As someone who knows many pharma reps past and present I think you'll find they do
they might of course be exaggerating their sales techniques 'unofficially'.

Perhaps in the past, but not now. If you know of any dubious practices, report them to the companies involved.
I work in the pharma business, albeit on the R&D side, but I have been a Medical Director for a company that sold products. You hear a lot of tall tales.
In any case, the whole issue says nothing about the question of custom fitting golf clubs.
lol, think it's called sales..........same in every sales industry, for the avoidance of doubt I don't know of any dubious practices as you call it.
apologies OP for the trangression but some things cant be left unsaid

Custom fitting is a lot of old bollocks. FACT is for amateurs we dont have any real consistency, so a club that works well one day might not another.
Save your dough and stick it on the 2.40 at Kempton.

Exactly - backs my point up perfectly big stuff
so by chistmas you could have been Crawforded (or pinged same thing)?

Perhaps you should try getting them fitted properly and then you wouldn't have to change them so often.

Excellent post.
If your playing off scratch,you obviously have a good idea about swing mechanics,and equipment.
Don't worry,somebody will be along soon to tell you your wrong (probably somebody who's never broke 100)

Not saying he he is wrong Mungo, and for most golfers I'm sure his post will be true, but as I've said in another thread if you are above or below average height then it makes sense that a standard length/lie club probably won't suit you as well as one that has been fit.

Rubbish on both counts.
Plenty of handicap golfers have consistent enough swings, with or without swing faults, to be fitted. All golfers have swings with measurable characteristics (swing speed, angle of attack, launch height) that fall within a range. For a pro, that range may be tight, and for an amateur it may be wide, but you can still point them towards something more suitable.
Putting your dough on the 2.40 at Kempton is a real mug's game.

I've only ever been custom fitted for my irons but, whilst at Golf Live in May in hit a few balls in the Cleveland tent. The guy told me that my ball speed was the same as Soren Kjeldsen but, I put far too much spin on the ball which is no good for a driver. He stated that I'd need a shaft that changed my ball flight from an inverse rainbow to a more conventional rainbow shape. Apparently, my current set up is costing my loads of yards as the ball doesn't release when it hits the fairway.
So, he said that I'd need a good custom fit when I purchase my next driver.
If I simply buy one off the shelf then I'm putting myself at a huge disadvantage.

Agreed. Quite funny, that a scratch golfer - the lower you get the more benefit a custom fit will have - states his appallingly incorrect opinion is a FACT.

Your FACTS are so wrong, you don't even realise that more often than not a custom fitting is free!

So, in your opinion, it is a fact, that his fact, is just his opinion?

No wonder the gadget manufacturers can sell so much s**t to golfers,gullible doesn't even begin to describe some.

I've seen the difference custom fitting makes, and particularly with respect to very low h'cap/good players/fast swing speeds, a good fit can have a massive difference on a player's potential

The two (being off scratch and understanding equipment - which is what is being discussed here) have no direct correlation necessarily.Excellent post.

It's a psychological thing with him. He's been fitted properly twice by the best and still moans. He's had Pings in and out his bag along with TM's more times than Homer posts on here. It'll be the same next year and the next and the next and the next! No doubting his talent although he can't putt for toffee these days!
