Sadly, it happens. I know a good friend that got hacked pretty bad a couple times in fittings. To answer your question, no I don't think you need to spend that much to get clubs that fit you.

I am sorry the clubs didn't work out for you but don't understand why you agreed to buy them. We can pay for the fitting and not purchase clubs, no? Not sure I see why we can't just the suggestion is not what you want, more than you want to spend, you don't want to do it, etc.
Bring your current clubs with you and say that you want to make sure you are getting something that is actually BETTER for you than you currently have. I wouldn't do business with any fitter that wouldn't let me compare anything to my current clubs (and couldn't tell me what about my current clubs do not fit me)
I dont plan on buying any clubs at this time I just have never got real great monitor numbers and since I will be testing the R1 I had thought of going there to try and dial it in for testing purposes. You know establish the best baseline.
Has anyone here feel like they have had a truly unbias fitting?
I've been fit twice my whole life. They were a season apart. Once was by my very good friend who worked at Club Champion. I had a lot of fun with it. Second was a Mizuno fitting with a Mizuno rep using the shaft optimizer. I was fit for the JPX 825 Pro with stock Dynalite shafts. I deferred this information to my friend who said that is the completely wrong iron shaft for me. It's far too light and too much spin. In the end my buddy rationalized he probably recommended the stock shaft vs. an upcharge because I would be more likely to spend $900 vs. $1200.
So I suppose fittings can go either way. Just find someone you're comfortable with and can trust. Get referrals for a fitter, like you would for any other high expense job.
Not all "Fitters" or "Salespeople" are looking after your best interest.
Saw he suggested a KBS C taper for you and you're a "36" handicap. Come on...
I agree with some of the other posters. Make him show you the numbers: Launch Angle, Spin etc. Do your research and trust your instinct. Good fitting equipment should feel good to you.
In the Future: Ask the guy where he was trained? How many fittings has he performed? Is he paid on Commission?
Consumers should always be conscious of what motivates the Fitter or Salesperson. Some, are trying to do the very best for you, so they'll have a customer for life. Others, see you and me as $ signs.
Another question, what's the difference between rbz and r11s if I use the stock setting.
Got it. Still stand by main points in my post.
Agreed. There isn't much in this thread that adds up.
Most of the time when the results of a fitting don't work well, it's usually. Technique issue than an equipment issue.
Also the tp shafts are real deal Shafts
TP drivers/fairway woods often have smaller cc heads
A good way to get a non-biased fitting is to make an OEM demo day, and right off the bat tell the rep that is fitting you "I'm not interested in purchasing here". I don't know for certain but I don't think they get commission for selling sets anyway.
The most important thing is that if you don't feel like they are giving you a good fit, keep pushing back to try new things, ect. The feel test (and looks test if outside) is often just as, if not more, important than the numbers.
That's also a great way to waste a person's time. You might also get ignored if you tell them that. If it was a busy demo day, that would be a jerk move imo
