Fitting Fees

[KenL]

So was I right that you dismissed it without trying it?

For me, no you were not right.
I have played with plenty people who have used them and nobody had any faith that it made the slightest difference.
With modern woods if you get fitted and then decide to change loft setting you are immediately losing the "benefit".

depending on how old your current clubs are you may need to buy new wedge(s) and hybrids to ensure you have all distances covered.

You at least have to take along your full bag so you know what you will be missing gap wise and need to fill at a later date.

Sorry what’s pured irons?

It's a way of finding out when a shaft is in it's most neutral orientation so that shaft defelction happens in the best way.
Plenty online about it
Plenty of sceptics, plenty of advocates

Last set of irons I purchased from Scott's place, no fitting fee, when clubs ordered

Geez. I'd have thought spilling 800 notes on new irons would have ensured just about perfection, nevermind spending more puring something that should already be pure.
Maybe it's just me.

When was that if you don't mind me asking?

 

[IanMcC]

How can it be extortionate when you are under no obligation to go there? Expensive, yes, but his reputation precedes him.

Apologies for my incorrect use of the Queen's English. Let me put it another way. Anyone paying that is aidiot.

 

[KenL]

It can hurt your wallet!

 

[Jensen]

Personally, there’s no way I would pay that sort of money for a fitting, unless it guaranteed scratch results ?
I’d be looking at £40 deductible on purchase.

2019 (certain) at swanston
Think at the time there was an advertised fee of £75 for irons
Waived when buying ?

Much appreciated. Thanks. Looks like I may take a couple of trips through when the country opens up again.

Bear in mind you're paying for it somewhere, either up front, or if its waived, the clubs will mysteriously be more expensive...

That's not necessarily true. Modern loft adjustment systems, certainly those with dual cogs, allow loft and face angle adjustment without the need to move the shaft from its "normal" orientation.

I will but just assumed he's closed just now and I'm trying to plan ahead.

Send him a message on twitter or Instagram. I asked him about putter fittings and he responded same day to me.

A mate of mine has been to him and says the fee was taken off, but wasn't sure if that is normal or because he's been a lot.

I plan to go to Scott for a driver fitting sometime this year, yeah the fees may be a bit more but he seems to be the best around so I think the cost is justified.

 

[patricks148]

TBH i've only ever heard good things from people who have had clubs from him so he must be doing something right.

On Callaway yes, any other brands? TM and Ping rotate the shaft.

I may be wrong but I think it has its origins in the production of carbon blanks for fishing rod manufacture. Aligning the spine allowed the most effective delivery of power when casting and also when playing a fish.

That would not surprise me in the slightest..

From what I gather though, SGGT doesn’t stock or fit Ping. Or didn’t
I think it’s to do with Ping being particular about their shafts??

A shame because Ping seem to have one of the best reputations of all OEMs and especially with their Driver range
