I think I've read it on here before but I may be wrong.....is there a charge for a full bag Callaway fitting at St. Andrews if booked through a club pro? There's a price list on the website but doesn't seem to mention that.
i think there is my mate went a couple of years ago and they knocked the price of the fitting off when you bought the clubsI think I've read it on here before but I may be wrong.....is there a charge for a full bag Callaway fitting at St. Andrews if booked through a club pro?

yes, you will have to pay for the fitting i believe and they send you spec to the Pro shop that booked it and the manufacture knocks off the fitting charge i think.Not sure to be honest....they don't actually sell the clubs there, just give you the spec to take to a retailer (but maybe they have an agreement to knock price off)

Heard a few stories of them trying to punt a particular type of iron on folk, in fact heard it on 3 separate occasions so would be interesting to hear how you get on. Do you have a specific model in mind ?
I've been there and done it just under three years ago. At the time, there was no charge but my Pro organised it. I tried a few different heads and about 7 shafts and in the ned fiinished up with Callaway XR's, 2 deg flat with Reflex Graphite shafts. A combination I never would have considered or bought off-the-shelf.
Well all I can say is there was no pressure on me at all. I tried the XR OS and Apex but the XR's suited me best.Interestingly enough, it was the XR's that I had heard was being pushed upon those who went for a fitting when after a different model.

Why would a callaway fitter push a particular set of callaway clubs other than because they’re the best fit?
Bigger commission on particular lines?
They don't get commission. They send data to your pro and you buy from them.
Fair enough.
What is the arrangement? Why are they tied solely to callaway if they are independent of callaway?
Or have I misunderstood something?
Travel a bit further. Go and see Scott Gourlay in Edinburgh, probably the best in the business and then you are not just stuck with a particular brand too.
