, attack angle, path to the ball and much more). Comprehensive yet he made it easy to understand. Excited to play his recommendations!!! I’d give David and 2nd Swing a 6th star if one were available!!
Elliott Pyon
Went for a fitting with David Ko and was able to gain 20 yards of total distance! Overall a very fun and thorough experience. Highly recommend!
Nicholas Nutting
The Second Swing experience was great! David Ko patient worked with me as I hit many, many shots to evaluate club options for the best possible fit! He is clearly passionate about what he does, and is extremely knowledgeable of the myriad analytics available to help make the best club recommendations. What a great process to apply science to making such an important long-term purchase. I can't wait to get out on the course with my new irons, driver, and putter! Thanks David!
Stuart Greenfeig
I had an outstanding club fitting with Kevin Kraft. He was extremely professional, making the 2 hour experience a lot of fun. Kevin was able to show me which clubs were best for me, and he explained the significance of the monitoring of my swing in terms that I could easily understand.
Tim Yee
Scheduled a Tour Van Driver fitting with Kevin Kraft. It was a great experience. Kevin took the time to explain all of the different metrics he was analyzing and helped me gain 20 yards on my drive with a lot more consistency. The customer service from the entire team at 2nd Swing Columbia was great!
Todd Torbert
The store has a huge selection and the staff was very friendly. I had a fitting with David Ko and he was great. He was very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. He took his time trying multiple clubs and was very patient and helpful. Would definitely recommend 2nd Swing and David Ko.
John Kim
Got fitted with David Ko a few days ago on a Driver. First time fitting, and David was tremendously patient, generous, and professional. He is also very detailed and knowledgeable which made the experience more enjoyable. David was very thorough in walking me through multiple specifications and adjusted them all until my swing was optimized. He even offered me some amazing swing advice that literally changed my game (I went out yesterday with his advice). I'm sure the fitting folks are all great here, but if you can, get booked with David. I'm now looking to get fitted for more clubs with him.
David Kuper
David Ko provided excellent service. He took the time to find the right clubs for me, without trying to push the most expensive clubs on me. He had great recommendations and tweaked my driver to add 20yards
Steve Manning
David is amazing at his job. His industry knowledge is unmatched and his passion for golf and customer service is evident every step of the way. Have now been fitted for irons and wedges by David and will continue going to him forever!
Kevern Fraser
Great service and professionalism. Kevin Kraft was awesome and helped me feel comfortable and fitted me for a great driver. I was so impressed I followed up with some lessons.
robert wilson
David Ko was an outstanding fitter/ consultant. He did a thorough analysis of my objectives and swing characteristics; gave me a range of iron and driver brands to test; explained the Trackman results; and provided me with useful recommendations and club options to improve my accuracy and distance. He’s friendly and enthusiastic. Totally satisfied with the experience! Highly recommend him and 2nd Swing, Columbia, MD!

Update: 8/9/22
Saw James Park for a club fitting. Another great experience at 2nd Swing. He was awesome to work with and got me perfectly set up for a new set of Irons. I would highly recommend seeing him if you are going to schedule a club fitting experience. Great guy!
Richard Bush was great! Took his time with me, was personable, knowledgeable about Trackman numbers and products relating to the performance I was looking for. Really knew his stuff! Go see him the next time you are at the store.
bill sprague
Had a great session with Jim Donatelli! Very patient, very thorough and did a great job matching my purchase with my golf swing. I appreciated the time he took to explain the data we were reviewing, and the details of the clubs he was putting in my hands. He was very interested in doing what was right for me, not just moving merchandise. Thanks Jim!
Alex Booth
I worked with David Ko on a full bag fitting, which was an excellent experience. He was able to help me find great clubs to fit my taller frame which has made a huge difference compared to my previous clubs. He was also able to give me tips that drastically improved my performance throughout the session. Highly recommend!
Bryan Kroncke
Our experience with David Ko was fantastic. He helped me find the perfect driver for my Dad. We will definitely come back to work with him again.
Patrick Crilley
I got fitted with Kevin Kraft in Columbia, MD and it was a wonderful experience! Coming in I was unsure of what to expect but Kevin took the time to walk me through the process and all of the options available to me. I would recommend Kevin to family and friends and have already done so on multiple occasions.
Colleen Barsotti
Great selection, very knowledgeable staff, and Jim Donatelli is an excellent club fitter. Extremely pleased with our purchases and will continue to shop at 2nd Swing and will highly recommend your store to friends.
Brett Yeager
A great experience! Went to get a hybrid for my daughter, and Matt was knowledgeable, friendly and patient as she tried out several options.
We left with a club that suited her best.
Larry Lewis
Kevin was great working with me to pick out just the right clubs. I've been playing for over 60 years and this was the best experience I've had when getting new clubs.
Saya Ji
Phil and Tim gave me an outstanding experience. Highly skilled and professional advice. They added 17mph to my club speed!
Kris Marsh
I had a wonderful experience at 2nd Swing Golf in Columbia, Maryland. I purchased clubs in 1999 and only played three times with those clubs. I returned to the sport of golf 20 years later on Memorial Day Weekend 2019. After taking lessons and playing with my “vintage” clubs for three months, I knew it was time for new clubs. I walked in 2nd Swing Golf as a timid new golfer. The two people at the front desk greeted me with smiles. I told them I needed to replace my vintage clubs. They immediately directed me to Gary Cricks. GARY WAS AMAZING! He was patient, thoughtful, considerate, knowledgeable, honest and thorough. Gary performed a swing analysis on every club I hit (and I hit a lot of clubs). Gary went over this report in great detail with me and provided a print and electronic copy. The report including some of the following specifications: club speed, club path, attack angle, face angle, face to path, ball speed, smash face, launch angle, spin rate, height as well as dispersion and trajectory. Beyond just empirical data, Gary suggested I should also base my decision on experiential knowledge. He encouraged me to hit as many clubs as I needed until I found the one that felt “right” for me. Nearly 30 clubs later, we settled on a beautiful Ping G Le set. I left 2nd Swing Golf and went straight to the golf course. I already see great improvements in my game. It is official: I am a customer for life at 2nd Swing Golf. Thank you, Gary and 2nd Swing Golf!!
Boss Man
Mr David Ko was a stand up guy. Very understanding of my poor golf abilities. He still managed to fit me and get me a driver I like. Great experience!
Elliott Echols
This was the first club fitting I have ever had. David was excellent! I can't recommend him enough. I will definitely go back for future clubs.
Marc Young
I just a 3 hybrid at this store. Mike was especially helpful. I spent almost an hour trying out different brands. They are knowledgeable and patient. Great experience.
chris hollenbach
Amazing experience with my club fitting I never felt rushed tried many different clubs to find the right club and irons Blaine and Curtis up front very helpful with everything very knowledgeable
Andy Kim
I had overall a great experience here at 2nd swing golf. David Ko was my fitter and he was very informative on helping me getting the right clubs I needed.
David Marion
Had a great golf fitting for irons and driver with Kevin Kraft. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with, couldn't be happier with the service and support from him and the rest of the staff.
Rich Pell
Took another golfing buddy of mine up to see David Ko. David fit him with a brand new set of Mizunos. As always the experience was great. Looking forward to bringing more golfers his way in the future.
Ryan Gale
First visit at the Columbia, MD store. Booked an appointment with Blaine Seitz for iron fitting with the goal to leave the store with a new/used iron set within my budget. After Blaine discovered that I live almost 2 hours away and also was interested in upgrading my driver and putter, he worked with other instructors to try to book fitting session with the driver and putter during the same visit. Blaine made the iron fitting session super smooth and fun! I tried 6 to 8 different 7 irons and finally narrowed down to one with the assistance of the awesome technology inside the swinging bays related to ball spin, swing mph and downward angle. I previously had 20 year old clubs and I have gained about 20-50 yards on the irons! I left with a brand new iron set that was perfectly within my budget. Blaine paired me up with Matt over by the putting area. After several putting shots being recorded, Matt quickly pointed out my obvious putting mistakes that can easily be adjusted. Matt was very detailed at explaining how I could adjust and avoid future putting mistakes. Based on my preference regard to putter shape and having no inserts, he pulled out about 6-8 putters within my budget. We narrowed down to one putter and I made all the putts within 3-10 feet range! Again, we have upgraded my putter within my budget. Lastly, I went back to work with Blaine. Blaine used most of the stats from the iron fitting and applied it to the selecting a driver for me. After trying out 4-6 different drivers, we have selected one within my budget as well. My checkout went smooth with Dan after getting rid of a few putters for the trade in towards my purchase of the new iron set, driver and putter. My store visit and all the fitting sessions completely exceeded my expectations and I left being 200% happy! I already played 3 round of golf and see major improvements in my game with my new set! I will be back to upgrade my next set of clubs in a few years. A big shout out and thank you to Blaine, Matt and Dan! 😊
Courtland Sullivan
Awesome experience! I went in to pick up a new iron set and before I knew it, Charlie, one of the sales associates was helping me find the perfect set for my swing. He had me try out a few different options in the fitting bay and even gave me a few pointers on how to improve my swing. I was also pleasantly surprised by the turnaround time for custom fitting. I came in on a Sunday and they're going to have my new clubs ready for pickup on the following Tuesday. Also got a new bag (there are so many different ones to choose from) and new grips. This is definitely the place to go for new golf equipment.
Trevor Tabit
Got fitted for a driver by David Ko. Great experience as he was super helpful and informative. Ended up picking up a good deal and walking out happy
Christian Jacobs
Went into 2nd swing for the first time today to buy a new set of clubs. While practicing my swing, I was approached by a staff member by the name of Bruce who was over and beyond helpful in assisting me. He set me up with clubs suitable for my height, gave me great advice/tips, and stuck around to give me a mini lesson on my swing. I ended up purchasing those clubs he grabbed from the back. Great place with amazing staff!
Pamela Griffiths
For Christmas I gave my husband a gift card for a new driver and fitting. Our golf fitter was David Ko and what a pleasure it was to work with him. He was very patient and thorough in fitting my husband for a new Driver. He not only found him the best Driver for his swing but we feel like we got a golf lesson as well which truly made all the difference in the world. We highly recommend David Ko if you are looking for the perfect fit for a club, a golf lesson and an overall great experience. Thank you David!!
Brian Spurgeon
David Ko was amazing at my iron fitting last week. I had never been fitted for clubs before and he made it an excellent experience. Will definitely be going back to him for his expertise when it is time to replace my driver and fairway woods.
jeff schmidt
Blaine was Great. Me standing at 6'8 and hands of a gorilla I was not easy to fit, but Blaine was all over it. Totally worth it what I thought I wanted and what ended up proving to be the best fit was definitely eye opening. Would have never entertained trying the irons that he suggested, but with the proper shaft after hitting and gaining 20 yards and the dispersion of a dime , the
proof was in the clubs. Thanks for your advise I was heading in totally the wrong direction.
Marc Rodriguez
Had a great experience the other day getting fitted for a new set of irons. 2nd Swing has such a large variety of clubs that I was able to test out every iron I wanted to and find the perfect fit for my golf game. Kevin was super friendly and very knowledgeable which made the fitting process smooth and enjoyable. Will definitely be going back to get fitted for other clubs!
M. D.
I had a fitting in Dec 2021. Kevin Kraft was great. He went through the club selections and explained my results. He knows his stuff and gave me good tips. Definitely recommend Kevin to anyone going for a fitting. Also got good deal on my old clubs.
Margaret Carpenter
Had a fitting with James Park to see if I needed new clubs. James checked out my swing with a variety of my clubs and adjusted the pitch of my driver. I didn't need new clubs, just an adjustment and new grips. I also have a better idea of which clubs to use for specific distances. Very honest and helpful.
Adam Ramos
I have had a few fittings in my time playing golf and I have to say, Kevin was the best I have ever worked with. He made it clear that his purpose was to educate and if we could find a better club, that would be the bonus. He kept his word. Zero pressure and at the end of the day, I learned a lot about my swing. I am going to go back in a month or so and do it again with Kevin and he is my club fitting guy from now on. Awesome experience.
Josh Blickenstaff
I scheduled a driver fitting with Blaine Seitz. I would highly recommend him; he was very knowledgeable about the various shaft - head combinations and gained me 10 yards carry. He explained the fitting process in layman’s terms and I left the fitting feeling very satisfied with my purchase. I’m planning on coming back to see Blaine at the end of the season to get fit for irons.
Kevin Conley
This was my first ever fitting and I would highly recommend 2nd Swing! Kevin Kraft, who assisted me for my fitting, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly hospitable throughout the entire process.
He got me fitted in a very timely fashion and equipped me with the exact irons and putter that fit my golf game. Without a doubt, I will be back for a driver and any other golf needs I might have down the road.
Jonathan Green
Second Swing in Columbia is by far and away the best golf store I have ever been to. I always send everyone I know who needs clubs here. Bruce and Mike were extremely helpful with finding the right clubs for me. Prices are very reasonable and they have bays with trackmans to hit on. Always a pleasure to come here to add some clubs to the golf bag.
Nick Kelly
I’m a 12 handicap golfer - I brought in a new 2 iron I had bought from a friend. I was really struggling with getting it in the air & flying as far as I wanted it to. I worked with David Ko for 20 minutes, and after a few adjustments to both the club & my swing I was hitting that iron better than ever before. My best experience at 2nd swing yet. They never disappoint! Thank you David
Colton McCrea
I brought my father in law for his first fitting and it was a great experience. David Ko was our fitter and did an awesome job of narrowing down which set of irons was the best fit. He gave just the right amount of instruction that led to better contact without completely changing my father in law's swing. I will be booking a fitting with David soon for my next set of clubs.
Brady Locher
Had a used club fitting with David Ko last week. David was fantastic and the club selection is unmatched for the area. I came with certain clubs in mind. David had me try those along with a few others he suggested that I had not considered. Turned out the clubs he had in mind outperformed the clubs I intended to buy. David followed up quickly with an email of the trackman results and a narrative of what we discussed. Looking forward to going back to get these clubs from second swing. Thanks David!
Brian Walsh
I just completed a Tour Van Iron Fitting with Kevin Kraft at 2nd Swing in Columbia, MD. This was the ultimate experience from the start with Kevin. I could tell from the beginning that Kevin was there to be sure I got the best set of new irons that were going to be the right fit for me. Kevin proved through the process that he wasn’t going to just sell a set of irons to me, but was going to be sure the irons would improve my game. Kevin made me feel comfortable and as if I was the only one that day he was fitting for irons. I recommend Kevin and 2nd Swing to anyone who wants the ultimate fitting experience.
Camden Kent
Fantastic fitting experience! I was running late for my appointment with David Ko but called ahead and was told the fitting could still take place. David was super knowledgable and efficient in getting me fitted for irons that fit my swing and my budget. I won't be going anywhere else for fittings, this shop has it all including a dedicated and caring staff.
Dominic DeSalvio
I saw all the amazing reviews for David Ko on here and decided to check it out (I needed some new clubs anyway) and I can't recommend the fitting experience enough. David was kind, answered any questions I had, and patiently took me through all of the options there were within my budget. I also love all the detailed trackman information you get about your swing and other fun facts afterwards. I highly recommend him and 2nd Swing Golf, especially if you are newer to the sport like I am and want to get more serious about it.
Nick Wong
David Ko did a great job. He took his time analyzing my swing and I am very satisfied with the driver I ended up purchasing! I will 100% be going back to David when it is time to get my irons fitted.
Frank
I had a driver fitting with David Ko and it was a tremendous experience. David was very patient, answered all of my questions and it is clear he’s an expert. I had a very efficient fitting and was able to try several head and shaft combinations until we were both confident I had arrived at the best option for speed, distance, and dispersion. I’m not the strongest player so David also served as a great coach to ensure I stayed consistent through the process leading to meaningful comparisons between clubs. I really appreciated that David started by asking me about price point - I was never trying to walk out with a brand new $500 club, and we arrived at the right club for the right price. I’d recommend a 2nd Swing fitting to anyone in the DMV.
Joe Lambert
Just had a driver fitting with Kevin Kraft....It was exceptional. As a senior golfer I went in looking to get back some distance. After trying many different combinations Kevin got me into the perfect setup and I gained approximately 25 yards off the tee....Looking forward to the season!!
Thanks Kevin....
Adam Ariosa
Worked with Kevin K. at the Columbia location and he was excellent. Former professional golfer that really knew his stuff when it came to golf clubs. Did not try to upsell me or anything. Really enjoyed the experience. Will definitely come back here for my next fitting. Also had a huge selection of used golf clubs if looking for anything specific.
Trevor Reardon
David Ko!
First I was 30 min late for a fitting at 2pm on a Saturday.
I got held up working and just was running behind. David was patient and allowed me to still get fitted for my clubs. David went through different types and sizes of clubs. David also helped me fix some things in my swing. David also allowed me to pick the club that I liked and did not try to force a more expensive or a club that he favors over what I liked. I highly recommend taking advantage of the fitting for clubs here because it is very helpful. Thanks David and Second swing,
Ryan Hollen
Shout out to my club-fitter David, I wasn't sure a fitting was worth while as a 12-15 hdcp, but I tried it anyway - so glad I did! David took the time to learn my (less than perfect) game and was able to test a wide variety of equipment until finding what I really wanted and needed. After happily decided on a driver that averaged 15 more yards farther than my old driver and minimized my errors on mishits, I took it to the course that same day. Glad to report back that the bombs were plentiful and even the poor shots were salvageable. Very impressed and happy with my decision and instant improvement. David, thanks again - I'll be back to you when the time comes to upgrade the rest of my bag!
Larry Conforti
Master Club Fitter James Park was great. He was very honest and told me what I did not need to buy. I purchased a TS1 used driver and added 20 yards to my drive. James also suggested a different setting for my fairway wood.
EJ Nadolny
Went to second swing because face of my hybrid I purchased there collapsed. They gave me a full refund. I had my irons appraised which was about how much I thought. Then I worked with Matt Hughes on demoing some new irons. Matt was very knowledgeable and had me try multiple irons and shafts. No pressure to buy but I will surely go back to purchase when I’m ready because it was such a great experience

I had bought a starter set from here a few weeks ago. Also scheduled a fitting (which is free if you buy clubs). I like that you can return any clubs within 30 days for an exchange. I didn't like my hybrid 3. Today at my fitting I had a guy named James. He was great. I am a beginner, and he sized up my swing in their computer. So much data. He also gave me pointers.
I still needed a drive and a 3 wood (so I thought). James matched me up with a driver that was in my price range and had it analyzed on the computer. Then, based on my swing, he suggested a 5 or 7 wood instead of the 3 wood.
I ended up getting the driver, the wood and great feedback.
This is my only place to go to when I decide to upgrade... or if I decide to quite golf and want to sell my clubs. Lol

I had a great experience at this store. I met with Charlie Murphy. He took the time to help me adjust my swing mechanics while fitting me for the proper club for my size and build. He helped educate me on some of my mistakes and overall helped my quality of game moving forward. He was never pushy about selling me something I didn’t need. He kept me within my budget and still provided me with top tier service. I would highly recommend meeting him and gaining any knowledge of the game he has.
SW Choi
I got my driver fitted with David Ko and it was great experience! I was able to gain 20 yards from my old driver and got a great trade in value for old driver.
Highly recommend to get fit for your clubs.
Brock Tomlinson
Had a iron fitting with David, and he was very helpful in guiding through the process and letting me geek out and try many different irons and shafts and comparing the different options and most optimal set up. He was also very good at communicating about timing and answering all my questions while guiding me to a better product. Would recommend anyone to see and get fit by David.
David Hong
I scheduled a fitting with David Ko for a new iron set. I had a great experience. David was very patient with me and even helped me with my swing. I was able to walk out with a set I was happy with. I would definitely recommend David to anyone.
Michael Lu
I had a great experience visiting the 2nd Swing Golf store in Columbia. The customer service rep and manager were very friendly and accommodating in getting the maximum trade credit when I brought in my used clubs. I had a driver-fitting appointment that day with David Ko hoping to find the most optimal driver head/shaft combination for my swing regarding a mint TM SIM2 driver, which I have been coveting for quite some time. I let him examine my current gamer driver (9* Titleist 915D/Aldila RIP-alpha S) and gave him a little background info regarding my game, swing tendencies, and handicap. I first warmed up hitting about 10 balls with my 7 iron. David then asked me to hit about 5 balls with my current gamer. He clearly explained what all the Trackman numbers (i.e. ball speed, smash factor, etc. ) meant and which areas I could instantly improve to gain more distance, for example: adjusting loft to the driver head and matching the correct shaft to attain the optimal ball speed and spin according to my swing characteristics. I was very impressed with David's knowledge and expertise in fitting me into my new TM SIM2 driver (10.5*; adjusted fade bias) within only a couple shaft try-outs, ultimately settling on the Mitsubishi Tensei-blue 60s. I can't wait to hit it on the course when the weather starts warming up. I highly recommend visiting 2nd Swing, Columbia store for the vast selection of new and mint quality used clubs that meets the criteria for every golfer's budget. Thank you David and 2nd Swing staff for your quality service and professionalism; I am a happy and satisfied customer and will be back again soon!
John Hancock
Worked with Kevin for my first fitting last Thursday, what a great experience! He clearly explained the data from each product we tried, his attention to detail was exceptional. He adjusted the loft of my new wedges to match up with my new irons; I had my best short game results all season this weekend. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking to get fit for their next set of clubs.
John Cox
I'm a new golfer in my 50's. I got a full bag starter set about a year ago and have enjoyed playing about 10 rounds. I decided to get a fitting for the first time and didn't know what to expect. Kevin Kraft was knowledgeable, personable, patient, and very helpful . He spent 2 hours helping me find the best driver and irons for me, including going through multiple shaft options for each. I'm hitting the ball much better, and excited to continue to play and improve. Thanks again Kevin!
Zach Dunn
Had an Iron fitting with Kevin Kraft and a putter fitting with both Charlie and Kevin. Both were very knowledgeable, fun and easy to work with. Will definatley be going back to them for any and every golf fitting need in the future.
Phil Phillips
Had a fitting today with K. Kraft and had an exceptional experience. I was greeted and assisted by store personnel before getting in to see Kevin and during the fitting I couldn’t have been more impressed and satisfied with the process and experience. He worked his tail off to get me the best equipment to fit me and my game. Highly recommend 2nd Swing - Columbia MD
Samuel Walton
I've never had a bad experience with 2nd Swing. I've bought so many clubs there as I started playing golf. The perfect price for those getting started and trying to grow their game alike. I recently got fitted for new irons and wedges with Kevin Kraft. The tour van fitting experience was better than I could imagine. Kevin took the time to look at my form, measure my hands and the distance to the ground to judge the perfect length for my new clubs as the ones I was previously using were too short for me. We took the time to try out different club heads, shafts and grips and he even noticed my love for different colors to use for my grips to make the clubs so uniquely mine. A perfect fitting for sure. I can't wait to go back and finish off my bag with Kevin and the 2nd Swing team. Couldn't recommend more!
Frank Hopkins
I highly recommend 2nd Swing and fitter David Ko. David was very helpful in finding a driver that best met my needs in being a mid/high handicapper. He went above and beyond not only to provide excellent service, but he completely assisted with a mini lesson that helped me obtain numbers on trackman that I have never seen before. I had been fitted once before (by another National fitter) and felt I was put in the wrong product for my skill level. I am hoping based on my experience @ 2nd swing , that I will now be able to lower my scores with the help David provided for my driver.
Derrick Bryant
Love this place. Location is well staffed, very spacious and very well stocked with both new and used quality golf clubs or every brand. The club fitting process is superb even for used clubs. David Ko was phenomenal fitting me and he was exceptional in keeping me under my desired budget.
Connor Sorg
I recently went to get my first set of fitted irons at the Columbia location. I could not be more impressed with the set up and process that I went through that day. I was fitted by Blaine, and I could not have been more happy with how everything went with him. He was very professional, but kept everything relaxed. I am looking forward to going back and continuing to working with him!
Sang Y Chung
I completed a driver session with David Ko today and could not be happier. He optimized my distance and improved my accuracy with the Driver. The Driver has always been the most inconsistent club in my bag, but I think it's about to change. David was very knowledgeable and patient. He even pointed out some of my tendencies and bad habits I have built over the years, which helped my game. I will definitely come back for another session for Irons in the future. Honestly, my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.
Charles Ford
Had a “long game” (driver/woods/hybrids) fitting with Kevin Kraft. He was very patient and knowledgeable. Even more importantly he explained my numbers and what they meant without trying to push me into any specific club or brand. I paid for an iron fitting (at a non-2nd Swing fitter who I also liked) and this is even a better value; it is essentially a free fitting if you are buying clubs. I came away with a mix of new and used clubs so I can’t imagine a better value for fit or better customer service overall.
Mike McCarthy
Went for a club fitting. Great experience. Beautiful showroom and simulator setup. Kevin K was awesome. Very helpful and nice. Found some great clubs that work well for me and stats show I hit longer and straighter. Highly recommend.
Rebecca Davis
I scheduled a fitting for new clubs for my husband’s birthday and we had a fantastic experience with Blaine Seitz. He was extremely knowledgeable about every type of club we were looking for and provided excellent advice throughout the fitting. My husband found the clubs that worked best for him and fit our budget. We never felt like we were being over sold. We would definitely recommend!
William Nolan
I had a fitting with Kevin Kraft. Great experience. He is very insightful about all the different clubs and what they can offer for different swing types etc.
Definitely would recommend getting a fitting with Kevin if you are looking to better your game.
Candi Keyser
Had an iron fitting with Jim Donatelli today at the Columbia MD store. The drive from Harrisburg Pa was well worth it. Jim not only was very professional but was a great coach. Way more than a fitting. I fell 2 Swing is top notch compared to other fitting stores.
Marianne DiSomma
The customer service provided by the 2nd Swing staff from the time I walked in the door to the time I left was outstanding. I also had a club fitting with Kevin Kraft who not only made me feel at ease after missing a few balls in the demo area, but explained the technology he was using to identify the best club fit for me. He was patient and thorough and explained each step along the way and I'm very happy with my club choice. There was no sales pressure or rushing - he's a very experienced golfer who enjoys helping people. Thank you to Kevin, Meg and the 2nd Swing staff for an outstanding experience!
Senior
I took a trip up to 2nd swing for my first ever club fitting. I can't believe you can do so much adjustments to a set of irons. Kevin Kraft as my fitter. Cool dude. Not only did he do a great job with the club fitting, he gave me a few tips that totally made sense. nice bonus! Great personality, very knowledgeable and understood what i wanted to achieve.
I also traded in all of my old arsenal and tooled up for the coming season!
Will definitely be back for driver fitting. Will also bring son to get his new sticks fitted.
Benjamin Tomasiello
Awesome experience, that was more than a fitting. Went in for a new driver and putter and iron fitting. I’m a 19-20 hcp and was worried my inconsistencies would be an issue. David Ko made 2 minor adjustments to my set up and swing and suddenly my fade/slice turned into a draw. Set me up with the right driver and shaft and I picked up a draw and 50 yards!
Highly suggest getting fitted as I learned my driver was too heavy and stiff for me.
The set up and swing adjustment also turned my 7 iron into a draw with more distance.
I’ve never hit on a simulator that provides all the data, so seeing all that info was really cool and as I said, it was an experience more than a fitting for clubs.
Def going back to David for a fairway wood.
Highly recommend!
Jeremy Wood
I went to 2nd swing to get my current clubs fitted to me. David was great. He was courteous, patient, and went above and beyond to ensure the clubs were fitted to me and I was comfortable. Highly recommend 2nd swing for a club fitting. I will for sure be back when I purchase my next set of clubs.
Billy Koontz
This was my first time at 2nd Swing and it was awesome!Blaine was fantastic at helping me find the right fit for my swing and body type. He explained things in depth but in a way that I was always able to follow along. Everyone else I encountered was very polite too. I’ll refer my golf buddies of all skills levels to 2nd swing, and specifically Blaine, for the foreseeable future!
Greg Galiardi
Went for the full bag fitting with Kevin Kraft. Kevin was both very personable and knowledgeable. We discussed my game, my current clubs and where my weak spots were. We worked our way through some of the more popular brands and some that I expressed interest in based on demo days I had attended. After narrowing it down we tried several different shafts. I ended with clubs that felt the best, went the furthest and were the cheapest. (Score!)
I will say that the full bag in one day is a bit much. By the time we got to the woods I was too tired to hit the ball well. I ended up ordering a new set of irons but I will return another time to redo the woods. The company requires that they offer the full bag and I made the mistake of trying to do it all at once.
Austin Balaz
Normally I don’t leave a review unless I have either a truly horrible experience or one that is above and beyond. And that’s where Blaine Seitz at 2nd swing Columbia went today.
I showed up to get fitted for driver. I told the man what I was looking for and showed him my incredibly mediocre swing. Within 20 minutes my grouping was tighter, my shots were farther, and my DM’s were flooded with hot college coed’s trying to have my children.
To make a short story even shorter, after your visit with Blaine, the flagsticks at your home course will be shaking in fear as soon as you step up to the first tee box. No breakfast ball needed. Cheers Blaine…. Cheers.
Ryan Flach
Came in for new driver fitting with Kevin Kraft, brought my current driver to test against. He walked me through 5 additional drivers tweaking shaft and loft on each one. Turns out my current driver was best fit for me after 45 minutes. Was expecting to spend $200 and he did it all for free. Great guy and a great place, could not recommend more. Will be back when it’s time to buy my next club.
Lew Shipp
Kevin Kraft fitted me perfectly with a set of irons. I’ve never felt better about a fitting. Kevin spent quality time to ensure I was getting the right clubs. Interesting biographical note: In winning the 2018 Pa. Open, Kevin set the course record at Lancaster CC.
GarGaming YT
Went today for a fitting for new Iron Set with Kevin. He was knowledgeable, thorough and did an excellent job. I’d highly recommend him. Significantly reduced my dispersion and added 11 yards carry to my irons. Meg was very kind during the checkout. And the deal was very fair. For sure I’ll be returning.
Michael Wang
David Ko is a pro at helping golfers find a second swing. Being a tall (6'5) guy, I wanted to get correct sized irons because the ones I had were almost 2 inches short. David was super patient, friendly, and great at explaining all of the different stats that came out of the golf simulator as he navigated me through over half a dozen different irons and eventually found a set of Pings which were both affordable and felt right to me. In addition, David was really helpful at giving me tips to hit the ball cleaner so that I increased my distance, accuracy, and speed. Thanks to David, I quite literally gained a 2nd swing from the actual set of irons as well as the improvements to my swing motion. 10/10 would recommend again.
Steph Bowman
My husband made an appointment for me to get fitted for a putter (birthday present). Charlie Murphy from the Columbia store did my fitting. I've never gone through a fitting before (being a newbie), he was very patient, gave me a few gentle lessons on my stroke and wasn't afraid to go outside the box I painted for him to get me into the best putter I've had to date. (borrowed putters from my husband). I finally have a putter that is MINE and it feels great! I would highly recommend Charlie! What a wonderful experience!
Graham
Highly recommend - I have bought all my clubs from 2nd Swing and it is always a pleasure. David Ko is wonderful and thoroughly helped me find a perfect fit by mixing and matching several club heads with many different shafts. He truly does have the customer's best interest at heart, and is very knowledgeable.
Daniel Holt
A big thank you to Kevin Kraft at 2nd Swing Columbia. I did a driver fitting with him today and it was a great experience. I hit my current gamer to get a baseline for the fitting. Kevin looked at the numbers and said that will be hard to beat. He answered all my questions and found a driver a little better than my current one. He recommended that I keep playing my current because the gains were maybe not enough to make it worth spending the money on a new driver. He told me to come back in November when the new stuff comes out and we will try again. I will use Kevin again for my next fitting. A big thank you to him.
Ned Ponder
Had an iron shaft fitting with David Ko a few weeks ago. We went through several different options and compared the data. David was very helpful and friendly. Had the newly re-shafted clubs on the course a couple of times and m so glad I got fitted for the right equipment! Also had a putter fitting with Blaine Seitz, great experience their too! My putting is spot on now! You guys are great, thanks!!
Charlie Abell
I had my first fitting ever with Kevin Kraft on September 7, ,2021. It was fantastic. Kevin walked me through the process and fully explained all the stats the system generated. He let me know what was going well and where I could improve with a different club. The entire session was stress free, fun and extremely helpful. I bought some new clubs and a used club to complete my new, improved set. These guys are great!
Nathan Felmus
Had my first ever fitting here with Blaine Seitz and was an incredible experience. He was patient, helpful, and explained everything easily and adeptly. He took his time to explore a variety of club options within my budget, never tried to upsell me, and was understanding in his analysis (important for a high handicapper like myself). I will be going back for my next fitting without question.
Brian Krantz
Stopped into the Columbia store and got an impromptu fitting with David Ko. I just finished my beginner lessons and was a little overwhelmed with all of the choices for clubs that were available. David was very patient with me, explaining different details of the various clubs I swung across the 2 hours I was there. His professionalism and easy-going nature made it much easier on me to make my club selections and I would not hesitate to see David again when I am ready to upgrade my clubs in the future. If you need to get fitted, David is your guy!
keith sutyak
David Ko is the man. Got fitted for a driver and he increased my distance from 200-220 yards to about 250-260 yards on average. Got fitted into a Titleist TS3 at 8.5 degrees to fight my high spinny shots.
The driver and fitting was under $250 dollars. I will never buy a new club again. 2nd Swing is awesome.
Corbin Jackson
David Ko was great. Helped me through my fitting, gave great tips and instructions to improve my swing. Also found me a great set of irons to go home with. Ask for him if you can when scheduling your 2-hour club fitting. I’ll be back soon for a new driver!
craig fischer
If you are thinking about about improving your game then get a fitting to find the right clubs for you. I finally made an upgrade to my clubs and my fitting with David Ko was outstanding. David asked the right questions to get to know what my goals are for improvement, what my current game is like, and patiently walked me through the fitting process. By the end of the fitting my swing speed was up 10mph and distance was improved by 25 yards. I highly recommend David at the Columbia 2nd Swing if you are considering a club fitting to improve your game.
Ronan Miller
I had a fitting with David Ko today, and it was great. He was extremely knowledgeable, excellent to work with, he picked out a few different club makes, and he let me pick out and try a couple I did my research on, and his picks were much better performing than the ones I chose. He asked me what my budget was and worked very well to match me with the best clubs. I would recommend him to anyone, it was a great experience, the store was well layed out to shop for any product you could need, and every employee was pleasant.
Aaron Mccombs
This place is awesome! As a new golder taking lessons with a hand me down set I thought I should come in a do a evaluation and determine if I needed to upgrade. The staff we knowledgeable and took down the intimidation factor greatly. I cant wait to grab my first set from this staff.
Vicky Ames
Wandered in to find a new driver and was luck enough to be there when club fittings were offered. Everyone was very helpful and Matt did a great job with my fitting. I will definitely be back!
Peggy Carroll
My husband went for a fitting and was extremely pleased. Blaine Seitz and David Ko were his fitters (2 separate days). Both were very professional and knowledgeable. Not only did David fit my husband for clubs but he also passed on many tips to improve his swing. Blaine was very patient with his driver fitting, trying many different heads. Both were great! He will be back, open a store in New Jersey, please.
James Miller
Fitting with Coach Blaine on Friday was an excellent experience! He is very knowledgeable and really takes the time to match you with the best club(s) for your swing. Thanks Coach Blaine and 2nd Swing!
Victor Chin
I had a club fitting with David Ko. Had a terrific experience. He was pleasant, super knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Will definitely reach out to him again for future fittings. Highly recommend scheduling with David if you are looking to do a fitting.
Andrew Bonior
Had a fitting with David Ko today. Told him my price range for a set of used irons at the outset. After he had me hit about 75 balls with various cubs, and we analyzed the data, he made his official recommendation. I fully expected that clubs he was recommending to be at the upper end of my budget- but they were actually FAR LESS than I was willing to spend. Honesty like that can be hard to find, and its obvious that David truly cares about his customers. Also gave me a great tip while I was hitting the balls- which I'm confident will up my game the next time I go out. I cannot recommend 2nd Swing Columbia and David Ko enough. I have found my permanent golf store and look forward to using them for decades to come.
Bob Sims
Had an iron fitting with David Ko and it was great! He watched me hit numerous shots with my current irons and recommended adjustments he felt should be made to my existing clubs. He also had me hit the latest club design so I could determine if I wanted to upgrade my clubs, but he did not push an upgrade. He also talked about the type of ball I was using and suggested I use a different ball. He also looked at my current grips and recommended I use midsize grips. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend David for a fitting.
Mary Jo Lintz
I worked with David Ko and he was very patient, knowledgeable and helpful getting me fitted for a driver as a beginner. He even gave me some great tips and I was hitting the ball much further after an hour session. I feel the price was very fair as well. I will definitely return to work with David as I buy additional clubs.
Stanley Jones Jr
Excellent service provided by Anthony. He went above and beyond. He made a difference for me.
Rebecca Purdie
The employees were very knowledgeable but more importantly to us, they really took the time with my 9yo. He started getting into playing when we aquired a set of junior clubs last year, but no one in our house is very golf savvy so when we look for new clubs or other things he needs, it's always a chore. Def found our new go- to place now! They all took their time with him, let him try out a few different styles (including clubs that we weren't all that interested in just because hitting a few inside on a rainy Sunday was fun to him), and really took the time to explain to him what each club he had was used for so he could decide how to spend his money. The guys who helped him were amazing, the lady at the front was amazingly patient with him, and everyone was very friendly and not pushy at all.
Did I mention my son is not only a junior but also a lefty??! And they dug around and found just what he needed in a clearance club so that he didn't spend all of his money in one day! And to top it off, his day was made when the cashier handed him a brand new pack of balls to try out his new hybrid with! Best experience EVER and this is something I usually dread (except for the smile on my little dudes face!)
We will be recommending them to everyone we know with kids or even adults who play. Thank you so much to the staff on duty Sunday 10.24
James Wiegand
First, the store is fantastic, very organized and clean. Customer service is also terrific. I was met at the door, ask how I could be helped then taken directly to my appointment. I was given a club and told to start hitting balls so I could be warm and ready for my fitting. During the fitting, David Ko was awesome. I wasn't just fitted for the perfect club, I was given some swing advice. At the end of the hour, I was hitting my new 5 fairway consistently the same and farther and straighter than I was before. I highly recommend 2nd Swing for any golf needs.
Matt Hart
Had an iron fitting with Kevin Kraft. Had a thorough swing analysis, and patiently went through different club head options along with identifying a different shaft to better fit my swing. Great experience overall.
John SanGiovanni
Fantastic experience! My fitter - Mr. Ko - was great. He knows his golf statistics, equipment, adjustments, and swings! He took time to explain things so I understood the changes in equipment, setup, and swing. Helped me get almost 40+ yds!
david kim
Originally had bad experience ordering my iron shaft. No one told me they are back ordered or everytime I called to check the status, they told me to call customer service. But i stopped in at the store to figure out what's going on, and a guy name Joe, the Sales Lead came and took care of the issue accordingly. This man made my experience with 2nd swing from the worst to the best. What a great guy taking ownership of customer's issue, coming up with a smart solution. I was surprised the way he handles issue and I would definitely come back to see him for any purchases. Thank you Joe!!
Steve R.
See David Ko. We did a full bag fitting and he helped me 1.) find irons that immediately added 20 yards and add'l accuracy to my game, and 2.) after trying different new drivers, figured out why I wasn't hitting my existing Ping driver well (which I was ready to trade in). He was honest and pointed out why I wasn't striking the driver well. Two days after my fitting I’m immediately seeing consistent irons and at least add'l 20 yards off the tee with my existing driver. Go see David if you want an honest, relaxed and detailed/ professional fitting . No pressure to buy unnecessary equipment. In 2 hours he was able to help me dramatically improve my ball striking. Definitely worth a visit.
Russell Phillips
David Ko had me in for a fitting and I could not be more happy with the experience. I have had fittings before and his was far more helpful and enjoyable. I have nothing but great things to say about David.
Jeremy Klem
Best customer service I've received anywhere. Anthony Long and Dan Marshall went above and beyond all of my expectations. I was at first very disappointed after my fitting and being told I purchased the wrong clubs for my swing. Anthony researched inventory and emailed me with several options and was quick to reply to my questions. When I made the choice that the best thing to do, would be to exchange I returned. Dan Marshall walked me through a few options. During our conversation I brought up my wife would like some clubs. He dropped everything and the focus was on her. My wife was able to hit the booth and try 6 sets.
Today my wife and I played our first round together with our own clubs. It was the best round we've played! Thank you!!!
Chris McCubbin
Had my first ever fitting with Kevin Kraft. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Fitted me for a new set of irons and understood what I wanted to get out of my game. I started to tire out and he didn't push me to make a decision on driver. We decided I should come back and make a decision on good swings. Facilities are awesome. Will definitely be going here for my club needs from now on.
Jeff Feldblum
Went down to get fitted for irons and a driver. David ko was very knowledgeable and could tell what I needed after the first couple swings. Even fixed my golf swing too! Next fitting I have will be with him for sure!
dcbrot
I did a driver fitting with David. I didn’t know what to expect, but he ended up being awesome and spending so much time with me. We tested like half a dozen clubs, and one was clearly the winner for me. David gave me some tips on my swing and I was crushing the driver like 50 yards further, give or take (maybe 30+ consistently). He was so thorough and took so much time with me that I actually was the one to say “all done”.
The data that’s created with the Trackman system is really impressive. David sent me the data afterwards, but I never received the email 😥. Not his fault but I’m bummed.
Definitely a great store and experience. And I bought a nice driver to replace a 10+ year old one.
Karen Allen
I want to start off by saying how impressed my husband & I were with our visit today to 2nd Swing, Columbia. Every employee that we encountered was polite and helpful. No pushy sales associates:-)
The reason for our visit was because I had a iron fitting today with Jim Donatelli. I have been golfing for a few years now and this was my first time getting fitted for clubs. Jim was great! He was extremely knowledgeable and took his time with me to make sure we found the right clubs. He had me hit 5 different clubs and went over my stats from each make of club and explained what they meant. He asked me what I thought about the clubs that I had hit and when I told him which two clubs I had liked best, he told me that those were the two that he would have suggested based on my swing and the numbers. They both added almost 20 yards to my swing! He then spent more time with me trying different adjustments and also gave me some tips to help me with my draw.
I would highly recommend 2nd Swing, Columbia to anyone that is interested in getting fitted for clubs. We were so impressed by 2nd Swing and Jim that my husband scheduled a fitting with him as we were driving home. He is headed back tomorrow!
Chris Jones
Had an awesome experience with David Ko! Came in to get fitted for a driver I bought from them a couple days before. He helped me get it just right and on the way to improving my game. He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend 2nd swing to friends and family. I will be going here for all future golf needs.
Dylan Santos
Went to 2nd Swing for two separate club fittings for a driver one day and irons the next day. As always, 2nd Swing had an amazing variety of clubs to choose from and all staff were courteous and helpful.
My fitting was with David Ko and wow was I impressed with his knowledge and willingness to give pointers on my swing. He not only new exactly what clubs I should try but he also took my opinions/selections into consideration as well as took extra time to correct some inconsistencies on my swing. I would highly recommend David as a fitter for anyone looking to get fitted.
john erickson
This is my first fitting at 2nd Swing. David Ko was fantastic. He was patient with the fitting process and offered a lot of insight into my game. His assistance hasn't ended after the fitting. We have continued to chat on other areas of my game. I highly recommend him.
George Uhl
Updated - I've been very happy with my irons fitting so it was a no-brainer for me to return to 2nd Swing to get a Driver and fair wood fitting. David Ko was fantastic and helped me zero in on a new driver and fairway wood which added 20 yards to my shots.

After playing a handful of times in over 30 years I went to 2nd Swing for an iron fitting and walked out with a new set of irons.. Thanks to Blaine Seitz for the fitting and the encouragement after a long layoff from the game.
D F
I wish that I had read these reviews before I scheduled my wife's fitting. We bought a used set of irons; hybrid; and drivers for her and it was an unpleasant experience with another fitter at 2nd Swing. However, for my driver selection we met with Charlie Murphy and had a completely different experience. He is perfect to work with! He is attentive; focused; always evaluating what I might try next; etc.. I love a great customer service experience and Charlie has what it takes to make you feel valued and listens to your needs. I could go on but I think you get the idea. Thanks Charlie, for listening and making us feel important.
charles law
Came looking for a hybrid and a nice young man named David was very helpful. He showed me several hybrids and then examined my swing with the clubs I was interested in. Though I did not make a purchase, David did make degree adjustments on previously purchased hybrids from 2nd Swing. Really appreciated his helpfulness and pleasant attitude. Will come back again.
Alex Crocamo
Charlie Murphy was extremely helpful in figuring which wedge I needed to fit my bag. Even as I was testing he gave me a tip or two that helped improve my swing. Highly recommend going here and when you do, ASK FOR CHARLIE!
Edit -
I came back to this store for a driver fitting and Jim Donatelli got me absolutely dialed with a brand new driver. Awesome experience to have and was able to find a driver that best suited me and my swing. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
Michelle Crabtree
Great service by David Ko at 2nd Swing Columbia! I had a custom fitting with David for a new set of irons and a new driver. David and I talked about my golf experience, what I was looking for in my new clubs and my budget. He was knowledgeable and spent the time with me trying out several clubs until we found the right ones. I have just gotten back in to playing golf and needed to upgrade a 20+ year old set of clubs. Then we had the clubs cut and regripped later that afternoon. I am very happy with my new clubs and would highly recommend 2nd Swing. Ask for David Ko, he will take good care of you. Kudos to everyone at 2nd Swing!
Michael Lee
Excellent experience with a great professional fitter. My girl friend got a set of used Irons, Titleist 718 AP1 with a great price. So many selections of used clubs and I found their price beats online golf stores. Charlie was the fitter and his assistance was exceptionally helpful, patient and kind. We are definitely going back to the shop for next clubs. I recommend this store to anyone who's looking and testing out new clubs to call the store and make an appointment.
Patrick Callender
You wont find a larger selection of clubs anywhere else. On top of that the staff is friendly and knows their stuff. Their trackman machine tells you so much information about your swing, and is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve tried. Huge should out to Charlie Murphy who hand picked out a couple sets of irons based on my needs, watched me try them, and decide which ones I wanted, and on top of all that he even offers private lessons to make sure you hit your new clubs as good as possible. Amazing experience. I won’t get my clubs anywhere else.
David Sacramo
Went in for a fitting and new set of irons. I worked with Anthony Long and it was an extremely productive session, I learned a lot about my swing and how to improve my game.
Sarah Cook
I started getting into golf again during quarantine this spring, and decided it was time to upgrade some clubs in my bag. I had a fitting for woods and hybrids with Charlie Murphy, and wow did it surpass my expectations. Charlie not only knows his stuff when it comes to the technical aspects of fitting, he is also incredibly personable which made for a great atmosphere. I was a little nervous as a mid/high handicapper, but Charlie's sense of humor helped me laugh off some bad shots and he made me feel really comfortable and relaxed during our hour together. In addition to fitting me for a 3 wood and 5 hybrid that worked well with my game, Charlie also gave me pointers throughout our session that had an immediate impact on my swing and had me connecting with the ball more consistently. I will definitely be back to work with Charlie on other clubs in my bag, and highly recommend him if you are looking for a fitter. I am always impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful the staff at 2ndSwing are (especially RT Odom- he has never failed to check in on me as I'm shopping to answer any questions I have, and he makes the store feel very warm and inviting), and I can't say enough good things about this place.
James Petrolle
David was awesome! Super helpful and friendly and helped me get ready for this spring with a new set up
Maggie Whall
Great staff! Jim Donatelli gave me a free putting lesson and didnt push me to buy a putter but when I'm ready I'm going back there!
Noah DeMarco
I had a great experience working with 2nd Swing to choose my new iron set. I signed up for a fitting with Jim Donatelli and he invited me back again free of charge to ensure I was completely satisfied before I made a purchase. I also had my entire golf set stolen recently so I worked with 2nd Swing to repurchase all my golf equipment (and they were caring enough to even help me out financially!). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly with amazing customer service and I will definitely be coming back.
Carlos Guarin
I’ve been to the Columbia location 3 times now; once to be fitted for new Mizuno irons, once to purchase a new 3 Wood and once to get a new 4 hybrid. I have been met with great superior service! Knowledgeable and very accommodating staff. They truly try to help you understand your swing through analytics and are not pushing products on you for sales commissions. David helped me on my last visit and gave game changing insights that have helped my game. They have earned a raving fan!
Brian Fuller
I had an iron fitting with Kevin Kraft and it was a great experience. I had never been fitted for clubs before, having bought off the rack in the past. I came in with no ideas on what I wanted. Kevin had me hit multiple types of irons until we found the head, shaft, and grip that worked best for me. I didn't end up with the most expensive clubs, Kevin recommended the clubs that I hit the best which were less than I was expecting to spend. I felt there were opportunities for "upselling" but Kevin kept the focus on what clubs were best for my swing. I am planning on returning to Kevin to get fitted for a driver.
Matt Marsiglia
I recently had my 3rd fitting done at 2nd Swing Columbia. This time it was with Kevin Kraft and walked away with the same great feeling I did the last two times. The importance of the fitting process can't be over stated. My swing had changed so much in the last year and Kevin with the help of David got me set up with Ping G410 irons. I walked out with them that day. I can't thank Kevin enough. He even was working the day after qualifying for the US Senior Open! 2nd Swing also helped me with a warranty issue I had with a previous set of clubs. I can't say enough good things about everyone in that place. Definitely a customer for life
Dwayne Brown
Had a great experience my first time in for a fitting. David Ko, gave me tips and pointers on how to improve my swing and stance. Professional, yet very laid back and welcoming for someone who is new to the game. David worked with me to not only find the clubs that fit my game the best but also explained why using the trackman system. He listens and stayed within my budget as well not trying to upsell me on something I did not need. I highly recommend going to see him and checking out what 2nd swing has to offer. Will for sure be going back for my next fitting!
Dan Grigg
I had an iron fitting yesterday with David Ko and was extremely happy with the experience at 2nd Swing. I have been in the market to upgrade my irons for a while, but was constantly disappointed by the big-box sports store experience. The experience at 2nd Swing was completely different: they were knowledgeable, friendly, available, helpful, had a huge selection, and had excellent technology to help analyze my club needs. I was able to get the "look/feel/sound" of all the clubheads I had been considering and then make a final decision based on a combination of my preferences, the computer's data, and David's expert analysis. I can't wait for the customizations I requested to be finished in a few days so I can get to work on lowering my handicap!
Amir Matin Sadeghy
Absolutely LOVE this place! I make all my golf purchases here, even though it’s a half hour from my home.
First off, the 30-day play policy is amazing. I don’t know of another place that lets you try out and return clubs.
Second, the customer service is great. Just about everyone is super helpful.
Finally, they do a wonderful job with the club fitting. I was fortunate enough to end up with Kevin Kraft - their head club fitter - and he’s just the best. He took the time to put together a set that works the best with my swing, and I’ve never been happier with my clubs.
A big thank you to everyone at 2nd Swing!
John Zurita
This was my first time getting a true fiiting. I was fortunate to have David Ko do the fitting. He was great! Professional, knoweldegable, and very patient. David tried his best to adjust my swing for the clubs I was using but the clubs just weren't for me. Anyway, we went through a few sets of irons before settling on a set of Mizunos that, for me, hit like a dream. I hope it transitions to the golf course. If they don't, I'm sure David will help me work it out. If you're buying new clubs or just need a tune-up, David's the guy to see!!
Kasey Young
Highly recommend coming in a seeing David Ko! He will get you dialed in and wanting to get out there and practice! Will be coming back.
Dan Dering
Lots of choices for golfers of all skill level and price ranges. Phil was the store personnel who assisted me. He was attentive and thorough. Thanks. ⛳️👍🏻 …
nicole barnoski
Jim Donatelli was a great instructor and club fitter! I went into this fitting not knowing what to expect while looking for a new set of clubs. Jim has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable about everything related to golf. I felt like he was genuine in finding the right set of clubs for me. He didn't try to sell me the most expensive or certain brands, but took the time to trial a variety of clubs to find the right ones that suited me. He gave me some golfing tips that I would never have thought of and he fixed my swing! (Well that's a work in progress). I would definitely recommend seeing him and I plan to sign up to see him again next time I'm looking to add to my set.
Chris Cosentino
Kameron helped me in the Columbia location and he was outstanding. Really educated me on what I could expect and what to look for with the different hybrid and wood options. Thanks so much!
Eric Young
I decided it was time to upgrade my ancient equipment. I made an appointment with James and he really took care of me. He first gave me some tips to get some good swings so that i could decide what club to buy. I had decided what club i needed to buy and he helped me understand that my wants and needs maybe did not align :). I ended up with a Ping driver that of course I hit well in the shop. Now the test. I immediately went to the driving range and lo and behold, I was lights out with that new driver and 5 wood.....amazing.....The folks at second swing are awesome. It was worth the drive and ill return again......for sure....I highly recommend anyone needing new clubs....heading to second swing is absolutely worth your time and you will be satisfied.
Matthew Silverman
Outstanding experience @ Second Swing - Columbia, MD!
As a golf beginner, I met with Charlie Murphy for an initial swing test and was blown away by the insight, detail, and comprehensive approach to customer service. I received invaluable tips on my stance, grip, and swing! Charlie brings expert knowledge and an infectious enthusiasm for the game of golf. *I left the store with a very affordable, full-set of beginner clubs/bag and well prepared to begin my golf journey!
All thanks to Charlie and Second Swing in Columbia, MD!
Blaine Patrick
I had the absolute best experience getting fitted for a new set of clubs at 2nd Swing. Blaine yes another Blaine was beyond professional knowledgeable and fun to work with! We dialed in a beautiful new set of Callaway Maverick irons that fit my swing perfectly. We were even able to get a driver that's going to help straighten out my ball flight! Matt help me on the putting green find a used putter that is going to take my game to the next level! So excited to go play now, And I would recommend anyone going to get a new set of clubs here!
Reece Sullivan
This place is great. Found used clubs that were almost like new, which goes a long way especially being left handed. My fitting was scheduled with Charlie Murphy and was the best fitting experience I’ve had. Charlie was knowledgeable, personal, and experienced when it came to the game of golf. It was like my fitting included a golf lesson based off how much Charlie knew about the game. I would recommend 2nd Swing to anybody but Charlie really made the whole experience worth it.
Matthew Aleshire
Entered the store looking for a odyssey putter to replace my shabby old one. I walked to the back of the store to see if I could find the specific one. I couldn’t find the putter myself and so I asked. Turns out the putter was a hit or miss with the mesh insert and asked for recommendations. The manager found a couple I would like and I eventually broke it down to two putters. Both were great fits. Sided with a o works odyssey #1 putter. On the spot the manager brought the price down from 149 to 119. I was very pleased with my visit to 2nd swing.
David Claypool
Charlie helped me get the hybrid I needed and was super patient with me and my selection process! He was knowledgeable of equipment and once we found the club, he adjusted it to my swing and desired loft and it was a great experience! Phil helped me with a putter and found out I needed a taller putter than I was used to. That was beneficial because it will help my lower back. Both fitters were superb! I highly recommend 2nd Swing in Columbia, Md, and especially Charlie and Phil!
matt polm
I went for my first ever fitting and chose to go with David Ko after a friend recommended him to me.
What an extremely personable guy that really does want to help your game. From start to finish it was like I was being catered to. Even after the fitting I looked around the store and Dave found his way over to help me with different questions unrelated I had.
There was one major problem though. He was too good. Now I have to be fit for everything and my wallet is screaming at me.
Emily English
I had a great experience with a club fitting with Charlie Murphy. He was thoughtful, patient, friendly, & fun! I've never been properly fitted for clubs or gotten help from someone with expertise before when shopping for equipment, and I am excited to get out and play with my new equipment and a few swing tips from Charlie! I will recommend him to friends & family!
robert dyer sr
What a great place to buy clubs. I scheduled a fitting with David Ko and I am now constantly driving the ball 10% further than with my old Ping G5. David did a great job putting the right club in my hands in less than an hour (I was a few minutes late).
Victor Rieman
David Ko helped me with an iron fitting. David was very helpful and knowledge and made every effort to personally tailor his recommendations to my skill level and goals. I'm excited to get out and try my new clubs.
Justin Yost
I love this shop. I went in to pick up a new putter and perhaps a driver, and Charlie Murphy provided an incredibly helpful fitting with positive feedback and recommendations. But what really set the shop apart was his advice on different drivers. He didn’t try to sell me on his favorite driver, nor did he try to push the most expensive one. He gave me great food for thought and when I was hesitant about pulling the trigger, he didn’t pressure me to make a purchase at all. I eventually purchased the putter and a new bag. The experience just solidified to me that Charlie cares about his customers, and not just selling gear from the shop. I will absolutely return to pick up that driver now.
Micah Kauzlarich
2nd Swing in Columbia MD was one of the best club fittings I have ever had. Specifically, David Ko., my fitter, made the entire process perfect. He is brilliant with his ability to match the perfect club to the golfer. I definitely will be revisiting for any future fittings.
Kevin Major
The place has great technology! Did a driver fitting with Jim Dinatelli. He was very honest and helpful! He was able to put together a driver that provides significant improvements (aka more bombs). Would definitely recommend and will be back!
Wes
Had a great experience at 2nd Swing in Columbia, MD. Got a full bag tour van fitting and found everything I was looking for despite going during the "winter doldrums." I have gone from full Taylormade to full Mizuno (putter excluded) with the incredible help of Kevin Kraft. Excellent customer service and a top notch facility made for a wonderful experience. I currently live in Florida, but will definitely be back to the Columbia facility for all my future golf needs!
Christopher Duncan
I had a fantastic fitting with Jim Donatelli. He was incredibly knowledgeable while not attempting to push me into making a rash decision. Not only did he help with a fitting he also provided some much needed tips to improve my swing. I would highly recommend Jim for your club fitting needs.
Lillie V
David was upbeat, a true professional, and super helpful fitting me for irons. It’s like getting a golf lesson all at the same time. I am a repeat customer. My adult son saw him for a second time as well. We’ll be back!
Kory Barrett
Had a great first experience at 2nd Swing Golf in Columbia, and specifically with my fitting appointment with Gary Cricks. Gary is terrific at his job, and seemed completely committed to helping me find the right irons for my game. There was no sales pressure whatsoever, and Gary didn't have any pre-conceptions about brands or try to steer me in any particular preference based on brand or price. He simply helped me understand all the options, clearly walked through my swing results with all the clubs we tried, and collectively we decided on a new set. It was not at all the model I expected to purchase when I went into the appointment, which is exactly why selecting new clubs in this fashion is the right way to do it. Have an open mind and let an expert like Gary help you discover which clubs are best for your swing. I have other appointments already scheduled with Gary (new driver and fairway/hybrid woods) and am looking forward to them!
Monica Chung
I scheduled a fitting with Charlie Murphy and I couldn't be happier. I'm grateful I'm in a position to truly customize iron clubs to me as I bought a set up club heads and went in looking for the perfect shaft to fit my needs. Charlie didn't shy away from sharing that he can really do a putter fitting (I'm a little sad I didn't actually get myself fitted for my putter). At the start of my fitting he did ask another fitter, Kevin, where he should start but easily took the lead from there and it's evident he can read the data and explain it to demonstrate what exactly you need to look for when getting fitted for any club in your bag. I'm excited to say that we were able to determine what iron shaft I needed to provide me with the best iron game and got to walk out with a "new" driver to add to my bag as well! I will be scheduling another fitting once my clubs are built to have the lie and length adjusted as needed which will be done at the 2nd Swing custom build shop.
If you're going in for a fitting, you need to keep an open mind. You may have certain brands in mind but you can't fit yourself to the club, the clubs need to fit you. There is never any pressure about buying clubs at all, even new vs used. They truly just want to ensure you walk out with something that will make you feel good.
One other bonus! Charlie even shared with me 3 GREAT tips about my swing that will help me excel my golf game. He was kind enough not to share these with me during my fitting and waited till after we identified the right shaft so that I wouldn't shank ever ball there after. I will need to hit the range to work through some of my "bad" habits.
I couldn't be happier that we have a Columbia location! The customer service and interactions with all representatives at 2nd Swing have been top notch hospitable experiences.
Maurice Howell
I needed a new driver and decided I would try 2nd swing. I worked with Matt on fitting me for the driver. What an awesome job Matt did in fitting me for the driver that worked for me. He suggested the time of club, made the adjustments and suggested the grip! It works so well for me. Thanks Matt!
All kinds Of Gain
Had a driver fitting with David Ko about a month ago. Can’t say enough about how consistent my tee shots have been. Gained about 30-40 yards with so much consistency. Definitely recommend getting a fitting with him.
Jeff Kuczynski
I came here for a club fitting, and I had the pleasure of working with David Ko. He was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He evaluated my swing and suggested several iron sets that would be most beneficial to me. I would highly recommend David and 2nd Swing swing Golf in Columbia, MD.
Christian Bush
I had an excellent club fitting experience with Charlie Murphy at 2nd swing. I am the kind of person who expects a store-based, club fitting experience to be part helping my game and part selling me on expensive clubs. My interaction with Charlie showed me that he was all about helping my game. He had no interest in trying to sell me on the most expensive clubs. We started out by discussing my chronic pain limitations and my price limitations. Charlie picked out drivers that fit into both sets of limitations and we went through a technology driven club testing exercise. I am excited to report that we found a great driver that works for my game. Charlie also evaluated my putting and helped with the selection of new grips for my putter and irons. Overall, I thought Charlie was very professional and that the 2nd swing operation was of high quality. I will definitely go back as I continue to upgrade my 10 year old set of clubs.
Sean Dunphy
I had a fitting with Kevin Kraft who is the Lead Master Club Fitter in the Columbia, MD store. It was a great experience and my days of buying clubs off the rack are over. Kevin was patient with me and took the time to try all the brands I had expressed an interest including Cobra, Taylor Made, Ping, & Callaway. After many club head shaft combinations we settled on the PING G425 with low spin tour shaft which has led to more fairways and considerable distance improvement. I am 17 handicap so didn't really know what I needed but Kevin took the time to explain spin rate, smash factor, dispersion, ball speed and club head speed. I would highly recommend Kevin to any golfer who wants a great custom experience to up your game.
james wilson
David Ko at 2nd Swing Columbia went above and beyond to help me with my swing while fitting my clubs. Using the simulator, I could instantly see which clubs felt the best for me. He gave me great input on the clubs in my bag and has directed me in the right direction for a set of irons that know I can hit better.
Tyler Collins
Highly recommend David Ko ! Had a driver fitting with 3 drivers to find gamer for this year. From start to finish David Ko was incredibly helpful and professional, and also patient. Excellent club fitting but also swing coaching. He's the man to see at 2nd swing Columbia. Will be back. Recommend 10 /10
Scott Bolen
Had a fitting with Jim Donatelli. He was very helpful in the process and exemplified great customer service and expertise. I got exactly what I was looking for at a competitive price and would recommend it to anyone looking for new or used clubs.
Will Kehl
David Ko was extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic help today while fitting me for a new driver. He is very patient and interested in helping you improve rather than up-selling you on an expensive club you might not need. I will certainly be back the next time I need new equipment.
JasonQ6
Had a driver fitting with David Ko today and he was efficient, knowledgeable and a great fitter to work with. We added 30yds of carry, increased ball speed and lowered spin within 15 minutes. Definitely recommend him and second swing
David Kim
Went in today with a plan for a set of golf clubs for my wife. We were approached by Charlie Murphy who offered assistance. We are very fortunate to have him assist us. He took into consideration a wide variety of factors and he recommended a set that made a whole lot of sense. We expressed some more details in what were looking for and we finally wound up purchasing something else that happened to be a little more pricey. What's funny is that we were the ones did the upselling to ourselves. Charlie never pressured us and in fact didn't want us to overspend, but he did want us to be content with our purchase. He also offered a comprehensive putting analysis, something that was beyond his call of duty at the time. What a treat! Through all of this, he was truly professional and very friendly. We had a very enjoyable experience and will be glad to return for further golf purchase considerations. We will certainly look for Charlie next time as well. What a great place for golf stuff!
Scott Kremer
Gary Cricks did a fantastic job helping me with my fitting process. He was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant.
I have played golf for forty years, a single digit handicap and feel I know a little bit about the swing and some of the technology. I could tell he was very good at what he was doing and guided me through. I ended up ordering a new set of irons, with the adjusted lie angles and the shafts that optimized all my launch monitor numbers.
Great experience!
Kunwar Vir DMD, MS
I had a fitting with Kevin today. He was very professional and down to earth and really went out of his way to help me with club selection. I highly recommend him for a fitting! Everyone was friendly & the service was great. This place has a cool vibe, check it out, it's like golf heaven.
Joel Zingeser
I went to 2nd swing Columbia today for the first time. I was looking for a putter and had a great experience with Charlie Murphy who greeted me at the door and escorted me back to the fitting area specifically for putters. He led me through a great process related to both my putting stroke and various types of putters that might be good for me.
The process included video and data analysis. It also included great advice from Charlie on my posture and putting stroke. He then showed me through the very sections of the store and all of the equipment that they carry. I look forward to returning in the future when I need any change in equipment.
DEREK WILLINGHAM
October 2, 2021 (Anthony Long-Master Golf Fitter)
I finally decided to get a golf fitting. After searching for a place to get it done, I chose 2nd swing. It was a 40 minute drive, and I was hoping that it was going to be worth my time. I was so glad I decided to get it done, and that I chose 2nd Swing.
I have never done this before, so I was very skeptical about this entire process. So much so, that I was researching the process online as I was driving there the morning of.
I walked into the store and was greeted with a warm welcome from the associates working that day. As I looked around the store, I was overwhelmed with the mass inventory of golfing items. This is the golf Mecca!!!
The associates directed me to the person who would be working with me to get my personal fitting, which was Master Fitter Anthony Long.
To make a long story short, Anthony was great and knowledgeable! I mean this guy was full of information that was useful to me and I’m sure anyone.
Anthony explain everything to me. It was a comfortable experience and well worth my time and money. The equipment/computers that he used to assist him in explaining my fitting, was more than helpful.
If you have the opportunity to take a fitting, I encourage you to do so, and request Anthony Long. He will take care of you!!!
Eric Bridgeforth
I went there today wanting to buy a very specific set I researched, and dealing with Matt the onsite club fitter I left with some clubs that were a better fit for my game. Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this place if you have the opportunity to check it out.
Pat Royal
I highly recommend getting fit with 2nd Swing and specially the Columbia location. I had a session with David, and he was amazing and they have lots of options to try. He gave not only great feedback but had the trackman numbers to back it up. Great way to examine your game but an invaluable tool before you purchase new equipment.
Christian Diaz
I worked with Charlie on getting a new putter and he was very patient and understood my budget constraints. He analyzed my putter stroke and picked a putter that worker best for me. The store itself has a very large selection of clubs at great prices and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Will definitely be coming back for my future club purchases.
Dustin Simmons
Excellent experience! All staff were extremely nice, especially Dan. Prices were EXCELLENT! I am a high handicap beginner, and felt very comfortable trying out clubs in the demo areas. I also appreciated all of the recommendations Dan made for me. Will be back and tell all of my golf buddies to come through!
Chris Peabody
I have been golfing for about 40 years, but, never had a club fitting. I neeeded a new driver, so, I decided to check into Second Swing. What an outstanding experience! The website was easy to navigate and schedule my fitting, I LOVED that if you purchased a Driver, they applied the $75 fitting charge to the purchase. Gary Cricks was my fitter, he was absolutely fantastic to work with. He spent about 45 minutes with me, let me ask all kinds of questions about the information from my swings, and at the end, helped me find a driver that added 25 yards, and was much straighter. It was EXACTLY what I needed. He also spent time with me on an issue with my grips, and helped me pick the best ones for all my clubs.
As far as price- you can't do better. They let me trade in my old driver, and gave me a "First Time Discount" making the purchase incredibly affordable. So, I got a Driver Fitting from a professional fitter, a driver that was 8 years newer than my old one, at an incredible price. Time well spent, and very, very smart/thoughtful people. Well done, Second Swing. Chris Peabody - Bethesda, Maryland.
william Morse
I had a fitting with David Ko for a putter and wedges. He was great to work with. Understood my skill level, budget and was able to maximize the clubs I could get and that worked best with me. Looking forward to going back for fitting of some irons.
Sean Eade
I had a great shopping experience at 2nd swing in Columbia today. I haven't bought golf clubs in years, so know very little about the process. The store is well set up, with all club options available. And the driving simulation bays are amazing. Makes getting to know the clubs real easy. And to top it off Gary was a great help with me finding the right clubs. I told him I wanted pings and he scouted the store and find all the right clubs for my swing in no time. Almost all the clubs he picked for me were perfect first time. I'll definitely be going back again when I need more supplies.
Paul Guest
Great fitting experience with 2nd Swings James Park. His knowledge of clubs and how to set them up is astonishing. Very happy with the new clubs and all in my price range. Thank you James.
Zack Smith
This is the second time I've been back to 2nd Swing in just 2 weeks. Once before for an iron fitting and today for a driver fitting. My fitter David Ko was extremely helpful in not only determining what driver to choose, but the reasons why we chose it. The data can be a lot to unpack but David was very thorough and answered all my questions I had. Highly recommend, I'll be back soon for a putter and wedge fitting as well!
Jeremy T
I brought my old irons into the Columbia store for trade in and to pick up a different set of used irons. I was also scheduled for a club fitting session but when I was 10 minutes from the store, I received a call stating that the club fitting person wasn't able to make it.
Never had a club fitting before but thought that was not acceptable to receive such a last minute notice. Should be at least 24 hour cancellation notice plus I had driven 1 hour to the store and used vacation time from my job too so I could be there during the week when there would be less traffic in the store.
Anyway, found a set of irons and hit a few balls with the 7 iron when Charlie (store employee) walking by noticed the 7 iron readout on the machine. He suggested a few other clubs to try and I am glad he did that because the irons I ultimately chose, were 5+ mph faster in club speed with better results!
I will still need to see how they perform on the actual golf course for me but I'm very happy Charlie was able to assist me with the purchase.
Robert Kramer
Had a very positive experience with Second Swing. Sales Associate Charlie Murphy did a fantastic job helping me fix my putting stroke. I was interested in a new to me putter and he worked with me and advised I keep my existing putter but changed my setup. He could have been a typical sales person and tried to sell me the most expensive item but instead saved me some money and helped my game. I’ve already mentioned to several golfing friends of the positive experience at Second Swing. Thanks Charlie
Andy Flynn
Great place to shop for clubs. Kevin my club fitter was not only knowledgeable but patience. They also offered me a fair price on my trade ins. The facility was top notch and all of the staff were pleasant. Buy your clubs here and you wont go wrong.
Thomas Boyle
I had a fitting for my first set of irons with David Ko. It was a great experience. I was nervous about the experience as a beginner player, but David was great. He walked me through many options, all within my price range. Would definitely recommend.
Jackson Hamill
I have shopped here 3-4 times now over the past 2 years and have been pleased everytime I have come in. I came in to shop for a used iron set today. Greg was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable which is invaluable for me as a beginner golfer making a significant purchase. They have a great return/play policy which makes the decision making process that much easier!
Joe Leonard
I had the opportunity to work with David Ko last week as I wanted to explore a deeper dive into my driver options. My expectations were exceed. David spent an hour with me going through many facets of my approach , my swing pattern, ect. I did not feel like he just wanted to sell me clubs
I highly recommend David as you swing coach
Zach O'Dell
I visited the store for the first time and was assisted by an associate, I think his name was Kyle. I was looking for advice in regards to reshafting a driving iron, though I initially suggested I was uninterested in a fitting. Kyle continued to help as I swung multiple shafts, including my own. He broke down some data points and made solid recommendations. Customer service is clearly a top priority here at Columbia 2nd swing. I will definitely be back.

2nd Swing is an awesome golf store! I first experienced them in Minneapolis and wanted to upgrade my golf bag and set up a fitting with Kevin Kraft in the Columbia MD location. He was super patient as I shanked a few balls at first. I gave him a budget up front and there was never pressure to spend more and he built an awesome set of clubs with what he had to work with. He looked for the best club, price, and fit for me. Would highly recommend working with Kevin or anyone at 2nd Swing in the future.

Went for a fitting with David Ko. David was able to listen to my specific needs that I wanted to improve on in my future game while being able to help me keep the consistencies I wanted to retain. He was able to help me pick a set of irons that felt similar to my old set but had a greater performance than the old set. It’s only been a month since having the irons and I’ve already seen a great improvement in my game. Definitely would recommend seeing him to get a fitting.

Had a club fitting with Charlie Murphy. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Best experience I have ever had in a golf store. I left with a new set of Big Bertha irons, and a Ping hybrid and 3 wood. Great selection, great pricing and friendly and helpful staff.

Worked with Kevin K. at a driver fitting and could not be more pleased with the results and process of the fitting. As a higher swing speed player, I have done other fittings where they sort of shrug at acceptable and do not dial in settings as you would hope. Kevin took the time to suggest heads, shafts, and reasons for their selection as well as listen to, and adjust, off of my feedback. Even though my spin rates and launch were in acceptable ranges, he was patient and expressed interest in trying to dial them in further because I was not quite locked in on feel. He did not push exotic shafts or big payment upgrades on me and that was greatly appreciated because they did not have the feel I was desiring. He made one minor adjustment to the head weighting and it ended up making a world of difference and locked in a new driver for my bag. I appreciated the effort put in by Kevin to my individual fitting and have highly recommended this store to many of my friends looking to get fit.

I came in to buy an iron set of clubs for the first time after using a mix-match of old clubs. Charlie Murphy was the instructor for my club fitting appointment. From the start he asked me about my game and what I was looking for. He started me off with a few hits to warm up. He came back with a a bunch of different club brands. We started to try them out one by one and he informed me on what each one was doing for me. He also gave me some great tips with my grip and swing which automatically fixed my swing and now I was hitting them higher, longer and most importantly straight. He was calm, informative and we had fun during the whole process. After our fitting we narrowed down on my data to figure out which club provided me with the best results. Then he also asked me which ones I liked and felt were good for me. He wasn't pushy and left the decision up to me. He also helped me stay within my budget and grabbed the clubs that related to that. He didn't try to upsell me like in other places. Charlie even grabbed my clubs and walked me to the front to make sure I was checked out correctly. I had a great experience and will recommend anyone trying to get fitted or learn more about golf clubs to go to 2nd Swing as they are the pros on this. Charlie, thank you for the session I appreciate all your help!

This place is a golfers paradise especially if you are left handed. I went in to get a club fitting for a new iron set and Gary was extremely helpful. The swing simulators are pretty awesome and show just about every aspect of your swing on the screen. Using the simulator and Gary’s experience really helped me find the right clubs to fit my swing.
I never realized how helpful a fitting could be until working with Gary, so I highly recommend working with him or anyone at 2nd Swing. Every time I’ve gone there has been a great experience with all of the staff. When the place first opened up Tyler hooked me up with an awesome driver. Overall, this place is amazing and I highly recommend it to any golfer of any level of experience.

Very thankful that I got my clubs fitted. The entire staff is exceptional and kind. I love going there. It is a ton of fun. My clubs look and feel great! Kevin Kraft is incredibly thorough, patient, and detailed. I learned more than I could have expected. Thank you!
To follow-up came in to resize my putters today and learned a ton from Charlie Murphy. Charlie took the time to explain things and taught me a bunch of information about putting I never knew. I now know what putter fits my style! Once again an awesome visit to the shop! I'm very excited to use my new clubs for the upcoming season!
John Kim
I just got fitted for the very first time with David Ko with a new driver. David went over and beyond and really cared about the right fit for me. David was patient, detailed, super knowlegeable, personable, friendly and even gave me some free tips!!! Thank you for a great experience and look forward to shopping there again.

Gary Cricks helped me with a custom fitting and purchase of an entire new bag. I am just beginning with golf and Gary was patient, thoughtful, and provided excellent advice. There was no pressure to overspend, but at the same time, Gary provided council I needed to make sure I was making a wise choice. Gary listened, was thoughtful, resourceful, and value-centric. He regularly checked in about the total cost of my investment as we moved through the irons, drivers, putters, and bag. He got me into a set of clubs for less than the max investment I expressed and I feel like I got a really great set. I left with a new set of clubs that I firmly believe will carry me well into my improving skills and life playing the game.
The store is excellently equipped with equipment and a huge inventory of clubs and gear. I couldn't say enough good things about this experience and, again, HIGHLY recommend Gary Cricks.

I am just getting into golf and upgrading my beginner set. Bought some mint condition Irons from the 2nd Swing website that I thought were perfect for me based on my own online research. Went in for a fitting with David Ko and oh my goodness was I wrong! He got me dialed in on the same irons but with different specs. This was way more comfortable to hit and better performance was immediately visible comparing the two. David helped me with some issues that weren't hardware related, rather my complete lack of knowledge. I felt comfortable the whole time despite walking in there with imposter syndrome from being so new to the sport. It is overwhelming to say the least with all the options that are available to a new player. I can chalk up my great experience and now committed 2nd Swing brand loyalty to the way that David treated me.
Steve Klose
Had an excellent driver fitting yesterday with Kevin Kraft. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of equipment and the golf swing. He is very accommodating and most importantly is solely interested in helping clients play better golf. Highly recommend Kevin. Thanks.
Barbara Hartley
Great fitting for 2 new clubs. Gary Cricks was very knowledgable and was a tremendous help with additional pointers on my stance and swing. Tried many drivers and he was able to determine which one was best for my game and performance. This was the very best experience I have ever had in purchasing clubs. I would highly recommend him. Second swing were customer friendly as well. 👍
The Mayle Family
Jim Donatelli was excellent! Came in for a custom fitting and he was fantastic to work with. Gave me some great feedback and advice. Can't wait for my irons to arrive!
Dara Mazzola
I went here this past weekend for a new (well, “experienced set”) and was greatly surprised. Ryan was my sales associate. He was extremely patient and helpful with what I was looking for. Even with the store being as busy as it was, he still made me feel like I was the only customer in the store. I truly appreciate his customer service and friendly demeanor. Secondly, Meg, the cashier that checked me out, was very pleasant and informed me of their 30 day return/exchange policy. I don’t live very close to the store, however, it was well worth the drive and I’d be willing to do it again! Thank you Ryan and Meg for all of your help this weekend.
Clarence Slayton
Had a fitting with Stephen Fitzgerald at the Columbia Md location. Very happy! He was brutally honest and extremely helpful which was greatly appreciated! Thanks again Stephen!
Clarence, 15 handicap.
Robert Lunsford
Finally got fitted for a new set of irons. 2nd Swing Pro Charlie was thankfully assigned to help me. He did a great job evaluating everything about my needs. He consistently asked for my input and feedback. He saw flaws in my swing as well! He fit me with graphite shafts for the first time. Immediate improvement! I couldn’t be more excited to see the results on the links! Charlie even found the time to re-grip my clubs before I left...everyone is so helpful every time I come in. Thanks Charlie for the excellent experience and professional advice!
Juan Valentin
I went to 2nd Swing Columbia yesterday for a Driver fitting and all the staff were extremely helpful. I'm a novice when it comes to the game of golf however I have been playing for years and developed some bad habits. My fitter, Charlie Murphy was awesome! He didn't hold back which I appreciated given that I only had an hour with him. He quickly diagnosed and assessed my swing and worked within my price range to find me a few options that would work to help improve game. In the hour time slot I was able to find both a driver and wood that felt great and that I am sure will help improve my scores. I'm actually an educator myself and often use catchy phrases to help develop muscle memory and recognition, Charlie was full of key phrases to help me remember things like proper posture and follow through. I would highly recommend a fitting at 2nd swing to anyone looking to find the best equipment to match your playing style. I would also recommend Charlie Murphy as he is a top notch fitter and will work with you to get you where you need to go.
Pedro Kim
David Ko isn't my barber but he shaves strokes off my game like it's nobody's business! Got a putter fitting as well as a hybrid fitting and he was fantastic! Somebody give this man a raise.
EDIT - I'm a 13 handicap and shot 1 under over 9 holes after getting fitted. David Ko is absolutely brilliant!
Cyle Radloff
Had a great experience at the MD store. Jim was very knowledgeable and helpful fitting my irons. This will be my golf store from now on! Highly recommend using 2nd Swing Golf - Columbia for all your golfing needs!
Since I can't write more then one review I'll just add to this one.
I had a driver fitting done in February with Kevin Kraft and once again it was top notch service. Kevin had me hit 4 different driver heads and every shaft I wanted to try. We narrowed it down to two drivers and he left the decision to me, after 20 or so rounds with my new driver I'm very pleased with the results!
Darren Appanah
I came into the store today to browse new irons. Charlie was such a pleasure to work with. He spent ample amount of time viewing my swing and even helped me figure out where my flaws were and how to improve. He had me try multiple clubs and used the swing technology to analyze how i was hitting each set. His knowledge about the game paired with his great personality, made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole experience. I would highly recommend paying a visit to the store and make sure to ask for Charlie!
David Meeks
Great to see such a high-quality new golf store with knowledgeable staff in the DC area. I have known fitter Gary Cricks for years and he is one of the best. Loves the game, knows equipment and fitting and does his very best to help golfers improve. When he told me he was joining Second Swing, I knew this would be a top golf destination. It is always fun doing business with Gary. And they live up to the promises at Second Swing — the playability guarantee is for real, the selection is excellent, the store is huge and the people working there love the game. Definitely worth checking out and you can save a lot of money going with top-quality used equipment.
Catherine Dodson
We had a great experience here! Blaine S. was super helpful! He answered all of our questions and showed us exactly what we needed! He was so knowledgeable about golf and the types of clubs we were looking for!! This place has a large variety of everything you need for golf and wonderful people to help you out. Highly recommend, especially if you are beginners like us!
Kellen Mulhern
I went for a club fitting and worked with Kevin Kraft. My experience was incredibly pleasant. COVID rules adhered to. Kevin was able to recommend a set of irons in my budget and that meet not only my current needs, but he feels it was set right for when my swing improves. Cant wait for my clubs to come in. Great facility. Will be doing my golf shopping here from now on.
Christopher Ritchie
I came into the store to trade in my clubs and see if I could get a fitting. They where booked for a week, Bruce Kelly came over and asked me what I was looking for and took the initiative and great customer service to fit me and help me select a set of clubs. He made it fun and I learned a lot. Thank you Bruce! You made my game better and your customer service went above and beyond 👏👏👏👏👏

I wanted a driver that would give me additional 10-20 yards. So, I set up an appointment with David Ko. After I hit a dozen balls, he suggested me to try Cobra, Titleist and Taylormade drivers. He made some adjustment and I gained 20-25 yards with better accuracy. David knows what he is doing. If you are looking to fit any club, see David Ko. He is the BEST!!!
David Wilsey
I am very pleased with the iron-fitting experience I had with Gary Cricks. This was a thorough fitting that included creating a baseline using my current clubs, finding the best club heads for me, choosing the correct shafts, and determining whether any adjustments need to be made to the lie angle. I had Gary’s dedicated time for a full hour. Gary is very knowledgeable and listened to my goals and concerns. He answered all my questions and provided detailed information to help me make decisions. The fitting center is well equipped. Gary sent me all the detailed information that was collected by trackman during the fitting session. I left feeling confident that I made the right purchase decision for my new iron set.
Tyler Simmons
I did an iron fitting with David Ko and he was excellent. He genuinely cares about helping you find what you’re looking for while also helping with swing tips. He hooked me up with a great set of irons. Would highly, highly recommend booking an appointment with him.
Kenneth Booth
Just finished a Driver Fitting at 2nd Swing in Columbia and was very pleases. Kevin Kraft was my fitter and he was very knowledgeable and brand agnostic. Not the driver I expected, but the feel and the supporting data left little doubt. Looking forward to working through the rest of my bag in the coming months.
Matthew Wood
Charlie Murphy aka The John Shaft of golf was beyond amazing and professional. I was looking at a newer putter that fitted me better than what I had. He fitted me and realized that I need some changes in a few things and adjusted what I was doing wrong. He pulled out another putter and sure enough it was an amazing fit and I was sinking them in the hole one after another. Charlie seriously went beyond what he really needed to do and won me over to come back for any other golf needs. Management was also friendly too. Charlie should be commended for the professionalism and customer friendly attitude he displays. Thanks again.
Mike Dickey
Have to say, might be the best hour I have spent in a long time. Had both hands and one elbow rebuilt last year. This year had right for rebuilt and pinned together then right knee replacement in Dec. Needless to say swing and club head speed suffered. Charlie Murphy
listened to everything then fitted MY EXISTING clubs. I need to get strong and back to fast before I buy a new set. He worked with my putters, got me swing the putter better and adjusted length. Then to TrackMan for irons. Assured me that they are OK for now for me, changed a few things in my swing for me to work on..
Best experience I could hope for. Will definitely go to 2ndSwing and Charlie for everything golf.
Randy Cavitt
I just recently completed a iron fitting by one of the professional fitters (Gary Cricks) this was my FIRST ever fitting and was elastically pleased with his professional expertise in analyzing my swing to find the right clubs for my swing and game. I also had a putter fitting by Charlie Murphy that was great too! Everyone in the store was friendly, knowledgeable and willing to assist.
I will be recommending this store to all my friends!
Kevin Molino
At my fairway wood fitting today, David Ko, my fitter, did a great job finding the perfect club for my swing. He went through all the Trackman info with me, and explained what he was looking for from the new club. All in all, I would definitely recommend 2nd Swing Columbia.
