If you look in the mirror, you will probably see the person to avoid when getting advice on fitting.Īll too often, we have an over-inflated opinion on our ability (sometimes under-estimation which is almost as destructive) and yet we have a certain way of convincing ourselves that we know best when it comes to golf equipment. Too much ridicule over how dumb I am of a poster because I'm an idiot noob This is to learn from your experiences that you share so that travesties like my experiences can hopefully be avoided for others. edit: I know I am a newbie, oddball who prefers used equipment and doesn't know anything about squat.

The things I hope for in a fitting are: not brand specific, a deep dive into every detail from grip to toe of the club, full club and ball data, and using similar urethane golf balls.
The Dick's experience was the worst with a small selection and a tiny hitting bay which was a small try before you buy experience. I did make the purchase of my favorite club to this day early in my golf journey at Golf Galaxy - a used TM SLDR S 5w with a Stiff shaft, and I love it. With the same fixed smash factor it seemed like they were falsely padding the results to sell more gear. It was more of a try before you buy kinda place. Golf Galaxy was very limited in knowledge and club/shaft combinations to test. It did reveal a swing fault of handle raising and a need for upright lie that I have since adopted to my set of old Pings, so I can't say the experience was all bad. I wanted to try clubs that were over length and a better fitting shaft than what I had, but the help I got was super lame with very little actual fitting or recommendation. The PGA Superstore experience I had was sub par to me. And, you have an option of getting 'fit' by the Roger Dunn employee in the public area if you want to look at used or multiple brands. They do have a real fitting experience with major OEMs and better launch monitors for a fee if you already know the brand you want. This is open to the retail public without a true fitting which has led to many purchases for me on used equipment. Roger Dunn has hitting bays to test the clubs, new and used, before you buy, with launch monitors that only measure ball speed and use a fixed smash factor without any club path data (same experience at all the places I tried so I won't mention it again). I have gone 3 places: Roger Dunn in Santa Ana, PGA Superstore in Irvine, and Golf Galaxy (& Dick's which makes it 4 places) I am thinking about a fitting in 2021 myself, and what little experiences I have had in big box stores verses what I see on TXG's YouTube videos has me really questioning my experiences as total fails. edit: the following are my thoughts on the subject to get the ball rolling and not intended for anything other then contribution for the greater good. Please share fitters to "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" and any terrible experiences we can learn from?
