I’m a lifelong golfer (played college golf), late 40’s, neurodivergent. Play to a +1. Not to project, and as a neurodivergent human, you really want to think about the top line of your clubs. You want good visuals, off set or not. Beyond that, with a few exceptions, in metal woods and mid-high irons, it’s all about the shaft. Torque. Kick point. Weight. Lean. Depending on where and how you typically play (trajectory, windows, spin, speed), this is the stuff that matters. That said, head feel, forgiveness on misses, and workability are important. For wedges, do not get fitted in a hitting bay. Again, with all of the variability in your wedge stack, you want to refine bounce, grind, loft, shaft substrate, beyond your move, optimize around the ground conditions you typically play. My wedge stack looks different in Texas than in California because turf grass and conditions are dramatically different. Never ever fit on astroturf. You’re gonna want to get fitted for a putter and ball, as well. Once you optimize and load your bag, to reach scratch while still thoroughly enjoying your game, the book “Better, Faster..” https://a.co/d/05YQrva8 is essential. Given your process orientation as a neurodivergent person, you will love this book because its frameworks in quant and qual, and because it teaches you how to practice to score, and have fun doing it. Please trust me on this one. I’ve gifted this book to dozens of my guys and gals; they all loved it. Last, in advance of the fitting, make a reservation at your wife’s favorite restaurant at a time just after the fitting. Invite her, obviously. Buy flowers on your way. Do not talk about the fitting. You’re gonna be hungry and you’re gonna be grateful you got a good one. Tell her every day.
